Autumn got to pick what she was grateful for - she chose "mommy kissing me" and "ponies" - what a sweetheart!

Uncle Mark and Autumn! - he hadn't given her a snake-bite yet.

Autumn and one of her boyfriends (Gavin) making eye contact.

Distracted during her program - and had the great need to roll up her pants and pick at her legs.

(Please note where her Peppermint Stick was before starting to sing)

"I took a lick of my peppermint stick,

and I thought it tasted yummy.

It used to be on my Christmas tree,

but I like it better in my tummy!"

I got to see Twilight - Breaking Dawn part 1 tonight before the majority of the world does on the 18th!! SPOILER ALERT: (sorta) to get your money's worth - wait until the credits are done rolling. About 90 percent of the movie goers had left the theater and missed out.......... The movie is PG 13, however Lilly will see it when she is 30.

A day at the MOA Nickelodeon Park

2011-11-13T17:23:00.000-08:00

Autumn wanted to go on rides for her birthday. So she got an unlimited wristband for rides at the park (and of course so did Lilly and Sienna) - - - 5 hours later - we finally went home. Mom was incredibly stupid and wore high heels.

This video is titled: 4 seconds of cute.

Autumn is 4

2011-11-13T17:16:00.001-08:00

My Autumn is 4! I can't believe it! Happy Birthday sweetheart!

Fort Awesome! ...disguised as a house...

2011-11-02T20:54:00.000-07:00

In the spring the deck will go up.

Clean.

Dirty.

The 3 Kronholm children are proud owners of Fort Awesome. **Yes, it is legally called Fort Awesome - and when it was being named, Ross and I were unable to attend that meeting so Scott was left to his own devices...

In a few weeks it will officially have 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom with setup for additions if we so choose....I personally see the 2nd bathroom being installed...but baby steps...

This was made possible with the help of friends and loved ones!!

...it has been a long time...

2011-11-02T20:28:00.000-07:00

We're back. Facebook just doesn't allow the freedom of "the blog." Anywhoo quick update:

1) No longer working in the hospital - and BTW - just because I no longer work in the hospital - doesn't mean I am no longer a "real nurse." I now work as a pharmacovigilance specialist RN. In a nutshell - I work with other HCPs and pharmaceutical companies in regards to adverse events with pharmaceutical products and report to the FDA. I dabble in other products as well - but pharma is my priority now.

2) Andrew is now a biopharm research and design mech engineer - - interesting how our work paths keep crossing over each other.

3) Lilly is 9 and in 4th grade. She will be taller than me in a few months. I am not pleased.

4) Autumn is 3 -almost 4 and is in preschool. She apparently has several boyfriends. Her father is not pleased.

5) Sienna is potty trained. Mother and father are pleased. Fin.

6) We no longer have Kiki. When I switched jobs she went batty and the poor thing needed a home where someone was home more often - she went to a good home so every one is happy.

7) I have a fort. More on that later.

8) I still can't parallel park.

9) We are all well :)

Same old. Same old.

2010-07-08T13:21:00.001-07:00

KiKi. The most predictable, quiet, sit in the sun all day kind of dog on the planet. Here she is. Snug on a rug at my feet.

Autumn and Sienna in the bathtub BEFORE Autumn had a giant deposit of diarrhea in it.

Your face is going to get stuck that way !!!

2010-06-03T14:12:00.000-07:00

If my face were to get stuck in any position...it would be this one. It is my "Really? Really??!!" face. It used to be a face during my teen years *plus lots of eye rolling - then later...my face reserved for "special occasions"...now it is used beyond often at both work and at home.

Potty Training. Fail.

KiKi went to the groomers today at the Stone Mountain Pet Lodge and got herself a pawdicure and other doggie grooming delights. It is hard to tell in the pictures of any changes but she looks fabulous and her coat feels like silk again! Love it!

2010-05-20T09:27:00.000-07:00

The children were quiet.

Something naughty must be happening.

...I was right.

I found Autumn holding a bag of Jelly beans *which i don't know how she got* and standing next to her...Sienna, the accomplice.

However...Autumn looks up at me.

She looks down at the bag of jelly beans.

She looks back up at me.

She pauses.

She shoves the bag into Sienna's pudgy arms and says with dramatic horror in her voice: "SIENNA! What are you doing?! Bad Sienna!"

- - - - - - priceless.

I see you!

2010-05-19T10:50:00.000-07:00
