Do you think "TOO" much?

I catch myself thinking about little projects that lead into big ideas that lead into different subjects that throw me way of course of what I started thinking about... are you with me? Like going to the store for one thing and coming out with a cart full!! I am guilty of that "BIG" time!
Well, I caught myself thinking like that today and decided to just get out of the house with the kids. We went to Long John Silver's for lunch (I forgot how greasy that place is), then we went to Toys R' Us and bought some fun family games.... including checkers, and we went home and played games for 3 hours and swam for an hour. We had such a fun filled quality time day!!
We ended the evening going over to my moms and hanging out while I permed her hair.(Yes , perms still exists.) :0)

So, if you think "TOO" much, get out and get busy!!! LOL

Enjoying new tips!!

I have been playing around with my blog and I love change so, you will see lots of new things as you read regularly... Today I learned how to use a "marquee" and "scroll bars". If you want to learn new tips you can click on HERE. It's a lot of fun.....

Pirate's Booty

Okay, I found a picture of my new favorite snack! You have to try this if you haven't already. You're in for a cheesey treat!! (there's caramel too.)

San Diego...Girl...Fun!!!!!!!!!

I went with my husbands Aunt and her friend to San Diego for a little getaway....
My Aunt didn't want to be alone while her friend was meeting up with a guy that she had been dating, so I tagged along.
We had a great time! A break from everything was nice. These pictures are from Mission Bay. I was bad at taking pictures of everything, so all you get is Mission Bay. We also went shopping in La Jolla and ate at little sandwich shops. We got pedicures and watched chick flicks at the hotel. My aunt introduced me to "Pirate Booty", a popcorn snack, it is a new snack on my favorites list. Yummmmmmmmmm!!!!! (She gets it at Super Target by the chips.) (or Trader Joes) We also shopped at the outlet mall on our way out of San Diego near Alpine. We had a great time!!



The waves were great for the surfers....

There was a loud and crazy concert going on....


I was trying to get this SeaGull in closer range...oh well..
The sand felt nice to walk on, I forget how soft it really is, not like our park sand.

Memorial Day Fun!!!

For Memorial Day we went to Tempe Town Lake and played at the water park with some friends.


Amber and Westin

Zachary (Kayla and Nicholas in background)

Kayla's little man, Xander! He truly loves water and didn't even flinch at the coldness.

It was a lot of fun and we all went home with red shoulders even though we were sun blocked!

I've been Tagged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been tagged by Diane! :)

The Rules:

• 1. Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
• 2. People that are tagged write a blog post about their own 8 random things and post these rules.
• 3. At the end of your post tag 8 people and include their names.Don't forget to leave them a comment on their blog to tell them they've been tagged, and to comment back and read your blog for the whole story.

1. I love sports! Lately I haven't been involved myself, but I use to play co-ed softball and it would boost my ego when I was just visiting and wanting to play and the teams would argue which team I would be on. Now, I love supporting my boys in baseball and football. And my daughter in tennis.
2. This Mother's Day I received a lot of notes and letters from children and the main point from them was "Mom, you rock!" So, I guess I am a rockin mom!
3. Although I have some weight to lose, I love working out! I always challenge my 11 year old son with "suicide crunches". That is where you count 1, 1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2-3-4, ....all the way to 20. We just started doing that.
4. My favorite thing to do for relaxing...with a friend or by myself, is getting a gelato and eating it while I get a pedicure.
5. I love dating my husband! It's been 12 1/2 years!!
6. I love to shop! I wouldn't know what to do if Ebay shut down!
7. I have learned so many things through some tough experiences.... So many blessings have sprouted from them. For example, losing our home of 8 years to a fire, we are happier than ever now, in our new home and community. And, the loss of my second child, I feel that I have a greater bond with my children because they are truly gifts from above. Also, I've learned that I don't cry during tragic events, rather, I breakdown when I have a moment to myself and then thank my Heavenly Father for his comfort. I know I have a great family and friends around me that support me, so I move on...................
8. I love that every day I can choose the mood of my day! ( even when my two young tornadoes hit! )( I am learning to move past the angry moments. Yes, I am human and still get PMS moments) :) I love hanging out with great friends at the park and letting our children play.(relief!!) I would do that everyday!!!!!!

Now, I Tag!!! The eight lucky people are: Sandi, Shawnie, Natalie M., Kayla, Kenyon, Libby, Echelle, and Lindsey

Happy Birthday Westin!! BIG #3!!

Westin loves Pirates!! I did make him a pirate ship cake, just not this one. And we ate at Pirate fish and chips on Lindsey/University where he got a little black pouch with a gold coin. We made eye patches and had a blast!! It was just the family, small and simple. I thought that Corey had a baseball game that night so, I didn't plan anything, turned out that he didn't and it was the next day... oh well. UUURRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Mate!

My Goodness!!!!!!!!

I thought that I would check in....I actually added to my Krazy schedule! I joined bootcamp..again! I did it last year and I really enjoyed it, I have new and bigger goals this year so, I am back to work!! I go every morning @ 5:30 for an hour. I am sore and full of energy afterwards! I love it! (first week, I lost 4 lbs! )

I have been watching what I eat and drinking my MonaVie! I have a hard time consuming ALL of the right portions of my fruits and Vegetables, MonaVie helps me get ALL of my fruits in and then I eat my protein and two cups of Veggies. If I make a salad I still eat protein and two cups of veggies on top!!

Check out MonaVie

I am a distributor, so if you have any questions I would be delighted to answer them.
