Run Away!!!!

2010-01-19T12:21:00.000-08:00

So I have a funny story for all who look at my blog, well it was not funny and the time but now looking back I cant believe the things kids do. So a couple Sundays ago we were all at my moms for dinner like we do every Sunday and some of the people decided to go on a bike ride. Well let just say Brooklynne really wanted to go but she didn't have her bike or scooter with us so we were joking with her to drive daddy's truck home and get her bike. Well in the mean time everyone left and graham and I went back to doing what we were doing. About 20 minutes later my brother Casey came over and he asked me if I knew where my daughter was I said she is watching a movie up stairs however she wasn't he said i was wrong that he had just picked her up on azalea if you don't know where that is it is quite a ways from my moms house. My daughter was apparently walking home to get her bike. I was SO mad at her because it scared my so bad thank goodness my brother came when he did and that the family dog was watching over her. Lets just say she is not out of my site for to long now

Savannah rocks it out

2010-01-18T12:30:00.000-08:00

All I have to say is thanks nana. Nana's are always good for noise making toys. But she does love it i get to listen to her and Brooklynne rock it out

Christmas in Santa Cruz

2010-01-14T19:43:00.001-08:00

We sent Christmas this year in Santa Cruz with Graham's sister Maya. We had such a great time. Great food and Christmas day it was like 70 degrees outside it was beautiful we ever walk to the beach and threw the football around. The kids got all kinds of gifts but the best gift of the day had to be my trip to Hawaii that Graham surprised me with, I am so excited to go he even arranged babysitting. We are set to leave February 7 i am so lucky. But all in all Christmas was great

My KIddos

2009-09-21T18:40:00.000-07:00

It has been a while. Life is crazy with two girls and i cant imagine having a third right now. Brooklynne has started another year at CDL up at HSU and she loves it. She isn't so fond of waking up at seven every morning though she is like her mother we like our sleep. Savannah is still my wild child but I love her not a day goes by when she hasn't done something nut so. Like for instant she is going through my credit cards saying money. Gotta love it starting so early. Well it is time for Savannah to go to bed so i will try to update tomorrow some more

Up date!

2009-06-08T15:16:00.000-07:00

Wow I cant believe how long it has been since I have Blogged. Life has been a world wind lately. I just realize that it is already the second week in June. Life lately has been a roller coaster, we lost Grahams mom in April and it has been hard getting back to every day things missing her. Brooklynne prays for her every night that heavenly father will take care of her and i am so glad that I know she is in a much better place.
On a little bit better note Brooklynne is getting to be a little sassy girl. She loves to sass me all the time and tell me that i am not the boss of her. She also ask me why I am her mom and who is the boss of mommy.
Savannah is Savannah wild as every. Everyone wonders why I am not pregnant yet well baby monster is the reason, She is into everything all the time it is hard to keep up with her sometimes I wish I had her energy.

Before

After

Graham finished our kitchen this last weekend and I love it. I practically have a brand new house with all the work we have done. The kitchen was the last big project, we put in granite counters and replace and painted all the cabinets. What a huge difference it makes I love my house now. Not that I hated it before but the kitchen was 20 yrs old and it totally looked it. Tell me what you think

Rascal Flatts!

2009-03-16T19:09:00.000-07:00

Tasha and I got to go to a Rascal Flatts concert in Utah a few weeks back for Tasha's Birthday. We had so much fun. We had the best seats ever they were right in front of the stage. We were so close I even got to shake the lead singers hand. Totally Fun Thanks Tash for inviting me

Time out!

2009-01-30T08:16:00.000-08:00

The other day Brooklynne came home from pre-school and was in such a bad mood. All she was doing was whining and not obeying. So she went to time out. Five minutes later I went to check on her and this is what I found.

Happy Anniversary

2009-01-16T16:31:00.000-08:00

Today Graham and I celebrate our sixth year wedding anniversary. Wow I can't believe that I have been married that long, it just seem like yesterday I was getting ready to marry the man of my dreams. Now I have two beautiful daughters and life couldn't be better. I feel so lucky to have such a wonderful husband don't get me wrong he is not perfect but neither am I but we make it work. I hope I have many more happy anniversaries with Graham he is truly my sole mate, and maybe a few more kids just don't tell Graham.

Twilight!!!!!

2008-11-09T20:51:00.000-08:00

OK so I finally decide to read the twilight book series, with everyone saying how good they were and with the movie coming out I just felt the urge to read them. So I started reading on 10/29 got the books from Hannah. Well lets just say I finish all four books by 11/6 it took me alittleover a week to read all four. I could not put them down! I would read when my kids took naps and then after they went to bed. I would read until 1 or 2 in the morning. Lets just say I love the books! That might be an understatement. Anyway I can't wait for the movie. I just seen the extended trailer and I am now counting down the days to Nov 21. If they have a Midnight showing on the 20 I will be there. If anyone hasn't read the books yet read them they are awesome.

Dress Up

2008-10-02T10:57:00.000-07:00

Summer came over last week after school a few times. Everyday the girls played dress up and made Savannah and I dinner. They had so much fun.

I

Good Bye Summer!

2008-09-22T18:19:00.000-07:00

I am so sad that this summer has already come to an end. We didn't get much lake time this year due to all the fires and smoke. This summer has flown by and now we are into Autumn, its so sad. I hope next year will be different.

1st Day of School!

2008-09-16T09:16:00.001-07:00

Brooklynne started her first day of pre-school a couple of weeks ago. She loves school and her teacher. She also has Mazey and Summer from church in her class. She goes 2.5 hrs a day Monday through Thursday. I love it. Only having one child at home for a few hours is great not only that but Brooklynne goes to bed now a 7:00 because she doesn't get a nap its great.

Sleeping Savannah

2008-08-23T13:16:00.000-07:00

The girls and I went to the lake this last weekend. This was one of Savannah's nap times. I went to check on her and she was sitting up sleeping. I thought it was cute.

My Worst Nightmare!

2008-08-21T18:47:00.000-07:00

So today I was at the mall yes our sweet mall here in Eureka and I promised Brooklynne that if she was good I would let her play at the slides. So we went to the slides and I let her out, I watched her get on the slide and then I yelled to her that mommy was going to get some cookies which no joke were two feet away. Needless to say by the time I got to the cookie stand I turned around and could not see Brooklynne on the slide any where. I began to freak out I ran up to the slides to make sure she wasn't just hiding from me but she wasn't. One look at me and all the moms at the slides jumped up and were asking me if I was looking for some one. I said yes my little girl, she was wearing a pink shirt and jeans and white shoes. One mom pointed she went that way. I was in tears by then standing in the middle of the mall. I took off running the way the mom pointed then I remembered I had Savannah in the stoller still at the cookie stand. So I seen my neighbor kid and he stayed with Savannah while I took off running again. I made it to where gap used to be and I saw a security guard. I ran up to him and before I could say anything he asked if i was looking for a little girl. I said yes he said we have her. She walk up a few minutes later holding one of the security person's hand. They then told me they had found her by the food court and asked her if she was lost and she said yes with a smile. I could have killed her but all I could do was hug her and tell her never leave mommys side again. What a day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I felt like the worst mom ever I lost my little girl

Old Mans Softball!

2008-07-04T11:25:00.000-07:00

Graham plays in a softball league in Arcata. It is slow pitch softball so I tease him all the time that it is old mans softball he gets so mad, I think its pretty funny. Craig and Joe Lindgren play on the same team so there are lots of kids for Brooklynne to play with. Brooklynne loves going to the softball games.

Brooklynne & Makynna

2008-06-28T11:02:00.000-07:00

Makynna was over the other night and her and Brookynne spent the hour making Graham and I Dinner. They actually got along this time they usually fight like cats and dogs, Brooklynne is usually the instigator but don't get me wrong Kynna can hold her own

Summer Time!!

2008-06-23T10:58:00.000-07:00

It's that time of year again when the weather is nice and our family is at Trinity Lake. My sister and her four kids, my sister-in-law and her son, my parents, little sister and my two rug rats just spent a few days at the lake. It was beautiful , nice and warm. The kids had a blast. And the water wasn't all that bad I actually got in on Friday. We had the houseboat park in Covington ware it was nice and flat so the kids could throw rocks. It's a kid thing it started with Tasha's oldest Jake and has continued to be a hit with all the kids. The only bad thing it was really muddy and I don't really have crappy clothes for Brooklynne to destroy, and up there kids destroy clothes with the red dirt, it never comes out.

We are planning on returning to the lake soon for 4th of July. I can't believe it is next week! I'm looking forward to seeing friends that don't live here. It should be fun. Lets just hope it doesn't rain or thunder and lightening, I will tell that story some other time.

Santa Cruz Trip

2008-06-23T10:28:00.000-07:00

We went to Santa Cruz for Maya, Graham's sister's College Graduation it was a blast. We were however expecting it to be hot and it was a little chilly but we still had fun. We got to see both of Graham's grandmothers, one lives in Atlanta and the other in Los Alamos so we don't see them very often.

We stayed at this house that over looked the ocean it was so nice. All and all we had a great time. Congrats again to Maya on graduating College.

We were over at Tasha's house last night and I finally got my act together and started up my blog. These are my two girls Brooklynne and Savannah. Brooklynne has to play dress up everytime we go to Tasha's so this is Lex's ballet recital costume, she wore it until we left.

Savannah is my lovey baby she likes to be held all of the time it sometimes is hard when I'm trying to clean house, but I always said I wanted a cuddle bug.
