*Long Weekend*


I love Fridays, they are my favorite day...I love the feeling after getting off of work, knowing I don't have to be back for 2 days! But this weekend we get an extra day!! :) This weekend we get to spend it at a baseball tournament...all weekend! I wonder if Tanner is getting burnt out on baseball? I know M wants to be in the desert riding....I would like to be sitting at my desk scrapping... ;)


I really like this picture of me & Jake from Mommy & Me day...although I was so sick, could barely talk & I think I was feverish, maybe that is why my face is so pink!

*Monday*


I love this picture- I think it is one of my favorites from last summer...this picture has no relevance to my post...it just makes me smile!!
So, if today is any indication of how my week is going to go, it will be another loonnng week ahead of me. Sometimes I just hate my job!!! Here's to wishing it was 4:30 already!!!
School is almost out for the kids, I cannot believe that this school year has flown by! I want to try to do some fun things with the kids this summer...hope it works out.

*stressful*

It has been a looonnnngg stressful week of work! I am so glad it is Friday. I feel exhausted/drained.




This is Riley's (and Tanner's) favorite thing to do lately...put on their music. Now that Riley has her ipod, she doesn't listen to her cd player in her room anymore. I loved to hear her play her music- Cheetah Girls, Kids Bop, Disney etc....She is growing up too fast.

*Mother's Day*


It was a fun day...we went out to Temecula and had a great picnic lunch at Key Ways (Thanks Mom!)...then did some wine tasting at Oak Mountain, Frangipani and Cougar wineries. Went to Mom & Larry's and played in the game room and got to taste their wine from the barrel...FUN day! Too bad that M & Tanner had to come late in the day because of baseball practice! Then we had dinner and drove home...was a long day and the kids were tired, but it was well worth it. I love to go to Temecula! :)

*Friday*

Yeah- it's Friday!! A couple of things that made me happy yesterday. I picked Jake up from school and he had his Mother's Day present for me, he wouldn't let me wait to open it...he makes me laugh. I love the last thing on questions....."I love you more than.....my sister". That's pretty good, because he loves his sister ALOT!

In the mail we (Jake & I) got our "gift" from Starbucks....a really cute bear with a Starbucks apron on him and I got a $50.00 gift certificate....very nice! Cannot wait to use that one!

*Fashion Designer in training....*


This little girl has such a personality...and you really get to see it when it is just her and I or when I watch her interact with her friends. I think when she is around her brothers the middle child in her comes out. She gets quiet and just observes, sometimes she won't even talk at the dinner table, mostly so Tanner won't give her grieve I think. She is a great artist and can spend hours (well, it seems like hours) sitting at her desk drawing. Her new thing is her and her friend Sarah are going to be fashion designers. She has a notebook that she carries with her in the car so she can design her clothes. She has a "kids" line and "teen" line- and the funny thing is- she is really good! Not only can she draw fashion but she puts together really cute outfits for herself. She loves to check out what others are wearing, their shoes, earrings & necklaces (me included) and she isn't shy (if she knows you) to tell you that she likes something you are wearing!! My little diva.... :)

National Scrapbooking Day

was on Saturday...and I had big plans to get some scrapping done. I even ordered 78 pictures that have been waiting to be printed, Riley & I went out on Friday night got paper and did I scrap? No!!! I am so mad at myself! All I ever think about is layouts I want to create and then when I sort of have time I don't do anything...what's wrong with me? I did clean up my desk so that I can actually see part of it...maybe that will motivate me when I have some time...

*So, that was fun.....*

not really.....This morning I get Jake up & out of the house because we need to stop at Starbucks to get a teacher appreciation gift for his teacher. After picking out a mug & gift certificate & ordering my coffee, we are waiting at the counter for the young kid to ring me up. He puts my coffee on the counter, sort of near the edge and then puts our purchases in a bag. He pushes the bag towards me, knocks over the coffee and it spills down the front of Jake. He won't let me take his shirt off (luckily, he had two shirts on this morning) and all he wants to do is hug me because he is embarrassed. Finally, I get his shirt off (he held his arms down so tight I couldn't even move them). The manager comes over, gives him stickers and puts them on both of his arms. She takes my name & number because Starbucks will have to make out an incident report. Meanwhile the line has backed up out the door and everyone is watching us. They make me a new coffee and we are off. You would think they would at least give me my coffee for free- We got to school & we showed Mrs K & Mrs G, again Jake did not want anyone to see his tummy- but his arm was red, not enough to cause blistering, but....So the teachers are going to call if anything changes.... And, Starbucks just called me to find out how Jake was doing- I am sure that don't want a lawsuit on their hands....of course I would never do that- it wasn't that bad.....

*Jewelry Party*


had a really fun jewelry party last night at my house....and I really want this necklace, along with about 10 other items!! Cute, cute stuff. My friend Cami is selling Lia Sophia jewelry, and it is so nicely made! And Cami your hair looks fabulous, by the way! :) It was nice to see friends and reconnect with people I haven't seen in awhile....always a good thing to do! :)

*Grandparents Day*...


at Jake's preschool....Grandma came and got to see Jake lead the Pledge of Alligiance..."weady begin" he said!! :)

Here is what Jake said about his grandparents..." I like to do cool stuff with Grandma and Grandpa, like cars & dirt bikes, and I like playing monster trucks too."
