day 26: Yippie, My sisters graduation day from beauty school.






day 25: Trey spent the weekend working on an extra credit project for his science class. That is the planet Uranus your looking at in the picture. The extra credit consisted of picking a planet to make a model of an giving a brief summary of that planet. Well of course Trey Picked Uranus!










day 23: Trey had his play tonight and he did an awesome job!!! O.k. I know I must be a bad mom when I didn't realize how big his part was, he was the wolf in a short play about red riding hood and her red cape. Trey and little red riding hood were the two main characters and they both did a great job.









day 21: This is what I found peeking out through the ground today!! Yep these are the tulips I planted in the fall.





day 20: We got a new hot water heater... we got a new hot water heater... we got a new hot water heater.... I just can't stop signing that song. Wow, you never really don't know what you have sometimes until its gone, and then you get it back and you realize this is how everyone else lives. Yippie, I love love love taking showers for as long as I want now or until Nick decides he is taking a shower with me.




day 17: There was a moment I know I saw it, if only it was for a few seconds there was a moment between these two brothers, ha ha. I think I actually I saw Trey care about his brother for a few seconds and I got it on film, lol.





While I was at the parks and rec. department I picked up an area map of the hiking trails around town, so with the map we decided to go for a hike on Saturday. Nick loved holding the map and telling us which direction to go.


day 14: I went to sign Jordan up for basketball at the parks and rec's department and we just couldn't leave without seeing the ducks and running up and down the hill and few hundred times, lol.





day 11: All I have to say is that Nick is the LUCKIEST little boy to have Willie for a dad. Super Nick, flying shoes, and hands that shoot juice, these are the words and games that Nick and Willie play together. I really have to sit back sometimes and watch these two play their games it is the cutest and funniest thing that I have ever seen.

day 10: Video games, endless amounts of quarters, and Pizza!! Every other weekend we try to take the kids out for lunch, this has been our new favorite placeDay 9: Yep, those are my running shoes!! As part of my new year's resolution I decided to get myself a gym membership. I really want to start making the most out of every day and so I thought if I wake up early go to the gym and then make breakfast for the kids this will help me accomplish alot. I am keeping my fingers crossed we will see how it goes!
day 7: I just love this picture of Nick's butt hanging out of his p.j.'s. I took this picture during a much needed haircut. I never really realized how red Nick's hair was until I saw all of his newly cut hair on my black chair, wow what a huge contrast!!


day 6: I found this amaryllis on clearence at wal-mart today and I thought it would be a fun project for the boys to help me plant it. I never really knew how easy it was to plant bulbs indoors. I thought I would give some paperwhites a try after I saw them in a magazine so I have them planted in clear containers all through the house and I can't wait to see how they do.
day 5: Yeah! The kids went back to school today. Actually, the 2 week Christmas break really flew by so fast.

Happy New Year

Project 365


I decided I would participate in this super cool idea for the new year. Here is my first picture, it was taken at my sisters new year's eve party. After we counted down the seconds to the new year I kissed my hubby and then I found this party hat, I thought it would be a great picture to start off my project.



We had so much fun at my sis's party the theme was famous couples, duos, or pairs. It took us forever to decided on our costumes. Our top three were Al & Peg Bundy (Married with children), Nacho Libre and the nun, Ricky Bobby and his wife (Talladega Nights). I had to have Melissa help us decide on our final choice, which was Nacho libre. I really can't believe my hubby wanted to be this, but we got tons of laughs at the party.






























Willie could only wear the mask for the first 5 minutes, luckily I got him to put it back on so I could get a picture of him, of course the wig had to go on top of the mask. I guess I can't blame my hubby I could only wear my headpiece for a little while as well. Here's a picture of my sister and her hubby they went as Ron Burgundy and Veronica Corningston from the move Anchorman. I think they pulled it off really well. I wished I would have gotten a picture of all the couples at the party, I missed Joe dirt and Brandy, Billy Madison and the pretty teacher, and Cher.









































I loved Sonny Bono he was in full ski gear he had the ski boots, poles, helmet, goggles, and blood on his face. I really liked John McCain and Sara Palin, this guy went

all out he had his hair bleached that day and he had lines shaved into his hair so it would look like he had a receding hair line.
























Day 2 in my project 365

Our dryer went out 2 days before Christmas (love that) so we ran to Sears and found this front loading washer and dryer set. The boys just love to sit in front of them and watch the washer and dryer do their magic, its better than t.v.



We made a quick trip to phoenix to let the boys spend some of their Christmas money. Willie dropped Nick and I off at Tempe market place and he took the boys to the mall. Nick just loved this cute little magnet set inside the dressing room at Old Navy.


Jordan's teacher gave him a pet rock for Christmas, so Jordan decided he needed to make a friend for his rock.
