Do you ever

Do you ever go through days where you feel like you don't really have anything to blog about?  That is the mode I'm in right now.  Lately just seems like the normal stuff.  I mean today I did dig up a dead rose bush and rake some leaves.  The boys are running around enjoying their spring break.  I thought that this weekend we would go to California, but the weather has changed some and I think its to cold to go to the beach.  I also didn't feel all that great about being on the beach and the possibility of getting sucked up by a Tsunami.
(insert bad humor) My heart really goes out to those in Japan.  I can not even imagine what they are going through. 

We did get our taxes done.  Glad we are done with that for another year..Right now I'm just really in mom mode.  We have been going bike riding with the kids.  We bought a cute bike trailer that hubs attaches to his bike.  Haha!! We strap in Alec and Blake and Mark rides his bike.  Alec is still on training wheels and would have a harder time keeping up.  Its been a lot of fun.  I've really been enjoying it.  I missed going for bike rides.  Growing up I was always riding my bike. So much fun.

I've been spring cleaning like crazy trying to get the kids clothes sorted through and outta the house.  I am always burried under in laundry and I have 6 baskets of clean laundry (atleast) to put away..Maybe that is where I should be focusing right know:)

Blake broke my camera, so I haven't even been taking as many pictures lately.
All the boys had ear infections.  Which is strange for them to all have it..I guess maybe just passing the bacteria around.  A few weeks ago we all went to the Dr every few days or so. Hopefully now that its warming up it will stay gone and away.

Did you all see where route 1 in California collapsed?  Google it the pictures are insane..A 100ft stretch just collapsed..Due to erosion..

So the laundry pile awaits me! Hope you all are enjoying your spring! I know I am!!

Where have I been?

I've had a busy couple of weeks! I threw one of my girlfriends a surprise 30th  birthday party.  It was a lot of fun, but oh so much work.

I had been planning this for awhile.  I'd say since back in December.  I wanted to blog about it so bad but didn't want to ruin the surprise for her just in case she reads..Don't think she does, but you never know:)
I had to talk to her husband and the only way I could do that was to stop by his football practice and get his ok.  He was excited as he wanted to do something special for her.  I talked with her mother in law and a few friends here and there.
So I started out asking her hubby who she was the closest with.  His answer..well you mainly..Great!! So I started to plow through all her friends on facebook.  Got a lot of addresses and made a cute invite.  Got the invites out and the rest was pretty easy.
Cleaning the house was a challenge.  Always is with 3 boys.  I think I have realized that I will never be Martha Stewart.  I'm to unorganized for that.  Hopefully things will get better as I am still working on it. I used to be more organized but having kids really took that away.
So Friday we went out to dinner.  We were going to go to Chilis..but they were PACKED.  So we ended up at IHOP.  Word of advice..don't ever get the milkshake there..3.99 for a regular drink sized chocolate syrup and icecream shake.  To top it off the waitress acted offended when we mentioned that was a lot for such a small shake.

She will love this one:)

Some of the cute decor I made.  Haven't taken it down yet!
So we enjoyed our small shake and ended up coming to my house.  I told her I painted my kitchen and wanted her opinion.  As soon as we walked in got this loud Surprise!! For her..she was so shocked and didn't know what to say.  I had made Chili and we had appetizers and it was really great:)

my new blog

I started up another blog..I hope you will check it out.  It has to do with my journey to finding the right path and having a relationship with God.  I hope you will check it out.  I can not stand the thought of my friends not making it into heaven and living eternity in the lake of fire.  I myself am learning and know its going to be a long road.  Part of me is sort of embarrassed to even be blogging about it at all.  But this is who I am and what I believe and maybe I can help someone who is struggling just like I am. Trying to find truth and answers.  So please check it out and become a follower.  I promise to only post truth and what I am going through:)

Dreams....

What are your dreams?  Or like me do you feel like some where out of the blue you stopped dreaming?   My husband asked me the other day to write down my goals and dreams..Really not sure what to write.  Of course there is always the want and need to be healthy. To have healthy happy successful children.  But what about me?  Not to sure I know anymore.  Day to day stuff has me wondering..
Have any of you lost your dreams? No where to be found and you want them back?

Justice, eh I think not

You remember the story of my hit and run victims the other day right? Well if not you can see it here.  Last night I left Wal-Mart and I saw a green car that looked so similar to the one that took off on Monday night.  So I decided to follow and see if it was in fact the car.  The way he flew through the parking lot made me more than suspicious.  So I pull out of Wal-Mart on to Airway I see the car flying down the road.Basically all I want to do is drive by and get the license plate number and see if I can see a dent on his front bumper. Well apparently that was not in the cards.  I watch as the car turns on to Willow and look in my rear view mirror..There is a lovely police car following me! I knew before he even turned on his lights I was BUSTED. So I get ready to turn off and prepare to pull over as he turns his lights on.  He walks up to the car and asks me if I know why he pulled me over. I said I know exactly why you pulled me over, but can I tell you why.  He said ok..I'm sure guessing that I had some wild story to tell him.  I really did! So I tell him what happened and he asks me the typical questions...Like when did this happen, What kind of car was it, where did it happen..Clearly not believing me. So a few minutes later he walks back up to my car and hands me my warning to sign.  Tells me next time to call them and let them handle it. That if I approach him, he could come after me.  What?! I was not about to approach him! I just wanted to get his plate number..So trying to be a good citizen didn't really pay off and those people who got hit didn't get one ounce of Justice. I swear sometimes  I am way too nice. I ended up feeling like an idiot, Mr. Police officer totally didn't believe me and the zippy little green car got away! Thankfully I didn't get a ticket he was nice in that aspect..but still I was super Mad!

The boys

I told Mark to be careful last night.  I bought him one of those ginourmous pencils from the dollar store and I told him to be careful because he could hurt himself.  He likes to carry his things around. Alec pipes in and says, "Ya Mark you could kill your life." Although not funny the way he said it was really cute.  I just love these guys. They are great!
