October 2nd

Sorry I haven't been on here as much. Life is so busy and each day just seems to blend in with the next. Last Saturday we had a baby shower for my sister. Good thing too because she went into pre-mature labor on Tuesday, luckily they were able to stop her contractions and put her on light bed rest.
Here are some pics from the shower.



























The same Day Riley went to a cub scout activity A water bottle rocket Derby. He almost didn't get to go but luckily his Brian's parents were able to take him. I am so glad they did because he won 4 1st place Ribbons for his water bottle rocket. He sewed %80 of the whole thing. I help a little. I think it turned out pretty darn good. He got an award for most creative, most artistic, a judges award and most extravagant. I am so proud for him. I am super sad I missed it, I know he must have been so excited.








The rest of this week has just been me trying to clean and clean and oh clean with a little bit of trying to get my house in order so when we go on our cruise things will be taken care of. Only 8 more days I can't believe it. Well I better get off my lazy butt and get some stuff done.

June 20th

Well its Friday I survived this week, I can't believe I still have my sanity. On Monday my niece came out to stay for the week. She is 5 so I had 4 kids this week. Luckily she is a huge helper and doens' talk back or whine. She had only two moments of home sickness and they she was very easy to comfort.I was very proud of her. Delaney had been fighting a fever over the weekend I thought it was her breaking her teeth in, but on Tuesday morning she woke up at 5 am with a terrible looking rash on her face and upper body. So the kids and I headed out to the doctors to get her checked out. Turns out she got Rosiola somehow. luckily the rash is the end of it and the next day she woke up just fine. She was a little fussy but not too bad. Tuesday night I forgot to shut or Garage door and some one came into our garage and stole Brian's laptop. I felt so awful, and stupid. So Wednesday was a pretty rough day, I was feeling terrible so in turn my negative vibes rubbed off on the kids and they were all acting up. So at 3 I decided to get them out of the house and head down to the Library for a cool Bug lab they had going on. The kids all got to hear and learn about bugs and how important they are even though they seem really icky. they even got to touch and hold the bugs if they wanted to, which to my surprise they did. They had just to name the ones I remember. A Madagascar hissing Coach roach, a huge Cricket, a couple walking stick bugs and a Millipede. There were a few more but I can't remember what they were. Then we went home and tried to keep cool. I think it got to about a 100 degrees. Thursday we got up and ate and headed out to pump it up and fun place for kids with jumpy houses and big inflatable slides. They had a blast and I had fun just watching them. Then the kids got a Happy meal and headed home to relax. then around 6, Brains uncle came by and dropped off a almost new washer and Dryer and fridge. So we got to work cleaning out the old fridge and trying to get the new one in. OH my god its a huge fridge Brian ended up having to cut a strip out of the counter top to make it fit int he place the old fridge was. So here it is Friday its 10 am the kids just had breakfast they are sitting down watching a quick movie I am goint to go exercise and then head of to a nice shower. to get my busy day started. WE have to clean the house get all megs clothes together and sorted, then go check Riley's summer school to see what class he is in, then head out of town with our first stop being my Friends carries so I can finally see baby Robbie, then to my dads work to visit and pick up some tickets, then to napa to drop off Meg and visit with my mom and sis, then to my cousin Suzy's house to show her house to use a Met tie, and then hopefully home before nine. haha I must be crazy. Well I am off.

May27th

Well May is almost coming to an end. what a crazy month. Yesterday was memorial day and I had a wonderful day. Actually the whole weekend was awesome. Friday Riley and his cub scout troop put flags on all the war veteran's grave markers. It was a great and humbling experience to say the least.
Saturday the family drove up to Sacramento for a family Birthday /BBQ.
Then on Sunday we drove out to Stockton to hang with our friend Malia,Adam and there adorable baby boy Devon. That was a lot of fun just kicking back talking laughing and having some great food. Monday we got up super early packed up the family + our neighbor Dean and headed out to Fairfield, Brian and Dean were going golfing with Kevin and his co-worker. Dawn and i hung out for a min at her house and then my mom called and convinced us to get the kids and come out to Napa,to BBq at my Grandma's house. When we got there my mom had a hair brain idea to go out to the golf course gets some golf carts and harass Brian and the guys. So of course we did we had to bring the extra golf balls. We knew they were going to be loosing a lot during there 18 holes of golf. We had two golf carts 3 adults and 5 kids you do the math. haha we looked so pretty crazy. After tearing up the golf course we went back and had fun at the park with the kids and cooking with my mom. We didn't end up getting home until after 10:30 last night. Then we woke up early again and Brian had a work meeting and I took number 1 to school I better get to cleaning the house and cooking lunches. whoo hoo good time with family and friends!!
