just because....

well, I made it home from Disneyland Wednesday night and I had a great time at school again last night. I'm really enjoying this class and the instructor! He keeps my attention all night long. Anyways, my hubby and i decided not to go to Glamis this weekend for the roll cage has not been completed (which I knew it wouldn't be...) so, It's just going to be a nice weekend at home for us. It's supposed to get really hot, so I'll probably end up setting up the boys $5 inflatable pool from Toys R Us this weekend to keep them cool. I think I might start tackling one of the bedrooms in the house that was neglected when we first moved in... I think I'm going to start painting it and then the only room that will need to be done is my bedroom. My bedroom is going to be one hell of a task!! it takes of the entire back side of the house, it's quite large... I was excited to have a bedroom that size but now I'm letting the size of it intimidate me!!

Well, as for Disneyland, it was kind of crowded as it was still Spring Break. The kids had a blast though.. well, mine did for that matter. Ryan is really starting to fall in love with disneyland. Aaron is getting better, he's still rather be at home eating, but they sat thru their first parade, finally got to ride the carousel again and took a nice ride around the park in the train. Ryan caught on real quick to the conductors "ALL ABOARD" shot out every time the train will descend from its previous location. It was fun.

I'm actually really starting to look forward to the end of the month...it will be my 4 year anniversary with my hubby and we have decided to go to San Diego for the weekend. I'm stoked to get to go to Sea World with out the kids... well, really not so much the kids but without the STROLLER!!! OMG! That thing is such a freaking pain in the ass!!! Once we're at Sea World, I'll be sad that the kids aren't there to see the shows and exhibits with us but I won't be sad at having to deal with the "cadillac". It should be a nice time... we'll be staying in Carlsbad and just drive into San Diego for the day. I'm really excited because we'll be staying next door to the Carlsbad Outlets! yay!!! I love to shop there. Well hopefully things will go well and there won't be anything else to worry about, it seems as though we are starting to reach the light at the end of the tunnel. Things are looking up and seem to be getting better. Let's just hope that they all stay that way.

words of the day:

Ryan: no way JOSE!!

Aaron: HAEYEEEE (haylie)

wednesday...

so, for the past two days I have been faithfully working out on my elliptical machine that my brother in law brought back to me and have been working out with my free weights.... dear lord, I have no strength to get out of bed! I finally pulled myself out of bed about half an hour ago. My bug, Ryan, put his Cars movie on and that pretty much kept him occupied until I found the strength to get out of bed. It's my own fault though.... my hubby wakes me up at 5 am every morning to make his coffee and lunch and when I'm done I'm wide awake but crawl back into bed... that's so bad, but what the heck am I supposed to do that early in the morning? anyways, Operation Lose MAJOR weight is in effect! I refuse to be the big girl in the boat this year and that's that.

Well, my sister made her way home from Costa Rica and she seems to be in good spirits. We have decided that we are going to take the kids to Disneyland for the afternoon since it's my nieces 4th birthday today... so that should be fun.. I was missing Disneyland! Well, I'd better get the kiddies ready and head on over to moms so that we can all scoot on out of here! I'll post more tonight and actually try to get some pictures up!

oh, big event this morning! Ryan made his own bed for the first time and it looks really good! Yay Ryan!!! I'm so proud of you!!!

words of the day...

words of the day today are:

Aaron: caaaar,, whoa!!!

Dad: ryan, are you my boy?!

Ryan: mmmm, no. I'm my mommy's boy!

it was a good day today.... hopefully I will be employed on monday!

Play Dates....

So, today marked the first day of our first play date. Ryan, Aaron and I headed over to Shaena's house and we all ate yummy sandwiches and the kids played wonderfully for 4+ hours while Shaena and I chatted. It was so nice to have adult conversation for a good portion of my day. I'm sad now that I have a friend at home and I'm about to go back to work. :( Oh well, I guess things happen for a reason. I hope that this thing with the job works out, I'm anxious to get back to work but at the same time, I think I have finally figured out how to make it work as a stay at home mommy. I love it, I'm going to miss my boys tremendously. I just hope that we can get this business off the ground soon so that I can have the option to stay home in the future. I'll just keep praying and thinking positive...

Back to our play date... Ryan and the kids made their way outside after about 3 hours of playing with toys... Shaena has an exceptionally large retriever that is really nice, but like I said... unusually large. Well, I peeked outside as the kids first went out there and Ryan seemed to be doing fine as the dog was in his dog run... Well, no more than 5 minutes later I hear Ryan screaming as if someone was trying to kill him. So Shaena and I ran to the window to see what the commotion was about and that's when we realized that Garrett had let the dog out of the run.. Gretz was pouncing and running all around the yard wanting to play... Poor little Ryan was freaking out and screaming as he is deathly afraid of large dogs... He was so scared that he kept falling to the ground, by the time Shaena got outside to rescue Ryan, he had lodged himself between her house and her AC unit on the patio to hide from the dog. My poor kid!!! As Shaena brought him into the house, he advised us of how he is afraid and does not like "big dogs". All I could do was hold him, the poor kid was still trembling just talking about it... But Shaena made it all better, she got him a go-gurt and all was good! I hope that we can have many more playdates in the future, I'm bummed that I may be going back to work but I'm glad that we've rekindled our friendship.... I'm sure there will be many more playdates in the future and hopefully plenty of "mommy's night out".
Today was my sister in laws birthday so we went to WoodFire for some BBQ. It was yummy, but I'm still feeling it... I am so damn full... as soon as we got home, I immediately went straight to the eliptical and started working out! Good Lord!! I need to lose some weight!! River season is coming up and I can't be looking like a damn butterball! So, here's to a new job (hopefully) and to losing some serious weight!

Words of the Day:

Aaron: poo poo (as he bends over and grabs his crotch)
Ryan: ARGH!!!! (with his right eye covered), and "oh yeah bebe"....

mondays....

OKay, so, I'm actually ahead of schedule today. I'm up and out of bed, ready to go, I've got one kid fed, the kitchen and downstairs is clean. I just have to get the boys bathed and ready to go. We have our first official playdate today with Reese and Garrett. I'm so looking forward to this. I wish I had gotten in touch with my old friend months ago. I could have been enjoying my time at home a bit more with the kids. I have come to realize that I do love being home with my kids. I just don't like being confined to my house with my kids. If we had a little more expendable cash for play time, life would be great and I could really enjoy the time at home with the boys. I talked to my hubby about it and we have made a verbal agreement that should we decide to open the company we have been talking about that may be a real possibility (for me to stay home). So, I'm really excited about that.

I am so not the risk taker in this family, never have been, never will be... but when my husband started talking about opening his own business, something just told me that it was the right thing to do. It has been eating at me for quite some time now. I have told him that he needs to pursue this and do it. It's the right thing, I can feel it. Like I said, this is sooo not me. I would never ask my hubby to jeopardize his VERY stable job of 7 years, especially when we have a mortgage! but, like I said, something in my heart is telling me that this is what he is supposed to do. I'll support him to do whatever it takes. I think this is the right move and if it means that I go back to work for awhile until its done, then so be it!! Speaking of which.... I received a call with a request to come in for a face to face interview tomm. I'm really stoked...they didn't even prescreen me, they skipped over all of those steps in protocall and called me in. I hope it goes well... if it does, it's going to be the end of my days at home with my favorite little people in the world. I'm going to be soooo heartbroken, but it will be better for all of us in the longrun (financially) until we can figure out this company thing for Hans.

well, I'd better head out, I've got to get the bugs ready for their playdate. :)

april....

Okay April, when did you get here and where has the time gone? I don't even know what has happened to me in the past week. I've been worrying about a good friend of mine who was screwed over by her business partner, I've been trying to find a job, I've been trying to reaquaint myself with old classmates, I've been trying to get my son to pee and poop in the toilet, it's never ending! I have no clue what has happened! Well, fast forward to today.... I'm still recuperating from the painting party I had (solo) at grandma's house for the past 2 Saturdays. It was nice to spend time with her, she gets a bit stressful at times, but what can I do? she's grandma! My hubby held down the fort and cleaned the house, the kids weren't bathed and were still wearing their pj's from the night before, but I guess I can't expect him to do it all... My hubby and I went to the anaheim boat show today with the boys, it sucked! what a waste of my $30. had I known it was going to suck, I would have suggested taking the boys to Disneyland instead and spending my money there.
It was Devin and Lauren's birthday, so we had a dinner party at moms tonight. Apparently dad was monitoring our drinking because he made mom drive us home.... LOL.... I think he was so worried about our drinking he forgot to watch his... he was so drunk and he was killing me!!! oh well, gotta love dad. So needless to say, we have a house guest tonight, poor mom. She threatened dad that he wasn't allowed to leave the house tonight, so we'll see what happens... he already called to make sure that she had a house key, he wasn't planning on waking up to let her in the house tommorow morning... LOL!! crazy dad. anyways, looking forward to meeting up with shaena and the kids tomm. Ryan and Reese have their playdate.... should be fun!

words of the day:

Ryan: Heck Yeah!, I am pooping...see my stomach, uuurrghh!! (as he sits on the toilet and grunts)

Aaron: uh mmm.
