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.

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.
