my first post! yippee!

ok, well, i am relatively new to the whole blogging thing, but i thought i would create this blog to record all of my daily adventures. it seems important to keep a journal and journaling is something i wish i did. hopefully, i will be able to just come to the computer and sit and let out all of my thoughts and ideas and dealings with the bryan l horspool family. first an introduction!

i am jamie suzanne horspool. born jamie suzanne clark on 27 june 1980 in albuquerque, new mexico. raised most of my life in jefferson city, missouri. went to college in provo, utah and attended brigham young university. got married (hence the bryan l horspool family), graduate college, worked as bryan finished, moved to cypress, california in july 2004 (bryan attends university of southern california school of dentistry), had a beautiful baby, grace madelyn, on 16 september 2004, played with gracie a bunch, had another beautiful baby, raegan payge, on 07 june 2006. i guess that is me... readers digest version. moving on to my sweet and sours about yesterday.

yesterday... hmmm... yesterday was a good day. well, the girlies woke up at about 6:45. yikes! what were they thinking. at about 7:15, i rolled out of bed and went in to get them up. grace was laying in her bed, just thinking, i guess. raegs was standing up in her crib waiting for me.... just smiling. when i went in, grace says, 'mom, can i get out of bed?' hmmm... what a sweet girl, i wonder why she thought she had to ask. i got raegs out and she was ever so happy to be held. we ate breakfast and played. i tried to clean up the house a little, but we had to hurry to get raegan down for a morning nap... at 11:00 we needed to be at an easter party at alison earl's. gracie was so excited. she kept saying over and over, 'we're going to an easter party with nik!' it's kind of funny that she left jaxson out of the picture considering that he is her age, but none the less, it was cute. well, off we went to the easter party. we pulled up and got the kids out and went inside to play. grace headed straight for the bounce house. she loves that thing. raegan was a little more weary about what to do, but eventually found her place.... right in mommy's arms. that silly kid wanted to hang out with me. well, after sandwiches, stickers, coloring, capri suns, easter egg hunting, and cookie decorating, we were finally ready to leave. raegs needed a nap and grace needed to be cleaned off.

moving on to thursday afternoon, bryan arrived home from school and we started our drive up to yucaipa. yuk! at 4:00. prime driving time if you love traffic. well, the drive only took us about 2 1/2 hours. at least the girls were good. except when raegs would scream, grace would start to cry. she says, 'it hurts my ears!' yikes! finally, the arrival at grandma and grandpa's house. luckily, tami was here with her kids so grace had someone to play with. the night ended well enough. bryan was able to finish his scuba test (next come his first pool dive), and everything was peaceful once the kids were asleep.

ok, well, hopefully my new goal of writing will be successful. i hope to record all of the days events with the girlies (good and not so good). now, as i sign off, i look forward to a new day of adventures!
