Beach in November

Cody with fear in his eyes.

Blake with no fear.

The boys had wanted to go to the beach so bad again. I kept telling them it was time for it to get cold, because summers over. Then I heard on the news in was going to be 90 at the beach, I took them.. It was windy, but had a great time.

Friends House

This is Casie Blakewell Bailey. The boys and I had dinner with her and her husband Tim.

I think they are ready to have kids..............

Blake going in to score his first goal.

Update

So I know its been a long time. The boys are enjoying preschool and AWANA. They have soccer games every Saturday at 10:30. Blake loves it, but Cody could careless. He loves to play at home in the yard, but wouldn't play at the games. So he cheers his brother and Blaine on. Blake encourages Cody to get out there, but he wont. I need to get him into something he wants to do, theres just nothing he wants to do right now.
Two weeks ago I bought the boys a fired bellied Toad. I have to feed it live crickets, and if any of you know me, you know I cant stand bugs. So its been interesting and fun.
This last Sunday we got a puppy. The boys love him to death, his name is JACK. They call him Jack Jack. I will post pictures of everything soon. I'm at work today.
Update about my house- No change still on the market. We lowered the price, but still no offers. I know the Lord has a plan, its so hard to wait after this long. Thanks for all the prayers still.

First day of School

So the boys had their first day of school at Santa Clarita Park. I went to work after I dropped them off. They had a great day and can't wait to go back. They are going to school two days a week. Praise the Lord for my little boys. They are always put a smile on my face. It may be hard sometimes to be a single mom, but I wouldn't give it up for the world.
I'm still amazed to think that they are my little boys. I'm still working two days a week. This week starts the crazy year for us. The boys have their first soccer game on Saturday and then they start Cubbies on Monday. The fun of driving all around town. I hope everyone is doing well.

Camping Aug 9-16

They got new shirts when we where in Bridgeport. The boys thought they where great. The fish they claimed to be theirs where always the biggest. This year was more fun, they didn't want to come home. They always ask their Nonie and Popie when we can go camping again. I'm so glad they love to be in the great outdoors.

Swimming

Cody was cold. So he was enjoying sitting out in the sun.
Blake loves to swim. He was swimming across the pool and was just starting to get tired.
Blake was putting the pool toys back in the box.
Boys being boys. they love jumping in the pool.

Soccer pic

So the boys are starting soccer next week. When we got their balls and shoes they had to put everything on and go play. They are so excited about playing. I will have action shots next week.

For a Good Laugh

Ya, you can laugh at me.

Just so you all can see what I was doing 4Th of July weekend. We went camping at the beach. I bought myself this nice chair and was glued to it. It was fun hanging out with family and friends. I didn't make it to the beach and never saw the water, but it was nice anyway.

Good memories!!!

New hair cut

So ya all have to tell me the truth if you like my new hair cut or not. I haven't had bangs since I was in the 6Th grade. It feels funny. I still need to upload a picture of my blue cast. The picture is on my moms computer. Hope everyone is doing well.

Mike & Lisa

I forgot to tell all of you that Mike And Lisa Fusano went camping with us also. We had a great time with them. It was fun to see the boys with both their grandpas camping.

Big Pine

Blake and his fish. He was so excited. The first morning we where there he woke up at 7:30am and said mommy I want to go fishing. So I got up, got dressed and went fishing with him right by our tent and a caught a fish on the second cast. YA!! And then he was done. It was my kind of fishing.
Cody got the first fish of the trip. After we set up camp we went fishing next to our tent. It was a great fishing whole and he got one. It was really fun.

Got Back

So we got back form camping with only some scrapes and bug bites. Now hears the story. 2 hours after we go home I was headed to the ER. Yes just me. I don't have a good story its pretty funny so you can laugh after you read it. I was putting the boys car seats back in the car so I could take them to swim lessons. The van was parked in the drive way which goes down toward the garage. That's important, so the step down from the car is bigger than normally. So I was backing out after I buckled the seat in and came down on my right foot wrong, and twisted my ankle. I was hurting so bad and hopped to the front of the house yelling for the boys to open the door and get Poppie. My dad then yelled for my mom to call 911, so yes we had everyone show up at the house. I was on my way to Henry Mayo by Ambulance. They put a splint on and said I need to wait a few days to get it x rayed again.
Friday I went down to kaiser and was told its not broken, but putting a cast on it. So I'm in a cast for 3 weeks and a walking boot after that. ONLY ME!!!!
So I will up load pictures of campimg when I get a chance.

Birthday Party @ the park

We went to Gwen Crawford's Birthday party and the boys where playing on the hill. Cody was so funny. It was a really nice day. Thankfully it wasn't today. I do believe it got up to 108 today. The air conditioning in the house can't get under 85. Crazy!!! I'm glad we are leaving for the mountains.

Blake & Cody
Mrs. Bolt gave the boys balloons to let go. I was so excited about how the picture turned out that I had to share it with all of you. After they let go and realize they where gone they said "I don't want my balloon to go away." Funny boys!!!

Blake

So I looked out the kitchen window to find that Blake learned how to swing all by himself. I grabbed my camera and had to take a video of it. He was so proud of himself and thought I was taking a picture so he kept saying cheese, cheese. I'm so thankful that I get to see all their "FIRSTS". Some not so fun, like the emergency room. Most are exciting for me, its like doing it all over again. Riding a bike, learning to swim, First day of school, learning to swing without being pushed. Oh how I love not having to always be pushing them on the swings. In the fall they will be playing soccer, that will be a lot of fun.

We are leaving to go to Big Pine so I will come back hopefully with pictures of the boys and fish that they caught.

My Mothers Day gift

So one of the moms from preschool takes old fashion pictures for fun. So her and another mom set up at church to take these pictures for us for mothers day. How cool is that? This was one of the nicest things I've gotten for mothers Day. Let me know if any of you would like a copy. She took 83 pictures of the boys. What can I say they love the camera. I can print them up or email them. I'm so thankful for my sweet little boys and can imagine not having them in my life. Thank you Lord for allowing me to be their mom.

Boys Birthday Party Feb.

So I kept forgetting to post a picture of their birthday party. All the pictures where on my moms computer. So here one is. They had a really good time. Its crazy to think a have two four year olds.

Strawberry picking

We went strawberry picking at the Underwood family farm, with my mom, sister, Shealyn and Blaine. The kids thought it was the coolest thing. I miss Chicago, but I love being back in California.

Disneyland in April

Just another Disneyland trip for us. The boys and I stayed in Irvine with a friend and then went to Disneyland the next day. It was a blast!!!!!

At the Ventura races

Easter 2004

This was the boys first Easter. Pictured with Shealyn and Blaine. The boys where 2 months old and Blaine was 4 months. Shea was turning 4 years old in 3 months. WOW how time flys.

I would love to go back to that stage for ONE day. It was almost easier. We will see what God has planned, maybe I will have more babies one day. One at a time:)
