Fun in the Snow

This weekend we surprised the boys and took them tubing. It was so much fun!! Trey is a true daredevil, he was only nervous the first time he went down the big hill and then there was no looking back. Jordan on the other hand was not so sure about the big hills, he would make it up about half way and then decide he would be o.k. (I always forget he is afraid of heights).. Nick loved every minute of the day, we took him down some pretty big hills, and now looking back on it I have no idea what we were thinking. Here is a video of Jordan and me going down the hill together, I love the very end of the video when Trey goes after Jordan's tube (of course he has one of his own, but he is a true brother and has to drive Jordan crazy)!!!!

Thanks mom

We took the kids to my moms house for the day and Willie and I got to go out to lunch and a movie KID FREE, yes this was a small miracle for us. We went to Olive Garden for lunch, it was so nice not to have to speed eat and we also got to watch the Bucket List (a non Disney movie), it was a good day, thanks to my mom!!! Nick had so much fun with my mom and he did not want to leave!!! And did I mention how much Nick loves grandma's car!!!

Willie just called me and said he got us tickets to go to the Kenny Chesney: Poets and Pirates Tour, yippie I am so excited. The concert is going to be at the Phoenix Stadium and Kenny is bringing Keith Urban (he is so freaking hot) and Leann Rimes. Last night at work someone asked me what Willie's hobbies are beside playing raquetball, I had to think about that one for a minute. I came up with watching sports, playing fantasy football, and exercising. Then I thought about my hobbies which are; scrapbooking and taking pictues, later I realized that the list really is not that long for both us. But, I told my co-worker that my kids are our hobbies and that we spend are time with them doing things together as a family! Speaking of kids I just love this picture of Trey and Jordan, it was takin on our campout last summer. I just love Trey's smile and how Jordan is smashing Trey's ear forward.

Did I mention that I cut my hair short, and then I went back a week later and got it cut even shorter. This is just not like me, but I love my new cut. I'll post a picture of my new hair-do soon.

XOXOXO

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Jordan got off to school with valentines cards and treat bags in hand but Trey is to big for these things now a days BOO HOO!! Nick will be going to daycare today so he picked out some Diego cards for his friends. Willie got me a bouqet of roses, which I love!!! This year I decided to get the boys a cd instead of tons of candy and junk, Jordan will be getting Alvin and the chipmunks and Trey is getting the Simpsons.

Jordan suprised me with "mom are you going to do a scavenger hunt again this year", when we lived in Nevada and I had nothing to do I planned a scavenger hunt for the boys on valentines day. It's funny the things kids remember so if I have enough time before work I will try to come up with something.

Don't you just love the free desktop calendar I found on Shabby Miss Jeans http://shabbymissjenndesigns.com/goodies/goodies.html . I have been thinking about getting back into scrapbooking and so I have been leaning towards digital scrapbooking and thats when I found Shabby Miss Jean's site. Love it....

Yesterday school was cancelled because of snow and O-how the boys were excited. I think this is the most Trey has ever played in the snow, in the past I think he was just to skinny and would freeze the minute he would step outside. Today school did not start until 9:30 and I could not wait to get the boys back to school, however they were trying to convince me it was cancelled again NICE TRY.

Let's see after the major holiday at our house (SUPER BOWL) last night the boys were full of cafeinee and disappointment. Let me explain the dissappointment part. Jordan wanted to bet Willie on the game and Willie kept telling him that betting is not really a forsure thing and it can have bad consequences. Well Jordan kept pursisting and so finally Willie gave in, the BET was 10 marbels (we use marbels at our house as a reward system, a certain amount of marbles can be exchanged for things like playing the playstation). SO 10 marbles was a pretty hefty wager, Jordan was going for the Patriots and Willie was routing for the underdogs the Giants. All through the game Jordan was convinced that he was going to win and if you watched the game it all came down to the last couple of minutes. Well the Giants won and Jordan lost 10 marbles. Long story short Jordan lost and had a huge melt down, I'm sure this will be one Super Bowl he will never forget.

Before I go I need to check off fixing the garbage disposal from my to do list!

This one is a long story but we did it by ourselves, and I am a firm believer in

You can do anything you but your mind to!!!!
