Mommy's Bathtub

Since moving here in March the boys have LOVED taking a bath in mommy's jetted tub!

Yes 2 days in a row!!

I always go on blog-spree's. I don't post for 6 months then I post every day for a week. Werid yes, but I guess I'm just procrastinating from what I really should be doing! Reading and Reading and oh ya did I mention reading stuff that is NOT interesting. Yes I wanna be a nurse but mental health/psychiatric is not my forte! I can't seem to stay motivated. I did forget to mention that I got to see a brain. Yes a human brain in the OR. IT WAS AWESOME! I also got to be in a c-section, play with some babies, and many other awesome things..It was an awesome experience this past semester but it also left me even more confused of what speciality I want to be in. I guess I have another year to decide...Until then we will all know that it will not be mental health and I will continue to procratinate on the 100's of pages I have to read by July 11. And the boys and I will have fun with the computer...

Yes, I realize I’m a horrible Blogger..

I have been trying to think of reasons why I just can NOT seem to find time to blog and honestly there are a LOT.  Facebook being one of them because with it, everyone knows everything about me every day.  Honestly I let them but it’s kinda a scary thought.  This blog was originally started to keep all the family updated on the boys when we lived in Florida…Well now that the entire family is on Facebook and we live 3 hours away there isn’t much updating because they are very much a part of our lives.  The second reason is because with school I honestly have only found time to spend with the boys when I’m not reading.  Never thought my brain could handle as much as it has been given in the past year.  It’s still a scary thought that I will be responsible for someones life!  CRAZY.  We get the summer off minus 2 weeks in July but I have just recently landed an awesome opportunity to gain lots of experience so off to work I go in a paid internship.  Yes I said paid.  Momma is finally gonna get paid something and not paying for it!  Really it’s not much but it’s something that mommy hasn’t done in years!!  Yes I said I haven’t had a job in years!  Kinda crazy between being a stay at home mommy for 2 years working on my business degree then going to nursing school..I’m really ready just to have a normal job and a paycheck!!  And I’m sure Beau is too!!  =]  Let’s see what else…Oh ya I’ve been horrible about taking pictures.  Only during the major events do I take my camera..All the other times it’s usually on my iPhone that now has a cracked screen that I’m desperately asking everyone for my birthday in 2 weeks to donate to the fund!!  And speaking of iPhones it wasn’t me that broke it..It was Braeden and I only had my cover off for 48 hours while my husband has never had a cover and mine 48 hours and broken..ANNOYING!  Ok anyways can someone tell me what my kids obsession is with playing games on the phone.  If you ever want kids to behave just give them the iPhone..seriously in restaurants they are awesome!  They got Nintendo DS’s for their birthday and by the time we have to keep up with those dag-gome stylus pen things it’s a full time job!  And we loose games because some genius decided to make a kids game with the smallest possible disk to put in there.  But anyways is 4 too young for a iTouch..HAHA JOKE!!  Maybe 5..Not really I didn’t win the lottery so I guess I will just have to let them play on my phone and run the risk of it falling.  AND I guess you will NEVER see my phone without a cover again.  So yes random and yes like 10 posts in 1 day that’s my style but hopefully it will get a little better.  Seriously the boys birthday in June..Really!!

Summer Fishing & Swimming

Well this family is NOT a very good fishing family.  The boys have begged and begged Beau and I to take them fishing.  Although I would LOVE to buy a boat, we decided just to go to the little pond…And really I wouldn’t buy a boat to go fishing!  Anyways within 2 minutes of being there Brennen’s line was so tangled and broken that he just walked around in the heat.  Braeden decided to try to catch a fish and caught my leg with the hook, not just once but twice.  Needless to say I decided fishing was NOT for mommy and that it can be a boy bonding time from now on!  Unless we are on a boat in the middle of water, I have something to drink, and it’s not 100 degrees outside!!  =]

 

We have also loved going swimming all summer.  The first time we went this year Brennen stepped on a wasp.  Needless to say they have fixed the wasp problem and I’m trying to teach the boys how to swim so we can jump off that BIG diving board!

Happy 1st Birthday Av

I still can NOT believe Av is already 1!  It’s hard enough for me to imagine my kids are 4!  Anyways we made a flying trip (only 2 hours late) to her birthday because daddy’s jeep broke so we were car shopping.  Who knew it took 6 hours to buy a pick-up.  Yes 6 HOURS!  It was crazy.  Well daddy is happy, we made it to Av’s birthday and we got to have an awesome time at the Jump Around!!

Take me out to the ball game…

The boys are officially old enough to play baseball!!  It took a couple of games to get coach-pitch batting down but they did AMAZING!  Towards the end of the season they were hitting the ball every time and understood the concept of the game much better!  Can’t wait till next year.  It was amazing to watch how much they could improve just in a weeks time!!

New House

We moved in March and have loved every second of it.  We moved outside of town into a much larger house and new school district for the boys to start school.  We have much more room with 4 bedrooms, which we get to use one as a playroom, and office and even a swimming pool in my bathroom!  (AKA Jetted tub!)  Much more pictures to come after we moved in.  This is just a sneak peak and are pictures from the rental site!!

Happy 4th Birthday Braeden & Brennen

Did I really just type 4??  Yes 4 years have passed and the boys birthdays just get more fun!  This year we had their birthday party at PrimeTime here in town.  We originally wanted a sports-themed party, but once we got booked at PrimeTime it was all under the sea.  So we went with sports-filled cupcakes for school and I made a octopus and shark for the party!  I have to say I just LOVE making their birthday cakes each year.  I didn’t make them last year since we were living with dad but I really enjoyed getting back into it even if half my decorating things were packed up and ready to move to the new house!  We had a great time and had a great turn out.  It is so awesome being surrounded by family and friends!  I love living in Texas again!!

Yummmyyy...

I decided to make cupcakes for the school Valentines party tomorrow! It was great fun and the boys even helped some between nap, playing outside, helping daddy clean out my car..YA it took me FOREVER to get these done!

Valentine's Day!

Mommy was determined NOT to wait until the last minute to get Valentines ready for school. With a week of snow and sitting around I started getting things together and mom helped me put them together this weekend.

Playing with the Cricut that we never get to get out!!

A Whole Week...

Of nothing but snow and ice! This might be a normal occurrence if we lived in the mountains, but in West Texas for the entire town to shut down for a week!! By day 6 of staying in the house we were all going a little bonkers! We made a few slow trips to the grocery store to get some essentials and to just get out!! Daddy even helped the boys build a snowman!!



At one point the boys even raided mommy's closet and came out with this!! Much to daddy's dislike, they thought it was funny and even got pretty good at walking in heels. =]

Snow day...Take 2

Since when I start taking pictures I can't stop..We went to play in the snow again and more pictures! This time we put on the proper gear (Shhhh..That was thanks to mommy dressing us) and got to play a lot longer. Mommy even went outside and played and was attacked with the snowballs. So mistreated and outnumbered in this house!!

S
