Gabriel's Baseball

Gabriel is in baseball and he love's it. He has a game every saturday, it's so fun that we have something to look forward to do as a family on saturday's. The season is almost over but he will play again in the spring. He really wants to play football but it makes me so nervous. I talked to one mom and she said on her son's league one boy was paralyzed and there have been some broken bone's also. That freaks me out! That doesn't sound like fun to me but he probally will play in the fall, that's his favorite sport.

I can't post pic's!!

For some reason I can't post any pic's on my blog or facebook. I am so frustrated cause I don't get much time to get on here and when I do my computer is screwed up. I'll figure it out eventually or Ryan will. So picture's are soon to come. On another note I'm excited for New Moon to come out this week! I Can't wait to see it. So I finally reached 20miles last week in my training for Rock N Roll Marathon, I never thought I could run that much! It was such an amazing feeling to finish that! I love running on saturday's there are so many people out running or riding bike's and everyone is happy everyone say's hi, wave's or smile's at everyone, definetly different than your everyday life when people avoid eye contact or are in such a rush and so grumpy. That's a bonus to running saturday morning, smiling is contagious, I love it. :)

BRAD PAISLEY

Brad Paisley 2009

We went to Brad Paisley October 1st. Ryan surprised me with 4th row tickets. After Jimmy Wayne and Dierks Bentley played they let us move right next to the stage! Brad Paisley walked right past us so many time's and every time he did me and a whole bunch of other girls touched his leg. It was so much fun! we were right next to the speaker so sometimes we couldn't hear him sing but I'm not complaining it was amazing! Jimmy Wayne went crowd surfing right where we were, there's a picture in the collage, my hands are the one's with the green nails and Ryan's are the other one's. We had so much fun!

Just plain old fun!

Here's a few moments out of my three little monkey's live's. Jeremiah playing in Gabriel's jeep, he couldn't reach the pedal yet but he sure loved pushing all the buttons and dancing to the music(he bounce's everytime he hears music) Bella dancing to the Hannah Montana movie which she absolutely loved! Gabriel fishing at the pond, he could stay there all day if I let him. Oh and of course dancing in the rain, I wish I could be little again no worries and playing all day! I love to live in these moments with them and watch them grow they are so amazing!

Happy 6th Birthday Gabriel!

My little man turned 6 on September 10th! I can't believe it! He woke up and opened presents, went to school then we had dinner at the cheesecake factory then went bowling, he love's to bowl. We had his pirate birthday party that weekend. The kids had so much fun, they went on a treasure hunt. Gabriel is getting so big too fast, I can't believe it! He love's to go swimming and is really good at it, love's to play XBOX(thanks to Ryan he love's Halo) love's guns, fishing, playing football, baseball, riding his bike and of course playing tackle with his dad. He is so full of energy and I love having him in my life!

What we are up to

So football season has started already and you know how much Ryan love's the Dolphins so this is one sunday where they were all in their football jersey's watching the game. "This is the year" Ryan tells me, he's said this every year since I have met him(12years) I hope this year really is the year. Jeremiah is 7 1/2 months old already! He's crawling everywhere, he's been doing it for about 3weeks now. He's so content now that he can get around and explore.

I am teaching myself to play guitar, I can play Jingle Bells, I love it! I wish I had more time to practice but between my three kids, Ryan and other things going on it's hard to find the time. I also bought a violin so I can take lesson's but I haven't started yet. I used to play when I was younger and I want my kids to play an instrument so I thought if they see me they will want to.

This is Jeremiah so happy he finally pulled himself up on this chair after a week of trying he did it!

My crafty side

I love having a little girl, they are so fun to shop for and my little Bella is so fun to go shopping with. We are soulmates, she love's all the little accesories so I started making them for her and she absolutely loves them! The hello kitty bow took me forever but I thinks it's so cute. I'm not really crafty but I'm starting to sew and do little girly stuff like this. It's so fun and I love to see Bella so happy. Gabriel is always asking me why I don't make him anything and I tell him little boys don't wear bows or flowers or hairclips. I need to find something to make him. I'll probally just make him another superhero cape.

First Day of School

Bella started preschool and Gabriel started kindergarden(all day) They were both very excited for school. I wasn't going to put Bella in preschool but she wanted to go so bad and I found a dance studio that did both dance and preschool in one. So that is why Bella is wearing her dance outfit, they do dance for about an hour then they have preschool and she absolutely love's it! Her teacher's names are Miss Peggy and Miss Tia but if you ask her she'll tell you her teacher's name is Miss Piggy. Gabriel is doing great also, he does say it is long. One day I picked him up he came running in from recess and was holding a little girl's hand. I asked him who was the little girl he was holding hands with and he said " I wasn't holding anyone's hand" I said you can tell me, why were you holding her hand. he said " Cause she's my friend and that's what friends do" he also told me that she hugs him a lot. I'm so happy for them but they are growing up too fast!

Happy Birthday Ryan!

Ryan celebrated his 31st birthday on July 20th. He had a news interview, which I posted already, the morning of his birthday. He says he wasn't nervous just excited and he and my mom did a great job. 12 News contacted him for an interview after AZ republic did an article on the business.Good job babe! We went to canyon lake and it was so hot but so much fun. The kids had a blast like always. We also went bowling, Gabriel and Bella love to bowl. Bella would throw her little arms up and scream everytime the ball would eventually hit the pins. Gabriel had a little dance when he would knock some pins down.Happy Birthday Ryan! I hope you had a good one.






It took forever for Bella's ball to finally get to the pins.

another dance after knocking the pins down
She would get so excited even if it was a few pins. She would run up to Ryan and I and give us high five's.

...and we danced

Gabriel and Bella got dressed up and said they were going to a dance. Bella is wearing a dress that I wore when I was little(Ryan calls it her pilgrim dress)now it is one of her many play dresses. They also included Jeremiah. Then they danced the night away...


The Dip

They are so cute

Jeremiah got to wear Bella's wedding veil, lucky him. This is what life is all about, moment's like this to capture forever, they crack me up.

Must be doing something right.

The other day we went out to lunch at some restaurant with the kids. Between eating and trying to keep the kids busy coloring and eating(the normal routine when eating out) some old couple were walking out the door and the old man came up to me and said "You ought to be complimented on how well behaved your children are, normally when we go out to eat and their are children around they usually raise hell but your kids behave very well" I of course thanked him, I just couldn't believe it because I think my kids are crazy and I feel sometimes they are out of control and of course don't listen to me. This really made my day that some stranger came up to me and said this. I guess sometimes us mom's don't give ourself credit for all the hard work we do.

Runaway

I have been trying to get back to running (it's such a great escape) but I am finding it challenging because I have a couple of obstacle's. Jeremiah who has been sleeping through the night since he was 1 1/2 months old is for some reason starting to get up 2-4 times a night so I don't have all my rest. It's getting hot outside and I absolutely hate running on the treadmill so I need to wake up around 5:30-6am to beat the heat and I'm not a morning person. These are of course just excuses, so I will be running tired and dripping with sweat, see ya on the street.

Ventura, CA

Ryan had to go to California for business so we all tagged along, we had so much fun! We went to Ventura, CA it was crazy coming from 100 degree weather to 60 degree. They call it Doom June cause it's windy and chilly but it was nice to get out of the heat for awhile. There was a day where it was 70 so that was perfect. We played at a couple of parks on the beach which was awesome! I would love to go to the park all the time if I lived there. One day we rented a car that you peddle like a bike and rode down the coast, which was so beautiful, that was so much fun and good excercise. You get an hour when you rent it which I was thinking only an hour, but that was good enough, I was so tired. One day when we were at the beach it was windy and I was trying to block the wind with the umbrella so Jeremiah could relax(he hated the wind) but it threw sand in his face and I kinda panicked and threw the umbrella to stop the sand, the next thing I know Ryan is running down the beach trying to catch the umbrella because the wind took it, it was the funniest thing ever! I was laughing so hard I was crying.Good times! It was such a short trip but it was fun and relaxing.

Gabriel and Bella playing on the beach

Muahh!

My handsome little guy, he makes me so happy

I thought the camera already took the picture. I was trying to get the perfect picture.

The perfect picture.

I jumped into Ryan's arms without him even knowing I was going to do it.
