We try not to do too much since the kids are in school/daycare for many hours each day and I work so much. So Saturdays have consisted of swim lessons, grocery shopping, cooking, movies and playing. Sundays are church, playing, reading and maybe a movie.<br />

Saturday I let the kids make/decorate cookies. Ivan I think just really likes the icing, he is the type to decorate one, eat one. Elle I don't believe has eaten ONE, she just loves to decorate them. I finally used the cookie press my mom bought me. As kids, she always used hers, and her cookies were so pretty. If you do not have a cookie press, I suggest you buy one! I am going to be using mine more often when baking!<br />

Through my <a href="http://tribal-fitness.com/" target="_blank">gym</a>, I am in a paleo challenge. So far, so good. I was worried about my sweet tooth, but with paleo desserts, I am happy! I really have not craved sugar as I thought I would. I have had fun finding new recipes and buying different ingredients at the grocery store. Its an adventure and the kids like to help!
Saturday night, I made coconut chicken and Ivan could not stop eating it. He is such a picky eater, so this made for ONE HAPPY MOM!

I am very excited...I got lots of yard work completed this weekend. The backyard was a weed jungle. The front yard got mowed, leaf blown and looks fabulous again. I love the way my house looks when the yard it nice and tidy!<br />

One other thing excited me today, I finally got more space in my garage! I had my old HUGE TV in there trying to figure out a way to get rid of it. I had a garage sale weeks ago, put it out front with a FREE sign on it, no takers. Finally this past week I got smart, put an ad on Craigslist and it left its home after many many years. It was actually my dad and stepmoms TV back in the day, it was about 13-14 years old.

I kinda fell off the face of the earth.
I have been extra busy with work, kids, working out and taking care of all of lifes tasks. I really have missed writing and updating my blog. It is a great outlet. A lot happened last year and I can't wait for the things to come this year. I believe I grew alot last year and going in the right direction.
I started a dream job in July and love going to work everyday for the long hours I put in. I workout at a different gym, love everyone in the tribe! Kids are growing and they are learning so much and they continue to amaze me every minute of every day. I will be signing another years lease on my house, which I love! Its the perfect size for the three of us...plus two dogs and the outside cat.
Tonight I was looking for night stands on craigslist and came across some black shabby retro ones that I love! I have become OBSESSED with antique malls/markets. You can find the coolest stuff and the best prices! Anyways, on the ad for the night stands was this womans blog. I went to it and started reading/looking/aweing and found thisacross this song. It gave me chills, so I thought I would share it! Enjoy!<br />

We went a couple years ago and had a ball. This year was even better, the kids enjoyed it so much more! The first day we went to Disneyland and the park was EMPTY! The longest we ever waited in line was about TEN MINUTES. The very first ride we all went on was Snow White, we had never done this one and were told just before going that it was scary. Patrick and I knew our kids liked scary things, so we were not worried. Ivan sat with me and Patrick and Elle behind us. Ivan started crying from fright and Elle was as well. When we got off, Ivan was still whimpering but VERY worried about Elle. He kept telling her "It's okay Elle." He is such a good brother, always looking out for her and vice versa.<br />
<br />

Ivan fell in love with his first roller coaster. He rode that thing three times and the first time he was crying so hard he wanted to ride it again. Patrick thought he was scared, but he kept saying "AGAIN!" Here is the video of Ivan the second time around!<br />
<br />
Ivan melted my heart with how HAPPY he was. I love seeing my kids so happy. They are truly the best kids ever!.<br />
<br />
The next day we went to California Adventures and we saw TONS of characters there. Ivan was so tired from the day before that he slept pretty much the entire time we were in the park. Elle and I rode quite a few rides, I took her on the Tower of Terror. She was pretty frightened, it was cute. She will tell you she was scared too!<br />

This was definitely a birthday they will remember!

I have always been this way; I just love to laugh. Anything to keep me laughing is good. I was on <a href="http://pinterest.com/">Pinterest.com</a> the other morning and came across this...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgylZ7Wf8ByRJQNu1Av0jrftNO7_t-AUsEDdfhF5C4QGVwXvBEbqTeeG9CfJiVljsJ3AELepEzMCfx6VSPYXpu7Xh5wStN21Q5U7bKZ9NpN3r72UejYEPWZUJ1lrNtSyuuCH0ho4wZ9OrE/s1600/dingo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgylZ7Wf8ByRJQNu1Av0jrftNO7_t-AUsEDdfhF5C4QGVwXvBEbqTeeG9CfJiVljsJ3AELepEzMCfx6VSPYXpu7Xh5wStN21Q5U7bKZ9NpN3r72UejYEPWZUJ1lrNtSyuuCH0ho4wZ9OrE/s320/dingo.jpg" width="184" /></a></div>
I sent this photo to my work email and made it my desktop background. As I was doing this, I was chuckling. My coworkers asked why I was laughing, so I showed them. In my Australian accent, I played out the line! I was dying laughing, and they did not get why. So, I told them this line was from a movie, but at the time I could not name the movie. I asked around and we came up with the answer 'A Cry in the Dark' and then other movies have played off this line. Well, I also LOVE Seinfeld, and knew it came from there as well. Here is the clip...<br />

Every time I think of this photo, I laugh, it makes my day! Silly, I know!Family is Everythinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08076740404266592277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153025551749194457.post-32062343778696805252012-02-15T08:34:00.000-07:002012-02-22T08:58:07.177-07:00ValentinesI hope you had a great Valentine's Day! I did. Elle and Ivan had a Valentine's Day party at school, so a couple nights before I had them do their Valentines cards for their classmates. Ivan wanted to wait and have Patrick help him, so okay! Elle wanted me to help her. I started her first one, I gave her the list of names and asked her to pick a name to start with. She did not want to write the names, "I don't know how." So, I told her to write the first letter of the name she picked, I wrote in the rest. I then showed her how to fold the card, put the tattoo's inside and seal them with heart stickers. She was excited and ready to tackle the next name writing it out on her own! YIPEE! I love when she gets excited. <br />
<br />
We were talking about the boys in her class and which card she thought would be best out of the Barbie valentines she was giving. She picks a boys name and the card and says why she was giving him that particular one. She says to me, "mom, Caleb just gets me!" I had to ask her to repeat herself, I did not know if I heard her right! Are you kidding me?! She says, "Caleb just gets me mom." I then ask her what exactly that means. She then tells me, "he just hugs me and stuff!" I could not hold back the laughter, how does a FOUR year old know to say things like this? It blows me away, who has said this in front of her? So stinking cute. Enjoy the photos from Valentine card making!<br />

We also really love Christmas lights, so the two combined equals joy! We have gone with our friends Jodi and Jordan the past year or so and have a blast. This year Jordan wanted to do the Polar Slide, so the kids and I watched her go down. Elle and Ivan told me they really wanted to do it, so I told them "do you realize I can not go down with you. You have to go by yourself." Ivan shook his head that he understood and Elle told me she understood. So okay, Jordan wanted to go down again. Perfect, her and Elle could race and then Ivan and I could race. We got our tickets stand in line. Ivan was trying to cut in front of the kids ahead of us, he was really excited! I told the girls they were to go before Ivan and I, because I did not want Jordan to get stuck with Elle and then her not want to do it. What a nightmare that would be for Jordan. So, the girls go, Elle was a little skeptical, but went! Now Ivan and I are to go...did not happen. He freaked out when the workers asked him to get into the tube. So, him and I walked down the stairs and got our money back. I told him next year would be better. It was nice to see him willing to do it though. Until next year!<br />

I was so excited, that is really all I wanted. Especially since the kids and I are not going home for Christmas. We hung out on Thursday after picking her up from the airport, ran to Walmart and that was about it.<br />
<br />
Friday we went to the mall to shop and see Santa. The kids did not want to see him, so mom and I told them we were going and they had to come stand in line with us. It worked, they ended up getting excited and so we got a photo. <br />
<br />
Saturday I worked and mom had the kids help her with Christmas cookies. They had a great day, they were waiting for me when i got home. We went to dinner and then drove around looking at Christmas lights.<br />
<br />
We woke up Sunday, had Christmas and I ran to work. My brother, mom and
kids showed up at work which made my BDAY! Even though I had to work
and my mom left for home, I had a great day! I had a great weekend!!!
Thanks mom for coming down! I love you!<br />

This year was probably my hardest Thanksgiving though, I worked. I picked my kids up at 8am and we went to my brothers. I had planned to go out to breakfast(a nice breakfast) with my kids and brother but nothing was open. We ended up at McDonalds. Oh well...<br />
<br />
We always have fun no matter where we go. When the kids and I arrived at Eric's, they were excited to see him, but once I knocked on the door Ivan ran for the car screaming "Go home!!" I got him inside and he sat on the chair and wouldn't talk to Eric. Poor guy just wanted to go home. It breaks my heart hearing him say "Go home!" <br />
<br />
After breakfast, Eric took the kids to our grandparents house to have a fabulous Thanksgiving with the family. I about lost it as i was buckling the kids into his car. They looked so cute in their Thanksgiving outfits and the realization that I would not be spending a FAMILY holiday with them. <br />
<br />
I got to work and the girls were all talking about their Thanksgiving dinners with their families. The food that was made and how much fun they had with their families. I lost it, I had to go and collect myself and think about the things I am thankful for. My JOB! I am thankful to have a job. I opted to not have Thanksgiving off, so hopefully I get Christmas off! That is a more important holiday to me to spend with my kids. <br />
<br />
I know holidays will be hard, and I have to remember what is important right now. A job to be able to have the necessities to keep my family together!<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving! Now onto Christmas!!!Family is Everythinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08076740404266592277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153025551749194457.post-34592447495118116362011-11-12T08:28:00.001-07:002011-11-12T11:23:59.279-07:00Two in a half comparisionWOW, how time has flown.

The WOD(workout of the day) was "Amazing Grace" where you have to do 30 Clean and Jerks for time at a prescribed weight. Most have to scale their weights, but I did mine Rx! So, the prescribed weight was 95 pounds. It took me 5 minutes and 22 seconds to complete 30 Clean and Jerks. I was pretty proud of myself! Everyone from our gym(<a href="http://www.crossfitbattlefit.com/">CrossFit BattleFit</a>)as well as Maricopa CrossFit did AWESOME!!! The event was held at our town's Stagecoach days on the basketball court under the lights. It was pretty cool, we had many spectators and others walking by, stopping to see what we were doing. We looked pretty bad-ass throwing weights up in the air! Here is our group photo minus a couple athletes, Enjoy!<br />

So, I follow Kandee's two blogs. She is talented, funny and finds some great stuff. Well, today I shared with a couple of my friends her finds. My friend Tricia loves her GoldenDoodle to death, but in all honesty who wouldn't! He looks like the fuzziest teddy bear you just want to squeeze! So today I shared with her this funny post from Kandee, click <a href="http://www.kandeej.com/2011/09/how-to-dye-your-dog-like-lion-tiger-or.html">HERE</a>!<br />
<br />
Then my other friend Karen, who has the best lashes AROUND had to get this; click <a href="http://www.kandeej.com/2011/08/trend-spotting-paper-eyelashes.html">HERE</a>!<br />

I was so mad that we had to wait this long to go down there. It is PARADISE!! We take all our food and drinks and really never have to leave the condo. We hang out on the beach, in the pool or inside the condo. It is so PEACEFUL, there is never anyone there. <br />The first time we went was 4th of July weekend, there were 3-4 other condos occupied out of 24. We had the pool and beach pretty much to ourselves! It was so fun. Here are some photos from our first weekend in Puerto Penasco, Mexico(I mean paradise!)!<br /><div><embed src="http://widget-fc.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=3098476543680253948&site=widget-fc.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3098476543680253948&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-fc.slide.com/p1/3098476543680253948/bb_t059_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3098476543680253948&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-fc.slide.com/p2/3098476543680253948/bb_t059_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3098476543680253948&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-fc.slide.com/p4/3098476543680253948/bb_t059_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div><br /><br /><br />Two weeks later, my friend Sophia and her family called and wanted to go down before she and her kids move to Florida. So we packed up and went. It was so relaxing to hang out with them and just have fun! My kids really enjoyed playing with Billy and Kallie on the beach and in the pool. Elle and Kallie have been best friends for 3 years now and we will miss them.
