Finally, a HONEYMOON!!!!

Well, we finally did it! We are leaving the kids at home and going on a "trip" together! This is the first time in our 14 year marriage that we have done this. Sean is working in San Francisco all of this week and I am here to spend time with him when he's not!

I must admit: I was (and still am, if I'm telling the truth) pretty nervous to leave my kiddos. I know they are in good hands though and will be just fine!

So far we just checked in to our hotel and Sean went to work. I had full intentions of leaving and walking around the city. My anxiety kicked in and I am still talking myself into it! lol I am getting hungry though so I have to talk quickly! It's either those $4.00 M&M Candies over there or walk to Subway or California Pizza Kitchen and get something. EEEK! Guess I am still that small town girl lol. The city can be intimidating!
More to come! I will post pictures and tell all about our fun adventures while Sean is at work!
Tummy's growling! I'm going to brave the big bad city! Wish me luck!

B is getting a Cavity filled today! Happy Presidents Day to him!!

We decided to celebrate today by going to the dentist! Woohoo!!

What a week!

Oh my goodness! What a week it has been! Brayden woke up at 6AM on Monday morning to tell me that he had thrown up on his bedroom carpet and that he still didn't feel well. He ended up throwing up 11 times before noon. I finally couldn't take seeing him so sick anymore so I gave him some medicine that the hospital had given Kaylee for anti nausea about seven months ago. He had a fever until Wednesday afternoon and then it finally broke. Mind you, in all this time he has barely eaten enough to keep even at tiny creature alive. Fortunately he was able to keep fluids down after I gave him the medicine. Today he said he wanted to try to go to school so I said he could give it a shot. The school called at 11 and said he wasn't doing too good and needed to come home.
I went and got him and we rested most of the day. (Because all this time I have not felt good either.) So around 4:00 today I was starting dinner and he was saying that he was starving....GREAT sign! We had meatloaf, mashed potatoes and corn. I gave him a small piece of meatloaf and he devoured it! He has been starving ever since. AWESOME NEWS right!? "He's feeling better", I thought!
.................Hes been in the bathroom all night............

REALLY!? ARGH! Poor kid can't catch a break!

Earlier tonight Kaylee and I were getting ready to go to Savemart. As we were walking out to the truck I saw a HUGE toad hopping around on the driveway! The kids were loving watching him jump around....until he jumped right on into our garage! Kaylee about died! lol SO HILARIOUS! In our garage Sean has built some shelving for storage. This cute little,big toad went right next to our "sports bin" and I could not get back there. So I told Kaylee that we would just go to Savemart and that maybe when we got home he would show himself and I could catch him and let him go in the yard.
I guess I should clarify why she is freaking out.....we have a doggy door that we keep open so Maverick can go outside if he wants. LOL She was wigging out so bad worried that the frog was going to come in the house! I was cracking up!
Anyway...so when we got home he was out and by her bike tire. I got a cup and tried to catch him and he scurried away and went under some other stuff we have out there. FOILED AGAIN! Hes a sneaky little thing! So I came back in the house. Served the kiddos some dessert and then went on froggy watch again. Actually....I am a very messed up individual. I thought it would be kind of funny to give it some time and then when Kaylee finished her dessert I sent her out to look for it! BAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA (Is this only funny to me? Are you laughing??) I was cracking up!
Anyway...so she went out there and came in leaping and screaming "I found him he's by my bike again! HURRY!!! Come catch him!!!"
So I go out there and got a cup and I was able to capture him this time. The minute I got him in the cup I hear a high pitched squeal and the scattering of little feet and a door...SLAM!!!! Kaylee had run in the house! She ditched me! I took the frog out to the lawn and as I was letting him go I walked in and said "You'd better closet the garage door before he hops back in!" She she pushed the button and it scared the frog and he started hopping. She freaked out and again I hear a squeal, scurrying on feet and SLAM!!! ..........(Crickets chirping).............. She had ditched me again! LOL I guess maybe you had to be here but it was hilarious!
I swear every time Sean is away on business trips this house goes to chaos LOL. None of the peculiar stuff happens when he's here! Cracks us up!
So we are nearing the weekend and we are interested and excited to see what tomorrow will bring! We are hoping for a fully mended boy and NO frog drama!
I feel like I'm leaving something out. This post may officially be "To be continued"

My recipes!

I have figured out how to add pages to my blog! (Thanks to my cousin Niki!) I can add up to 20 different pages! I made a few different tabs. If you look just under the picture of my little family there are some tabs you can click on.  I will try to add more recipes soon. There are a lot of good ones in my collection!

Monster Truck Races!!

So we had originally planned to be in LA this weekend and plans fell through. Since we didn't get to go there and go to Disneyland like we had planned we decided to sit on our butts and watch television! .....Hold on, Hold on....that's not the funnest part! While we were watching television I saw a commercial for Monster Jam!! I immediately called Sean and asked what he though about going. He went to Arco Arena a couple hours later and got our tickets! I have wanted to go see the Monster Truck races since I was a kiddo! And especially since Grave Digger was going to be there! When Sean told me he went and got tickets I was so excited I about peed my pants!
We went last night and it was SOOO fun!!!
For some reason it will not let me post the killer videos we got! It only let me post the video of the motorbikes which is in the post just below this one, I believe. I'll have to see if I can compress the videos we have of the trucks doing their freestyle runs so you can all see them! In the meantime here are some pics we got! :o)

GRAVE DIGGER!!!!

Spiderman!!!!

 Spidey Vs. Grave Digger...

 Spidey wins!!!!

 This (above) is the Spiderman truck Vs. Titan. Titan is the only California driver there. (That night) He beat Spidey in the drags and this was his first win of 2012.

 I found this guy somewhere along the way....He's a pretty good dude. I'm gonna keep him. Plus, I kinda like him! <3

We had a very good time! We are very excited for the motocross Freestyle Competitions in February! Brayden about died when he saw all the tricks those motorcyclists could do! Kaylee had a great time too!

Motorbikes at the Monster Truck Races!!!

This is a video of the Motorbikes they had there. This peeked our interest so much that we are going back on Feb 24th or 25th to watch these dudes tear it up!

Organization Makes Me Happy!

I will be the first to admit that I have been a huge slacker! 2011 threw me for a loop and I got so behind! But now....I'm back!! And oh is it nice!! I think my menu's and my cleaning chart are my most favorite!
