Hi all! Christmas is my very favorite holiday/time of year/decor, etc... In fact, I'm listening to the Christmas music station on Pandora as I write this. lol. Anyhoo, me and the boys made Christmas countdown rings this year. I was prepared to do the standard construction paper style but I stumbled across some felt and puffy paint that was hiding in a cupboard...
Hello all, I haven't posted in over a month so I thought I'd write a little note... With the exception of Daniel's Aunt Carol's funeral Saturday morning (which was sad albiet a good chance to catch up with the family), Daniel, the boys and I had a great weekend, just the 4 of us. I'm happy to say we didn't have...
Me, Daniel and our roommate Val took the boys up the Ortega mountains on Saturday to go hiking. We all had a blast, it was $5 for the "adventure pass" and it's 15 mins from our house! Great way to spend a Saturday aaaaaand a great workout too. Can't wait to do it again. :) The boys were pooped! We had a great...
I printed off the free template that Alicia over at "A Magical Childhood" had posted and cut out on sticky paper these disguises for the boys. They had a blast! We were listening (randomly) to "You've Got to Pick A Pocket" from the Oliver! soundtrack. They LOVE that song! lol Got some great picks, great memories. :) ...
Well, night one of my new mission to bring joy to my children and vice-versa didn't go so well. Jack has what I like to refer to as a "listening problem". At any rate, I'm going to keep trying... Did you wish me luck yet? I feel like I could use it.... :)
So, my friend Katie posted this entry from "A Magical Childhood", which is a blog that gives fun/creative tips and activities to do with your children. It was a total wake up call for me. It reminded me that my children need to be my priority and more importantly, my JOY! I find myself far too often becoming irritated with the boys and their...
So I posted the other day on Facebook that I was so excited, I'm losing weight, yada yada yada... Well now, my general feeling is frustration. 9 times out of 10 I walk to Subway for lunch. And not just Subway, I walk to Target first, walk around in there, then head to Subway and back to work. It's probably a good mile...
So I got to go shopping yesterday for my Brother-in-laws wife's baby shower that's tomorrow. They're having their second girl... Of course it's no secret that I originally wanted a girl after Jack (not that I'd trade Dylan for anything in the world). It was fun getting to shop for girly things again... My husband, Daniel, was talking to his mom on the...
The kids aren't the only crazy ones! Daniel and Louie decided to get rid of the beehive at Louie's house...alcohol was involved. lol The kids aren't the only crazy ones! Daniel and Louie decided to get rid of the beehive at Louie's house...alcohol was involved. lol ...

On the left is just a funny one of him falling asleep while we were camping in Pismo Beach. On the right we have the rug-burn he got on his forhead at school. Yup, he just decided to rub his forhead on the carpet during circle-time. *smh* On the left is just a funny one of him falling asleep while we were camping...
Running in the house, tripped over his brother and did a face plant into the coffee table. Took like 10 stitches to get his lip put back together. He has a joker-esque scar from it now. ...
Got his chin glued back together after hitting it on his window sill...climbing again. Got his chin glued back together after hitting it on his window sill...climbing again. ...

So I'm gonna start this blog with a walk down memory lane, complete with pictures of some of the adventures we've already gone through with our boys. Things like this happen to us alllll the time....

So I got the wacky idea to start a blog (thanks Katie Hornberger). Not sure what I'm going to write about but I'm sure it'll be funny! I have daily adventures in parenting so I'm sure it won't be hard to fill some space with my family's antics. Here goes nothing... So I got the wacky idea to start a blog (thanks Katie...
