~FALL 2010~

Well Fall so far has consisted of extremely HOT HOT weather.... Weird... anywho.. My Little Monster has started Pre-School which means next year he will no longer be my baby but he will officailly become my BIG BOY as he calls it. He loves loves loves school and they love having him there. I was so worried about him going because we have recently come to the conclusion that he has some form of ADHD. I had asked his Dr. about  it and when we could have him tested they said not until he is atleast 5 and in more of a "Real" school enviroment. Which makes sense but I already know he is hyper and impulsive with things here at home and refuses to let me teach him how to write his name or sing the alphabete with him. Anywho so I asked his pre-school teachers if they would watch him and let me know and they all looked at me funny and they were like really?? He's no more hyper than any of the other kids in his class and sits quietly and does his work listens too. I'm was like wait a minute here are we talking about the same George? They started laughing i'm like no seriously he's a different kid at home they said well maybe him being here and never being in an enviroment like this will help him calm down. So we shall see and hopefully it works and I wont ever have to put him on medications. Keep your fingers crossed. haha on a lighter note Reid is doing well starting to talk more and put sentences together. We just had their pictures taken some for her 2nd Birthday and then some of them together. They are getting so big so fast and I'm trying to be okay with it and take it all in but I'm also kinda sad at the same time, they are my babies and I always want them to be little and cute and tell me that they love me everyday atleast 10 times a day. On to Matthew Alan and I well we made it to 5 years with out killing eachother lol. I Love him so much and me truely is my best friend. So here's to another 5 years and much more after that!!! 

George's First Day of Pre- School

 Slurpee Time

TAGGED......

Okay so I was reading Kendra's blog and she tagged everyone so here it goes..... 
 Here are her Questions...
 1- What is the craziest thing you have ever done? HMMMM.... The Craziest  thing I've ever done I'd have to say is, graduated high school I met my husband got married 6 months later, and then welcomed our son George into the world 6 months after that. That was one CRAZY year for me. 
2- If you won the lottery what would you do with the money? First I would buy my husband and I our perfect little house with a fenced in yard, then I'd probably help my parents pay off their house, Take the kids to Disney Land, give some to a charity, open up college savings accounts for my two kids, put away money for each of their weddings.
3- Who would you say is your best friend (besides your spouse)?Alie Mae, She has been my Bestie since I was a junior in high school and she was a sophmore we met that year and grew to be the best of friends. She's really the perfect friend, she's always there when you need her and even if you haven't talked in a long time( her husband is in the army and they are currently stationed in North Carolina) when we do we go right back to how we were before. I love her so much and we've been through so much together. She introduced me to my husband and I introduced her to her's lol our husbands are super good friends to so that's a plus for the both of us. Her son is 9 days older than my youngest (daughter).
4- What does a perfect day look like for you? Spending time with my super disfunctional family.
5- What are you passionate about? Being a mom, Being a good example, Drawing, Trying to make a small difference in the world one step at a time. 
6- Did you have any resolutions for 2009? If yes- what were they and have you accoplished any? um not really just try to be a little less stressed out. Make more time for me. Spend more time with my girl friends( every girl needs that girl friend time) it was a 50 / 50 accomplishemnt.
7- What do you see yourself doing in 10 years? Going back to school, graduating, buying a house, hopefully be living in a different state, Watching my kids grown into big kids.
8- If you could have a feast of your favorite foods- what would be on the menu? well I love food and my husband is in school to be a chef so  here we go... I would have Turkey Fried Steaks( with Ketchup) Mashed potatos, Green Bean Casserol, Rolls, Salads ( Green salads, chicken bowtie pasta salad, my mom's potato salad, my husbands pasata salad) Rootbeer floats, Lime rickey's, then for desert, my mom's pumpkin cookies with cream cheese frosting, Cheesecake, and of course My extremely Large DIET COKE! haha ( just so you know my mouth is watering at this very moment)


Now I'm Tagging all of.... YOU!!!!!!!!!  Give it your best shot here are my Questions for you to answer....

1- If you could spend a day with anyone you wanted (deceased or alive) who would you pick and why?
2- What is your favorite time of the year?
3- What did you always want to be when you grew up? and did you become what you wanted to be?

                                                                                     Reid just loved the Swings

George had to have his picture taken by the Dinosaur foot prints...(he loves loves loves dinosaurs)

To Long For No Post!

Well it's officially August and this year has gone by so fast. My baby girl turns 2 in a month and i'm so up and down about it. I miss having a baby baby but at the same time I love seeing her experience the world and all. George starts Pre-School in Sept. i'm so excited for him but sad at the same time. It's going to be weird dropping him off on his fist day I just might cry. haha well here are some picutres of the kids just a couple recent ones off of my phone. 











George pre-hair cut

Finished product. He calls it his Manny do! (Our friend Manuel wears his hair like this and George just loves him to pieces and when Manuel moved back to Colorado George decided he wanted a Manny Do!)

My little baby of Love Reidie Roo Roo....  Her hair decided it was going to be perfect little wringlets and I'm so jealous but it fits her so well.

Can you say "GANGSTA" lol they make me laugh so hard each day with the Corky little things they do together!

This one is from when my brother came home from his Mission... He served the Australia Adileaide mission. We are all so Proud of him and the man he's become!




                 We spent a whole afternoon amazed at the cool pictures we could do on our phones
                  with the NEGATIVE setting haha here are some of the pics.....

                                                              Matthew aka "HUSBAND"

                                                       George aka "HULK"                     

                                                           Reid aka "ROO ROO"

Why.... Must we get so attached to some people???

It seems like people come and go out of our household.... ALOT, and we grow so attached to most of them... Some are friends, some are family, some become family in our hearts and in the end it's so hard to say goodbye. I HATE goodbyes, they are the worst thing ever so for me a see ya soon is much much better to deal with. So whether you have stayed at our home or come into our lives for a short period of time remember you will always be part of our lives and our families lives.

BAHA

Well... I haven't written on here for a bit and well life is kinda hecktic at the moment but as a family we push on day by day minute by minute! I've come to realize that life will always throw you a curve or a turn and you just need to run with it cause it's not going to change unless you make it change and you want it to change. My family is my rock and I'm so thankful that I have them! Each day is a new day and live it to the fullest! It's sad but I honestly only have a couple of really good friends, and I don't think they know how much I love them and appreciate their friendship. It's hard to find those these days especially with all the drama and B.S. there is that goes around in the world. So for me I just stick with Family! They are always going to be here in the end and always love and respect you too. My closest friend lives on the other side of the country right now with her little family and I miss her so much. She has been by my side through thick and thin and we have had our share of REAL rough patches but I know I can always call her and she will make me feel better! It's so weird to think some of the closest friends you had growing up, you have nothing to do with as an adult. I had a pack of 5 super close friends from 3rd grade till 12th grade and I only litterally speak to 1of them now. I guess what I'm saying is you change, your life changes, and your friends change. So keep the ones you don't ever want to loose REAL close cause you never know one day you might not even talk to them. Geez it's like I had a fraeking revelation or something LOL anywho i've been needing to write it down for a bit so I thought hey since i'm up at 12:45 a.m. WHY NOT! haaha well good night y'all talk to you sooner than later!

Sick Feeling

You know when you Get that awful sick feeling in the pit of your stomach. Like you know or feel that something is wrong.Yep surely do have that at the moment. I hate when Matt goes out cause I worry so much. I know I admit i'm the biggest worry wart there is (I get it from my mother, Thanks mom) I just hate it so much. Cause when you get this horrible feeling you know something is wrong but you know deep down you can't do anything about it. Cause it's already happening and you honestly don't know what it is that's taking place or going wrong. DANG IT........... I hate it.

To Short

Sometimes I sit back and think to myself.....You know life is way to short to dwell on the bad things that happen or go on or the bad things that have been said. You need to live you need to keep on pushing through each day and remember the amazing things you Do have or the amazing people in your life that you never want to lose. Life isn't about the expensive nice things, the nice big house, the amount of money in your bank, the fancy car... Life is about being free and enjoying every minute you have with the ones you love... I know I appreciate the roof over my head(it may not be the big fancy house with everything new inside it) but it's my house and I love it. I appreciate the amazing children god has given me and the knowledge and strenght to be the best mom I can be.  I appreciate my husband even though he's a pain in my butt sometimes I'm still madly in Love with him. I apprecaite my parents for putting up with all my crap growing up and then loveing the person I've become today.  I'm not perfect I'm not Rich but you know what I do have love and happiness in my life and that's a lot compared to some people. I just hope every one can appreciate someone or some of the things they have in their lives because you never know ONE DAY IT JUST MIGHT BE GONE.

Life

So i've been reading this blog by a lady named Kendra and her story is amazing and powerful. I've cried, smiled, laughed and adored reading her story. She is such a strong woman, she has been through so much in the last year that I can't even imagin how she goes one each day. Her blog is so moving and truly inspirational. She has taught me that you CAN'T take life for grantit even if it's not your own. To love every minute with your children and Cherish those memories cause one day it could be gone. I love that she blogs about her feelings it's really nice to know there are people out there willing to share there stories. I hope she keeps on going day by day and makes it through her tough time. I wish her family happiness and I pray for you always. Keep your baby's memory alive and share your story with everyone! It truly is powerful and moving. So I thank you for that and I thank you for teaching me to be a better person.

ANGRY!

So I'm writing this post because i'm irritated and angry with my husband. I don't understand why it's so hard to stay home with your kids and not complain while I go to the hospital to visit my Grandma? Get home and he's mad at me for being gone 3 hours. Not to mention I was there with her by myself and had to help her eat dinner. Then his friend comes over tonight and says hey lets go to Josh's house. So my wonderful husband says I'm going with them i'll be back later i'm like how are you coming home?? I can't just leave the kids here alone sleeping? So he proceeds to tell me I'll find a way and I know exactly how that one's going to go. I wont even see him till tomorrow afternoon. So I say okay and his like are you going to be mad at me? I say No i'm not going to be mad but hey when Can I go out to have a girls night??? He says well you were gone for like four hours today that should be good enough. Um excuse me I went to see my Grandma who just had serious surgery yesterday and I couldn't take either of my kids with me because they don't allow they back in the rooms. So I don't think that counts as a girls night out.
Every married couple should get to atleast have some ME time once in awhile. It's not fair when one gets to do whatever and go where ever and not have to do anything. And the other gets to stay home with the kids or when does go out HAS to take a child everytime. That's not Fair and I'm really sick and tired of it.
Let me know your opinions about this please and help me Get my girls night out at least once a month.

~HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LOVER!~

Happy Birthday my love!!!! 25 Dang your old lol. Just playin....  I'm so glad you and I have made it this far and hopefully more and more and more years to come! 5 years 2 kids late wow we have a crazy life but a good life!!! I love you and hope you have a great day!

~Friends & Family~

Of all the friends I've ever met,
You're the one I won't forget.
And if I die
Before you do
I'll go to heaven
And wait for you
I'll give the angels
Back their wings
And risk the loss
Of everything
Just to prove
My friendship is true
I'm thankful to have
Family and Friends like you!

JANUARY START THE YEAR OFF RIGHT!!!!!!!

Well now that January is almost over I think i've done pretty good at blogging for the month. I just hope I can keep it up for the rest of the year! We will see...  haha  Well Matt's birthday is on the pro bowl so that should be a fun get together! George is really excited for his birthday this year and keeps talking about it. Probably because we are going to his cousins birthday party tomorrow. He hasn't really gotten the concept of everyone else celebrates birthdays too and you just have to wait your turn for yours to come around. March really isn't that far away though. I can't believe he will be 4 so crazy how time flies by and you don't even realize it till it's done and gone. We finally figured out which pre school he will be going to and I hope he enjoys it come September. Reid is Sassier than ever at the moment and has finally started to show her personality and I have to say she is quiet the little DIVA haha. A mini me for sure. I'm so proud of my kids and can't wait to see what the future has in store for them. Matt is hopefully going to be enrolled in school by April. We are keeping our fingers crossed. He wants to be a Chef. He does love to cook. It will be a great job for him and he will be great at it. After he finishes school hopefully I can go back. I really want to and have wanted to for a long time, but with Matt's back messed up he was told he needed to find something other than construction/ labor work (which he has only done since high school and it's all he really knows) to find something else to do that doesn't put stress or pressure on his lower back. So School was the answer and he is suprisingly really excited about it and i'm excited for him. I don't really know what I want to go back for yet but I guess I have a year or so to think about it. Well that's the spill for now.
Much Love
R.I.P. Priest 
Your were an amazing dog even though you were only here on this earth for a short time. We love you and will miss you!
