Look what I can do

Mason and I were just playing around while the boys were at school and he decided to surprise me with a new trick...




It was pretty quick trick but he is catching on really quick. Now he is pulling himself up on everything and tyring to walk around all the furniture.

Happy 7th Birthday

I can't believe that the twins are 7 years old now. How fast they grow up. Well we went to Grandma J and Grandpa Fred's house for the festivities. We took their bikes with us so they could play outside but the 4 wheelers seemed a bit more fun. Grandpa decided that they were big enough now that they could ride by them self. So they first had to gear up....

And the they were off!!!

They didn't even want to stop when it got dark.

After we got them off the 4 wheelers he got to open presents and have cake and ice cream.

$$$$ from Gram and Gramp for our trip to Disneyland in a couple of weeks

Star wars transformers is just what they wanted.

Mason was even getting in on the fun..

I am still alive...

Ok so since my blog is about all my BOYS...I get to spruce it all up with some girly touches ie..pink. I have been such a slacker. I'm kind of ashamed of myself that I haven't updated for a while so I thought I would give my new photo software a test drive. Ok all I did was just add in the pix into the cute blog header I found on the web but that is better then nothing. I am going to have some time off this coming week so hopefully I will first catch up on some much needed sleep then I will get to work and post some more updates....

Help Jonah

Hi everyone. I am putting this link on my blog to hopefully get some good exposure.

My really good friend Jessica whom I have known for about 10 years is in need of some help. Her son Jonah is a very special boy who has a couple of very RARE blood disorders that is really taking a tole on the family. Jessica is an amazing person. She would do anything for anyone in need. She is always putting someone else first no matter if it a family member, friend or just a stranger in need. I think it is about time that we put her and her family first for a bit, so I am coming to you to help spread the word. If you could place her blog link on your blogs I think we could get unimaginable results. I want to thank all you in advance for your support!!!!!

A Day at the Park

Ok I have been a Slacker!!!!

Well it has been a while since I have updated so I guess keep your hands and feet in the ride at all times!!!!

I just can't believe that March is gone. St. Patricks day came and went then the Easter Bunny stopped for a visit but he didn't mind that we didn't decorate for the occasion. I actually still have my Valentine's decor sprucing up the joint. I tried to get in to the mood for spring cleaning and I managed to get both bathrooms cleaned from top to bottom but I have just lost the spark. It really doesn't help that it is still snowing outside right now. Adam has been chompping at the bit to get the lawn thatched and ready for summer. We did get all the flower beads and my strawberry patch cleaned up I just really wish the sun would come out and let my flowers come out of shock.

Mason is really starting to get around. The other day Adam was teasing him and so I had to grab the camera and catch a few pix of him crawling around.

The Easter Bunny made a stop at the house and I think the kids were pretty excited. Kegan was the first one up that morning and Adam and I could hear him gasp and then run in and wake up Kaleb. They were both so excited..

Our HOA put on a great Easter egg hunt there were tons of kids!!! I really didn't realize how many new families have moved into the neighborhood. I hope that the HOA continues this tradition every year!!!.

It was pretty chilly and the wind was blowing pretty good as it always does, but kids has a great time!!! Just a week before the Easter egg hunt I wasn't sure if the snow would even be gone. The boys were having fun with their new sleds that Grandpa and Grandma Zick sent them from Oregon. We had looked everywhere for new sleds here but to to avail so we got them in the mail and just had to try them out.

Grandma Bonnie came down for a few days during Spring Break and we all had a great time. We took a to boys to the park and let them play for a while. It was nice to get out for a walk. Before we got to the park we stopped by our new neighbors house and let the boys play with thier golden retriever puppies. They are so cute. When they tried to talk us into getting one for the boys I promptly said that is why we do not have a fence. I really like the idea of just letting the boys go and play with the pups and that way I don't have to feed and clean up after them. I have a hard enough time keeping the kids fed and cleaned up. I have to admit though they are really cute!!!!

I really do LOVE my kids?!?!?!

Why didn't anyone ever tell me that raising kids is not all it is cracked up to be...I think that I have had one of the most challenging weeks yet. I love my kids to death don't get me wrong but I really wanted to just run away from life this last week. All of you that don't have kids in school you just wait... trying to deal with the different personalities of the teachers and their teaching styles is enuf to drive me to drink....I don't think it would be so bad if I just had one in school to break me in but with the both of them I just want to scream!!! My Mom has been such a support to me with all the encouragement that everything will all work out. I got a call tonight from a really good friend that well just made me feel LOVED. Even though I didn't get to talk to her, I just got to listen the message she left and let me say that I just started to cry. Even now several hours later every time I think about what she said I still am tearing up.
Here is my challenge to anyone that my find themselves reading this...If you ever get that feeling that you should check on someone, don't delay you just never know what a difference it can make in someones day!!!
