Happy Birthday Andrew & Alli



Today we celebrated Andrew and Alli's 5th birthday! It is hard to believe that it has been five years since I held my newborn babies. They are growing up so fast. Alli says that "when you are 5 you can do whatever you want." So she thinks 5 is a magical age! Andrew walked in my room this morning and said "It's my birthday mom!!" They are just thrilled to be 5 and getting to start Kindergarten! I am going to celebrate them by naming 5 things about each of them! I will start with the oldest by 11 minutes!

Alli Jane Rushing

1. She is so sweet and loving to her baby brother.
2. She loves polly pockets.
3. Her favorite colors are pink and red!
4. She loves playing with Andrew.
5. She says the best prayers!


Andrew William Rushing

1. He loves pretending and has a game for everything. Today we watched "Monster House" so later today what did he play...Monster House!
2. He is always running, jumping, and hoping around the house!
3. His favorite color is Orange. He informed me today that he wants an Orange
Birthday when he turns 7!
4. He is such a sweet boy and fun to be around!
5. He loves playing with his sister Alli!

Happy birthday to my sweet little ones!

Update...

Well I would like to inform you all that I have been busy working on all of my "I will" statements. So here is the update.

* I wake up 3 days a week to go work out with a work out group. All of this so I can lose that 5-10lbs.

* I am reading scriptures almost daily. (Does "My First Book of Mormon" count because I read that a lot) Not to mention my church meetings I have with Alli and Andrew to discuss Jesus!

* I have checked out books from the library and have finished the first!

* I am 98.9% completed with Andrew and Ty's rooms. I just need to add a little bit more filling to my cute checkerboard pillows!

* I spent yesterday scouring the house until it was spotless well most of it. All that is left is to clean my bathroom! Which will happen later today!

* I have caught up on all of those little things that needed to be done. Well at least the "needed to be done 2-4 weeks ago ones!"

* I have become a VIP member in the Disney Movie Club.

* I cleaned my computer work space!

That is all I can think of right now. I have to go clean that bathroom!
