Kaylee, 22 month old, is addicted to Barney. It was cute at first but now it is just annoying. That girl could watch barney all day every day. She almost does. First thing she says when she gets up in the morning is "Barney again, Barney again, Barney again?" She will lead me to the tv for me to turn it on for her. In the mornings I usually give in because that is when I am eating breakfast and getting ready for the day. The second the show is over she is running around the house yelling, "Barney again, Barney again, Barney again,...?" When she finds me she leads me back to the tv to start it over.
All day long she is asking to watch Barney. That purple dinasour has brainwashed my little girl. I try hard not to give into her request so much but whenever she asks to watch "barney, again?' and I say "no." She immediately starts to cry and throws herself on the floor like she always does when she is upset.
The fun part is that Kaylee loves the songs and loves to dance to the songs. I need to stop enabling my daughter and get her out of the Barney phase because those songs are so catchy that I find them stuck in my head all day.
Aaron is addicted to Christmas. He loved Christmas this year and doesn't want to let it go. He has to watch Polar Express everyday. He is constantly asking me to draw a Christmas tree with presents for him. He is always talking about how Santa brought him train tracks and trains for Christmas and how Santa needs to bring him some more. Right now we are watching a Christmas Thomas the Train show. :) Wow, it is February and this kid is still stuck on Christmas.

February Resolutions
First of all, I want to apologize for not updating my blog much lately. I used to have the goal to update it once a week. Now that I am so behind I get overwhelmed with how much I was going to do but never did. I also feel like there is nothing to blog about. So I am going to try to be better blogging about the little things that matter to me. Here's to hoping I do better.
Most people start their new years resolutions on Jan. 1st. I have to start mine on Feb. 1st. On Jan. 1st I am usually out of town for the holidays and not back to my normal routine to switch it up to make changes. So when Feb. 1st rolls around I realize that January is over and I did not stick to any of my resolutions at all. Now that I have been home from our travels for a month I feel more prepared to make changes. Last February I started going to the gym to lose a few pounds. I was going about 5 times a week and I think I did fairly well through out the year. I did end up losing about 17lbs. Unfortunately, my frequency to the gym was decreasing. By the summer I was going 3-4 times a week and by fall I was down to 1-2 times a week and by winter I was down to 1time every week or two. Sadly, all the weight that I worked so hard to lose is all back. :( Here I am a year later and I back where I started. I am ready to work again. I have worked out the last three days and I am so sore.
The hardest thing about going to the gym is that I can only go in the mornings before Eric goes to work because there is no childcare at the gym I go to. I want to switch gyms to one that does have childcare but I signed a contract til August with my current gym so I guess I need to stick it out and go to the gym at 6:30am.
Along with working out I need to start eating healthier. This is a tough one for me. I need to practice better self control and portion control. I give into temptations to easily when it comes to food. It is a battle I fail more than I succeed. I am working on it though. :)
There are many more resolutions I need to work on but I am starting with the gym and will try to work in new ones every week or two (like blogging more). I want to be a better and healthier person. Sometimes as a mom I try to take care of everyone else before myself. I want to make sure that I am taking care of myself and my needs so that I can be the best wife and mom for my family.
