Update.
So much has been going on lately that i have no time for anything, including this.
I just finished my fourth class. YAY!!! I am so glad to be done with it. I seriously think my professor hates me and idk why. I do everything just like she says and she still takes off soooo many points. It makes me so freaking mad. But what can ya do?!? Not a thing.
The kids are great as always. Dorian is so close to being potty trained, I can almost...well, i don't have a good expression, but yea. Today he went the WHOLE day with no accidents. I am so glad. Mostly because that means no more toddler poop that I have to clean out of underwear. YAY for me. He did so good today, and was behaving really well and then BAM! he threw up ALL over the kitchen. I have no idea why. He was fine all day and then I sat him down to eat dinner and he wouldn't eat. Then he got sick. I am hoping it was just a fluke. He was a little congested this morning so he could have just gagged on flegm, but I really don't think that is the case. We shall see.
Elena is walking so well now. Practically running. That girl amazes me. I mean she turned 11 months yesterday and she acts so big. And she is talking SOOO much. She said "duck" and "backpack" today. (thank you Dora.) She can probably say 15 words at least already. (Mama, dudu [thats what she calls Dorian], papa, uh [for uh-oh], duck, backpack, sock, chiche, this, that, yes, mine, bath, night, bye, hi...ok well thats all i can think of but thats 1, 2....16. Wow. Thats incredible. I really need to make some new videos of her and Dorian. She loves "The wheels on the bus" lately and if I sing it or she hears it she tried to do the motions. Absolutely adorable. That is def something I need to record. I will want to see that one day. I am sure of it. I did record her and Dorian playing the other day. They are so sweet to each other and I really hope it stays that way forever. I hope they always have each other.
So...school is going. I just finish my fourth class like I said. Literally, like I just turned my final project in before I got on here. I still have a few "loose ends" to tie up, but not much. And I am really glad its over. I start my next class thursday. Its basic drafting, which under normal circumstances would be great, but these classes are so fast paced that I do not know if it will be as fun as I hope. I cannot wait to be able to just do drafting all day for work. That will be great. But anyways, this new class is going to break me financially. I got $120 voucher for books each quarter (which is 2 classes for me) and the books for this class are $95 and $157. Are you kidding me. Which mean I am going to have to buy the more expensive one out of pocket, plus the supplies, which are costing me almost $200. And there will be no voucher money left for the next classes books. UGH! I didn't think that it would be this much out of pocket. These classes are only 5.5 weeks long, so I hope that I will need this stuff for every assignment and for future classes. I mean its ridiculous. The class Ijust finish, I had to buy $30 worth of art supplies out of pocket and used them for ONE assignment. I am going to complain about that on the survey for the class. I shouldn't have to pay all of this out of poacket, plus accumulate student loans for the school, so that I use the stuff once. Its retarded.
Well, on to a better subject. I haven't had any time lately to scrap!! I am so sad. But I have got some really great new stuff and a few crafts under my belt. I made these wall letter for a lady on the scrapbooking board on BBC. I think they turned out awesome. I am probably going to dor Dorian's the same way (when I have a chance). I also mod podged this trinket box to look like a treasure box. It looks so awesome. I will post pics of both things as soon as I upload them.
Rosvin is, if everything works out, which it NEVER does in the Army, going to Ranger school in a few weeks. When that happens I am sure that i will have many sleepless nights that I can "catch up" on all of the scrapping that i haven't been able to do lately. At least it will keep me busy, if this next class doesn't. I really hope things work out so that he gets to go this time and that he passes everything the first time. I hate that he will be gone, but they keep telling us he is going to this and that and then change their minds. I just want him to get it all over with so he can be here with us. If he goes he is going to miss Elena's first birthday and mine birthday. Plus, who know what else. We are going to have her birthday next weekend so that he will be able to be here to at least celebrate. He was in Iraq for Dorian's first birthday. The Army says they care about families, but they don't. They give you what you need to take care of your family, but that you away from them. It like they think they can trade a decent lifestyle for time that you can never get back. Its not easy I will tell you that much. But I won't get into all that right now.
I am gonna get off of here for now. My wrist is hurting from being on the compu so long. (I had to redo my entire project)! I will post new stuff later.

Today was a rough day.
I think I will go cry myself to sleep and hope I have a new prospective on things tomorrow. I am super depressed at the moment. Not to mention very confused. I am hoping for some guidance for God.
Why can't things just be good all the time. I hate pitfalls in life. UGH!! I am going to bed.

Little girls don't stay little for very long...
Here is my lil girl walking very well. She just turned 10 months.
So I grabbed my flip video last night to record Elena walking. (She is doing so good.) So I did. Then I decided to look back through them since Rosvin wanted to see what I had recorded. So I show him and then notice there are a LOT of random 1 or 2 second long videos. Almost 40!!! So I start watching and notice that Dorian had filmed them while I was in the shower one day. Most of them are either too short to see anything or too spastic, but there are two that are so cute. Apparently he was trying to record Elena. Its so adorable. So here they are. The first one is Dorian telling Nena to "say Cheese." The second one is what he recorded of her. SOO CUTE!!!

Walking.
Elena, who is 9.5 months, has been crusing for a while now. For about 2 months. She has taken tons of step, even 5 a few times, but she is pretty nervous about doing it. So today I was sitting on the sofa and Rosvin was in the kitchen making lunch. Elena was using my knee for a support and holding onto my finger. Next thing I know she lets go, which she NEVER does. She just stood there staring at Rosvin. I got his attention and he start motioning her towards him. After about 15 or 20 seconds of standing alone she started walking towards him. She took 4 or 5 steps before she fell on her butt. I jump up yelling "yay" and clapping, while she just stared at me like I was crazy. I am soooooo proud. My big girl. :) She has been doing it all day. Watch out world!

What a scare! :(
Happy New Year!!
So anyways. We were all downstairs watching a movie and hanging out, when Dorian decided to go upstairs and get a toy. Next thing I know I hear a HUGE thud, glass breaking, and Dorian starting to cry!!! AHHHH!!! I go running up the stairs yelling for Rosvin to watch Elena, to find Dorian's dresser turned over with all of the draws out and the bottom broken. My heart was racing. Apparently, he had been trying to get this ceramic train off of the top and it fell over. It scared the crap out of him but he wasn't hurt at all. Thank GOD!! He is now banned from going upstairs alone. LOL
What a way to start the year!
