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!
