All I want for Christmath ith my two front teeth

my poor girl ith toothless! She'th having a thlight problem with her s's!

before:


after:

John's Incredible

gives incredible coupons!



We were there from 4:30 till about 8:00pm, for only $45! What a deal!

Isabella was so excited to see her good friend Makayla there, they had so much fun together!


They rode the train:


Played air hockey:








And yes, that is pink hair. Isabella has been asking me to dye her hair pink so instead I bought her an extension. She has worn it ever single day since I bought it, she LOVES it!



Her is a video of mr. Zach playing skee ball. He's not to good, but he sure is funny!


On our way out we checked out our ticket status and discovered that we had enough for a cool prize!

Good news

Zach is officially out OUT OOOUUUTTT of diapers! We used his last night time pull up on Monday night and so far so good. Hooray!

Earth day

I missed this post yesterday, darn it!

My husband and I try our darndest to be Earth friendly.

1. I have re-usable bags
2. Huge recycle bin, we fill it more often than our actual trash can
3. I buy containers for Isabella's lunch, we rarely use bags, she also HAD a re-usable bottle but she threw it away!
4. We bought all energy star appliances
5. Programmable thermostat
6. I have been using microfiber cloths for cleaning
7. I am a big fan of windo coverings, if it's hot they are all closed, if it's a cool day I let all the sunshine in!
8. I have signed up to have our junk mail stopped
9. The kids and I walk to school as often as the weather permits
10. I use my own coffee container and water bottles as often as possible

One thing that bothers me is at Isabella's school each kid gets a Styrofoam tray, why Styrofoam? Why not paper, like egg cartons?

I also would love it if I could do this: Recyclebank

Now if only Silver would stop eating the vegetables that I plant!

How are you helping to keep our Earth beautiful for the next generation?

apparently

I have cool obos. Zach says everything is cool and when I was getting dressed yesterday he comes in staring at me, and says "those are cool" I thought there could be no way she is talking about...you know...my boobs. So I asked him what he was talking about and she said "your obos".

Oh man, this kid keeps me on my toes!!

no matter how bad

my day was, it wasn't 1% as bad as a friends day was today.

Michaela

I put 2 contacts in one eye...but I can still see my children.
I spilled my coffee all over the floor...but I can ask my children to help me clean it up.
I didn't get to walk the kids to school...I can do it tomorrow.

Losing a child seems like the worst pain you could possibly go through, I imagine her looking at everything and thinking about her daughter and how much she misses her. Please pray for the Michel's family, please ask God to ease the pain in their hearts and for understanding and peace.

will you please

the best $10 I have ever spent!

So at our association garage sale about 6 months ago I saw this when I was driving around our neighborhood. I passed it by and thought...no...that couldn't be a tractor! I went and asked about it. The sellers wanted $10 and had no clue if it worked. We bought a charger for it and voila! It works, the kids LOVE it and fight over it constantly!

working on it


thinking about it


oh, hey I fixed it!


Here is a video of Zach on it. He is absolutely nuts, he knows how to make it slide, he knows how to do a wheelie. Crazy 3 year old!

I have been waiting for this for YEARS

A "new" song from No Doubt! I have been a No Doubt fanatic since I was 15, dang half of my life! I have seen them 4 or 5 times and I was stoked to hear they are preforming again, I tried to get tickets but I missed out on good ones and it's not worth going for crappy, expensive seats. I was so worried that they would never play together again and I wasn't a fan of Gwen alone. Too pop-ish for me.

Here is a clip of the new song, I'm not sure if the video will last long, I'm pretty sure it's illegally posted! Oh, and it's not new, it's a remake that's why I said "new".

trip photos

Trip photos! Sorry it took me so long, I've been a bit busy...I have no clue why though. lol

I LOVE the area where my family lives, the city is called Acampo, CA. Open land as far as the eye can see and I love that. We went when everything was in bloom, fields of wildflowers 4 feet high.




I love the streets, no signals! Where we live there are traffic signals every 1/2 mile so it takes forever to get anywhere!


Here are a few barn photos, I am a slightly obsessed with barns!




We visited old town Sacramento, so quaint!


We visited the capitol building, I was looking for Arnold so I could slug him for this new tax rate!





Isabella took this one:


Isabella and her cousin Lilyana:


Capitol gardens:




We found an abandoned train and I let the kids explore. Don't worry, it wasn't attached to an engine!


We visited Sutter's Fort





My favorite part was the family time, we spent lots of time visiting and relaxing with family.

here are my grandparents, my dad and his sister Karen.


Here are some of the cousins, I don't know what's going on with my face, luckily it's small.


And some of the great-grand children.


My brother Ryan and I goofing off.


Here is a photo of my grandma and I:


My cousin Dustin's little girl, she is just adorable, I want to eat her up!

I can finally give Zach a Mountain Dew without worrying about him spilling, awesome!!
