The 18th!

Today is my husband's birthday. What's strange is that in exactly three months I will be 31. What's even MORE strange is that Gabby will be 2 in exactly 8 months. We were all born on the 18th. I started laughing when I was in labor with Gabby and told Brian how crazy it was that the three of us are born on the 18th. Then when we went to go get Gabby's birth certificate signed at the hospital the lady thought we had made a mistake on filling out the birthday's since Brian birthday is on 3/18, my birthday is on 6/18 and Gabby's birthday is on 11/18. She was like no honey you guys have to just fill in the BABY'S birthday on the birth certificate application. I said we did! We were just all born on the 18th! She looked at us crazy then she was like Ya'll are so cute. Strange how these things all work out.

Pimpin' ain't easy....

So it's official... Alyssa has not one but TWO boyfriends. Saturday night when Brian & I went to the Warriors game Corinna & Adrian came over to watch the girls with their nephews Elijah, Malachi and Issac. Well Issac was Alyssa's first boyfriend when they were around 3. Then he pushed her and that was the end of that. So then Paulie moved into the picture but Alyssa said "Mom we are just friends"


So anyway Issac comes over Saturday night (see above picture) and from what I hear they were dancing together to music in her room (along with the two other boys) and calling each other honey. So I asked Alyssa what was up with that??? I thought Paulie was her boyfriend. She said Paulie broke up with her. I don't think those were her exact words because I don't think she knows what broken up is!! But it was something to that effect.


Fast forward to Sunday... We invite Paulie over to play with Alyssa after church and before dinner started. So he comes home with us and in the car they were holding hands and played Polly Pockets together. They were getting chummy at dinner time too... (see above picture) so I think they are back together.... Now here is Alyssa's dilemma... Elijah's 6th birthday party is on Saturday and both boys will be there. Which one will she choose???

Brian's Birthday Weekend!

We had yet another crazy weekend.

Thursday night - Mexican food with my chicks and our kids. They hate us at that restaurant. We always leave a mess and they never bring us enough chips and salsa.

Best friends forever: Stacy's daughter Amber, Alyssa and Jeneca's daughter Triniti.







Friday I watched Jade (America's daughter) her and Alyssa played while I cleaned. I love watching Jade because Alyssa gets so bored at home and she had someone to play Barbie's with. No pictures I was busy cleaning the house, lol!

Saturday day Stacy and I signed up Alyssa & Amber for Pee-Wee soccer. Alyssa can not wait to play. Then I drug Stacy with me to watch my sister play her first Little League game. Thanks Stacy! Later that night Brian and I went to the Warriors game... where they won... barely!! Note to self: Eat before the game... a bottle of Pepsi was FIVE DOLLARS!!!


Sunday after church we celebrated Brian's 31st birthday at our favorite restaurant with some friends!! We are getting OLD!! Gabby stayed behind with Auntie Abi & Uncle Aaron so we could eat a hot meal.



Brian's wish (very loudly so all of our friends could hear) after he blew out the candles was for a baby boy!!! LOL!! Silly rabbit didn't he know if you said your wish aloud that it wouldn't come true?

It never fails... Part 2

It never fails:

• As soon as I give the baby a bath she poops.
• As soon as I sit down to eat a hot meal someone is A. Done with their plate B. Decides to poop C. Needs something else (more food/drink) D. Runs to the bathroom and yells MOMMY wipe me after they are done pooping E. The phone rings/someone knocks on the door.
• That when my house is sparkling clean and no one will stop by for days but when my house is disaster everyone and their mom shows up unexpectedly.
• As soon as I sit down to watch TV while the kids are up someone starts crying.
• As soon as I sit down to watch my shows on TIVO Brian decideds that right now is a good time for a conversation or the phone rings.
• When I decide to take both girls out on a shopping trip to Costco or Target the baby throws a fit and has me rushing to get out of there and sweating profusely.
• When we are done shopping at Costco/Target with just me and the girls the baby poops and I have to change her and hold her while trying to wash my hands because you can not take your cart into the bathrooms and she still isn't walking.
• When a nice weekend comes along and we have plans someone gets sick.
• When I am on the phone Alyssa and Brian suddenly need my attention and need me to answer a question that second.
• As soon as I clean my house Brian decides to leave his socks and pajamas all over the place.
• When I am running ON TIME for work I can not find a shoe, toothbrush or keys.

My Purse.

Before kids it used to be so sacred. It was something that used to hold only MY stuff. But when cleaning out my purse today while I was bored at work I found the following:

A wand – From Kaile’s birthday party.
Fake Cinderella earrings.
Chocolate candy at the bottom of my purse. Thank goodness it hasn’t been hot. That could have gotten messy.
A See’s lollipop.
Cinderella chapstick.
Ticket stubs to Disney on Ice.
Wipes from High School Musical on Ice. That we went to in OCTOBER.

This goes to show you that when you are a Mom you need to clean your purse out more often AND realize your purse is a kids crap magnet!!!
What makes this worse is Brian always asks me to hold things in my purse and I end up carrying around 15 pounds worth of stuff! I am just going to start wearing a fanny pack!!

Alyssa and the Easter Bunny.

Well it looks like Alyssa is having fun in Redding with Brian. She saw the Easter Bunny today at the mall up there with Brian and her grandma. She must have been really happy to see the Easter Bunny because she has a huge smile on her face.
Gabby misses Alyssa... I willl say "Where is Sissy??" and she will look around for her. Although I think she was a little happy to play with her Little People in peace. Alyssa always seems to take over when Gabby starts to play with them. Tonight they come home and I can not wait! Even though they have been gone for a day and a half that is too long for me!

Busy Weekend!!

Friday 10 am - Disney On Ice with America & Jade, my cousin Dolores & her daughter Catherine

80 dollars of merchandise plus 15 dollars for parking later.....

Friday 7 pm - Dinner at Benihana's with the family:

Saturday 10:45 - Erika's dance recital


Saturday 12:45 - Kaile's 1st Birthday party. I could not believe how big the "kids" are... where has time gone??

Saturday 2:30 - Jade's 3rd Birthday party


Today we had church and Brian left with Alyssa to Redding until tomorrow night. His brother had court tomorrow and he wanted to be there for him. His cousin also owns a tattoo shop up there and Brian is going to get a tattoo covered up. So it's just me and Gabby until tomorrow night. It's kind of lonely here without the two of them, I even have the TV on Disney Channel just to pretend Alyssa is here. Gabby and I went to the mall where she had a fit if the stroller wasn't moving because it was nap time. Can I just say I HATE going to Southland on the weekends?? GHETTO!! So I got what I needed and now we are home. I am supposed to go to a baby shower at 4:30 but I am just so spent from this weekend I think we are going to just settle in for the night... even though the weather is GORGEOUS outside... my car said it was 72 degrees?!?!? Next up... Brian's birthday weekend!! 31 WOO WOO!!!
