Last night was Nacho night. As I started dinner Averee was wanting up so I put her on the counter right next to me and she helped me with it all. That's helping me in the way of eating everything I was getting out! haha.. She is my little eater and will eat any thing I put in front of her, as she sat with me she had Olives, Tomatoes, Re fried Beans, Meat, Cheese, Sour Cream. haha she had it all. And loved every minute of it as you can see.

Now Ryder on the other hand had got in trouble and sent to his room, when we went back to check on him this is what we found. haha. Snuggled under all his stuffed animals sound asleep.

could this day be any longer!

Today has been one of those days that I'm counting down every minute until bed time.
I can't do anything without one or both children on one of my legs crying or whining wanting up! Today is not the day I can handle this mentally.
I'm just done....

I love my kiddos to death but some days oh how I dream about a place far far away with the sun beaming down on me, the white sand tickling my toes, and the sound of the ocean in the back ground...
Oh how I dream...

A long but much needed weekend.

This past weekend, being that it was Spring Break my sister and I were expecting a whole lot of family to come visit. This doesn't happen all that often so it was a little bit of a shocker that it all turned out. We had so much fun! We were celebrating Averee, Hailey, Me and my Brothers birthdays (yes we have that many in March) Hailey got to have her "Princess" party at Papa's with all of her cousins and she was ecstatic.

We had around 10 people come over and stay between my house and my sister's. Luckily I got Averee's big bed done and an extra mattress on Ryder's top bunk last week, so we ended up having enough room for everyone! I had so much fun just sitting and visiting with my mom and Aunt it was one of those "really needed" moments for me! I really didn't want them to leave. At least I didn't have to say good bye to all of them after 3 days. My brother and niece stayed an extra couple days, and that was nice to spend the extra time with her. She is getting ready to move down to California with her Mommy, it will be a while before we get to see her again. Sad.... We will miss her to pieces!

Sunday came and my own "little Princess" came down with a bad croupy cough and fever. Poor little girl. She is starting to feel better, so I'm thankful for that! Now if we could just get her sleeping schedule back on track I would be doing great!

Here are some pictures from this past weekend.

what happened?

Can someone please tell me what happened to my sweet little boy!
Is he gone forever?
Ryder has turned in to a little boy with horns! lol. He isn't listening at all, he is just being a little shit! Last night he was sent to bed at 6:45pm problem with this? He was out with in like 5 minutes so we didn't even have a chance to explain why he was sent to bed. He's just plain ol ornery!!
I'm crossing my fingers this is just a faze. I don't think I can handle "this little boy" to much longer. Today I found a wonderful website I can print out my own Chore and Behavior lists. So far this has been a great thing today. But we will see how it works.

Anyone have any ideas to help with this problem?

Averee's One!

Here we are coming to the end of the day and what a day it's been. Today my baby girl is a year old! No matter how many times I say it I still can't believe it! She had a wonderful day and loved being spoiled all day.








She really was this excited over this present.
lol

so much alike

As I sit here today thinking "where in the world has the last year gone" I'm looking back at pictures of Ryder when he turned one. Everyone always talks about how much my kids look alike. After looking at these photos I will has to say there is no doubt they are brother and sister!

Ryder was nick named "mator" from the movie Cars. haha.

And then all her teeth came is so perfect.

I just can't get over how much they do look alike.

work in progress.

Due to the over whelming demands for CNI (weight loss system) in their first month of business my product came about a week later then anticipated. Happy to say they have got that situation all under control.

I started the product last Thursday and let me tell you I'm in love with it! I am down 5lbs and and inch and half in my waist!! This excites me to the max! lol.
I feel great on this stuff. You know how some you get on and it makes you either feel like your on speed or I don't know just feel weird? This doesn't do that, I have more energy but it's just that and no jitters or anything. As of this first week I haven't changed my eating at all, and have been doing my walking a few times a week but that's it other then trying to drink more water. That is how easy this is. I don't feel like I have to watch every calorie or take the time to write down and count up my points. I just don't feel like I really have time during the day to focus on all that right now. Well I just wanted to give you all an up date on how this is going.

Even my husband has started using the cheat on his food!

The big 29

Yesterday was my 29th birthday. If you didn't see it on Facebook, let me fill you in on "my day". It started out by my husband and I fighting and not speaking to each other since the day before ( and let me tell you I'm a talker this was so hard for me rather I'm mad or not!!) In the 11 years we have been together this is by far the longest we have ever given each other the silent treatment. It was all over stress from money and work right now or should I say the lack of money and work. Nothing really we can actually do about it but we decided to take it out on each other. About half way through the day he made up for it and got the the present that I wanted and said sorry. I informed him to never do that again! On my birthday it is MY DAY and it is the rules to push the fight to the next day and pretend like every thing is fine on my actual birthday! Right??? He laughed and gave me my new printer, and a few nick knacks. I really needed a new printer and I'm so happy he actually got it for me. Personally I wouldn't have spent the money but hey I'm so happy I'm not going to complain!! The night ended with me blowing out 29 candles on the cake me and Ry made earlier. With Ryder's help I got them all out in one big breath. :)
After the kids went to bed, I stared messing around with the printer and printed out some new photos that I have been dying to put up, cause they aren't new just new to my wall! But I finally got to finish one of my walls that has been a little bare. It's a wall of the kids.
I love it!!!
So this is how my 29th birthday went down. Another year has past and the next one I think I'm going to have a huge party. The big 30! That deserves a party!



This is my wall. Sorry about the flash. :)
It's a long narrow wall in my living room.



Had to post this one too, just cause it's so cute!

Prehistoric Planet.

As some of you know my Mr. Ryder is obsessed with Dinosaurs! He has been ever since he was about a year old. This is something he is not growing out of. His newest favorite show is on Discovery Kids. It's called Prehistoric Planet. At first I didn't know if he was going to be a little scared, this show is very realistic. It's all about the dinosaur ages and you learn daily about different Dinosaurs. He gets so so excited, I love watching him learn about this stuff and just be fascinated by it all. I don't know maybe this will be his calling later in life. http://www.prehistoricplanet.com/
