....

This is totally out of character for me (I'll be shocked if I actually post this and leave it up)...anyways here goes...

I DELETED IT..........

.... it didn't last long...I guess I realized my original post was based on some pretty intense emotions at the time...if you wanna chat about what I wrote call and ask me. I jumped on by soap box and said what I felt like saying for some time and now I'm over it. Thanks for reading :)

Sunshine!

It's been awhile since I've posted pictures. Our little family has been busy with work, school, dance, and just life really.

Sibs...

I love watching Ruby interact with Finn. Honestly it makes me wanna have more kids. I know they are going to have so much fun playing together and growing up so close in age. I can't wait until they can have conversations together :)

Matching jammies...
Tummy time...
Good morning sunshines....

I've been spending all my free time researching and looking up grant opportunities for women business owners, and connecting with any and all people I know that would have advice for me on this new adventure. It's all so overwhelming. Once dance is over (March 20th) I think I'll have much more time to really think this over. So much to think about...how BIG do I really want to make this....rent, buy, lease...ugh! I just want a studio...I just want to teach the art of dance...I want people of all ages to be able to express themselves and get exercise through dance....I want to make a positive impact on my little community....I want kids that live here to have a fun, safe, clean place to come and learn about dance(everyone can dance...if you can wiggle you can dance).....is that too much to ask for? I wish I could snap my fingers and have a place.... why is this "business" stuff so overwhelming!!!???

Really random just my thoughts...

BIG idea...

I've wanted to open a dance studio ever since I moved back home after graduation, and once I started coaching the dream grew even more intense. I mean I love dance, and as it is I eat, sleep, and breathe dance....So why not expand my canvas?!... I have so many ideas, and I'm constantly telling my family how badly I want to do it, and after my conversation with my good friend, Jenna I just feel like I have to explore the idea more. I mean all it could be is completely too much, right?

Anyways I can't stop talking about it and Casey is tyring to read for class so I can't talk to him so... I thought I'd blog about it! If you have any advice/comments/concerns/ideas I'm open to it all!

If you live in my hometown I know we already have a studio (I too went there), but mine would be a lot!!!! different, I love variety and I love to dance so adult classes would be a must!

Busy...

The VandenBos household is borderline out-of-control. So busy lately. Casey has been working his normal 45 ish hour work week and going to school on top of that. I totally forgot how much reading school requires (boring). On a huge plus Casey absolutely loves his program. He doesn't hate going to class and he's really enjoying all of his reading thus far!

This week started my 6 solid weeks of dance 6 days a week! Good thing I love it :) But it is hard to leave the kiddos. Also, Casey's truck is finally in the shop getting fixed from his accident before Christmas....which means we are a 1 vehicle family this week....which is something we have thought about becoming once Casey starts teaching. I guess it's good practice. So far its worked out thanks to my dad :) It'll be much easier when Casey works in the same town, well at least I think it will be.

Kids are doing good. Finn is seriously a giant, he looks like a 4 month old, no joke. He is still having digestion issues, but we have figured them out. I just really have to watch my diet, dairy is not good for the boy. It has made me realize just how much I really do love cheese! His days are spent sleeping, eating and smiling. He really loves his sister, facing outward (while being held), to sit-up, and to take baths. The last 2 months have gone by too fast. Finn has definitely been a better sleeper than Ruby was, but he has also been a lot more fussy than Ruby was/is.

Ruby is amazing. She is growing up so fast. She says the funniest things. She loves to be naked too. She is always stripping her clothes off and she knows she is not suppose to unless they are dirty, so now she looks straight at me and says "the shirts yucky, mommy. It got dirty." then she runs and puts it in the hamper :) She's a great big sister and I absolutely love watching her interact with Finn.

Ok this took me 4 hrs to finish...I hope it make sense!
