MY BOYS ARE AMAZING!!!!

My boys are so big!

I cant really believe that jake is already 4 years old! he is so big and they both are growing so fast its a little bittersweet, he is all signed up for soccer and he is so excited, i got him a soccer ball today and some shin gards, he is so cute and because he is still a little guy i have to special order his shoes online! i am so proud of him right now it feels like he was born yesterday and i am so happy that he pulled through every scary obstacle that was in his way i have God to thank for that, and as for my baby Jordan he is going to be 2 on aug. 1st and he is such a talker he wants to be on a 'team' to like jake so we got him a few special things to make him feel apart of the team. He is learning to go on the potty and he is really starting to be like a big kid not so much a baby, which makes my heart ache but i know i have to let them grow up and teach them how to be good people and men and grow to make me proud. gosh if its this hard to let go of the 'baby' years i cant even imaging how its going to be to have to let them go to college.I now understand what parents mean when they say 'it goes by so fast' because i cant even believe it has been 4 years already, i love them so much those kids are my whole world, my whole heart, and i'm so proud to be their mom, God has blessed me so much with the amazing family i have!!!! im posting new pics right now of jakes birthday! thanks for reading my 'mom moment' xoxoxo

Well my life has been extremely busy this last month! I am very thankful for what has been happening but it has caused me to almost abandon my blog. So I will do my best to log on and blog and visit my friends because I miss you all so very much, its just when I get home or when I am done working the last thing I want to do is be on a computer or a phone! Also if you can send prayers our way for my Aunt my family would greatly appreciate it, she had 2 ruptured annurisims and 6 small ones that didn't rupture a week ago Saturday. She has gone through 2 brain surgeries and she's a trooper she is doing well, talking and they are going to have her start walking I think tomorrow because she has been stuck in a bed for 8 days, they think she may have had a stroke after the 2nd surgery because her left side is a little weak, but she's a fighter and I know she will pull through, and God is watching over her. He has to be because she is doing so well after all of that. Thanks for reading! xoxoxo

Before I was a MOM!

I found this on myspace somewhere and I thought I would stick it up here because its everything I have felt...a lot of it today too, my oldest had a fever of 103.3 but I won I got it down quick! I just checked on him and he has been at a steady 98.6 since this morning. THANK YOU GOD!!!

Before I was a Mom,
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn'tstop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel soimportant and happy.

Before I was a Mom
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache,the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much.....before I was aMom.

Describe your sleeping habits.

I'm all over the place, on my tummy, back, side and somehow I manage to keep my blankets nice while I sleep so my side is really east to make, but my husband is a blanket hog and he gets all tangled up in them like a burrito and I find myself freezing some nights and wrestling with a sleeping burrito!

Today is a beautiful day!

So this morning my husband had to go to court for his speeding tickets and when we get to 18 its a sea of clouds below us, and the wind was blowing the clouds against the mountain and it looked just like the ocean but with clouds. Then we got down the hill and it got pretty hot, but I just walked through my door and I am about to start working and it is so beautiful outside. I love this right now! YAY!!!

week of april.13.2006: what if?
what if....
1. ...you were stranded on a deserted island, name one person you would chose to be stranded with. what would you do to survive?
Well of course I would want to be stranded with my husband, and he is a tree climber so it would be really easy for him to climb up and get us coconuts and he knows how to build stuff so we could build shelter and we would play in the water and hope someone finds us, but we would probably want to be stranded for about 3 days it would be a nice little break away from the kids and our busy schedules! haha!

2. ...you could have one superpower, what would it be?
Oh I always think about this! especially when I'm cleaning, I wish I had the power to think of things and they would just get done with me thinking about it, but only when I want it to so weird stuff doesnt happen. But that would be awsome if the dishes are dirty or I wanted a purse full of $100's so I can go on a shopping spree, or a new car in my driveway! Or the kids to be instantly clean and happy! I could go on forever! if only I had this power....

3. ...you could bring one character from your favorite book to life, who would it be?
Well I dont read a lot of big people books but I have always loved the book Fudge! that kid would be my best friend, or I would want Bart from the simpsons or Ariel from The Litttle Mermaid.

4....you could solve one of historys unsolved mysteries, which would it be?
Sad...but I cant even think of one of history's unsolved mysteries.....but I do wish I could explore the bottom of the ocean everywhere that would be something I would love to know more about because a lot of it is still a mystery!

Saturday Social

Also I went and walked/ran 1.5 miles yesterday I had to leave early because it started to get really cold and windy and Jordan's cheeks were turning red and looking chapped. When we got home I put them to bed at 7:30 and my husband and I watched a movie and a couple of shows then went to bed. I am really proud of myself my husband is too.

Is there anything for which you would willingly give your life?
Yes. My family, I would try so hard to not have to just because I want to watch them grow up, but I definately would without hesitation

How would you communicate with someone if you didn't share a common language?
Its really hard I have had to do that before there was a lot of pointing and confusion, I gave in and called my friend who spoke spanish and had her translate, and if I were ever put in that situation again I would just call someone.

Where is your ideal place/location to have a wedding?
That would have to be on a beach! that is where we were supposed to get married, it was fun planning everything and getting the permits lined up, then I found out I was pregnant with Jake and he was due 10 days before our wedding! So there went that idea haha!

ok so I have been away for a week...YIKES!!

I am really happy to report we have gotten even more work and we held our first meeting the other night! It's hard work and I feel like all I do is work clean and sleep with the occasional bite of food every now and then but I know it is going to pay off in the end! So today is a little of a lazy day, i got to sleep in a little even my babies are exhausted I had to wake them up! I will try to check in everynight this week. I am making time for my health and I will be walking/running 2 miles everynight at 6pm with my kids and friends so I am very excited about that as well! take care all I will be back soon! I promise...at least I hope!

Manic Monday

Is there any question you can't look up the answer to on the internet?
I'm know there has been but I cant remember what it was, it was something about the Pomo Indians, I was helping my little sister with a report.
Invent a new word that you feel would improve the language and define it.
This is one of those thinking ones, and my brain has officially checked out for the night, I have a super long and busy week ahead....i make up lots of words throughout my day I say 'poopstain' a lot its what I use instead of 'butthead' or 'Oh S**t' if a bunch of people went around saying 'poopstain' instead of bad words the world might just laugh a little more and its a very versatile word you can use it for just about anything!
What is your favorite texture?
to touch...I love those crunchy baby toys is that a texture? i like touching stuff that is really smooth and soft. especially blankets...happy MM everyone, I will try to be on as much as possible this week but its not looking so great but I have a lot to be thankful for, our company is getting bigger slowly but its getting there so that is where a lot of my time is going. I will comment everyone soon it might take me a few days but I will get to it! talk to you all soon! I have to go to bed now!

Given the choice, would you prefer to live in the country or in the city?
I would definitely chose the country! I have lived in the mountains my whole life (except after high school and moved in the CITY for 4 years!...and I moved back!) and its a pretty small town really nice, quiet, hardly any violence, and I absolutely love it here! I hate the city and never in a million years would I want to move back, the only thing I liked about the city is everything is within a 5 mile radius....BUT I would MUCH RATHER drive 30 miles to go to wal-mart or the mall then have to live in the middle of that crap!

Soup

Who is the cutest kid you know?
DUH!!!! what kind of question is this haha, I guess this one is directed to all the people who don't have kids, cause I know mine are the cutest ones I know, and I know every parent thinks their kid is the cutest and no parent would ever agree with any other parent, and if they were they are what they would mean is 'your kid is the cutest kid I have ever seen, aside from mine of course'...so yeah Jake and Jordan are the cutest kids I know!

So here is my Thursday Thirteen, I know it is a pretty random list but I really couldn't think of anything else to put down!

Tiny Talk Tuesday

Well I am racking my brain here trying to think of what cute things my darling children have said this week and I can't seem to think of anything right now, probably because it is 1:00am...But i can't help but only think of the mess they made this morning on my freshly mopped kitchen floor! My little one Jordan thought he would help me make breakfast this morning, so while I was downstairs getting their clothes picked out he was fast at work cracking eggs on the kitchen floor, 8 of them to be exact. Then when he realized he made more of a mess than breakfast, he thought he would sweep it up, and that didn't work so he used the swiffer! All this mess in a matter of no more than 4 minutes. As I am walking up the stairs Jake yells "Mommy Jordans got the eggs!" Then I saw my lovely egg covered yellow kitchen floor....KIDS MAN!!!! At least he attempted to clean it up!

10 Places I Would Take A Tourist to See in my Hometown...
well I live in a small town but it is also a big tourist attraction...here we call them 'Flatlanders' you can often find them playing on the side of 18 in dirty snow, packing snow on top of their cars to be 'cool' and doing about 25mph on 18 and never using turnouts.... here is my home town, Lake Arrowhead

where 'Flatlanders' often like to go are lame places which aren't so much fun and everything is way overpriced! so I would take a flatlander here:
1. The Flats - we go off roading there often and it is beautiful I like to picnic there
2. Deep Creek - so much fun most who visit the mountain don't got there because they don't know it exists, and you need a 4 wheel drive to get there.
3. Crab Flats - great hiking
4. My house around midnight - we throw awesome parties and they will more than likely see a bear and coyotes about 10 feet away
5. Lake Silverwood - because they don't have as many stupid rules as Lake Arrowhead, and lake patrol down there is way less uptight!
6. The Pinnacles - super fun trails that lead from Dart Canyon to Silevrwood, my husband and I used to take them all the time in high school
7. Papaya Bay or the Chefs Inn - its way fun on Friday and Saturday nights
8. Camp Seeley up to Heart Rock - its a fun hike I used to do it about 3 times a week with my Dad when I was a kid.
9. My old house - we had the best water I have ever had we had a natural well in our backyard, people should be able to know what real water taste like.
10. Panorama Point - the prettiest view ever, especially on a clear day you can see Catalina Island, the tall buildings in L.A. and ships on the ocean, Lake Elsinore, Lake Paris and can get a clear accurate traffic report and know which freeways not to take if you have to go down the hill...I love it!

Manic Monday

If you could have any music group or musician play at a party, who would you hire? I think I would have to have Cris Cagle, or Marc Broussard that would be one amazing party!

Name three things to be happy about today.
1. My husband will be home tonight
2. My house is spotless and we wont be here to mess it up
3. I get to see my friend Desiraye....hopefully

How do you release frustration?
Either by writing or going to the beach, if I can do both I'm like a new person, also just hugs from my husband really helps even if I'm frustrated with him...

Friday's Feast

Appetizer

On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 as highest), how much do you like your own handwriting? I guess I would say its an 8 or a 9 depends on the day.

Salad

What was the last bad movie you watched? hmmm....I would have to say, I cant remember I don't watch a whole lot of movies anyway...

If I were doing any one of these amazing things right now I would so amazingly happy! But instead I have a million non fun things to do today, including going to the bank with 2 little kids that HATE the bank...and I have to work at my parents house, and I'm already late, I miss my husband, and I have to pay bills today! YUCK! However, I am happy and blessed that God gave me another day in this world and to be with my kids and family and be able to pay my bills, and have the oppertunity to work, so my day isnt that bad I just have to remember all the blessings I have and hey maybe God will even have my Dad bring some sushi back with him tonight....hahaha its a thought, and quite possible!

Wordless Wednesday - Wish I was Here

This is where I should be right now, but instead, I am stuck in the mountains, freezing, missing my husband, and now I have to go through 20+ boxes to find paperwork from 6 years ago! Wow!!! This is going to be a fun day!

Tuesday Toot

So this week I have managed to stay up on my housework, while helping run a company and try and sell a house! I am very proud of myself, and yesterday morning we were getting ready to take Paul to work around 5am we were in a rush to get out the house, and we see a MOUSE run across the floor!!! (we live right in the forest so we have seen them around but never in the house) We are in such a hurry we don't have time to deal with it, (and I'm pissed cause my kids play on that floor and I have been trying really hard to keep it clean!) So Paul heads out the door with Jordan, and Jake and I are about to follow, then there goes the mouse again, so I grabbed Jordan's shoe, and the mouse runs into my intake vent for the heater on the floor, I was smacking the vent with the shoe, I was not going to let him get away, and I was hoping he would fall in the hole...but instead he popped his little head through the top and got whacked with the shoe, and it layed there twitching, Jake yelled "Mommy you killed the mouse?" I told him he was sleeping, so I opened the vent and grabbed its little tail run outside to the car, and yelled to Paul "Look what I got" he thought it was his coffee til he got closer then said "how the heck did you do that?" I threw the mouse into the trees across the street, said a prayer for it and we went on our way, after I scrubbed my hands like a mad woman. I feel bad in a way, I wished it would have just ran out the door, but then again this is my home and my kids are safe from that nasty little mouse and whatever disease it could have been carrying! So I did it I got rid of that mouse without using a trap! GO ME!!!

Tiny Talk Tuesday

Well this week my kids have said some pretty cute things, I have been called 'Princess Mommy' a whole lot and my little one's favorite is 'hush' he says 'hush mama' and 'hush dada' a lot. But right now I can probably remember the more naughty things they have done this week as opposed to the cute things. Oh another sweet little story is from Jordan, he has been quite the cleaner/helper, the other day he woke up from a nap and saw a scrabble letter on the floor, he picked it up and put it away without being asked, he also spilled a couple drops of milk on the floor so he grabbed the swiffer and wiped it up, then put the swiffer away! How awesome is that? Now if I could just get my oldest to do that, I wouldn't have so much work!

10 Things I am looking forward to in the spring

1. Warmer weather
2. BBQ's
3. All my cute clothes
4. Flip flops
5. The lake
6. Mother's Day
7. Pretty Blossoms
8. Being able to dress the boys in shorts and tanks, no more stupid sweatshirts
9. Not having to worry about black ice
10. KNOWING WINTER IS OVER!!!!!

Daylight savings time SUCKS!!!!

So today has been a weird one, this whole time change thing has got me all mixed up and I feel so rushed, and on top of that I had to take my husband to work this morning and we had assumed he would be coming home this evening, but we found out differently this morning, I guess someone changed their mind about staying sometime after 10:30pm and we never got the phone call. So my honey is down in San Diego for the week with only the clothes on his back, no cell phone charger, toothbrush, etc, so it looks like I will be making a run down there later! As for the kids, they have completely destroyed the living room, it looks like I haven't cleaned it in years, when I just did it last night, hence the reason why I am typing this blog...I am putting it off for as long as I can and I just organized all their toys last night, I should have taken a picture, I knew it wouldn't last! I also made a new rule...when you get a new toy, you need to put the other one back NEATLY, that worked about 5 minutes, however, when it was nap time they did put them away, they threw them in the corner but at least the toys made it to the corner. Now they are awake and its worse than before they went to sleep, then again I have to remember they are kids and their job is to make messes (job security for me...right?) at least one is playing quietly the other is coming over with ever car and truck we own and pretending I am his personal race track. Now I need to go clean get them dressed cute, run some errands, go sing happy birthday to my little sister she's 10 today, do some paperwork at my parents, then possibly drive to San Diego, drop off his stuff and turn around to come right back home...but its no big deal its only about 150 miles each way! At least I will get to see him and give him a big kiss! I miss him so much already!

I signed up for PayPerPost!

I did it, I signed up for payperpost, I am extremely excited because I can get paid to blog, since I am on here all the time I might as well get pay a few bills! I learned about payperpost through my friends Kristin and Amanda I am pretty new to everything but there are a lot of opportunities to make money, which is so cool to me, because it gives me a chance to help my husband out and have a little extra to buy something nice for my family or myself. It also makes me feel better about my time spent on the computer, I know I probably should have been doing the dishes, folding laundry or cleaning the bathroom but hey instead I made some money, now let me hear a husband complain about that! Although I am pretty new to payperpost I am starting to learn a whole lot, I still get confused about my little blog world at times, but payperpost has videos that can walk you through certain things if you don't understand them, they also word their site very clearly so it is easy to understand. I love payperpost and I am learning new things everyday!

Manic Monday

What's your favorite thing to spend money on?
ME!!!! or the kids, or paul, but I love to shop I love shoes, purses, clothes and anything fun, I could go on forever!

If you could retire tomorrow what would you do?
Well that would be nice, I would travel a lot and take the kids to different countries and have them experience all kids of different places and cultures, just enjoy life to the fullest!

Should anything be censored and if so, what and why?
hmmm...some stuff I hear on TV sometimes I can't believe it! I think they should not be allowed to say any kind of bad words on TV, I think its sad how society is used to it, and it's considered 'normal'

Friday Feast

Appetizer

If you could be any current celebrity for one whole week, who would you want to be?
Honestly they all seem like they have issues, and I like my life but if I had to chose I think I would want to be...Jessica Simpson cause I would love to know what it feels like to have a stomach that flat, and shes got a ton of money so I could actually shop at Barney's and not be afraid my husband is going to divorce me when he finds out how much I've spent!

Soup

On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being highest), how much do you enjoy talking on the phone?
It depends on who it is and how long really I range from a 1 to a 10 all the time!

Wordless Wednesday - my babies

I was just looking at some baby pictures of Jake and I know he and Jordan look a lot alike but I didn't realize they looked this much alike, it's really weird!

So here is Jake about 12-13 months old




and here is Jordan at 13-14 months old


I have some more pictures of them here at home (I don't have a scanner so I can post them, sorry) I showed them to Paul and asked "which one?" he had no idea then he figured it was Jake because the stroller looked new and his adidas were in the picture. They look so much alike its really hard to tell their pictures apart. People always ask me if they are twins, and they are 2 years and 8 days apart!

Tuesday Toot

So this week I have gotten sooooo much done, I have stayed up on my laundry and I am happy to report right now the only dirty clothes in my house are the ones on our backs! FINALLY!!! It was hard but I finally did it, and my whole house is really clean and my closets are organized, and my husband scrubbed the rug last night and then vaccuumed to help me out. I am very proud of myself for keeping up with everything and to top it off I have more free time, when the kids take a nap I'm not frantically cleaning, I can sit and have a cup of tea and watch TV or take a shower, heck I can even take a nap (note to self) and I taught Jordan his ABC's this week with the help of Jake. He gets things mixed up but he can sing them pretty good...not bad for a 19 month old! Oh and Jake is OFFICALLY POTTY TRAINED we even went to LA and not 1 diaper for him! This has been such a good week...seriously WONDERFUL! THANK YOU JESUS!

Tiny Talk Tuesday

So today the kids and I were rushing out of the house to pick up Paul, as we are walking down our stairs Jake asks me "Hey Shonnte, can you make all this snow go away now?" I turned around so fast I thought my hair was going to fly off my head and I responded "What is my name?" Jake says "Mommy" I asked "and what do you call me?" he replies "not Shonnte!" it was so funny I had to turn away to giggle and as I'm walking with Jordan in my arms Jordan says "hi mama Shonnte" and he said it so well! This week my little Jordan has also been saying "no mama" like its going out of style, I guess we are now entering that phase, he says it so cute, but I know it won't be cute for long! Ha! My babies!

~Manic Monday~

You find that your best friend has stolen money to pay for medical treatment for a seriously ill relative. What would you do? I would be annoyed and hurt that they stole from me for sure, I would understand why but I would definately have a serious talk with them and let them know to just ask me. After all we are best friends and I would definately give them as much as I could to help, stealing is wrong. But I would try not to let it get in the way of our friendship, because it was for a good cause.

What three things you regret not learning to do? um I dont really have any regrets about anything, and I am really trying to think here...maybe not learning how to cook like my dad he was a gourmet chef before I was born and man he can cook like no other! But if I really wanted to learn my parents are only 5 mins away, and my husband is a pretty good cook. OH I regret not learning how to wakeboard in high school, i tried it twice then gave up, it really hurt when I fell, and I TOTALLY regret not learning that eating the way I did when I was pregnant with my 1st one would make me THAT FAT! yeah I definately regret this one I ate so much and the whole time I just looked like a had a belly, I was wondering where all that weight went until he was out, then I found it...all in my belly, so pretty! ha!
