Tiny Talk Tuesday
My husband has been working out of town the last couple of weeks and our kids miss him dearly, the other day our youngest Jordan would not walk away from the front door, he grabbed his blanket and sat there waiting for his daddy to come home. I kept telling him that daddy was working and he wouldnt be home tonight but he just sat there and if I tried to move him he would cry and go back to the door (he's 18 months old) So while I was making dinner I looked over to see him sleeping against the door with the blanket across his lap, this made my heart melt, it's so hard with him gone, its hard on all of us.
I almost forgot about this one...so last week or so ago, I was driving with the kids and I hear Jake yell "Mommy, I got bloody nose!" this happens quite often, so I pull over and as I'm cleaning him up I ask "honey why do you keep picking your nose? that's gross, and you get bloody" he replies "because my boogers taste yummy" he's so gross! What is it with boys? LOL!!
*Tuesday Toot*
Ok so this week I have accoplished all my laundry! I was so happy that celebrated the last load washed! haha, I'm really happy to have it all done, and when I went away for the weekend with my husband it gave me peace of mind knowing that I am coming back home to a spotless house, which waws really nice when we walked through the door Sunday night. Then he went to work Monday morning and my boys did what they do best...make messes, but I have stayed on my laundry like white on rice and its still all done! YAY FOR ME!!!!

MY SUPER FUN SAN DIEGO WEEKEND!!!!
The sun started to come out right over the ocean...so pretty
John Paul and Myleacka walking around
John Myleacka and me at the Whiskey Girl
Sunset Cliffs....my favorite place in the World...so far!
John Myleacka and Desiraye at Sunset Cliffs
Oh my gosh! We had a blast and a half! I picked Paul up from the airport around 9pm friday then weo drove straight to San Diego and stayed in this really nice hotel right down the street from where me and my friend John and our 2 other friends stayed when we were 18 and down there looking for apartments. So we got there and decided to go out with my sister and John and meet up with our friend Desiraye at one of the bars, where she was we couldnt get in because the bouncer was a BIG FAT JERK, so we walked down the street and went into another one and had a few drinks, then we decided to go back to the hotel and go to sleep. The next day we sat in the amazingly small jucuzzi and then went down to PB right down the street from where we used to live. We had lunch at Joes crab shack (it was everyones first time) it sucked so gross, then we went into the most random store I have ever been in in my entire life, they had EVERYTHING...all of it completly pointless decorative stuff but super cute, we spent about an hour in there just walking around, they had so much stuff I was a little overwhelmed, and my eyes hurt from being busy. We left there and went over to the store and bought lots of drinks it was John's birthday and we wanted it to be so fun that we couldnt remember!!! We went back to get ready for the night and completely forgot about all the fun drinks we had bought. So we manged to get half of one down within the 5 minutes before our taxi got there. Our friend got us on the VIP list for a bar/club called the Wiskey Girl which was awesome because we didnt have to wait in line, we just walked right in, we danced and I did a birthday shot with John, then we went over to another place called the Tavern had some more drinks, then our birthday boy got sick :( so we got a taxi went back to our room, and John wanted us to wake him up in an hour, but we all fell asleep...so in the morning Paul and I woke up around 8:30 and we took a shower he ran out to del taco to get some of those big fat breakfast tacos (they are amazing) We got ready then woke up John and Myleacka, packed up to leave and went out for breakfast at El Torrito, then we went over to Sunset Cliffs which is where I used to go all the time when I lived there and walked on the cliffs and played with the crabs, Paul and I were trying to find the spot where we carved our names over 5 years ago but we couldnt find it, then we left for home to see out babies because we missed them sooooo much, especially Paul cause he had been gone since Monday. On our way out we stopped by our old apartment, It was so weird seeing everything but it was nice, I still like the mountains way better for raising my family, I think I would have been miserable trying to start a family down there. I was raised up here too and I really liked it, I feel safer, also there is parking here, When I lived in San Diego there was never parking!!! A few times I parked as far as 3/4 of a mile away from my apartment because that was the closest spot, I couldn't imagine doing that with kids! This was my fun weekend! I'm sad it went by so fast! I have more pics posted at myspace.com/vashonnte

How did you celebrate your last birthday?
Oh it was soooo fun, we woke up and my husband made a HUGE breakfast, with big fluffly french toast, bacon, sausage, eggs, and fresh fruit. Then it started snowing so I was just thinking we could sit home and have a relaxing day, but he got on the phone and invited a bunch of my friends over for a party, my sister came over with a cake amd decorated my car and Paul bar-b-qued and my friends and family came over, we just partied all night. Then later we went out to a little bar down the street that and danced until 2am It was a blast!
What's the last thing you bought yourself, just for fun?
well this weekend I bought some super cool hot pink knee high socks, and some black and pink ones with sparklies, that I wore with my jean skirts over the weekend in the rain...I didnt even care I was just happy it wasnt snowing! haha!
What would the child you once were think of the adult you have become?
depending on the age of the child I were to think of, my answers would be completely different, if I think back to 7 years old I think I would be really sad that I wasnt a mariene biologist and I didnt live at the beach, and I would be shocked that I have 2 boys and not 2 girls. But if I think back between 12 and 13, I would be estatic that Paul is my husband and I would be a little surprised that I have kids this young, and I would think I was a weirdo for moving back to the mountains and not staying at the beach, and probably disappointed that I didn't stay in college in San Diego. But for the most part my child me would smile, cause i'm not your 'avarage adult' I'm still a big kid, I like to have fun and when I go places I tend to dance in the street and sing "party in my tummy" with my sister, I just have fun and I really dont care what people think about me, which I think I tend to have more fun than some cause I'm not wondering what the person next to me is going to think, and that is exactly how I was when I was a kid!

Have you ever played a practical joke on anyone? If so, what did you do and who was your victim?
I have played lots of jokes but one that was really fun was when I was 14 and I was with Paul who is now my husband and we were camping and while everyone was sleeping we put shaving cream all over all of them, it was everywhere!! Oh and a couple of weeks ago, my sister and I snuck into my friend John's house while he was at work and I taped up everything, with the invisible clear tape, like I tapes the top to his belnder, I taped the oatmeal box together, all the tops to the body wash in the shower, light switches, cd's, whatever I could think of, then when i ran out of stuff to tape, I hung the remaining tape at the doorways so when he would walk through it would stick to him! It was sooooo funny I did all this while my sister cleaned...hahaha!
Soup
What do your salt and pepper shakers look like?
They are really pretty, they are clear and they are both the grinding ones.

Thankful Thursday
What I am thankful for today is my oldest son Jake finally learning how to go to the potty all the time, he has been doing so well, and I think now its officially safe to say that he is POTTY TRAINED!!!! I am so happy I have been trying for almost 2 years and now he's got it! Also my little one Jordan, who is 18 months is getting really close, he recognizes when he has to go pee but he always goes in the shower sor some reason, at least hes trying, he sits on his little elmo potty he's gone on that once, but his favorite place is the shower, he will just take his diaper off and run in there, maybe i will start getting him to use his potty more often if I put that in the shower...so anyway that is what I am thankful for today!

My Weekend
So my hubby got to come home late Valentine's day night, it was so exciting! The best Valentine's Day gift...him calling me to say he was just calling me to wish me a Happy Valentine's Day and he was sorry he couldn't be home and to pick him up around 9:30pm from the airport! I screamed, I was sooooo happy! So he came home and we just lounged around the house and went to the park, just spent time together, talked watched movies, all that fun stuff. Then came Monday...it was bittersweet because it was his last day home until he had to leave again, it was so nice though, we played with the kids all day and then we got to take them to my mom's to spend the night (we had to wake up at 3:30am to get him to the airport ontime) but we had a nice night together, we did his laundry and talked/laughed. He is amazing, and already our kids know he is away at work for the next few days, and boy are they taking advantage of it, already driving me crazy...they are such little angels when he is home, but the minute Paul leaves they turn into 3 foot monsters! So its finally 7:00 my favorite time I am putting them to bed! YAY!!! So that was my relaxing weekend that made me feel refreshed for a moment, and the kids draind all that out of me by noon today! haha!!

What do you order when you eat Chinese food?
Ever since my 1st pregnancy, I have HATED chinese food! I used to really like it but then babies happened, so YUCK! Oh but i do like pick up stix and I love their house chicken...in moderation.
How much have you controlled the course your life has taken? Pretty much every step of the way since I have been on my own well wait...God has guided me and because of him I am where I am today. I believe that people have the power to make their lives be what they want it to be and if they have faith and the love of the lord in their hearts they can accomplish so much. You are where you are today because of the choices you make.
Whose opinion do you value when deciding how to vote?
In all honesty I am confused as all heck about who stands where and for what, and sometimes it seems like they really try and confuse you! Seriously I am confused I just wish they would all be straight forward and tell the truth, but i guess that is all a dream... since this will be my 1st time voting I really do value my own opinion the most, but I like to hear what my parents have to say and my husband, that reminds me, I need to go register in my county.

Tiny Talk Tuesday
So tonight I was putting my oldest son Jake to bed at my parents house, (my momma is giving me a break) all day since my little sister had been home from school we had been telling her to do her homework. So when I laid them down we said our prayers and I was talking to Jake and he and I were asking each other what sounds which animals make. Then to mix things up I asked him what sound his little brother Jordan makes and Jake made a crying noise, then I asked him what sound his Aunty Ahalani makes and he said "I won't do my homework" It was so funny, I laughed so hard! He is such a funny kid!
What is the most romantic movie that you've ever seen?
That would have to be The Notebook, I have seen that movie well over 100 times and it never gets old. It reminds me a lot of us and our magical summer when I was 16.
If you could be the lover of any person alive other than your current lover, who would you pick?
Oh that would have to be Vin Diseal...causeee i love his muscles and he is just so cute to me! and his voice there is just something about it! Or Sean William Scott he is really hott too!
What scents remind you of a loved one?
Axe Clix he always wears it and it smells so good, also the way his pillow smells, when hes not home I sleep with it and I always feel he's there.

Smart Habbit Saturday
What I would like to accomplish this week, is making a routine for myself everyday, like eating breakfast, when I feed the kids and being more strict with myself with my pilates. Also I would like to hate chocolate chip cookies! Oh and get in the habbit of washing clothes everyday and putting them away after I fold them...I always just put them back in the basket, I need to stop this bad habbit.
My Crazy Night!
So tonight we had a girls night out, totally unexpected but my mom wanted to take the kids, my friend was coming up to visit me and my husband is in san francisco. So...we went out my sister, desi, rosanna and me, 1st we started at a local bar called papaya bay, it was lame nobody was there so we left and headed off to the chefs inn, again lame practically empty. So we decided to go down the hill (i was the designated driver) we get to the brandin iron (a country bar and out of the whole group im the only one who knows how to line dance) we go to the window to pay and a fight breaks out security is screaming "call 911" as they shove us in a corner to keep us safe. We look over and see out friend Summer from elementry school that was neat, we stayed for about 45 minutes then we were over it, so off to riverside to go to sevilla's. There was a $15 cover charge, but we begged and pleaded cause they were closing in an hour so they let us in for $10 each. Everyone but me got drinks then we go to step out on the dance flooe and the music COMPLETELY changes, they started playing spanish techno music, had a good beat but we didnt understand a thing, so we danced then we were approached by creepy guys, and im sorry but im not one of those girls that is going to be ok with a random strange guy coming up and putting his hand on my hips, so the 1st time i was polite and just moved away and shot him the look of "dont ever touch me again" then about 30 mins later he tries it again...yeah i wasnt so nice! i yelled and so did my sister and ran 5 feet, all his friends were laughing at him! We leave and head home, got gas at the bottom of the mountain, i dropped off my friend, then my sister, and my car breaks down!!! it seems like the gas just stopped getting to the engine, so my sister gave me her keys and i took her car home. We get back to my house and we needed to move my friends car to my side of the road and out of the neighbors paarking area, her truck was stuck in the snow (2 wheel drive) so i rocked it out, took us about 15 minutes but i did it we parked it and came home. WHAT A NIGHT!!! it could have been worse, my car could have broke down while we were down the hill! it was a very eventful night, crazy and fun a night i will never forget. but I think the next girls night out is going to be a girls night in, its just safer that way! haha! or and sorry for all the typo's im really tired! i just got home! i just hope tomorrow (technically today) is better i just hope my car will work i have to get my husband from the airport and go to a dinner for his moms wedding i forgot what it is called, then we are in the wedding on sunday! at least i won a contest! that was good news! haha!

My Honey
Today my husband has to head off for work in San Francisco, he will be up there working for about 1-2 months he gets to fly home on weekends, but I miss him so much! He is my best friend and when he leaves I feel like my world gets turned upside down, if I didn't have the kids I seriously don't know what I would do with myself! All I know right now is that I am SOOOOO excited for saturday cause I get to get him from the airport. He is my whole world and when he's gone I miss his hugs and kisses, and just talking to him and being able to hear about his day! So now I have to find something to keep me and the kids busy while he is gone, somtimes I think Jake and Jordan miss him more than I do last time they sat by the door for over an hour and fell asleep waiting for him to come home...and when he is gone I get really bad at doing the dishes! haha so I need to keep up on that! Also I updated my profile so go check it out!

Tuesday Toot
I must say I am very proud of myself, for the last couple of weeks I have really been putting myself out there and sending out blind e-mails to other realtors letting them know about the properties i have listed, and I have actually gotten a few calls about them this week, nothing serious yet but I am getting calls. It makes me smile knowing that my hard work is going somewhere. Oh and I learned how to drive in the snow and I'm pretty good at it! YAY!!
Tiny Talk Tuesday
Yesterday when i went to pick my kids up from my mom's (she gave us a break!) we were leaving and my oldest Jake said to her "Bye princess, see you later" i thought it was adorable and you could see my mom's heart melt right there, and while we were in the car he said to me "mommy you are beautiful, you are my beautiful flower." He is such a charmer, girls watch out!

snow snow GO AWAY!!!!!
Today we got more snow, yesterday more snow, we now have about 4 feet of snow in the last 5 days! I am so tired of snow I just wish it would all melt and go away. Today i was reminded of why I moved away from my hometown (which i love and where i live now) I lived here since i was 1 and moved away a week after high school graduation then moved back 4 years later because i hate the city more than I hate the snow. So today I relived the whole 'get me off this mountain' emotion, as I was shoveling snow, about 3 feet of snow off the 25 stairs to my house, my hands were frozen, my ears were numb and there was about 4 inches of solid ice under all the snow, I bent the shovel and fell down 3 times, then started crying because i was so frustrated and my husband was at work and I just needed a hug! But I finished and now i can walk from my house to my car and not almost break my neck every time it was hard but I got out a lot of anger and I havent done pilates in about 3 days so i think that made up for it, my arms feel like rubber and my tummy is really sore but its a good sore! And the funny thing is about 5 minutes after i finished shoveling it started snowing again. I'm saving the rest for my husband when he gets home! LOL!
Manic Monday
Is there anything to serious to joke about? If so, what falls into that category for you? I really hate it when people make fun or laugh about other peoples death, like those websites that have pictures or videos of car accidents, and people doing dangerous stuff and it cost them their life. I think it is not only disrespectful to the deceased but also to their families. I hate hearing people talk about how funny it is how some one was cut in two, that person had a life with people in it that cared about them, it was someones mom, dad, brother, sister, son, daughter, friend, husband, wife etc. I'm sure if any of those people had the chance to do it all over again knowing it would cost them the ultimate price I am sure they would not make the same mistake also I sont think they would want pictures of their dead bodies all over the internet. That to me is so sad and disrespectful to all of them regardless of what life they lead.
Would you rather be a tortured genius or a happy simple-minded person? Why? I would much rather be the happy simple-minded person, because if you are not happy how can you truely enjoy life?
A dear friend or family member has a terminal illness and is in agony. He/she wants you to help him/her die. What would you do? Well i definately wouldn't help them kill themselves, I would sit with them, be with them, talk to them and try to keep their mind off the pain, I would help them pray for health or just peace of mind.
