Blogging?

WOW!!! Since September I haven't blogged!! Been so long I had to recover passwords and such with all these google accounts! Chit chattin with a friend, and remembered all about my blogging days! Thought I'd give it another spin! Love everyones cool posts!! Cant wait to dig right back in and see what new stuff is out there ;)

Quick catch up... Everyones doing GREAT over here! Lexi's about to have her preschool graduation, and start kindergarten, yay!!! Christopher is about to start preschool! I am totally ready for Lexi to move up, not so sure about Christopher. Lexi's into Icarly and Barbie Barbie Barbie..... Christopher just wants to be outside, or wrestling...he has matured a little bit in his behavior, but could still use some work!! When dads home we are always playing the wii with him and riding bikes! He is working 2 jobs and going to school, so when we see him we are always busy!! I am truly blessed to have this wonderful man in my life. He works so hard for our family! I am more in love with him now than I ever have been before. I have had some drama with friends lately, and all that it shows me is that he is truly my best friend. He will always be there for me in the end!! I love him more than words could explain!!! TE AMO HENRY xoxo


Well for my blog post today...Glad I have kids and a husband or I wouldn't know what to write about! Let me just start by telling one story for the day, about Henry! We have been driving on the high way a lot lately. Took a nice trip Monday to the Brandon mall, and realized we should probably try and remove some of the bugs from the front of my car. Henry wasn't so busy today so I took it down there for him to clean. I thought he was just going to clean the bugs and let me be on my merry old way...NOT!!! He wanted to detail the whole car....Very nice and all, but I cocked a little attitude. I didn't want to be there, I had other things I needed to do, and we hadn't eaten lunch yet. Ha ha, he didn't like my attitude, so ya know what he did....HILARIOUS!!! He was holding the water to clean the cars, and sprayed me, just like a 5 year old. He got mad and sprayed me with a hose....I was laughing so hard, and he didn't undertsand why until I was like seriously you just sprayed me because you were mad, how old are you? We had a nice laugh anyways!

Second story of the day.....I swear Lexi thinks she's all grown up. Her and her friend had planned during school to have a sleep over, she told me all about it on the way home today, but I didn't really think it ment anything. After dinner she was like okay Hannah said we can pick her up after dinner. I was like Lexi I haven't even spoken to her mother for one, your 5 for another, and its a school night.... I said I dont know where she lives. She was like its the blue house with all the rocks over in (such and such) neighborhood....Im sure I could have found it with the directions, but she really thought her friend was coming over!! My what am I instore for as she gets older? Well hopefully you enjoyed my blog for today, and hopefully I don't let 8 months go by before I write again!!!

Boys will be Boys

It isn't out of the ordinary to hear me yelling at Christopher to get down, or to stop jumping on the couch, or whatever oddly animal activity he is doing. Today was no exception. "Christopher get down." "Stop jumping on your sister." "Don't jump on there.""Stop, you're going to get hurt." Well finally today may be the day he stops these things....probably not, but only time will tell. Wanna know why? He fell off the couch and scraped his whole back up! He cried for forever. Of course I was like see I told you why you are not supposed to do that. He says he wont ever do it again, but ha we will see. Lexi to says she will not be jumping on the couch. Lexi also was crying and yelling "Ba, why did you do that, you scared me. Don't do that again." Well here is the picture...kinda gross so don't look if you don't like gross things......

The First Day of School

Don't turn around my little child

don't watch me walk away...

Because I'll want to take you home

and keep you one more day...

Standing tall in brand new shoes

your hand is on the door...

If I could freeze this moment, dear

you'd be my babe once more...

But new adventures wait for you

new places and new friends...

The road ahead is wide and long

and filled with forks and bends...

It's time for us to say goodbye

you show the strength I lack...

for as I turn to leave you there

it's I who must look back...

Dreaming!

My my what a handful Christopher has been these last few weeks! Very stubborn little boy he is! But he still manages to do things I cant help but aww over. I went to check in on the kids shortly after I put them to bed and Christopher was sleeping with Lexi. He asked me if he could sleep in my bed, but I told him I wasn't going to sleep yet and he had to go back to his bed. So I guess he hopped in bed with Lexi! Such a cutie (when he is asleep) :o)

Terrific Tuesday

So today started a little rough with me and my husband, but by the days end things are always looking up. Lately, financially things are a bit tight...we manage, but his work is REALLY slow right now. This hard time frustrates us and we are easily caught up into arguements.... BUT, fingers crossed we may have a buyer for one of the cars we have for sale!!! yippy!!!! So Mondays are gymnastics days! Lexi enjoys her class very much! She always has fun and is learning things like how to listen and pay attention to the directions she is instructed by her teacher. Hopefully we can continue to put her through gymnastics even in the fall. She loved having her dad watch her today in her class. When he came in she told everyone that was her dad and then she kept watching for his approval, clap, or thumbs up after she did some sort of a flip or balance beam, or whatever she did!

I dont know who reads my blogs...but if you do, friend or not please check out a website for me! If you have little girls or know of little girls who would like bows or dresses (sizes nb-4t) please order them from this website! Send details of colors or something we dont have! We can try lots of new things! I would surely appreciate ANY business! http://2craftymomes.ecrater.com/ Pass the website along to any and all!!!!

Empanadas!!

Sundays are always a fun day around here because Henry usually doesn't have to work! The day started off quite nicely I should say. I got to sleep in and my husband got the kids breakfast all made today! How exciting for me!!! We then sat around doing nothing, and I got an idea!! I wanted to make empanadas. So I went off to the store to buy a tortilla maker and the flour and such to get myself started! I did not know what I was getting myself into. First I made the dough, and then had to roll them into balls, press them, and then stuff and fold! Not too bad...but frying them was taking a lot longer than expected. Good ole Henry came to the rescue and fried all my tostadas and empanadas. I was seriously in there for like 3 hours, and literally everything in our home smells fried! The kids at one point had to go outside because their eyes were burning from all the cooking!! BUT it was fun working in the kitchen with the hub and the food was EXCELLENT!!!! Now I can totally see why Spanish ladies are in the kitchen all day cooking...this stuff takes a lot of preparing! We fed everyone and their mom because we had made so much! We called everyone over to his parents to stop by to eat! It was definitely a fun day! Now the day is done, and I am so ready for bed! We got gymnastics tomorrow, and I think I need to do laundry so Lexi has something to wear there. I haven't boughten her a leotard yet because I want to make sure it is something she is going to keep doing before I spend the money (that we don't have) :o)

Over Due Blog

My my where does all the time go? I feel like I don't do a lot in one day, but the time just goes so quickly. Before I know it we have eaten dinner and the day is over.

We have had a very fun filled summer so far. My last blog I wrote was about adventure Island when my sister was here. Well she is gone now (been gone for some time) but while she was here we did several more fun things, including bowling, some trips to the "cookie mall" the beach, and way more! Now that she is gone, we are still keeping up with summer activities. I have found my self to be keeping some what of a "tan" (by no means tan, just not as pale as my normal self) this summer. I also find myself sweating and being absolutely disgusted with this hot weather, but hey this is Florida, that's why we swim and go into the ocean, to cool off!! Lexi has started Gymnastics. So far so good, she seems to like it. I never had the opportunity to do these things when I was little because my mom raised 4 kids all on her own, so I am VERY thankful that I can put Lexi into something. We are still looking to find something for Christopher, we are hoping soccer or karate. If he doesn't start something this summer, then he will do something while Lexi is in preschool this year! YAY!!! Monday-Friday 9-12 she is going to promise land preschool. Hopefully we can get this family into a better sleeping routine and we can all be in bed and up early for Lexi to be off! I cant wait to start this next chapter in her life. I am so excited to see my little girl grow up and learning all that she does (we could do without the miss prissy sassy attitude some days) but girls will be girls! Christopher seems to be calming down in some ways (I guess). He is still 3 and acts it! He loves wrestling with his dad (and of course Levi). He is for surely all boy...eh well kinda...when he isn't playing dress up with Lexi.... He seems to be having "growing" pains these days. Everyone says he has shot up and grown a little bit. Poor kid is feeling all of it. Other than him being a wild animal, and Lexi doing her girly thing. We seem to be having quite the fun summer. Birthday parties, baby showers, all sorts of fun things these days. Well here are a few pictures of the kiddos the last few days and one of my oh so sexy man :o) Shhhh don't tell him I put this up here, he'll kill me! He is not a picture person and I had to snap one of him b/c I just couldn't resist!
