Christmas in August

Ok guys, I know I have lost my mind! I have begun Christmas Shopping already! Although I am a self proclaimed shop-a-holic, Christmas is a great excuse to do it! We have all the kids this year and I cannot wait! Hell, I may just put up the Christmas lights in September. Last year we won the Apple Grove House Decorating contest because you could see our house from Jupiter, and the best part is that we never even knew there was one. One day Nick looked out the window and yells "Honey, someone stuck something in our front lawn!!!" When we went outside we found a decorated yard sign announcing us as the winner for best Decorated house in the neighborhood! YES! And to top it all off they paid our HOA fee that month as the prize!

Oh, we ARE going to win again this year, you can count on it! Right Nick.......? Nick......honey? Ah man.....

Lagoon

My work had a Lagoon Day on Saturday, so we took Ke'alohi for her birthday and she brought her cousin Keali'i. It was a blast! We rode most of the rides before the park got too busy and we even got Ke'alohi to go on The Wicked....after she shed a few tears, that is. Here are the few pics we took from the park...

Oh and thank you Chrissy for watching Kman!

What's the Occasion?

There is no occasion. It's a running joke at my work that whenever the front desk gets flowers they already know who to deliver them to. This time the card read "From your Secret Admirier". I am one lucky gal!

I love you Nicholas.

Party Weekend!

Friday night we all watched Highschool Musical 2. IT WAS AWESOME! The boys fell asleep, Ambria got put to bed half way through it for being naughty, but guess who made it through the whole show???? GIVE UP? Ke'alohi! She loves those movies.

Saturday we took a long bike ride around the neighborhood, hung out at the park and had a bbq. Saturday night we had a glow stick and Kareoke party. The kids love to dance with glow sticks and sing songs on the Kareoke machine.

All in all I would say we had a pretty fun weekend. Good thing cuz the kids go back to school TOMORROW! hahahahaha

I hurt myself mom....

Once again, Ambria was graceful and did a face plant on the cement. I believe she is going to have a permanently disfigured forehead because every time she falls she hits the same place. Say hello to princess grace.....

New to the Blogging World...

Thank you, thank you, I would like to take complete credit for sucking in my best friend Shayla to the world of blogging! Shayla and I have been friends for 6 years now but she moved to Vernal a while back...yeee hawwww , sorry, uh and well now she has her very own blog so we can stay in touch!

Make her feel welcome.....here's her new site http://www.3smlamigos.blogspot.com/.

Thank you Grandmama and Grandaddy...

Ambria got a package in the mail last night From Grandmama and Grandaddy Stocks in Virginia for her birthday. She got a new pair of jammies, and a Swan Princess dress up skirt that has a music box in it and plays the Swan Princess song! She loved it! She didn't want to take it off to take a bath.......

Oh and the Ruby Slippers? Those are from my mom! She wears them everywhere because they are her Magic Shoes!!!!!

THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN.......

Alright girls (ages 13 and under), lol, it's time to get PUMPED UP!!! I would like to make an announcement....da da da da.....drum roll please....

Highschool Musical 2 is going to be on TV this Friday at 9:00pm!

Ke'alohi just did a backflip!.....don't worry she's ok ;)

Don't worry kids, if you don't have the Disney Channel, just have your mom bring you over to our house, we will make a party out of it!

AND STOP DROOLING.....HE'S JUST A BABY!

New Template in the Works.....

Stay tuned....you have to stare at boring old white until I figure out something new. What can I say I get bored! If you have seen my house every room is painted a different color and if you haven't been over for a while you can bet the furniture may not be in the same place either. Do they have a term for this kind of sickness? Boredism.

Sorry!

Ok, I officially have to say SORRY for not being Mrs. Blogger pants lately. Our computer bit the dust and although Nick and I both have lap tops now for work, if we bring them home somehow we end up working more from home and I tell ya at the end of a long day I am sick of staring at my computer, so I slack off on the whole blog thing. I will try to be better for you 2 people out there who actually read this crap. :) So there you have it, I'm sorry. Was that heartfelt enough for ya?

Preschool Parent Night.....

Tonight is Parent Night at Ambria's preschool. All of the parents and students get together to meet each other and the teacher. Ambria is so excited! We are going with the Bailey's and then we are going to dinner after. I will keep you posted how it goes!

GUESS WHAT?

Kayden is crawling! It's official! He decided Saturday that it was time and now he is all over the place. I am so excited for the kids to come over this weekend so that they can see him crawl! I will make sure to post some videos and pictures soon!

Stupid Cat

I have decided that cats are not the smartest creatures on this planet, in fact I am starting to believe they may be one of the dumbest. We are down to one cat this evening, again. I bet you will never guess who is missing......give up? He's fat and dumb and yes folks, he is once again stuck in the neighbors window well, since, oh when did I see him last, yesterday morning? Only problem this time is that they aren't home, and I don't know when they will be.

Stay tuned........

Missing my baby girl....

Well it's been almost two weeks since I have seen Ambria now and I am really starting to miss her. Colleen (my ex mother in law) called me a couple of days ago and was really nervous to ask me something. She finally got the guts to do it and asked if there would be any way I would let her and Tom take Ambria with them on vacation to Oregon. Without hesitating I replied "SURE!"

It was really sweet because she started to cry and wouldn't stop thanking me. Ambria has spent most of the summer with Colleen while Chrissy just has Kman and takes a little break. How could i tell her no? They love that little girl so much and besides I would rather her be in Oregon on the beach then stuck at a babysitters house all day long (no offense Chrissy, I love you, and you know it).

When I got off the phone I realized that this is going to be the longest I have ever been away from Ambria. It will be almost 3 weeks. I'm sad, but in the same sense I am happy for her that she gets to go on a trip with grandma and grandpa and have fun and be spoiled. I just hope she hasn't grown up too much these past few weeks because when your gone that long you miss so much. :(

I love you Ambria!
