Eat em up!

He's just so darn cute, I want to eat em up!

Let the Sillies out!

There's many things I absolutely love in this world, first and foremost God, my family, Starbucks and my iPhone.. to name a few. The APPS on the iphone are so much fun and can provide for hours of entertainment. I came across one called "pimpy". I mostly buy Free APPS and this one was, so I figured I'd get it try it out and if I didn't like it just delete it. I've has so much fun with this APP and unfortunately, my family have been my victims!

Can't forget the Dog

Steven and I New Years Eve

Our Little John Cena

Professor Andrew

Luke the Rebel

Fan-ATTICKS!

On Sunday the boys finally were able to head to the long awaited WWE PPV Elimination chamber which was taped at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, Ca. It was planned about a month or so ago. The tickets were bought and Andrew asked his usual 50 questions... a day! As you can see from the picture to the left the "chamber" is quite intimidating. This was a big thing for Andrew. He's been into the Wrestling for maybe about the past 6 months. I don't anticipate a change in hobby anytime soon. What I probably love most about it is, Steven has always been a WWE fan, since before him and I even met some 14 years ago. We even went to a few event's. Only then it was Kurt Angle and The Rock, ironically The Rock has come back to the WWE - no complaints there, he is my favorite. What I'm getting at is Steven still watches and Loves it. It's a great bonding tool for them. Every Monday and Friday night the house shuts down for Monday Night RAW and Friday night Smackdown. I'll admit, I even watch it =) The boys left in the afternoon and did not get home until late that night. Most of Andrew's favorite guys were there. There was even speculation that The Undertake, which is Andrew's #1, was going to make his comeback, which didn't happen.

They Stayed a while and watched the chamber get taken apart

They even left in time to see some of the wrestlers leaving. Andrew even got some waves which he was happy about.

As if the WWE Elimination Chamber wasn't enough...

Steven came to me yesterday and said that they are filming Friday night Smack Down tonight

( in our home town ) Which will be the show they air Friday night we usually watch on TV. The Undertaker was also going to be making an appearance. He wanted to take the boys and I really wasn't too hot on the idea. I thought i was a little over kill. He also wanted to take Luke who also loves WWE. He's a John Cena fan. I picked up Andrew from school to a notice for an award he's getting Friday, a great spelling test, and a 27 ( which is great ) on his rocket math. It make the decision of them going that much more rewarding. An early dinner and off went the boys. Unfortunately, Steven's camera was acting up so no pics and I was greeted home at 10pm with 2 grouchy sleeping boys!

Coming along...

In my first blog of the year "Happy New Year" I listed some things I really wanted to do this year. So, far I'm really on a roll. I've already had a couple scrap nights and finally finished my best friends Mom's wedding album. I won't mention how long I had that thing*Cough* (a year). I can't wait to give it to her in a couple weeks!

Second, I have already started organizing and separating pictures. I've already done a thousand of the 3 that are on my computer. With my organizing goals, I realized with 2 small kids, I'm never going to really be organized. I have a rules as far as things/toys being ripped or broken go, if I find them destroyed they are automatic trash! We've also been in this house for 3 years and I really do feel that it's a life long project. There's so much to get done, and it will in the years as time and money allows.

I'm happy to also report I've had many girls nights and have take more time to visit with friends in the day time when I can. It's important to embrace those friendships. And I'm really proud of myself for the efforts I've made so far and it only being February!

Prayers are needed..

I don't normally post a lot of prayer requests, or things of that nature. Not because I don't believe in the power of prayer. But I know my blog does not generate much traffic. However, I can't help but shed some tears for this family. They are a family in our community, and though I have never formally met them, I see them everyday at school for drop off and pick up. They have 4 kids, 3 girls and 1 boy.

About 2 weeks ago, they learned that their daughter, Brooklyn, was diagnosed with "All Leukemia". As a mother of 2 I can't even imagine the pain and heartache this family is experiencing right now, and I know they need all the thoughts and prayers they can get.

Please visit their blog to learn a little bit about Brooklyn's Journey, and tonight, please include them in your bedtime prayers. I would hope that if I were in their shoe's someone would have it in their hearts to do this for my family. Thank you for reading!

I'm an Auntie!!

Early this morning, my brother's baby girl arrived, Cheyenne. Middle and last name still undecided ( an unfortunate situation ) Regardless of all the chaos and drama between my brother and the Mother, Cheyenne is healthy and absolutely beautiful!

Happy New year?

Is it really a new year? It's hard to accept, when I think about it, how fast 2010 went. It wasn't a bad year, but there were some things that happen that I wish didn't. And when it was all said and done, I really do have more to be thankful for than the things I wish would have happened differently. I've decided to not make any resolutions this year. As years past have shown, I'm not great at keeping them because there's always something that prevents me from accomplishing them.

So, rather than a list of resolutions, I'm just going to make a To Do list. I'm better at those =)

Along the way, I'm going to focus on doing things differently, directing my energy to the positive and staying as far away from the negative as possible. Which if you knew my family seems hard to do these days. I have great friends that I'd like to spend more time with and find an even balance between that, work and home. Home being my number 1 priority of course.

Here's some of the things I'd like to work on this year:

• Scrap - I really want to get the boys books started. Andrew's baby book is started but Luke's isn't. I really want to get their memories saved for them.
• Back up all my pictures off my computer to disks, and every month print 1 batch out. I'm so afraid I'm going to loose the pics on my computer.
• Get more organized - If we aren't using it, out it goes! Our office has become a catch all room, and I'd like it more organized as this is where I will be scrapping.
• Taking a little more time for me. This is not as easy done as said. Normally when that time comes up, I'm too tired, so I really need to encourage my self to muster up the motivation.

I really hope everyone is having a great start to 2011!

3 is the magic number

Today our little man turned 3! Where did the past 3 years go? I feel like it was just yesterday that we were trying to conceive him.

Luke, your such a goof ball! Your strong willed, stubborn and know exactly what you want. You have no problem tell us how it's. You have the silliest laugh and currently are on your way to being diaper free. You have been doing great and get better with each day. You love Batman, Iron man and John Cena.. You are easy going for the most part and love playing with Andrew, who you call Doo doo. The smiles you give me daily are endless! You love adventure and are fearless there's nothing that will stop you!

Happy Birthday, booger, we love you!
