Spring Cleaning

Well it is my spring break.  I have decided to get some long needed cleaning done.  So far I have gone through the kid's clothes.  I think I will be going through the toys tonight to get the broken ones out.  Then cleaning each room and throwing things away, or putting them in boxes to a yard sale.  I have help from the kiddos.  I think I will start in the boys room and work my way up.  I know it seems like I don't do anything but clean but I do other things too. 
I think tomorrow I am taking the kids on an adventure.  just me and the kids.  Leaving the dog home and not worrying about anything.  Just me and my kiddos having a good time out in the fresh air.  SO I will post of our adventure and spring cleaning progress...maybe even pictures.  Should be fun.  Until next time.

Life is Wonderful

WOW!  This has been a crazy few weeks.  We did a bunch of things.  Mostly celebrating birthdays.  Seems like February is hard busy but so fun.  Little miss got her first 2 teeth and working on 4 more.  Kyle is growing so much and is talking so good.  Adam has begun to recognize his letters and can say the alphabet very well.  My kiddos are growing up so fast.

We celebrated Valtentine's day then Glady and Shannon's birthday.  It all ended on the 21th with a trip to Vegas for family fun with the new 21 Glady.  What a great time we had. 

Lydia turned 9 months old on the 26th and is learning new things every day. She loves the camera and will smile every time she sees it.

Jaymes and I celebrated Valentine's day by seeing Yogi in 3D and eating Subway and shopping in St. George.  What a nice day. 

School is busy as always.  I have a presentation on the 9th and Spring break is right around the corner. 

Well things are rolling right along and everyday is an adventure.

February lovin #1

February is always busy for us.  There are 2 birthdays and Valentines day all in a 2 day celebration.  Next week is that week so it will be crazy fun.  But I am not here to tell you about next week I am here to tell you about last week.  Well Sunday was Super Bowl and the kids and I watched the game together and rooted for Green Bay!   What a fun time.  Snacks and family fun.  Then Monday just the normal school day.  Then home to clean and hang out as a family.  Tuesday more school and family fun.  The rest of the week went by with out anything exciting happening.  Thursday our tax return came in and I went on a shopping spree for some clothes for little Lydia.  She is in size 12 months and we have very few of those.  Also got a shirt each for the boys and a toy.  Nothing too exciting.  Today, a little more shopping, and moving Mom's stuff into her new place.  So you see nothing too exciting.  but I like to update.  I have committed to it.  LOL.  Well here are some pics from the week and until next time.  Live Laugh Love

Waiting his turn to learn golf

I look scary but This is a GREAT pic of Lydia

Kyle was thinking very hard.

Changes happening.

Well I started making Lydia a quilt.  Right now I am just stumped on in what order to put the awesome patches I made.  I think I will get it figured out tomorrow...  On top of that.  Mom got herself a nice 2 bedroom 2 bath CONDO...Ya no more studio for her.  She will be taking the twin bed for now and the big TV stand that is sitting in Lydia's room right now.  Then I can put another stand in Miss Lydia's room and get her room all ready to be painted and have new decor.  I will be starting the decor prep this next weekend and then the following weekend is when we will paint.  I know I am crazy to be doing all this and School...but you know what I NEED it...I feel like they need nice rooms that are decorated just for them.  I am going to get toy boxes, hopefully 2 new dressers and awesome stuff for the wall in each room.  The bunk beds are FANTASTIC and will be kept in the same place.  I will for sure take pics before, during and after the process.  I am so excited.
After the kid's rooms are all done I will move to paint the rest of the house.  I am getting a big bucket of paint because the whole house is the same color. (the red room will stay red).  It will be AWESOME!  Might take a week or 2 but it will all get done.  Feels like I need to do stuff. besides schoolwork.  SO the process begins. Pics and maybe a tutorial for the quilt to come when it is finished.  Happy times for our family!

Love month

It is February already!  can you believe it?  I am amazed at how fast this year is already going.  Things are busy around here.  With school, kids and everyday life there is never a dull moment. 
This month we will be getting things done.  On top of school work and everything I am planning a painting and decor change in the kid's rooms.  It is going to be FANTASTIC!  I am going to make Lydia's room so girlie it is not ever funny.  I think she will finally get some AWESOME pink sheets for her crib and I think the crib may be painted pink.  I will also either take the twin bed out or get pink sheets and blankets to make it a super nice addition to her room.  The boys will get posters and awesome Boy items on the wall.  I will for sure take pictures and post them.  I am going to try and update very often but our lives are not too exciting. 

I have lost a few pounds in my weight loss journey.  and my pants are starting to be too big.  Jaymes is getting nice muscles from work and the kids are all growing like little weeds.  Just the average month in the life of us. 

Can't wait to see what the rest of the month as planned for us.  As of now I am going to be taking a picture of a heart a day along with my Project 365.  and I will be focusing on school work more.   Our schedule is getting into place even better now so things are getting done.  Enjoy your week everyone and I will be back for a post on Sunday! 
I will leave you with a few pictures.

Lydia loves to Stand

January

This month has been crazy.  Lots of stuff happening.  We built a fence for the dog in the backyard, and are deciding to paint the kid's rooms.  I think it will happen after tax money gets here. 
School is crazy for Michelle, and just started for Jaymes. It is taking a little time to get a schedule going but I think it is finally working out. 
This past week we have all been sick.  As of today Kyle is much better, so is Lydia, but Adam is so sick all he wants to do is lay on the couch so not like him.  Jaymes is feeling the sickness.  I am feeling it too but the days must go on.  I have to go to class do homework and take care of the kids.  No sick days for moms.
Well that is about all for now.  Next month will be fun and interesting...hope everyone has a great rest of the month.  I will post some pictures very soon

Changes they be a Happening.

WOW...WOW... That is all I have to say right now.  December went by super fast and I could not believe that 2010 was already over.  My kids loved all their Christmas gifts and Enjoyed the family time that we got to have.  we kicked off 2011by staying home and enjoying the Vegas fireworks from out living room.  The house was WAY warmer than it was outside, also not as far and not as crowded.  The kids all stayed up except Lydia. 

Two days later it snowed and we took the kids to play in the snow.  It was so fun to see them in snow.  We even built a tiny snowman. 

The Spring semester has begun.  It started on the 10th and I am totally busy with it already.  The kids are fine with me being away.  They understand that Mommy is going to school and they wave everytime I leave.  I am not sure if it is for me or my new car.  Which they call BumbleBee.  I will just pretend it is for me. 
I go to class 40 miles away 4 days a week.  I know I am crazy...but you do what you gotta do. 

Jaymes is loving his job and has an opportunity to advance in the near future.  School starts for him on the 24th and he is looking forward to the new experiences he is going to have.

OMG I totally forgot to tell you WE GOT A DOG!  I know crazy right.  She is a Hound dog.  8 months old.  it is crazy at my house.

Ok now.  Lydia is cutting teeth and is very cranky about it.  She wants everyone to knwo she is in pain and not liking it. 
Adam is getting so smart and can identify the letters in the alphabet and numbers.  It is scary how good he is getting at stuff.
Kyle is turning into a little man. He is talking a lot more and loving every minute he gets to spend with Daddy.  He loves movies and MONSTER TRUCKS! 

Well that is everything for now I guess.  Things are going and the changes that are coming are that Michelle is losing weight. Adam will start school in August and Kyle may begin preschool in September.  Lydia will be walking soon and that will make keeping tabs on her that much harder. 

Thanks to everyone for reading and have a great day.

LIVE...LAUGH...LOVE
