Funny Labor Day Finds

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 HERE!

Then my other friend Karen, who has the best lashes AROUND had to get this; click HERE!

For more great videos, tutorials and just a good laugh from a genuinely funny girl, check out Kandee Johnson on YouTube

Happy Labor Day Everyone!

Puerto Penasco, Mexico

So, finally after five years of my dad and step-mom owning their condo, the kids and I went! 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.
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!)!

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. Enjoy the photos from the weekend!

Yaneth's Birthday Dinner

My dear friend Yaneth turned a year older on the 10th and we always have a dinner for the birthday girl. She chose to go to Brooklyn Boys, so we celebrated there! Always lots of laughter and photos when we are together. Happy Birthday honey! Enjoy.

My brothers birthday

Eric turned a year older on the 22nd and he wanted to go to Ikea, so we ventured there. After Ikea, we went to As You Wish Pottery and each painted a masterpiece! We had fun. Happy Birthday Eric, and enjoy our photos!


We also went out to dinner! Enjoy!

My nephews

My step-sister Ali had twins on Father's Day!!! She had no clue she was having twins, thought there was only one baby inside her tummy. Their names are Franklin Kai and Liam Robert. They are the cutest little guys ever. I was in heaven holding them and watching them. I am so happy some one in our family had twins, I always dreamt of having them myself! Here are the photos of the boys, enjoy!

Utility sink

Sometimes, I like to give the kids baths in the utility sink in my laundry room. Luckily they still fit in! These are the faces I got tonight giving them their baths. Enjoy!

Bubba's winking

So, we got home from picking Elle up from school and Ivan wanted to play outside. He went out by himself, well it was lunch time. I opened the door to ask him to come eat and he ran off. As Elle and I were sitting down in comes a new dog through the dog door!



Then, as we were eating I was trying to get him to wink and so here is the video! Enjoy!
