so much to do and so little time!

My Life has gotten so crazy!!!! The days seem to just fly by! Like today, meeting at school 8:oo, go home feed Jordan breakfast, try to get him to take a nap. CLEAN WHILE HE NAPS, go to broulim's , come home make cupcakes, go pick up boys from school, help them with homework, go pick up Tianna, help her with home work. Take dallen to baseball practice and brandon, who have practice at the same but have practice at two different fields, then i pick them up rush home try to feed them and then rush out to scouts for pack night, then get home bathe them and try to get them in bed by 9 and then I pass out! So life as we know it is crazy! We eat, sleep, and breathe base ball. WHAT A LIFE!!!!

It wasn't easy....................but it was worth it!

 So the long battle that I have had with the school system has come to an end! This morning I had a meeting at the middle school, that resulted in Tianna getting on an IEP. An IEP is extra help for the subjects she struggles in and special things they will allow her to do to relieve her anxiety, like no more timed testing. Taking tests in a quiet room, just things like that. I am extremely greatful to Tianna's teacher who saw that my Tianna was extremely bright and just needed more accomadations to help her succeed! I am very thankful!

Brandon's America program

Brandon did such a great job!

we are so proud of him!

he really had a great time!

Love my big boy!

This little stinker stole the show!!!

  Jordan was dancing the whole time and everyone just loved it even the kids in the program, would clap for his dancing! wish I would have recorded it, but I think brandon would have been upset if i didn't record his program! What a little monkey, even Brandon said " Jordan stole the show" Brandon did an awesome job and we are super duper proud him!

80's day at middle school!

It was 80's day for Tianna today! She was so excited! I told her that is how I used to do my hair. She thought she looked amazing! All her friends dressed up too. They had a really good time!

Jordan and Breakfast

eating sunday breakfast! yummy!

he loves eggs with ketchup!

he has to do it all by his self!

I told him to smile, that didn't work.

he loves eggs, notice he didn't touch his pancake!

This was him after he finished! What a cute little mess!

I can't begin to tell you all the ketchup that I have to clean up on a daily basis! Jordan manages to get food everywhere! I find little gifts all over the kitchen and house of food he is eating and left for me to find!! I had forgotten how food seems to get in every crack and crevace! The absolute joys of toddlers!!!!!

fighting, fighting, fighting........................punishment

So Ernesto and I have became very tired of our kids constant fighting and teasing! We have tried everything and absolutely nothing works. As they get older it is becoming more and more difficult to discipline them. They are such amazing kids! However, it seems they don't seem to understand one of the most important commandments love one another! So for all of you who look at my blog I am truly sorry that you have to see these pics, but maybe if people know how my kids treat one another, they will think before they beat each other up!

Jordan and books

Jordan loves to look at books, he spends alot of time reading with me. He loves boys that have animals in them! I love being able to spend my day doing whatever Jordan wants to do! 

12 years!

It was 12 years ago that I married the man of my dreams, We have an amazing time together, he has a great personality, and keeps me laughing!  He works so hard for our family, and I am so proud of him. We have an eternal family and we are very blessed. I love my prince charming!

MY MOM

          Mother's Love
                               
Her love is like an island

In life's ocean, vast and wide

A peaceful, quiet shelter

From the wind and rain and tide

Tis bound on the north by hope,

By patience on the west

By tender counsel on the south

And on the east by rest

Above it like a beacon light

Shine faith, and truth, and prayer,

And through the changing scenes of life,

I find a haven there

When I read this I think of my mom and how she is my island, always there for me, to listen and give advice, but mostly to love unconditionally. What a great blessing she is in my life, I know in heaven I chose her to be my mother.  I thank my Father in Heaven for such an amazing mom! She is just not my mom, but also my dearest friend!! We have many great memories to look back on, and I hope as my children grow and become the amazing adults i know they will be, I hope they will look back on thier childhood and me as thier Mom and be able to have great memories! Mom, I love you!!! I hope that you have an amazing Birthday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!

The kids with thier pot of gold

The little leprecahn left his prints everywhere!!

Jordan sure did enjoy the gold coins!!

Jordan trying to figure out the footprints

some more mess that the leprecahn made!

That leprecahn, I don't know how he does it but every year he is able to get in our house and create a chaos! I think that next year we are going to set a trap to try and catch him!!! We always lock the doors but he always seems to get in. He makes such a big mess, with his prints everywhere and dropping all his gold coins all over the house. He even leaves a big pot of gold that is filled with chocolate to ruin the kids teeth! We will catch him next year!!!!

vomiting, and diarhea, and strep throat, and stomach virus, oh my!!!!!!!!!
