Yes we are still alive.....

Believe it or not... we are. The Hemerson Chicks are alive, well and kickin. We have been enjoying life too much to stop and write about it. Lots has gone on and too much to write but here is the readers digest version..... I am still working at Kids R Kids... now in the baby room and I love it. I have 12 babies from the ages of 6 weeks to 1 year. I never thought this would happen but I am now an early riser. I am to work by 6:30 in the morning so that I can get off work the same time my girls get out of school. I couldn't possibly accomplish this task if it weren't for my sister (Kayla) who moved out here to Reno about a month ago. And that of my new boyfriend, Devon. Yep.. you read right.... I took the plunge and am dating again. He is amazing and my children adore him. And that is perfect for me... for now :)

The girls are doing great. Aleah is now in 3rd grade and loves her teacher, Ms. Martinez. She is taking piano and while it is usually a fight to get to her practice... she is getting the hang on it :) She is still in art, music and reading. Her imagination hasn't dwindled a bit and it is fun watching her learn and grow. Mya is my big 1st grader now and has the same teacher that Aleah had, Ms. Meissner. I absolutely adore her as much as Mya does. Mya is very much a momma's girl and is usually found glued to my hip and doing whatever it is that I am doing. She is also in gymnastics now and is doing really well with that. It is fun watching her do something that is just HER.

Here are some pics of things that we have been doing. All very fun stuff and all very random.... but that's how I love life ;)

Is it really already April???

So where has 2010 gone? I apparently have been too busy to notice that it has flown by... and have gotten plently of slack at my lack of blogging for the year. Maybe because it has been my lack of picture taking as well. But here is going to be a really quick 4 month update of everything that has happened. First off.... New Years Eve. This year I decided the girls were old enough to stay up with us. A couple of friends came over and we just chilled :) It was wonderful :)



Secondly, about a month ago I decided that the girls could have a big play date. So they each invited some friends over from school and we partied it up. Pizza, soda, junk food, movies, fingernail painting, games.... the works. It was a absolute BLAST!!! A must do again sometime :)



And beyond that.... we have been up to nothing but school and my work. But I am happy to announce that we are all alive and happy. All the sickness that has been hitting our house is almost done and gone. Let's just hope it doesn't keep coming back. We are very ready for summer to hit as the girls are on their homeward stretch for this year in school. Hard to believe that Aleah will be in 3rd grade very soon and that Mya will be in 1st. Wow! Can time just stop yet???

Christmas

Christmas this year was a bit hard but I think that considering our life changes.... it turned out to be a GREAT christmas for the girls. They were able to spend Christmas eve with their dad and they had a great time. Did all the fun traditions we used to do.... bake cookies for Santa and all.... :) I got to have a quiet evening out with some dear friends... had dinner and wrapped presents. I even got to sleep in the next day :) The girls came home Christmas day and we had a blast opening presents. Then we went to see A Princess and the Frog! TOO CUTE :) :) And sadly... I left my camera in Utah the week before and so I was unable to get too many pictures this year :( But I got a couple of pictures on my camera... so it works :) So over all, the girls made a hall and Christmas was as great as it could be. I can't complain :)
