New Picture

I just checked out my own blog and realized that I really need to post a new family picture! We look nothing like "those" parents anymore. I think we will take one on Sunday cuz my SIL takes good ones ;)

SO...... I'm thinking of posting pics from the summer.


Just thinking..........................

The Turd turns 2!

Trying to smile while holding on to his "scowl"


super tired after Easter. at least his shoes match his PJ's


holding on for dear life at Knott's Berry Farm. he was shaking. it was funny


Just being his "turd" self.
always climbing on the counter while I'm cooking. really safe



Just let me start out by saying that Ace is the biggest little crap ever! He threw the craziest tantrum last night @ 10pm cuz he didn't want to sleep in his bed/crib. He wanted to take my place in my bed! And when he finally fell asleep, he woke up again 5 minutes later crying! I finally had to take him to sleep in the guest bed so Rick (who is sick) could get some sleep. To top it all off, Cade woke up screaming, as usual, and then after I got him to go back to sleep Ace woke up again! I.am.tired. today! But, he is still the cutest 2 year old "turd" ever.

We didn't do a big party because we went to San Diego on his Birthday and we have a plethora of Ball games every Saturday until the end of May. So I made cupcakes on Easter and thought since my whole family, and 11 other kids, would be there, what better time to celebrate! His birthday is at a great time of year because at least we see one side of the family during Easter so I am thinking we will always celebrate it then.

We love our "Ace of Base", "the TURD", "Turd Bomber", "Ace Bomb Base" and our "Ace the Base the Stinky Face" even if he is a little sh.. I mean poop ;). But we are, for sure, buying him his own "real bed" for his birthday!

So excited for our 10 year Anniversary! I just booked a 7 night cruise to Mexico! And we will actually be on the cruise the date of our anniversary. Can't wait!!!

Might be TMI, but it's a cute story anyway!

So, I hadn't had my monthly curse (or blessing in this case) since December. Well, I didn't think much of it, seeing as though Rick was "broken" around this time last year. But When February got here, I was beginning to think that he wasn't shooting blanks after all. I took like 5 EPT's and they were all negative, whew! But i got to thinking, Rick really needs to go back and get those suckers checked! So last week I was beginning to think that baby #6 might be on his way, but to my delight, I got IT!!!!! YAY for me! So I told Ricky the good news and he was actually sad! What!? Then he said that having babies with me is never a bad thing and that he really did think that i was Pregnant. He was looking forward to having 6 KIDS! Well, this is information that could have been used a year ago. But anyway, I'm glad that we will not be having any more kids, ever, unless, by the grace of God, a miracle happens (which I an NOT hoping for in the slightest)! Just gotta wait for the OK that he really was broken. So my advice.... Go back for that 2nd visit to get the goods checked or you will always wonder and be worried!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to toot my own horn for a moment. I painted these dried gourds and made them into ornaments last Friday at our Enrichment night. Let me just say... they may not look like much, but it took me a heck of a long time to finish them. Rick was proud of me, so I'm good!

Don't you just love the "Deer caught in the Headlights" look?
