SICKNESS... uuuggghhhh!!!

Well the flu bug or virus bug or something has hit our home. It has not been a pretty sight. Carson's asthma has not been doing to great. He has been coughing non-stop. He is doing the thing where he coughs so hard he throws up. And he doesn't quite make it to the bathroom either. I feel tired and worn out. It's awful. On lighter notes... So far Brandon is doing good in school. He is not causing trouble there just when he gets home. When I ask him how come he can be good at school but not here he says cause its too hard to be good for you mom. That really encouraged me let me tell you. God knows I need to be merciful... lol! But at least I don't have his teacher calling me saying how bad he is there. Then that would be like double trouble! So anyways... I guess that's enough rambling for one session! See ya'll later!

Today...

Well today has been quite a day. It was my bday and I don't like this getting older stuff. I am only 25 and some days feel 35. But I don't even know why I say that cause I don't even know what 35 feels like. I just feel older than 25 some days. I did have someone tell me awhile back that I looked 35. I had to take Brandon to the drs and they said his arm looks to be healing ok. they had talked about putting a new cast today but didn't cause the bone still wants to go in the wrong direction. But I have to take him back again next week. Craziness I tell you. So just keep him in your prayers. I did go to lunch with my mom and Kish. It was nice. Then came home did laundry took a nap (yes I said took a nap) Although not a very long one it was refreshing. Cooked dinner and did more laundry. My nieghbors came over and brought me some roses (I think they were from her garden cause they were those really pretty fresh looking ones.) and balloons. Very nice! Now I am just sitting on the computer rambling about nothing specific just to satisfy my friend (Thresa). I am going to try and prove that it is good for my mond to sit and type meaningless stuff to relieve my stress. LOL! I don't know how I will do that, but I will find a way! So I think I am off to bed now!!!

Ok...

So I have been busy and my computer was acting up. It wouldn't let me upload pics for a few days and then I didn't try until today. I am trying to do better with this blog. But it seems Facebook, my family and house hold pretty much keep me busy. Since I last updated on here I broke my toe and my son broke his arm. That within a weeks time. Tomorrow is my bday and guess what I get to do. Take my son to the drs for more xrays and exams of his arm. I am not looking forward to that. He told us tonight on the way home from church that he had a headache in his nose and could not go to the drs tomorrow. But in his bedtime prayers he asked God to help him not be sacred and for it not to hurt. So he knows that ven if he has a headache in his nose (whatever that is) he has to go. So say a little prayer for us. I don't know why I am just rambling on for no one really ever reads this I don't think. But I have to clear my head out some how. This seemed like a good outlet right now. But I better be off to bed! So G'nite everyone!

Pictures...

So I tried to upload some pics... But it had some error. Stupid computers. I will (hopefully) come back later and try again.

WOW...

Ok Ok... So I know it has been forever since I have posted anything. What can I say? Life has been busy. Since my last post Brandon has started school, Dallas has turned two and Carson... Well he's just Carson. It seems as if since Brandon is gone he has tried to take his place. But he also thinks he's the dad. I find him "correcting" Dallas all the time. So in stead of coming to get me and tell if Dallas is into something he yells at him or smacks him, not good. So then they both end up in trouble. It's just a little crazy around here. My sanity is in great danger. I feel like I will explode some days... LOL! I am not made for this getting up early stuff either. I would rather stay up late and sleep in. I don't like getting up at 5:20A.M. It's a rough life... LOL! J/K!!! Oh well... such is life!!! That's all I have to say for now since the whole time I have been writing this my kids have been fighting and I have toys behind me now cause I keep taking them away. Never a boring moment... OK I do get bored...

My boys... my life!!!

They grow so fast! I can'r believe Brandon is 5 and starting school in September. Carson is 3 and Dallas is 21 months! My baby is almost 2!!! WOW!!!

My dad 50...

My dad's 50th!!!

Girls night out...

Ok so this kinda starts out with my mother in law. I know that sounds weird but it did. We lived with my in laws for about 2 1/2 months the end of 2008. My mother in law told me that I needed a break and a girls night out for some fun without the kids. While I totally agreed I knew I was getting ready to move and needed to focus on that! Well In early March Belinda and Karina asked if I wanted to have a night out with them and Estella. I said yes and that it sounded fun. So I call my mother in law the next day and ask her to babysit, she agrees to watch all 3 kids. I am so excited. So here comes my big day. I had decided that once I got back I would just stay at my mother in laws over night so I didn't have to get the boys up. I go to Belinda's house and we sit and talk waiting for Karina. We were suppose to meet at 7 and drive to Irvine where Estella was going to meet us. We wait and wait and wait. Finally at 7:30 Karina calls and says she broke down and her battery is dead. So we think all we need to do is jump her, but she thinks she's out of gas. She's in a kinda bad area so Eli goes with us. We try jumping her car and nothing, Eli runs and gets gas, still nothing. We sat and tried everything we could think of. Finally decide to call a tow truck. So at 10pm we decide to stay in Pomona nad eat at El Torito. So that was my BIG girls night out!!!

The Gimmies....

I think my whole family has the gimmies. Its sort of like a disease I think. But for some reason they only ask one person. Its mom!!! Mom I'm hungry, gimmie something to eat, mom I'm thirsty, gimmie something to drink, Mom I'm bored, gimmie something to do, Hey babe (when he calls me that I know he wants something)where's my socks, Babe did you make more tea, Babe did you wash uniforms, (its 10pm and he has to get up at 12:45am) Babe I need this that and the other! I'm telling you I need someone to give me a massage or something! LOL!!! Well I had a ladies night out... Post on that next!

One of those days...

Ok... It has been ome of those days, actually weeks and we are only on Tuesday. It kinda started Friday night. Celeste was suppose to come over and spemd the night cause Jacob was out of town. She said she had a youth service to go to on Friday night and would be here late. OK I thought, she'll be here by 11 or 12 at the latest. Well 12 comes and goes, Sam goes to work and I'm still waiting for her. She calls and says she's on her way and gets there at 12:55am. We stayed up and talked until nearly 4am. I had a bday party in San Clemente the next day and had to be up to get ready. Started falling asleep on the way home and drank a monster. Then had to be up early for Sunday School don't get a nap on Sunday's. By Sunday night after church I was ready to fall in bed. Monday morning I was up and its almost 9... the kids are still asleep and I think, WOW... It's gonna be a good day. The kids never sleep this late. Well needless to say they were trouble all day. They smashed play-doh in the carpet, got wet utside and came inside dripping, poured milk on the floor and a bunch of other stuff. Tuesday came along and it went kinda like Monday. Not quite as bad, but close. The good thing is they went to bed early... although I may be speaking to soon for that.

Disneyland...

( Ok... I totally forgot that the last pic you upload goes first and so on. So these are backwards and I don't feel like fixing it)

This is at the end of the first day. They had no idea we had got a room with bunk beds. They were so excited!!!

Mommy and her boys!!!

Mater, Carson, Brandon and McQueen

Brandon was very mad at me for getting him on this ride. It was 70 degrees at 11:00am when we got on. His pants got wet and he was freezing all day!!! (or so he said)

We are on this one. Brandon in the orange hoodie and me to the right!

Winnie the Pooh's honey pots

OKAY...

I am so sorry its been sooooo long since I've been on! I have been a busy mommy. Trying to be really good about keeping everything DONE! With no laundry in the baskets (which I have figured is impossible). Trying to keep dishes done, floors swept and mopped and vacuuming. I tell ya its been busy busy busy. Then when I think I can do it in the evening I end up being too tired and justg fall in bed about the time Sam is getting up for work. Yuck! But now I figure the dishes are done and laundry is done (but not all folded). So the rest is waiting for me tomorrow!

Brandon and Dallas...

I can't believe how much Brandon and Dallas look alike. You can guess which is who. Although you can probably guess right away. I juat think it's cool how much they resemble each other.

{In case you couldn't figure it out the left is Dallas and right is Brandon!}

Somebody help me...

Ok... I really think I'm going to go insane. I don't know of anyone else with the same problems I have. But I have those couches that have the big pillows for the back cushions. My kids have this thing where they take down all the pillows and get blankets from anywhere... even if it means taking off the bedspreads and sheets. And I'm totally not kidding. They put them on the floor and pretend they're all kinds of things... from water to cars. I mean I guess its good that their having fun, but I get so mad I can't even tell you how it makes me feel. Then when I tell them to clean it up they just throw it on the bed and couch, then I have to go fix it. I've tried everything from time out to swatting them. But they don't care, they keep doing it. I HATE it! I wish I could make them stop!!! Anyone with a magic wand????

Sweet...

On Christmas day the boys kept asking me for cookies and brownies and stuff. I finally told that it was Christmas and probably the only day in their life when I would ever say this. I told them to eat whatever they wanted, but that they could not come crying to me later when the had a tummy ache. Well as you see there they are digging into a pan of brownies. And who knows what else they had. Well later that night Brandon was kinda whining that he didn't feel all that great. I told him he better be quiet or he was going to be in trouble. Well let me tell you, ever since then he is very careful not to eat too many sweets in one day. By the way Carson did not get sick because he didn't eat as much as Brandon did.

Really tired...

Well Brandon would not take a nap during the day. He refused to even lay down and read a book. It was evening time and I was trying to do a few things around the house before I went to bed. I have a wooden island type thing in my kitchen that I use for extra counter space. He took a pillow from the living room and went to sleep. I picked him up and took him to bed... although I was tempted to leave him there all night... LOL!!!

Finally...

Ok... Thresa tagged me awhile back and has been waiting for me to post the book deal. Here it is.
I was told to grab the closest book to me. Go to page 56 type the fifth line and the next two to five lines that follow. Pick five people who love books and who receive the bookworm award with honor. But the last part I will not do because I don't know five people who have blogs!

So here I go...

I have to be the center of the universe and none of If in his mind coming home means there's and irritating hell out of him and you'll see that love reflected back.

Ok... I don't even know if I did that right. But I tried. And it's the book "Proper care and feeding of Marriage." By Dr. Laura Schlessinger. And I guess you know why I'm reading it! Don't worry, I've made sure Sam knows he's reading it when I'm done... LOL!!!

Worms...

Ok... No we don't actually have worms... LOL!!! EEEEWWWWW!!!! As most of you know we just moved. Well the fact that I have a family and have to do all those duties. You know, the cleaning, cooking, laundry ect. Well the unpacking part has been going slow. Just the basics we needed to survive got unpacked and the rest has been getting done when I have a spare moment. Yeah right when is that? Well Saturday I decided that I was going to let the kids run wild and I was going to unpack boxes. I was in the garage and I was trying to get the boxes that we had tore down semi organized. I cleared a spot where they could fit. I started picking up the boxes and placing them in the spot. Then all the sudden this huge slimey worm came out of no where and was wiggiling and all that every where. I started screaming. The kids came running out and Brandon asked what was going on. I told him there was a big worm. Big boy that he is he says to wait until dad got home. So I covered it with a small box and when Sam got home I told him to go out in the gargae and pick up the box. When he did he flung the worm. He said what I don't see anything. I saw it on the shop vac. I said there it is, that worm was trying to get me. Sam thought that was hesterical. But I didn't, I wish I had taken a picture of it so all you girls could see how sick it was. Oh well I guess I'm the only girl and have to cause drama for the male kind... RIGHT???? LOL!!!

Head and shoulders knees and toes...

Ok... Well today {Sunday Feb. 8th} while we were getting ready for Sunday night church I heard one of the funniest things ever. For those who know Brenda Davis, we know she's hilarious. Well this is a story about her and Sunday school. Brandon just turned 5, and went to the next Sunday school class. The teachers are Dwyane and Brenda Davis. So we are getting ready for the PM service. Brandon says, "Look mom, Sis. Brenda showed me this today." He started singing head and shoulders knees and toes. But he didn't ever finish the song. So I said, "doesn't it end with "Clap your hands and praise Him"?" He said, "No, Sis Brenda says, "My bare lady." I said, "Are you sure its not "My fair lady"?" He said, "Nope, Sis Brenda says, "My bare lady." and that's what I have to say too!" So now I have a new way to sing that song! Wow the way kids interpret things! LOL!!!

Uncle Arlin Fun...

Uncle Arlin and Aunt Cindy posing for Brandon... LOL!!!

I have tons of pics coming too. Of course there will be Christmas pics and lots of others. Brandon got his own camera for Christmas and wants to put his pics on here. He takes CrAzY pics and some will be here soon. I hope all is going well with all you out there and I will be adding soon!

This is Brandon and Jacob feeding the deer. So cute. What a good uncle! =)

This is Carson and Celeste. Carson was scared at first to feed the deer. But finally with Celeste coaching him, he gave in and fed them. How cute! Good auntie she is! =)


Brandon and Carson feeding deer together. How tender. Not many pics like this! =)

Pumpkins...

Look at them. Aren't they so cute. The best I've ever seen. Oh you thought I was talking about the orange pumpkins? I was talking about the ones in the striped shirts... LOL!

My father-in-law grew these pumpkins at home for the boys. They are rinsing them here! How cute!!!

Dallas...

These pics are backwards... but I didn't feel like fixing them.

This is my Aunt Danita helping Dallas with his first pinata. How tender is that! He really didn't know what to think! LOL!!!

Dallas' cheese...

Dallas loves his string cheese. I like it cause he doesn't choke on it and he can't make that big of a mess. Or so I thought. He didn't choke, but he did make a mess... Lol!!! But he still gets his cheese!!!

Dallas' tounge...

Hector was feeding Dallas a lemon and was trying to get him to stick out his tounge... finally success! Lol!!!

Dallas and Friend...

Well for some reason niether baby Baltie or Dallas look very happy. But I love the pic none the less. They don't know it now, but their gonna be great pals.... Lol!!!

Busy, busy, busy.....

Hello all! I am so sorry that it has been awhile since I have posted anything. I have been so busy this month. As most of you know we were living with my parents for awhile. Well my parents sold their place and we found a place to move, but it won't be ready until sometime in November. So we had to move to Sam's parents for a few weeks. So I have been busy moving and all the fun stuff that comes with that! Well anyways, other than that everything is going great! The kids are well and I should have some more pics soon! I just need to download them off of my camera! So please come back soon! : )

Spider Man...

We went to Knotts Berry Farm a few months back! Brandon wanted to be Spider Man, so here he is! He was mad after he got it done and wanted to take it right off! I made him keep it on for a while after I paid that money... lol!!!

Lots a much...

A Couple of weeks ago I was playing with Carson! We were just messing around having fun. I told Carson that I loved him. I asked him, "Carson, do you lve mommy?" He said yes, so I asked him how much. He said, "I love you lots a much mommy!" I melted right there! I love when their like that!!! :)

Cute...

My mom has this little tiny gift bag that sings. My aunt made it for my mom sometime back. She put a music box in it and it has a wind up thing. Carson loves to listen to the music. My mom doesn't allow him to wind it by himself. So one day he brought it to me and climbed in my lap and fell asleep! If it were only that easy everyday!

Welcome October...

Well can you believe it's already October! I can't. It seems like just a few weeks ago we were celebrating Christmas and New Year's. And now here it is upon us again. It is so quickly approaching. One thing I can say is that I love the fall. Although it could cool off more than it is. Saturday the 4th was just perfect weather. We kept the windows and doors open all day! It was awesome! I hope And pray that it cools off and stays that way very soon! Well enjoy the fall because winter will be here before we know it!!!

Hiding...

This picture is about a year and a half ago. I used to have a dishwasher here. But it broke and we took it out. I hardly used it anyways (I would rather do them by hand) so we didn't buy another one. This was right after it broke. I had been looking everywhere for these boys. I could not find them. Then I heard giggling and this is what I found. I thought it was so cute! They used to take their cars and stuff in there and play!!!

My Pirates...

These are my little pirates who don't do anything! Lol!!!

Party pals...

This Is Hector and Lucinda with Brandon and Carson! They are our party friends... Lol!!! My mom has known Hector and his family for about 25 years. Before I was thought of... Lol! Him and Lucinda have been married for about 10 years. They have no kids yet!!! They love my kids and the kids love them!!!

Hector with Dallas! Dallas is actually starting to let Hector hold him and enjoy it! He likes the fact that we party and he gets to stay up late... Lol! J/K!!! We can talk and stay up late as long as there's coffee and chocolate chip cookies!!! Lol!!!

My little monsters...

This was Brandon's idea! He loves Billy Bob teeth, and all that silly stuff! He wanted one of these for all 3 of them! They are HUGE suckers behind the teeth! Dallas was almost gagging because it was so big!!! LOL!!!

Grandma and her boys...

Grandma and her boys Brandon and Carson! They love being with her. Even if its just riding to church, they don't care. They would rather go with her any day over me. But I guess that's the way it's suppose to be with grandparents. Most of the time she lets them go too! It's usually me that says no. Such a mean mom I know! But the best grandma ever!!!

Babies...

This is a pic of baby Baltie and Dallas. Little baby friends. Dallas wasn't too happy about it. But Baltie and Thresa had come over while we were moving to help us! I wanted a pic no matter if Dallas was crying or not! It turned out cute anyways! Look! There is hardly any size difference and they are six months apart!

Natalie and Breanna...

In May Sam and I went and seen Kim and her girls. Wow, could not believe how big they had gotten. They are like almost as tall as me. (not that I'm that tall...lol!) But this is down by a river we went to.

Baltie...

This is the only picture we got of the Lozano family on Dedication day! It is Baby Baltie and his daddy (Baltie) Wow do they look alike or what! And he is such a cute chubs (baby Baltie that is) He is even bigger now. But I never get updated pics! (thanks Thresa)

Dedication...

I love this picture. Dallas was actually looking! It is Bro Booker and Dallas on Dedication day. I wanted this pic so bad. It is great!

Dedication...

This is a picture of the baby dedication on Mother's Day! Maureen and I with our babies. We could not get a picture where everyone was looking. This is the only one where someone was not totally turned around!!! It's John, Isabella and Dallas!

Dallas eating ice cream...

This Dallas eating his first little ice cream cone. He loved it. It didn't even bother him that it was cold. He made a face at first and then just kept eating. He was being bad before, crying and wanting out, but as soon as I gave the ice cream to him he stopped.

This is after he was done. Well at least I said he was done. He was so mad when I took it away. But I was just glad I was going home. He was such a mess. I wiped him up with wipes, but he was still dirty. he had it everywhere. But he enjoyed it!!!

Dallas exhausted...

This is a pic of Dallas. He was so exhausted that he fell asleep by the washing machine. It was running and we were getting ready to leave. We were gonna go have lunch with Sam's mom. He laid down with two blankets and fell asleep... It was so cute!!!

This is a pic where you can kinda see that he is in the laundry area. The left is the washer and dryer, straight ahead is my detergent and the rest of my junk. The washer makes the floor vibrate when it runs. I guess he liked the feeling and crashed out!!!

Grandma Mary...

This is Brandon and his grandma Mary. (Sam's mom) She is the best grandma. The boys always look forward to going over to her house. She has TONS of toys, and they getting them ALL out. Or at least it seems that they get them ALL out to her and I... LOL!!!

This is Carson on the same day. We were at Souplantation having lunch. He thought because we picked her up from work that we were going to her house. But we had to break the news to him that no, we just came to have lunch, we have to go back home and get ready for church. (it was Wednesday) He was crushed he didn't get to go play with ALL the toys!!!

Papi and Brandon... What they do best...

Brandon and his Papi. This is what they do best. They are always on the computer together. They google games to play, look at pictures and just have a good time. But that is their spot. They are always sitting right there!

Dallas' first haircut...

This is Dallas at 12 1/2 months. I gave him his first haircut!

His hair was getting long. It was hanging over the back of his collar.

Couldn't take it anymore!!! lol!

This is after. He looks a lot better. I thought that he was going to cry while I was cutting it. But he actually laughed when I first started. Then when I got to the part where I needed his head down, he got really mad. But we got it done, and he looks much better!!!

Brandon...

This is a picture of Brandon in my cousins wedding. I think he looks so cute. But I guess I'm Partial cuz I'm his mom! lol! I just wonder what he'll look like in 10 years or even in his own wedding! But then again... I don't want to think about it. Time already flies as it is!

What to do sometimes...

Brandon has a wild sense of humor! That's an understatement! We were walking in the store a few weeks ago and there was an older man in a wheel chair. He had a long white beard and was kinda chubby. Brandon says real loud, "Mom you said it wasn't Christmas time, so why is Santa Claus here." Now I don't teach my kids there is a Santa and they know that everybody buys gifts and gives them out. But he's seen him in the malls, and got his picture taken just for fun. Well the man was NOT happy at all with what Brandon had said. I had to tell the man I was sorry! I felt so embarrassed and humiliated!
Another thing is Brandon learns quick. He gets on my dads computer a lot and plays little kids games online. But when my dad is at work he wants to play. But I have no idea what he plays or where my dad goes to get this stuff. So I always have to tell Brandon to wait until papi (my dad) gets home. One day he tells me to come here cause he needs help. So I go in the room and he has the google page pulled up. I don't even know how he got there. Then he wants me to type in "hang glider" cause that's the game he plays. He is totally insane!
Sometimes I don't know what to do with the stuff he comes up with... lol!!!

Oklahoma...

My Grandparents moved to Oklahoma in Nov. of 2006! Sam and I went to visit them in May of this year. This is a picture of them with our boys taken by the river. Carson was not very happy about taking this picture as you can see. But we took it anyways! lol! But they are moving back here before the end of the year!!!

Us...

This is a picture of Sam and I with Brandon and Carson at the beach. The baby {Dallas} was asleep in the stroller. I think it was a pretty background!

The 3 Wild Men...

This is a picture of (from left to right) Carson, Brandon and Jayden. (Jayden is my Aunt Danita's son) They love to play together and get in trouble together. No i'm just messing around. They have lots of fun and run and play until their ready to drop. They love being pyrites, cowboys, racecars, farmers... you name it they are it! And they are wild and crazy just like their moms!!! lol!

S'mores...

Ok I am 23 years old and had never had a s'more! Til one night I was bored so my mom and I went to the store to get a few things. (isn't that always how it begins...lol) So while we were there I decided to try and s'mores on the BBQ! You think I cooked those things? Yeah right... my dad did!

My dad was doing a fine job of making those s'mores. He just had to have a chared marshmellow!

I made the mistake of using paper towels. That thing was everywhere, (but NO that is not chocolate by my ear) But I'll tell you one thing it sure was yummy

My dad...

This is a picture of my dad with Brandon, Carson and Dallas. They loved getting rides on the dolly while we were moving. My dad didn't care how much we had to do. He let them have fun.

My CrAzY mom...

We were moving and my mom and I were getting bored. This is the REAL mom coming out... lol!

My little weirdos...

My kids were having fun making faces and I was taking a bunch if pictures. Brandon thought he was so cool because he was rolling his tounge (like a taco). He told me I had to take a picture of that!

This picture of Carson cracked me up. This is one of the funniest pictures I have of him. That face is just too weird not to share... lol!!!

Mr Handsome...

Carson is so crazy. He told me he looked cute and said that he needed to take a picture of himself. It is a toy camera... but he thought he took a cute picture of himself, so I took the picture.

My Joe Cool...

This picture was taken about 3 months ago. June 2008! It was burning HOT outside. Like 100 degrees. Brandon found this sweater and put it on with the glasses. I thought it was so cute!!!

Swimming...

We went swimming one Saturday afternoon for a few hours. My kids were so excited the whole day. They would not take a nap. Brandon was crying, he did not want to get out of the pool. He wanted to stay all night he said. So finally we made him get out. It was about 8:00 pm. I told him that he had to dry off before he went inside. I took this picture about 8:15 pm. Brandon was sacked out in this lawn chair.

Now Carson was being a little more stubborn than Brandon. He was making himself stay awake. He was doing everything in his power to stay awake. He was singing talking and just acting silly!

Then we went inside to get our things together so we could go home. I put him in some pajamas and gave him something to drink. Once you give Carson his sippy cup (which he calls gaga) he almost can't help but give it up and go to sleep. So this is him about 8:40 pm.

Then they slept all night without having to come in my bed. So I think I want to go swimming everyday so they will sleep like that. Lol!!!

It's a miracle...

It is a great miracle. I found out my boys could play together nicely. I was shocked almost fainted. They were sitting there actually being nice. I had to capture the moment. So that I can always remember. (And no I did not set them up like this. They did it on their own!)

Dallas Blake...

These are my 3 little cowboys! Carson never smiles! Don't know why!!!
I can't believe Dallas is waliking! This pic above was taken on 07-31-2008! Such a BIG boy! Lol!!! He is teething so I am so glad that these pics came out good! He's the GRUMPY man!!!

Well today is Monday, on Friday my little guy will be 1 year old. I really can't believe that. It is so amazing and sad at the same time. He is walking has been for about a week. He is so cute. Well at least I think so. Yes he is into everything, but nothing has changed. He's always been into everything. He is definitly the reason I am NOT having anymore kids. Everyone thinks I should have one more. But I really am trying to convince them that I should NOT!!! But my kids are the joy of my life. What would I do without them.

My family...

Well I have the best parents in the whole world. They have been married for 26 1/2 years. They did a great job raising us. {well they tried with me. Somethings are hopeless.} They just had my brother and I. After they had me they just knew they could not handle anymore. I was a handful. They have 3 grandchildren. Bet you can't guess who has 3 kids. My brother JAcob has been married a little over a year to the best sister-in-law. Celeste Smith {Vilhauer} They love my boys and they love them. Although my dad seems to be the talk of everything. My boys love their Papi!!! Brandon would rather live with them than here.

There have not been any girls born since Valerie. There are 5 boys. Brandon 4, Jayden 2, Carson 2, Baby Randy 9 months and Dallas 5 months. My aunt Danita had Jayden 5 weeks and 1 day before I had Carson. Little Randy and Tiffany had Baby Randy 4 months and 8 days before I had Dallas. I can't wait to see what it will be like when they all are walking and talking. Can you imagine 5 boys and imaginations. Oh wow!!!

My crazy boys...

My boys are crazy and keep me going. They have more toys than anyone I know. If you need some come on over. LOL!!! They love bringing them all out. I hate it. But it happens anyway. They love to sing and pretend they are Pastor Booker preaching. They love baptizing each other. They are a riot to watch sometimes. Brandon will come up with the fuuniest things and Carson just goes along with it. It is so cute and funny. They are my pride and joy!!!

The video is from about a year ago. But it is cute and funny. Brandon is crazy!!! I'm waiting for them to try this out on Dallas. Brandon wants Dallas to do things with them. But I try to tell him that he is to little and don't know how. So they sit by him and sing and play pat-a-cake with him. It is so cute.

Christmas and New Year's

I know that it is the middle of January. But {sad to say} I have not had a chance to take my Christmas stuff down. But we had a good Christmas and the kids {well Brandon and Carson} had tons of fun opening gifts and seeing how many I would let them open right then. We got in a car accident on Christmas so were not able to see Sam's family that day. But Christmas got extended a little bit and we had Christmas with them on the 29th. It was fun to have it last a little longer. New Year's Eve was fun. We just had some family come over and I made dinner. We had Pasta E Fagioli and Fettucinni Alfredo. We had some other stuff and a lot of fun. Valerie wanted some lemon bars {that she never ate} so about 10:30 pm or so we went to Sater Bros and bought the stuff. Then at 12:00am we just said Happy New Year and kept on talking and whatever we were doing. We didn't get to bed until about 3:00am. Boy was I ever tired the next day!!! Lol But I spent New Year's Day with my mom and {sister in law} Celeste. While our husbands went golfing. We had a good time!!!

Sam and Janelle

About me I am 23 and a happy wife and mom. I have a wonderful husband and 3 beautiful boys. {Or so I think} I can't believe how time flies by. I have been married for almost 6 1/2 years. My oldest son Brandon just turned 4 Carson is 2 and Dallas 5 months. God has truely blessed our family through the years.
