Thoughtful Thursday

2009-03-19T08:37:00.000-07:00

So what will you do today? I challenge you to do something, anything thoughtful and totally unexpected. Since I've been sick and pretty much on house arrest, per the main man's instructions; I've been doing a lot of blog reading. I've read so many stories of families that are being torn apart by various ailments. One story in particular has tugged at my heart strings. Cora's story is so hard to process. It amazes me how a family can remain so positive in the midst of so much heartache. Hug your kids a little tighter today just cause you can, and don't forget that thoughtful act.

Boy Have I Been Sick! and Very First Give-away!

2009-03-16T15:27:00.000-07:00

I've been so sick that I haven't done much more that lay on the couch for the last 3 weeks. I am feeling much better now though. Its amazing what the right antibiotics and cough syrup can do for you. We have a busy week ahead of us though. Starting tomorrow with St. Patrick's Day! I don't know why but I've always loved that holiday. It will be our first day back to mile cat since I got sick so it will be great to see our friends again. Then Sunday happens to be a very special day. My Baby Turns 4! I can't believe that she's 4 already. She's so eager to grow up too. She is constantly stealing my lip gloss and insists that she wear a dress every day. Where does the time go. I took some pictures of her roller skating this weekend.

A few months ago when I found out that the "Mothers Cookies" company had closed their doors I was so sad because we love their frosted animal cookies. I remember getting them when I was a kid and my kids love them too so it was very sad to see that they would no longer be on the shelves. But Nabisco has attempted to recreate them and well they aren't exactly the same they are very close in taste and texture. Check your local grocery store for them.

Last but not least I have been meaning to do a give away to "hopefully" boost my blog hits and comments. So here goes. In honor of Kylee's 4th birthday. I will be giving away a monogrammed Camera Strap cover. Like the ones pictured below. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment between now and Sunday at midnight and I will have Kylee draw the winner and I'll announce it on Monday! Good luck!

Last Post and I'm All Caught Up!

2009-02-15T18:26:00.000-08:00

I snapped these today. Kylee looked so Cute playing with her Barbie's. She has really gotten into them lately and Emma wanted a picture with the flower that her daddy got her for Valentines day. And yes Corinna that is one of your slip dresses that Emma is wearing. They still wear them all the time. Oh and Kylee and Emma got their hair cut yesterday too.

Emma's New Tooth.

2009-02-15T18:10:00.000-08:00

Last Saturday I was brushing Emma's teeth and I noticed that there was a hole in one. I figured that she somehow had lost a filling so I made an appointment with the dentist and took her in on Tuesday. Wow! What an ordeal that turned out to be. It wasn't a missing filling; she had at some point fallen and broke the tooth and it had rotted. So they had to do a crown. She wouldn't sit still and I had Kylee with me so I had to go out to the waiting room. As soon as I walked out the door Em went into total freak out mode so I called my MIL and she came and sat with Kylee in the waiting room so that I could be with Emma. They ended up having to put her in the little papoose thing. Oh it was horrible. She is doing much better now though. She let me take these pictures of what she calls her new "sparkle" tooth.

Why Oh Why Do They Do These Things??

2009-02-15T18:00:00.000-08:00

A few months back I bought the girls these really cute dressers and a shelf that were used but just needed a coat of paint to make them perfect to match the girls bed. Well I was making dinner the other day and Rick and I hear this horrifying crash in the girls room. We go flying in there to find this.

Emma took it upon herself to climb the shelf and put money in her piggy bank with out asking mom for help. Now mind you I explained several times what would happen if they climbed it. But you know Emma she doesn't believe a word that comes out of my mouth. The white piggy bank is Cassi's which as you can see is completely busted. The pink one is Kylee's and you can't see in the picture but its missing the the legs on the left side. Emma's Piggy was the only one to survive the fall. Imagine that. So as punishment she had to take money out of her piggy and buy her sisters both new banks. Luckily we were able to find the exact ones that they had before. So all is right with the world. Oh and please please please ignore all the other junk on the floor in this picture, its the kids room so its always thrashed.

Happy Valentines Day!

2009-02-15T17:45:00.001-08:00

Happy Valentines Day! We did Cassi's Party, which was a ton of fun! I made Mrs. Shuck this awesome Treat that looked like a sundae but was made of M&M's and Salt water taffy. They turned out so cute so we made one for our friend Katrina too.

The View

2009-02-15T17:41:00.000-08:00

When I stepped outside of Cassi's classroom on Friday I looked across the yard and I could actually see the mountains! I think it's been months since I've seen that view. So I loaded the girls up and took them up to my favorite "thinking" spot. The mountains looked gorgeous from there.

Sportsman Show.

2009-02-15T17:35:00.000-08:00

Last weekend was the annual Sportsman and RV show. We go every year and the kids always have a blast. The girls get to fish in a big swimming pool. lol... We always see all kinds of stuff unfortunately this year rick was manning the camera so the shots of the girls with their fish didn't come out but I did get some other shots of the day.

Kylee and the Jackalope

Emma was so excited about her fish

Kylee and Belle

2009-02-15T17:28:00.000-08:00

Kylee got Baby Belle from Disneyland. She LOVES this doll and we took these pictures the other day so I though I'd post them for you. She's also wearing her princess dress that Nana Valerie got her for Christmas.

Disneyland with Uncle Ray

2009-02-15T15:31:00.000-08:00

My uncle Ray lives in Colorado and we see him every few years. Well he called and said that he and his family were going to be staying at the Disneyland hotel for a week and since we hadn't seen him in about 4 years the girls and I made a trip to see them. When we got there he already had our tickets for Disneyland. I hadn't planned on going into the park because we had just gone a couple weeks before but there was no way I could turn down his generosity. It was raining cats and dogs but we got some ponchos and the girls got to ride the monorail into the park and they had a blast! Emma and Kylee talked Uncle Ray into carrying them through the park. lol...I got to Visit with Sharon who is the sweetest lady I've ever met. Very down-to-earth and easy to talk to. Their daughters Toni and Caroline are Beautiful inside and out. It was such a wonderful visit. We spent half the day in the park and then we went back to the hotel, where the kids swam in one of the heated pools lol...yes it was still raining. Then we ate dinner at Goofy's Kitchen. That was Awesome. The kids got pictures with all the characters and the food was amazing. We had a wonderful visit and I think Daddy was very happy to have us home when we came cruising in at midnight. Here are some pictures from our visit.

Words of a Mom

2009-01-21T16:39:00.001-08:00

I've been busy, busy, but this was hilarious so I had to post it. I swear I've heard my mom say at least half of these things. Don't forget to scroll down to the bottom and pause the music so you can hear the video.

My Camera has Failed Me.....

2009-01-17T15:19:00.001-08:00

Or shall I say I failed my camera. :( My MIL got the girls a ton; and I mean a TON of Hannah Montana hair glitter, makeup and a really cool braid thingy for Christmas so we decided to have a Hannah Montana party. I did all the girls hair and make up and glittered every available portion of their skin. Then I took them to a beautiful spot for some promised pictures. I was so excited that I came straight home to upload them to the computer. I am so disappointed with the pictures. They are blurry and unfocused. Urgh! I hate when that happens. So I checked the lens; it was clean but upon further inspection of my custom settings I found the problem. They were all wrong. Don't ask me how they got that way. I'm sure it has something to do with mischievous little fingers that live in my house. It should be an easy fix except that its been so long since I set them that I can't remember what they were. So until I track down my field guide that I wrote my settings in this is what I have to offer. There are a few of Kylee with Grandpa from his last visit too.

Until Next Time!

People STINK!!

2009-01-07T14:06:00.000-08:00

My Mom has this Cat, his name is Tyson. He is Gorgeous! Solid Black with the greenest eyes you've ever seen. He is a Blast to play with too. Well I just got off the phone with my mom and yesterday he was bleeding and mom just thought he'd gotten into a tussle with another cat but she couldn't find a scratch on him and noticed that the blood was coming from his nose. So she's pretty sure that someone poisoned him. I'm pretty sure I know who did it too. Of course there is no proving it; but the people that live across the street can't stand my mom or any of us kids. Rick and I made the mistake of parking in front of their house one day because there was no where else our "monster truck" would fit. We were in the house for all of 5 minutes and I happened to glance outside and one of the neighbors is looking in the back of the truck and the lady is looking in the windows. umm...rude.... ok now that's just annoying and rude but they are always calling down to the park office and filing false complaints on my mom and once they trapped my sisters dog and kept him in a cage all day and the next morning. All the while we are walking the whole park calling for him. Then a couple weeks later he disappeared all together. kinda fishy, huh? Anyway the point of this post....Pray for Tyson Please!! He's such a great cat and it stinks that someone would hurt him like this.

Emma with Tyson last week.

Happy New Year!!!!

2009-01-07T13:39:00.000-08:00

Happy New Years Guys!!!

We were all asleep by midnight but we did go to the snow on New Years day. We had a Blast!! The girls were so excited. Daddy even bought them a new sled for the trip. It took a while but Emma got the hang of sliding down the slope on the sled and even Rick went down a couple times.

Cassi and Emma Were Making Goofy Faces.

Disneyland

2009-01-07T13:12:00.000-08:00

OMG!!! We had SO much fun but were SO happy to come home. lol... We got there when the park opened at 8am, Got our tickets and a stroller and headed into the park. We hit Finding Nemo, The Rocket ride where you spin up in the air. Alice in Wonderland, The Tea Cup ride, Its a Small World and Toon Town all before lunch. And the park really wasn't all that busy. We honestly didn't spend more than 5 minutes in line until...... About two o'clock the park imploded with people. We could barely walk down any of the paths. We were able to get to the restaurant we wanted to eat at finally and had a yummy lunch. If you get the chance when your there check out The French Quarter. They have the best chowder ever and they serve it in sourdough bread bowls. YUM!!! After lunch we tried to get on Pirates of the Caribbean....yeah right the line was wrapped clear down the street. The same with the haunted mansion. So we went to the Tiki Room. Its always a hit. The girls love the singing birds. Emma talked to the birds most of the way through it. She wanted to take one home. After the Tiki Room we tried a few different things but it was just too busy so we headed back to Toon Town and that place was even more packed than the rest of the parks so we got the girls their hats and rode the carousel, and on the way out we stopped and got the girls the cutest stuffed princess dolls and hit my favorite candy shop. Then we headed home. We were there by 7:30. Had some good ol' Taco Bell and off to bed it was for all of us. All thing considered it was a pretty great day.

Here are some of the shots I got while we were there.

This is Rick telling the Queen from Alice in Wonderland to take Cassi!

My dear friend Michele of Pitter Pat Princess made this top for Kylee.Thanks Michele it turned out perfect.If you'd like to check out Michele's work click on the picture.

Emma's 5th Birthday

2009-01-07T12:39:00.000-08:00

Emma Turned 5 on the 17th. I can't believe she's 5. Time sure does fly doesn't it. She's grown so much in the last year it amazes me. She's always been articulate but I swear she's learned at least 100 new words this year. Some more choice than others. lol.. She's grown about 4 inches and gained about 6lbs. But what impresses me most about this kid is the fact that she is hands down the best big sister I've ever seen. She is so good to Kylee. Loving and affectionate and way overprotective. That's my girl. We had some much planned for her birthday. We were supposed to go out to lunch. Go to Nana Valerie's work for a quick visit. Go shopping for a new jogging suit for the Birthday Girl. Bake and decorate a Barbie cake, and sing and open presents with Daddy that night. But...at 3 am Kylee woke up with the stomach flu, followed shortly by Cassi in the same boat. So all of our fun for the day was canceled. Now did Emma cry and whine? Nope she helped me take care of her sisters. She brought towels and blankets and was the best helper mommy could ever have asked for. I did order Emma's favorite food from her favorite restaurant and had it delivered, and we did make her cake and sing. She loved her Gifts. Daddy got her a all terrain tricycle with big huge wheels and I got her a custom remote control car from Ridemakerz. She is also going to Disneyland the day after Christmas to celebrate her Big Birthday.

Christmas with the Spoiled Royal Girls

2009-01-07T10:37:00.000-08:00

Wow! It has been a long time since I've had time to sit down and update. I thought that it would be cool to make all of our Christmas gifts this year. I'm pleading temporary insanity! Because I was just plain old nuts for doing that. I worked right up to the day of Christmas. I will never do that again. All that work coupled with the fact that I was sick made for a pretty miserable holiday. One plus side Rick bought me gifts this year. He never does that. He got me a real pair of Uggs. So I can get rid of my Costco knockoffs. 2 sets of very comfy pj's and some kick around shorts. The girls of course made out like bandits. They got all kinds of cool stuff. Cassi got the Moon Sand she's been dying for. That stuff is a Huge mess; and did you know that it will eat the finish off of wood surfaces? It will! And it did! Cassi got some on our wood floors and when I went to sweep it up it was stuck to the floor. So I got out a rag and proceeded to try and scrape it off the floor. To my horror the finish came up with the moon sand! Oh; I could have died. Other than that the girls got some pretty fun toys. Emma got roller skates. That was a riot! Only after she ate it a few times did she decide that maybe it would be a good idea to wear the knee and elbow pads that came with the skates. lol... Kylee got a Disney Princess 3 wheel scooter. She loves it! It even came with a basket to hold the hand made dolly I made her. Then Rick opened his present from the girls. They got him a Camo print Carhartt jacket. Which he needed desperately. His other one is getting really gross.

All and all Christmas was successful. Rick and I made Christmas dinner and after I cleaned up the girls and I went to my moms to exchange gifts but mostly to see my grandparents who had come to visit. We only see them a couple times a year so its always exciting to see them. My grandma Kay is the one who inspired my love of sewing. She's amazing! You should see some of the stuff she's made! Grandpa's always quiet but I know that he likes to just sit back and take it all in. I have to say this Christmas was one of the best visits I've had with them. Everyone else went home before they got there so I actually had my grandparents and my mom all to myself (well...and the kids too. but you know what I mean). That never happens! So it was an awesome visit. My mom gave me a beautiful necklace, Its a silver chain with a puffed heart pendant. But the cool part is that the heart jingles; and it came with a sweet poem explaining that every time it jingles it is to remind me how much she loves me. which made me tear up a bit. I don't think she has a clue how much I love her; and how blessed I feel that she is my mom.

Here are some pictures of all the festivities!

Outdoor Decorations

Lit tree...yes it was so lopsided we had to tie it to the wall.
Can you tell Daddy just grabbed the first tree he saw.

Christmas Eve. Note Cherish is at the top of the tree ready to head home to Comet.

Christmas Morning.

Please forgive the Bed head on the Munchkins. lol...

Kylee had to change into something more princess like to model her crown and jewels. Cause you know princess's don't wear pants. They only wear dresses.

Kylee and Chloe (the doll I made her) in her tent that Nana Valerie Got her.She has slept in it every night since Christmas Eve.

My Spin on Elf on the Shelf...

2008-12-08T22:42:00.000-08:00

I saw this cool thing called Elf on the Shelf about a week ago on AGD. I Loved the Concept of it and you all know that if it even has a remote chance of making my kids behave, I'm all over it. So I went hunting...I called all the local stores that might have it. None did. So online it had to be. I checked several online sites and the cheapest I found it... thirty bucks!!! Now there is no way that the Main Man is going to let me spend thirty dollars on an Elf. Can you picture his eyes bugging out of his head?? lol... So this is Cherish(which I paid $5 for at vons )... Cherish is Comets wife and Santa sent her to our house to keep and eye on these kiddo's. Every night she goes home to report to the Big Man and then heads back to us for the day. The girls are Eating her up!! Every time Kylee starts to do something she's not supposed to I hear her say "oh no....cherry(cherish) will see me" and she stops!!! How great is that?!?! Too bad she can't live with us forever.

Emma's New Hat

2008-12-08T22:36:00.000-08:00

Emma got a Hat at Targets Black Friday Sale. She wore it once and it fell apart. When we tried to return it target wouldn't let us get our money back so we got another one. That one fell apart too. So this time we got a different style. Lets hope we have better luck with this one and shame on Target for not standing by their Customers. Lord knows I spend enough money there. Anyway.....Take the High Road Jessica, Its better to just let it go. So here are some pictures of Emma in her cool new hat. Like the one she saw Uncle DJ wear (she told me that when she picked it out) .

Christmas Fun

2008-12-08T22:15:00.000-08:00

Tonight we decorated the Christmas tree, and put out the rest of the decorations. I have to finish the kids stockings tonight then I'll be able to post them. The kids had a blast. I let them make pizza's for dinner. Which is always a hit. Then they scarfed them down and were tearing into my boxes of decorations. lol...I had to fix some of the decorations after they went to bed because 95% of them were on the bottom 2 feet of the tree. We even got the the Main Man involved. Didn't last long but hey progress is progress.

Bye Bye Ivy....

2008-12-08T22:09:00.000-08:00

Well she just became too much to handle. Our Beloved dog now has a new home. It has become impossible to keep her in the yard. We even Completely enclosed the backyard and she broke right through the lattice we put. Jumped fences higher than we ever thought possible. We caught her across the street stalking some little pomeranian puppies and we knew she had to go. Luckily our neighbors mom was able to take her. I'll miss my sweet dog that used to love to sleep on my porch. :(

I'm so Mad!!

2008-12-05T10:44:00.000-08:00

Ok. I'm so mad, I probably have steam coming out of my ears. About 2 weeks ago a girl contacted me about making a santa hat for her dog. So we decided that she would meet me at my house at 9 am so that I could measure her dog for the hat. The day came and we waited. 10:30 came and I had to leave, so we left and when we got back I had 3 messages from her apologising, explaining that she had overslept. Ok no problem we set up another time a week ago she calls when she was supposed to be here saying that needed directions. So I finally get my measurements and told her she could pick it up at 9 am today. She calls yesterday and asked if I could make a cape to match it. I stayed up late last night to make it and here I sit this morning its now 10:53 and she's not answering her phone and hasn't come by. Anyone want a super cute santa hat and cape?? E-mail me here. At this point that lady can stuff it. Here are pictures. Please ignore the scruffy mutt that its on. Of course the only dog I could find that it would fit is all mangy looking. Either way here it is.

More Emma!!!

2008-11-26T15:24:00.000-08:00

Last two Today I promise!!! I made this Tee for Emma this morning and she was gaga over it. I thought it turned out super cute too. The Bunny is even doing the "Rock On" sign with his fingers.

Emma Bounced on this thing for a good 15 Minutes! Then Screamed all the way to the car when I made her get off. lol....

Cassi the Indian Woman!!!!

2008-11-26T15:17:00.000-08:00

These are Cassi's two Best Friends Cody (left) and Aidan (right).

Today was Cassi's Thanksgiving production. She was an Indian woman, and let me just say they were all so cute!!!

Look how much my girls have grown. The top one is at last years production and the bottom was taken today.

Stocking Anyone??

2008-11-26T15:12:00.001-08:00

My Goofy Girls!

2008-11-26T15:04:00.000-08:00

Goofy Emma Again.

Cassi in her Wingland WildCats Tee! Please forgive her pouty look she had just got out of the dentist office about half an hour earlier.

Goofy Girl....Emma decided to hide from me while I returned some stuff to target yesterday. This is where I found her. Not that she was hard to find since she was giggling hysterically.

Ready...Set...Go!

2008-11-26T14:57:00.000-08:00

Kylee insisted that I take her picture as she ran as fast as she could down the side walk. She was in a silly mood.

The are Leaves everywhere!

2008-11-26T12:45:00.000-08:00

When I asked Emma what she was doing she said "shhh...I'm thinking"

Kylee made more of a mess than anything.

Emma Balancing Daddy's big Push Broom.

On Monday while Cassi was at school Emma, Kylee and I decided to sweep all the leaves out of the carport and off the driveway. The girls had a blast helping we sweep and jumping in the leaves and they were so cute trying to use mommy's broom. Of course when we got home from grocery shopping the driveway was covered in leaves again!

Kylee and the Cat.

2008-11-24T09:19:00.000-08:00

Saturday was Rick's softball tournament so the girls and I went and when we got back they were bagging up the bottles and cans to take and cash in. Well, while her sisters were in the back Kylee convinced the neighbors cat to let her pet her. I couldn't resist, it was too pretty a picture not to post it.

Kylee the lunch meat snob!

2008-11-16T16:19:00.000-08:00

At 5 this morning Kylee was sitting on the counter enjoying some sister free mommy time as we do nearly every morning. Daddy had decided last week that he wanted bologna for his lunch meat this week. So I'm making the sandwich and all of the sudden Kylee says "eww ma whats that pink stuff under the muenster?". Now she's got the fancy cheese down pat but she has no clue what bologna is?!?! She's got me wondering if I am doing my girls and injustice by denying them the experience of slimy lunch meat smashed between a little mayo and couple slices of white bread?

The Mailman brought Presents!!!

2008-11-16T16:06:00.001-08:00

Yesterday the mail man brought us presents. We got a much awaited package from my buddy Eileen of Frumplesmush*. She made Kylee this awesome knit shirt with the cutest reindeer applique on it. Kylee Loves it!!!! Thank you Eileen!!!

Red Ribbon Week

2008-11-13T19:45:00.000-08:00

Every week Kylee Emma and I go and Volunteer at Cassi's school for MileCat. Which is basically the kids walk laps and for every lap they get their card punched, after so many laps they get a cute little plastic foot to keep on a chain which is to symbolized each mile they've walked. Well for Red Ribbon Week (the old say no to drugs thing we did in school) some of the troops came out to see the kids. We had 4 marines and 3 Army Men. The marines walked around the school and talked to the kids and the Army Men brought 3 hummers for the kids to check out and they helped us mom's punch cards. The kids had a Blast! It was by far the best turn out we've had for mile cat all year. The kids got to climb all over the hummers. We even found out that you can cram 25 kids into a hummer and close the door. lol...Emma was one of the 25. After mile cat was over and all the other kids had gone back to class. Emma and Kylee got to really check out the hummers. They got a ride in one! It was awesome! The Army Guys were Great! Go ARMY!!!! Anyway here are some pictures from that day.

There is Emma and Kylee in the Middle of the Sea of 5th Graders with their buddies. All the 5th graders seem to love them.

That's it for now.

~Love you~

Let the Bombardment of Pictures Comense!

2008-11-13T19:35:00.000-08:00

Kylee and Emma's Best Halloween Monster Faces.

Ok so I was going through my pictures from Red Ribbon week and I realized that there are alot of pictures that most of the family didn't get to see so I'm going to start posting them little by little. Here are a few from Just before Halloween. I made Emma's outfit and Kylee and Cassi's Shirts. Cassi's is from our trip with her class to the pumpkin Patch.

Piggy Pals

2008-11-13T15:49:00.000-08:00

I'm a bit behind in my posting since we've been sick. The babies get sick and of course mommy can't get away from it, and then poor daddy gets it and he has to work. :(
Anyway Monday we started a chore chart for the girls. Since they were going to need a place to put all that green daddy's gonna be shellin' out we got piggy banks. These are a bit bigger than the little silver one I had at grandma and grandpa's when i was little. They are awfully cute thought. Cassi's is the polka dot one, Emmas is Purple since that's her Favorite color, and Kylee's well that speaks for itself. How could it not be Pink with a Jeweled Tiara. Oh and here is Ky begging for more money to put in hers.

Until next time.
Love n' Hugs!

We got a Surprise in the mailbox today. Emma got her November issue of "Playmate" Magazine (Thank You Papa Paul!). In it was a picture of Santa which emma spent the better part of an hour coloring. Now does my kid go for the traditional Santa getup? NO!!! LOL.... Santa's sportin' bright blue pants, a rainbow coat and a black hat.

Yesterday when I went to pick up Cassi she was beaming from ear to ear. She Ran as fast as her little legs would carry her to show me her spelling test. She worked so hard last week and all that hard work paid off because she got a 5 out of 5! So we Went and picked up Chinese food and she got to pick her own food this time. Boy can that kid put it away too. I swear she has a hollow leg. lol...she ate the whole two item combo! After Chinese we went to our favorite place in the world...Target. Cassi got a couple new long sleeve shirts since its finally gotten cold, and we bought our first holiday CD of the season Bing Crosby's White Christmas. As soon as I figure out how to add my music player to the bottom of the blog I'll have some tunes for you.
