My daughter

I have been trying to doing homework lately and this morning the girls wanted to watch Goonies so I took advantage of it and popped the movie in and sat at the table and study. Well Jessica walks up to me after a while and says "mommy can I build a house out of the pillows"? I say sure. After a while of stupid math problems I walk in the other room and Jessica says "mommy you like my house, I couldn't build a temple cuz I didn't have enough pillows so I built a house what do you think"? I thought it was so funny.



Yesterday in church we had a lesson on paying attention to the moment and to take some time to enjoy. I really liked the lesson and it has made me more aware of how I am so busy and fail to take the time I should with my kids.

Birthday Surprise

My Birthday Surprise!



Jake surprised me with opening tickets to the laugh factory in Long Beach. People like Dane Cook, Jaime Kennedy, Jon Leavitz where some that where suppose to be there. Anyways we got to have balcony seats with free appetizers, dessert and drinks. It was really fun, Jake and I never go out anymore so this was a treat.

Some of the people that where suppose to perform where not there so I got a little upset because Jake paid a lot of money because specific comedians where going to be there. I wrote a letter to the manager and he gave us VIP tickets to go again and apologized.

Peace and Quiet

Last night I was trying to study for my math test and the kids where just everywhere. Finally Jake and I got them settled down in their beds. After prayer,story,water and hugs and kisses they finally fell asleep.

PEACE AND QUIET!

Homework

Doing homework is always fun at our house. It always ends up in a fight...lol Kaelyn loves to do what ever big sister is doing, and she does not take no for an answer. Today Jessica had to color for homework and Kealyn wanted to join. so I found scratch paper and Kaelyn went to town.

They where so proud of their work.






The joys of having children, I'm sure it will be an adventure when Natalia gets older.

Big Bear

Last weekend we all went up to Big Bear with some friends. It was so nice to just get away and relax. Well not really relax the babies where not feeling too well and no one really got any sleep, but it was still a really great weekend. The view from the back porch was amazing.

The weather was just perfect for wearing a sweat shirt, and it was nice to pig out on what ever I wanted. Of course I was regretted it later but I still enjoyed every bite. :) It was really nice Jake and Wes did a lot of cooking while the girls got to hang out.

We got to go on the Alpine slides, and the kids loved it. I didn't get any pictures but if you ever go to Big Bear you have to try it. Just use your breaks..lol We also got to do a bit of shopping.

My girls had such a great time. They had a great time playing with Kohl. And little Talia had a playmate to, her little buddy (Logan) was born a week before her. It was neat to see these two little guys playing with eachother. They actually where really well behaved. Sorry I sound so amazed but Jessica and Kaelyn have been fighting so much lately. It has been hard for me.

All in all I got to meet some really great people and have a nice get away.

THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT

This was the song that my father and I danced to at my wedding......

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.

Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.

Lovely ... Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'Cause I love you ... Just the way you look tonight.

Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm,
Just the way you look to-night.

Playing Dress up....

Jake and I where in the other room trying to set our new vanity in the bathroom when all of a sudden I hear "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOM" "COME HERE, I WANNA SHOW U SOMETHING" So I walk to Jessica's bedroom to see what is going on. Jessica proceeds to tell me that she dressed Kaelyn and Natalia so we can go to the park. "They look great MOMMA"

Both girls are dressed alright. Natalia is wearing a Hooter's shirt that their Uncle Brandon bought them from Texas with a Pair of Dora underwear on her head and Kaelyn has a 18 month old top on with the bottoms on her head. Needless to say I hope that my daughter does not get into fasion because we will be in trouble.
