Help me Win

So while blog jumping I found out about this super cute blog created by a mom with young children. This mom is very creative and loves to make things and share her ideas. She also has giveaways. I added the button to her blog on the side on mine. Everyone should check it out.


To my sisters: The current giveaway is something that your sweet niece would absolutely love. You all should enter to win it for her.

Charlie's Angel Wannabe

Jill thinks it is fun to go pee pee in the potty. I got to say I don't hate it. My sister on the other hand hates it since she is trying to potty-train Dax and he is not feeling it. I, being such a loving sister think it is hilarious! So I love to rub it in every chance that I can.

Tonight Jill told me she needed to go potty so I took her, and she went. Since she had just gone I knew I was good to have her without a diaper for awhile so I thought I would see how she liked panties. Well, I one have 1 daughter and she is still a BABY so I took a pair of Mason's underwear and tried them on her. She LOVED it. I had to fight her to take them off. I guess next time I am at Target I should probably get her some pretty panties.

Day at the Park

What a nice day it turned out to be yesterday. Because it was a holiday I was off and Lucas had no school. It has been forever it seems since I have been able to take them to a park. So I decided to find a new park that they had not been to and take them. I have heard from many people of a park referred to as the “wooden park” because it appears to be made of all wood and not plastic and metal like the traditional parks are. Well I found it and it is actually called the “Miwok Park”. The kids had a great time.
Mason practiced and practiced and was able to master the fireman pole. (Unfortunately we didn’t get a picture of him on it-not really sure why).
Lucas really enjoyed the tire swing, however he over did it a little and when we got home he just laid on the couch because his tummy was still twisting.
Jill loved the slides. She loved to go down the slide with her brothers and by herself. She is getting to be such a big girl.

The kids going down the slide-Mason decided at the last minute to go down so he grabbed Lucas' shirt and held on as Jill and Lucas went down.

Holiday Update

Sorry to those that check my blog but I have no good excuse for being a slacker. I could totally give a huge list of excuses but I won't. Since my last blog was Halloween a few more holidays have come to past. There was Thanksgiving which we stayed home for and family came over. There was good food and I ate a lot. Then came Christmas, the first Saturday of the month we went to Apple Hill and cut down a tree and had a family lunch at sportsman lodge. Then on Christmas Eve I got the privilege of having my sweet nephews Dax and Cale spend the night with me and my family because both of their parents had to work. So that meant I got to watch 5 excited little people awake up on Christmas morning. It was wonderful. We had a great Christmas the kids all got more than they needed and I actually still have gifts that have not been opened so I may re-gift them since the boys have birthdays right around the corner (shh!). The unforgettable Christmas morning memory will have to be when Jill found the left over Santa cookie and decided to eat it. She ate half then Cale found the rest and finished it off. Silly babies nothing like chocolate chip cookies first thing in the morning. Here are a few pictures of Christmas:
