Early bedtime

I finally figured out after almost 8 years of being a mom, how to get the kids to go to bed early. I started trying to shed a few pounds (yeah again) and am into exercising right now. The other night the kids wanted to do it with me. So we went out front, ran two laps around the court, did jumping jacks and several other exercises. When we were done I stuck them in the bath and then read to them and they were out by 8pm. So then I thought "Ok this must be a fluke". So I did it again last night and sure enough....they went to bed early.
I wonder when they will catch on that they don't want to do this because it makes them tired. Right now they are loving the workout and I am loving the quite night (and watching them have fun exercising.

The many faces of Alec

I finally got a good smile (after 20 minutes and a bribe or two)

Alive but busy

I just wanted to tell everyone, I am alive.....JUST BUSY!

She is 8 months

Wow time has gone by way to fast. Jessica is due in 6 weeks. We had her baby shower this weekend and she got a ton of gifts anf had lots of fun. I have a bunch of pictures but they are all on Tammy's (Jessica's boyfriends mom) camera. We have the same camera and I was taking pictures with her camera the entire time (I know, I know)

Going out with the girls

Girls night tonight. I miss just hanging with my friends. I remember back in high school when we would just sit and try and figure out what we were going to do that night. Now it is a rare occasion when we can even get together and we KNOW what we are doing when we do. hahaha Having some good food and some drinks!!

Giants game one tonight!

Jaden has his first game tonight. We are really excited. Here are some pictures from his opening day last weekend.

And one of Miss Thang and her Cousin from this weekend!

Leprechaun Trap

We made a leprechaun trap for Jaden's school project this weekend. I think it turned out good. We got a shoe box and sprayed it gold along with several rocks. We stuck some army guys on the top so that when the leprechaun comes in they can trap him. hahaha

Check it out.

My smart boy

Jaden got a awesome report card sent home. I didn't have to have a conference this time because he is doing so well. He is above average and I am just so proud of him!

Baseball/Spring

Baseball is back in full force for us. We have practices two nights a week and games start next week. That means the weather is going to start getting nice (wishful thinking). I love baseball season. I love watching Jaden (and Alec) play and have so much fun. Those to really love the game.

This weekend was so beautiful. The kids actually got to spend time outside. They love being able to play outside. They burn so much energy (yeah baby).

After having two boys it is fun to have a girl and as much as everyone (ok Katie) makes fun of me, I got Sienna a dress with a matching doll dress. haha Ok I got her two and might get one more(not obsessed at all) . She loves it.

They smile the same

Nicky is 4

My godson/nephew is 4 today. Four sounds so much older then three. haha I swear it was just yesterday when my sister in law and I were pregnant with the boys (they are 5 weeks apart, both arriving early). Now they are best friends! Happy birthday Nicky!

Oh and Mariah turned 13 on Feb. 21st. I got to spend some time with her and my sister last Friday night. I forgot what its like to be Thirteen. haha I can't believe that Brannon and I got together when she was a year old and now she is thirteen...........wow!

Alyssa

I got to watch Alyssa last night. Man that little girl is so freaken cute. She loves loves the kids more then me though. haha She wanted to follow Sienna around and was so upset when she would leave the room. Of course Sienna loved every minute of it. If you know Sienna, you know she is obsessed with babies. Alyssa had fun following Sienna around, trying to get her Nilla cookies. Look how adorable she is

She has leg rolls!!! I want to keep her (except I don't want to deal with crying, diapers or teething). haha

GOOD DAY!

Alec is better and wanting to go to school today (not without dressing himself and bringing what he wants........he is back to normal)
I was on time for work today even after, packing lunches, dealing with Alec, Getting gas, stopping by Katie's etc. haha
So far work is going good! Yeah baby baby!

My poor baby Alec is sick. He hasn't been awake for more then 10 min since yesterday afternoon. I am going to make a appointment for him because I am worried. My poor baby!

I swear my family is just passing around sickness. BLAH
