BEEN QUITE SOME TIME!

WOW... it seems that it's been forever since I sat down to write anything, heck I can't even remember writing my name!

Krystina is doing amazing... she is in gymnastics and absolutly loving it. She does it once a week through her preschool, which will mean in a few weeks when she starts the summer program at her kindergarten we will have to pay seperatly for it but to see her excitement it's toatlly worth it. I love that she wants to do something athletic! We recently went in for her 5 year old appointment... WOW aren't those fun! Shots and comparing your child to every other child that is the same age. I mean, REALLY! I don't look like 'most people' my age and I am sure my height and weight are a bit different but I don't think that any adult would want to hear that. My little bug is in the 95% for her height but 85% for her weight... so she is a stocky kid. I will not put my FIVE YEAR OLD on a diet nor will I even entertain that idea. Anyone that knows me knows how I eat... and it's a far cry from unhealthy. BLAH!

Last weekend, May 16, I placed 1st runner up and won the Civic Award for my community service in the Mrs. California United States Pageant. My husband, daughter, mother in law, brother in law and wife... cousin and boyfriend... and coach were all in attendance. I really wanted to win, I can be honest. No one competes to lose, lets get real While it was an aweseom experience and again I met some of the most interesting women ever, I still REALLY wanted to win... but there is always next year as I did win interview so that is pretty cool!

Yesterday was a wonderful holiday with my family. With having both a soldier and a retired veteran (my father in law) both in the family I have a new found love of Memorial Day as more than just a Monday off work. Watching them both stand up and be recognized at the Angel game last night brought tears to my eyes. I am so proud of Grant and proud to be that soldiers wife.

Well... I guess that is the readers digest catch up... although FULL of ADD it helps. I will go back to writing more... it just seems that my Mrs. OC blog gets updated WAY more often.
