p90x...

it's on it's way to my house....wish me luck.

This is the stuff that cracks me up everyday...

This is how Joe plays video games these days...

She obviously has him wrapped around her little finger! :)

Seriously...

What's not to love about this face?

way too long...

When I began this blog (forever ago)I wrote that my follow through with this sort of thing is not so hot. I did well for a while but July of last year when I began to work full time...I stopped blogging completely. Since then way too much has happened to fill you in day by day but...I can say a few things to catch you up and I will start posting again starting today :).

I am working full time as a nurse, in hospice. I love it. Although it is difficult for me to be away from Scout so much, I feel like this is the best job for me right now. I work with many wonderful people who encourage and inspire me daily. I learn, I grow, and I enjoy each day I go to work. And I seriously have the best boss ever :). I plan to BEGIN to FINISH by BSN this summer. I have a lot of support and determination so I KNOW I CAN DO IT!

My lil Princess just turned 4...can you believe it? 4! She is in pre-school... and she LOVES it. Everyday she gets just a lil sassier and more imaginative. She is funniest kid in the whole world. I seriously just can not get enough of her!
& @ Disneyland:




"The Marine" has been promoted from "just a friend" to a "boyfriend"...and I LOVE HIM...so does Miss Scoutie. He returned from Afghanistan in December and he will be home until January (fingers crossed).Here is a a pic from the night he got home... and another from a weekend we spent in Santa Barbs...<3!

Kids River Trip

Last weekend Stevi, Sarah, and I headed to my parents river house with our kiddo-s & Sarah's husband, Anthony for a weekend at the river. A weekend for the kids! It was so much fun. The kids loved riding in the boat and the boys loved driving on "Grandma's Joe's" lap. Here are a few pics!

More Disney Days..

Scout and I go to Disneyland a lot but last week was extra special. Neen and Papa took Scout and Eric and I met up with them. What a FUN time!

NEVER SAY NEVER

Before I had a child of my own I SWORE "My kid will NEVER...." all the time. I swore that my kids would never carry a stuffed animal in public. Kinda like this:


I also was sure that my kid would NEVER want to wear goofy clothes with Disney charcters on them. Kinda like this:

So as you can see...I have learned that stuffed animals and goofy clothes are actually kinda cute. Especially once you are a mom and can appreciate how excited these little things make your lil one. And, it is a good thing because this evening when I needed to go to the grocery store Scout decided this is what she was going to wear:





Now, instead of trying to convince her to wear actual clothes I thank Snow White for going shopping with me.
