Gymnastics!!!

We signed Cayleigh up for gymnastics on Mondays at the local gym near our house. We thought it would be great to get her to socialize with other little kids once a week, and get some exercise! We were a bit concerned she wouldn't like it, or would be really scared of a teacher, but were pleasantly surprised. I have noticed that her friendliness with strangers is getting a bit better. It seems lately that if it is someone I am engaging in conversation with, she feels comfortable with them, which is really great. Alot less hiding between mommy and daddy's legs and tripping us up, lol!

Matt was planning on coming, but wasn't able to get here in time for me to get there early enough to sign papers, so it was just Cayleigh and momma! She was VERY excited to have that time with the 2 of us. The teacher, Ms. Deanna, introcduced herself and asked each child their name. Cayleigh did shake her hand and call herself "Cay-kee". The kids ranged from 18 months to 3, which was nice because Cayleigh fell right in the middle. She enjoyed bouncing on the trampoline, hanging on the bars, walking on the balance beam. Her favorite, though, was jumping in "the pit", which is full of foam blocks. She listened very well to the teacher, and had limited disagreements with me. :)

The only picture I got of her in the gym...

At the end of the class everyone got a stamp, which Cayleigh was SO proud of, she did NOT want a bath that night. She kept pointing to it, saying "mamaw". I gave in.

Sounds like it's really fun! I didn't sign Sadie up this time, but I'm definitely thinking about trying it later this fall. Cayleigh looks adorable, as always!

10 is...

I decided to pop back into my blog and reminisce, and boy is it sad. All of my pictures are gone, thanks to a company wanting $400 to publish them. At least I have my words...On that note, I thought I'd write a bit of what 10 looks like: -Eating a bowl of cereal and a pop tart EVERY morning -Really starting to cooking unassisted. She made a 2 layer cake this week and thanks to a 2 hour delay I got pancakes. Teaching her to cook has been pretty cool.  -Begging me for a cup of coffee because she wants to be grown up. I let her have 1/2 a cup here and there-they say it stunts your growth. I say she is 5 foot 2 inches now so that's a lie. -Texting her friends and playing computer games with them as much as she is allowed. -Watching Hallmark movies day and night with me and Marvel movies with her dad. She is well rounded. -Still loving soccer, but recognizing that sometimes coaches can take away the sparkle of it. -Being 5'1" and wearing a bigger s...

Black Bean burritos

We have really been on a mexican food kick lately. We have mexican at least twice a week, and the only downside is that Cayleigh isn't a huge fan, though she will eat quesadillas and now randomly has a new love for salsa. Lord, don't ask her to eat a chicken fajita, the world may end. Tonight's dinner was Black Bean burritos. I used this recipe as a base for my burritos, but did change it up a bit. Here is what I used, I will put in bold the changes I made: 2 (10 inch) flour tortillas (I used 4) 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I only used 1/2, and used mostly pam) 1 small onion, chopped (I used a purple onion) 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 teaspoon minced jalapeno peppers (I used fresh) 3 ounces cream cheese (I used half a block) 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro I added a half a piece of chicken breast-it goes so much farther with beans Also added a handful of cut up fresh cher...

And the verdict is.....

Sinus Infection. I went to the doctor's today after work and he said I had a pretty bad sinus infection. In my experience, it is definitely my worst one of my life. My head hurts, my eyes are super red and irritated from the sneezing and blowing my nose a thousand times a day. Oh and my throat is scratchy and my ears are aching. I hate being sick. I hate going to the doctor's. I hate taking medicine, particularly medicine with no coating on it that are the size of my pinky finger. It is still raining, with no real end in sight. Hmm...anything else I can complain about? I want to keep it all in this post and just get it all out now so I can get over it! Well there was the fact that my doctor prescribed me eye drops and when I went to pick them up, it was $50!!! Forget it, I will suffer. I will take my $7 generic antibiotic and suffer with red, sore eyes. Ok, enough for today. I promise to be brighter when I am feeling better.
