Wordless Wednesday

We are full wedding planning mode. =}

#2

I love this little boy so much. I can't believe he is already 2.

A few things he is into....

-watching the Sandlot (Squints getting into "deep shit" is his favorite part)

-watching Fu Panda (Kung Fu Panda)

-puppies...he wants a dog so bad...although yesterday he did ask for a sister. I told him when he gets a puppy we will name her sister.

-He still loves his horsie movie (Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron)

-Loves going to the corrals with his Tata to see his horsie Viper

-Loves playing with Fitz & Bert

-Favorite phrase "wha you doing?" and "Idon want to"

-watching Glee and singing along...it's the cutest damn thing. He gets our Guitar Hero guitars and just jamms out. His favorite episodes are when they sing New York and One Love. We watch them over and over and over....The boy loves him some Bob Marley. Yep, that's my kid!

I'll be back soon to post more pictures of his baseball party.

Finally!

After 2 years of being on this earth...we got all 4 boys together under one roof.

Me and my 3 besties all had babies within a month of eachother. It was an awesome experience...and so not planned. A beautiful story I will have to share in the future.

This weekend we were all in the same place at the same time and totally planned. I had them all over to my little casita for breakfast. It's hard to have a converstion with 4 toddlers in the house...boy toddlers. But boy was it fun to see them interact with eachother.

Monica and lil E stayed the night so we had this action going on while we were trying to make breakfast.

Yeah, my son is the one that looks totally guilty. "I did it...whatcha gonna do about it"

B welcomed everyone in by shooting them...Thanks Tata Al for the gun. That got put away very soon after. (terrible picture, sorry)

And here they are all 4 of them playing. The only picture I have of just all 4 of them. Hoping my friends got better pictures with their cameras. Note to self...next time take pictures as soon as everyone arrives not when they are leaving (nap time).Finally here we all are: Steph & R (Oct 29), Cel & A(Nov 13), Me & B (Nov 20) & Monica & E (Nov 28)

Love these girls & boys...can't wait to do it again. We all live in different cities and states so it is very difficult for us to all get together. Hopefully it won't take another 2 years.

Simple Dinner

Last night I didn't feel like making dinner. The night before I had made spaghetti and still had some left-over sauce and ground turkey. I found this recipe online yesterday and thought it was perfect for a quick simple dinner. I was afraid P wouldn't like it, he's a little picky. It's better when he doesn't watch me make things. He was out mowing the lawn. So I hid all the evidence before he came in. All he saw was toasted sandwhiches. The verdict...he really liked them. He had no idea I used the left-overs. It's hard to find things to make for dinner so I'm glad I can add this to my list. I'm going to try and make those whoopie pies this weekend. I'll let you know how that goes.
I've been finding lots of great food ideas online lately. Two weeks ago I made these for the little boy. He loved them. We all did. And they taste just like Cheez-Its. I will for sure be making these again....when it cools down a bit here in AZ. Hate putting the oven on in the summer time.
It's Friday!!

10 Things-Boy Edition

10} He always has to have Momma's attention.

9} He is still sleeping with his parents....and has no intention of sleeping in his own bed...just ask him....he says no every time.

8} We discovered he loves figs and carne asada this weekend.

7} He might have a new babysitter soon...We'll find out Saturday.

6} He loves his monkey so much.

(an oldie but I love his little face)

5} He loved going to the corrals with my dad and seeing all the horses, chickens, bunnies & cows. We might have a cowboy on our hands.

4} He's still saying bad words...F word is his favorite...every once in a while he will throw a damn it in there. When I scold him for saying the F word...he says "momma...faaaa...faaaa...faaa...."

The boy mocks me!!! How do I not laugh at that. I'm a bad mom...I know!

3} His latest thing is coloring. It last about 2 minutes then he tosses all the crayons all over the living room. Artists!

2} Every night before we go to bed he has to watch a video of my cousins dog, Chito. She was so nice to send it to us. He loves puppies and really loves Chito.

1} His new favorite word/phrase....Gaaaaleeeee (interperated: Golly). Usually said when something doesn't go his way. Better than the above words {4}.

10 things

• New piece of furniture at an excellent price makes me so very happy.
• Humidity + curly hair= no bueno
• I have seen Shrek & Shrek 2 way too many times. I am starting to quote lines...and think I'm funny.
• Garden is looking real sad, maybe next year will be better.
• Iced Chai tea is addicting.
• Did I mention I am loving my new piece of furniture? Now to fill the China cabinet with some pretties.
• Lots of changes at work. Not good or bad just changes. Trying to not be scared...just roll with the punches.
• Need to get the boy to sleep in his own bed.
• Birthday party planning is in full swing.
• Pull my finger/Fart jokes make my Sonny very happy, which makes me laugh the most. That boy kills me!

4th of July-Weekend Update

We decided last minute to head to California for the 4th. So grateful for Uncle Ted, Carmen & Nic for letting us just pop in when we need a break from the AZ heat.

We go there at 10 PM on Friday night and headed home at 10 AM on Monday morning. Of course the only day I took pictures was on the 4th...during the day.
We woke up and headed to Santa Monica Pier...so here we go with the pictures.


Brandon sitting at the top of the stairs with Misty...I'm pretty sure Misty was trying to hide from him.

Brandon chasing Misty all over the front yard. Poor Puppy!

Nic, Brandon (too cool to look at camera) & I on the Pier.

Brandon finally tired of sporting the shades.

I love this boy so much. I can't wait to really spend the day at the beach with him. He wasn't really digging the waves this time. Hopefully next summer.
