Visit to see Ashton!

Okay so I am a little behind on posting but I have been pretty busy between the kids and school. So we just got back yesterday from a quick trip to Redding, California we went there to see Robs son that he had from a previous relationship. We use to see his son every weekend until Savannah was born then his mom made it impossible to see him. So it is good that we have contact with him now and we planned a trip to go see him. His name is Ashton and he is 12 years old. This is the first time the kids have met him. It went very well and the kids had a great time. They can't wait to see him again! They shed some tears when we dropped him off. They were pretty all pretty sad. So here are some pictures from the trip. So we went bowling, swimming and to a park that Rob and I took Ashton to when he was 2 and played so the pictures are from those different activities. They loved being in the water the most!

Sage is turning 7!!

Wow my kids are growing up to fast!! Today is Sage's Birthday and she will be 7! She is sweet girl who loves to dance and sing! I really need to get a video camera so that I can start taping her when she is dancing and do it without her knowing! Well here are some pictures of her!!!

Scrapbook weekend!

So I had to make a post about my weekend last week! I just have been busy and haven't had a chance to. Well I went to the Scrapbook Convention in Portland with my mom and I will tell you had the best time and have decided that is what I want for my birthday and Christmas this year too! I know this is silly but I don't have any pictures to post from that weekend but as I get my projects from the weekend finished I will post them! It was great to spend the weekend with mom and I am so glad we got to go together! I think this is been the first time I have ever done something with mom by myself and no else in a very long time so it was nice. It was exciting because I won a ton of stuff! Each class has door prizes and then there is door prizes in the vendor area as well. I won something 7 times between my classes and the vendor area! It was so cool! I guess it was just my lucky day!! It would be fun to get more of the sisters that scrapbook to come next year!I really enjoyed! Oh wait I said that already!

My Baby is not a Baby Anymore!

Today is Sierra's birthday she is turning 3! I can not believe how fast time flies! She is not a baby anymore and this does make me sad. I get pretty emotional about it. We had a birthday party yesterday. It was a Super Why theme she loves the show it is on PBS and it is pretty cute. I made cupcakes with Starbursts cut up into squares for carrots and sixlets candies in green to look like peas. I think they turned out pretty cute! The Princess Presto on the show says Peas and Carrots Carrots and Peas Open the book please please! So that is where that idea came from. Here is some pictures from the party and then of Sierra over her three years! Posted late due to power outage here!

Target and Safeway Trip!

I just had to share the awesome job I did on my shopping trip to get some things at Target and Safeway. Yesterday I went through my coupon binder(yes I said binder) and got all my coupons together that I was going use at Target and Safeway so that once the kids were off to school I could run in to town and get some things. When I was at Target they had some great stuff on clearance that I grabbed too because it was a good deal. The pictures are not very clear I don't know why I couldn't get them clearer but I spent 45.00 dollars for all of that!! This is what I got!

Keeping In Touch!

So I don't really have anything that exciting to post about but thought I should just post a little something to say hi! I am keeping busy with the kids and my classes for this block of school have been more challenging so I have been spending a lot more time doing school work. I am also trying to lose weight again so I have started doing the P90X videos and they are a workout. Some of them I can do then there are some that will have to wait until I am stronger. I am also getting things organized for Sierra's Birthday coming up! She is gonna be 3! I can't believe my baby is gonna be 3! It kinda makes me sad but I am so glad to be out of the diaper stage!! Love it! I had 9 years of diapers so I am done!! Except for the fact that one of my day care kids mom is pregnant which means I will be having a baby in August! LOL He is here 10hrs a day so when that baby is hear so will it but at least they go home! Sierra is gonna have a Super Why party she loves that show! It is a super cute show and she learns from it too! She can already tell you what certain letters are! Not all of them yet but there is a few she can do already! So that is what we have been up to! I will hopefully have something to post soon.

Sierra Potty Training!

I don't have any pictures except for the one I sent mom on her phone but you guys are probably glad about that! LOL So I started potty training Sierra on the day the kids went back to school after Christmas break. So Jan 4th and she is by far the easiest and I am so very grateful because I have had some difficult times with potty training with the other kids. She had one accident that whole week! I can even take her to the store and not have to put pull ups on or anything. She is pretty much completely potty trained! I have been putting on pull ups at night just in case but she has been waking up dry! She did have two accidents the other day but something was up she was going potty every 5 minutes and saying she hurt so took to doctor and she had the start of a UTI so no fun but thank goodness she still wants to go potty on the toilet! She doesn't want me to help her at all! Says I do it by myself! Tells me to get out and shut the door! Such a demanding little one! But I am so excited I now have no kids in diapers!!!! Very exciting time for me!!
