HAHAHAHAH I AM A STUDENT AGAIN!!! WEIRD!

I am running AWAY!!!

So Belle had to use the restroom and we were in the car so I whipped out a diaper and she used that... She was not happy to use a diaper. We got home and I went out back to sweep the porch forgetting she had a diaper still on. Belle was climbing a tree and she said, "Mom can you take this diaper off?" Being a good Mom I should have said oh yeah Belle come on... BUT... I said, "Hold on Belle let me finish and I will change you!"

BELLE GOT MAD

Belle started yelling random things that made no sense and pacing back a forth...

I kept sweeping while watching her with my eyes popping open wondering.... what in the world is happening!???

Then out of no where Belle yells.... "AHHHHHHHH I can't stand you, Ahhh I want a new life a new Mother, I am leaving I am running away.... I am out of here...."

Being a good mother I should have just gone up hugged her and got the diaper off... BUT instead I said, "Well do you want to pack your things up and take them or are you just leaving??"

She glared at me and yelled, "I AM JUST LEAVING... GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!"

and she left.... walked out of the back yard and up the street. I just let her... Of course I followed her without her seeing me. She ended up running to our front door pounding on it screaming,"MOM, MOM, MOM... You open this door!!"  I was standing not to far behind so if she were to turn around she would see me. She kept ringing the door bell and then, she turned around and saw me.... She ran and hid at the neighbors door. I don't even know how to describe how I was feeling... I wanted to laugh, cry, laugh, call for her, cry, laugh.... it was a mess!!! But I just stood there holding Paige and Cash was clinging to my leg saying, "She is craaazy!" Hahah

Belle finally started sobbing.... She ran to me and hugged me. Hugged me for a long time....With tears pouring down her face she cried, "I never want a new Mommy, I want you and I love you. I never will run away again. I'm sorry Mama!!!" We hugged and I said. "I love you too Belle... how about we go take that diaper off!!! She smiled and the day went on!!!

Haahaa I love you Belle!!!

Valentines 2013

I don't know if you can tell but I LOVE holidays... any reason to celebrate I am all for it!! I especially love Valentines day... Yes we love each other everyday BUT... not everyday can we go crazy and spoil each other with pure LOVE!!! hahah So Belle got invited to a friends house the day before Valentines to Cash and I while Paige was sleeping had a sugar cookie date! Man is Cash a huge helper... He could probably make the whole dough, roll them out, cut out the shapes, and bake them if I let him! He likes to see how much flour he can get on himself! We had such a great time together...

Then Valentines arrived and Cupid came which the kids know it's me and they know I do it because they say "You just love us!!!" You better believe it! So we spent the rest of the day babysitting and playing outside with sooo many kids! We came home and had heart shaped pizzas and fruit... And decorated the cookies Cash and I made.

Later after the kids went to bed I spent the rest of the night with Monkey Man the love of my life!!! He made  lamb Kebabs holy delicious...with a candle light dinner that I decorated with my trying to be creative ideas!! When I walked in the kitchen at first though Monkey had the table decked out with 100 things he loved about me... I am not a cheesy person haha I LOVED IT!!!

Valentines was so great... The play dough cracked me up. He did the arrow with my hands and I did the heart! So funny! We had to do something Valentine-ish and he made a teddy bear and a flower and I made cupid! Nights like these will for reals never be forgotten!!! I love you Monkey!

8 months!

Weighing at 23 pounds... Paige is now 8 months... What do I say about this ball of delight??? She is quite the lady! Paige is happy, darling, getting use to people who is not her Mom, eating everything she can get to, and sleeps so well. Lately though Paige is braking out her top 4 bottom and top teeth so all eight at once... so our nights for the past week have been Paige waking up screaming every 30mins- 1 hour! Poor lady. Paige had gotten a bit of a attitude! If she doesn't get what she wants when she wants.... she will scream out of control. If someone takes her toy she will soon get it back cause she scares whoever took it and they immediately give it back! Paige LOVES toys! She also LOVES water!!! Bath time is her favorite time. She rolls all over the place and is trying to get on her knees. She says Mama and Dada really well. MAA MA MA MA when she is mad or really needs me. Daa da da da when she is happy and having fun!!! haha RUDE! She waves bye bye and loves Music!!! When it comes on she can hardly contain herself. Her whole body looks as if she is going into convulsions. She stays on her tummy and head bangs... for real... to the music. She is starting to really play right now. She rolls towards me and screams in a high pitch scream yelling DA DA DA DA DA over and over while laughing... and rolls the other way before I can get her... she does this over and over!!! HAHA it is hilarious! Paige is so different from Belle and Cash, she is so much more serious and really watches what is going on around her. She likes to slap! Especially my face or Cash's probably cause it makes Cash laugh than she laughs!... or her favorite thing to do... it feels like... is she grabs that snot out of my lower lip and growls and won't let go! Thats fun!!! Paige sticks her tongue out constantly! She is always chewin on it. It reminds me of my brother Luke!!! Paige gets really mad if no one is paying attention to her. Especially Belle... She loves and laughs at Belle the most. She loves to be outside!!! But mostly watching Belle and Cash ride bikes. She seems to be most entertained when the rush by her. She laughs so hard. Man this little girl is so precious! I can't handle it! For her 8 month day celebration, of course Monkey was gone till 7pm and then had to study till who knows when... so we left... and yes... we went to the beach again... And boy were we much happier than when we left after we spent the day at the beach!

I love you so much Paige!

My boy is 3 and I am simply dying about it... Cash was very precise in how he wanted his birthday to go...

Me-"So Biscuit (the name he will only let me call him) do you want a boy party or a friend party?"

Cash- "NO"

Me-"No!!! ok do you want to have a picnic and have friends play at the park?"

Cash-"NO"

Me-"Well what do you want??"

Cash- "Mom, Dad, Paige, Belle, Blue Balloons, Blue cupcakes, Blue anyfing, oh and marshmallow cereal! No friends. Maybe go to Sweet Tomatoes, a movie or somethin!" 

Cash and Belle are so different it's hilarious!

So I did my best with his wants! He woke up to a blue tent, balloons, marshmallow cereal, and family!!

Later I broke the rules a bit I said we were going to the park and I had friends come and I hid cupcakes and later busted them out and sang to him. I was glad he was not mad he was so happy about it. Especially that his idol Logan was there.

The next day when Monkey could actually be there to celebrate we took them swimming! Man our kids are fish! They would live in the water if I let them. Paige loved it the most I feel.

Then we headed to Sweet Tomatoes!!! Cash's number one favorite... What does he love so much there you may ask with a dairy allergy??? Chicken noodle soup, sourdough bread, jello, and the crushed up Oreo's....  Why this is his favorite I will never know!

That night the kids waited for Monkey to get home and watched for him at the window so Cash could finally open his presents! When Monkey did get home screaming started and pure excitement for his random toys that he loves. T Rex number one, other dinos, stuffed dogs, bugs, and Winnie the pooh! I loved watching him. His smiles were priceless. I also loved watching him open both grandparents cards.... The same EXACT card with 3 dollars in both! Hahahah I have never seen that happen! He was ecstatic!!!! He bought more dinosaurs with it!

I still am in shock my little Tank man is 3. Time flies too fast. I have such a special spot for Cash. Even when he can't smile for any picture anymore. He is all GOOF! He thinks he is hilarious. He makes his whole family laugh all day! He loves life... He reminds me of Andy of of Toy Story... He is the master at make believe and playing with his toys! He loves Blue, swimming, nuggets, reading, running (even though he is as fast as a turtle), playing and doing everything himself. He is back on the whole potty training thing! YAY!  He loves his Mom!! That is how it better stay!!! There is no one like Cash! Just by looking at him I can't help but feel like the most lucky Mom in the whole world. Happy Birthday Cash!

26th bday

Well I guess I am not really the baby anymore! I am so used to be called the baby of the family and now that I am 26 hahah that doesn't seem right anymore! My birthday was really fun and laid back...  Monkey has been studying and gone a lot from preparing for Boards... he had his big KMK preparation class my bday weekend so I made myself my favorite cake... rainbow and the kids and I had a movie night. Then for my birthday Belle and Cash surprised me with breakfast in bed... Captain Crunch knock off brand!!! Hahah They thought the package looked way cool! They got me flower seeds so we can plant them together... and best of all I got my favorite movie.... 7 brides for 7 brothers!!!! YAY! Their faces are priceless when they gave me everything... Their excitement was off the wall! I loved it. We had subs and went for a little day hike to find a sweet water fall... Hahaha Monkey is the most paranoid scaredy cat!!! If he even feels like he is going to get asked to leave at all from like a park ranger or a cop he starts twitching and getting all shaky and paranoid!! I am polar opposite, I jump over peoples fences for heaven sakes!.... So as we were driving he thought we weren't suppose to be on the dirt road we were (which we were allowed, which made it more hilarious) on so he was twitching all over the place!!! Hahah I couldn't stop laughing... He would not go to down the water fall road cause he couldn't handle the pressure of thinking we would get busted or thrown in jail!! haha So we enjoyed the view of the mountains for 10 or 15 seconds till his nerves could no longer handle the pressure!!! So it was hilariously entertaining for my bday.

That night we just enjoyed being together... then when the kids went to bed we played card games and ordered SUSHI!!! I love birthdays! I love celebrating the people I love!!! How could I not with the 3 I have!!!
