Around the block we go!

We are feeling better today, after getting over a cold. It has been icky for the last few days, so we have been inside. Today the sun shined for just a bit, and we took advantage of it. Joey wanted to ride his new bike he got from sissy for Christmas around the block. I could hardly keep up with him.We went around two times, and will hopefully build it up to 5 soon. If so I think that would be a mile a day. Gotta keep to my goal. As soon as we got out of our gate, he was ready to race and shot around our corner. Our house is like a big "L" and it sits on two lots, so as he went around the corner to the front of our house I was already running. This little boy keeps me on my toes!

                                                          Ready, Set, Go!

                                                    He takes off like a bullet
                                                        

                                                     I'm speeding mommy!

                                                    Mommy is left in the dust!

New Year...New Blog

I think I may be a little crazy to add more work for myself...But anyway. I have started a journal blog. Nothing spectacular, just a little writing of my day. I'm thinking this may also help me with remembering certain things, you know as we get older, our memories start to go. I need all the help I can get. There probably will not be many pictures, that will be on my original blog, but there will be daily writings. Wish me luck!!!

Happy New Year!!!

With the new year here, it is always time for our resolutions. I have a few and want to really work towards actually achieving them. I think if we make our resolutions not so out of reach, we will find them easier to fulfill. My first resolution is to take better care of myself (eating right,exercise) The whole Mind, Body and Spirit. Second, I want to really work harder on my books (I am working on 3). I want to set better goals for myself that way I don't get in a hurry and don't become overwhelmed,thus better writing.  I also need to slow down a little and not try to get everything done in one day. Do one thing at a time, not the usual trying to do 10 things at once, not good on the memory. Good luck everyone, and have the best 2010 ever!

Joey lost his first tooth!!!

My son lost his first tooth lastnight. I can't believe it, it's too early to start losing teeth. Well he got his first tooth at 3 months, and had a mouthful by the time he turned 1, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. The week before Christmas I had my neices over for the night, and Kaytlyn had 2 teeth that were about to come out. She lost one that evening and the other the next day. Joey had told me "Mommy I have a loose tooth too" I said to him "No baby, you are too little to lose your teeth" Well, while we were in Merced I was brushing his teeth, he normally brushes his own teeth, and I saw that he had another tooth growing in back of his bottom tooth. I said "Oh my gosh, you have another tooth coming in" His response to me was "I told you I had a loose tooth, and you didn't believe me did you" Of course I want to cry (but didn't). He then showed me how his tooth was wiggely. I was lost for words other than "Mommy is sorry" He didn't let me forget either that I didn't believe that he had a loose tooth. Who would of thought that a 4 year old would start getting their big teeth. He finally pulled it out last night and put it under his pillow for the tooth fairy!!! It was sooo cute how proud he was of his loose tooth and showed anyone who would look.

Good-bye Christmas

I can't believe that Christmas is over. Our's was a little extended this year as we had my very sweet and very funny brother-in-law visit for a few day's after Christmas. We started on Wednesday and ended on Tuesday. We went to Merced and stayed with my other very sweet and very funny brother-in-law and his family. We did our usual...Family Poker game, which is always fun. Of course Joey won, but me and my sister-in-law always try to give him a run for his money! It's fun to see the three brothers enjoy time together and they always talk about old times, remembering the crazy things they used to do as teenagers, most of which their mother never knew of. We always have a good time with them, thanks guys!!! We came home very late Christmas eve, we couldn't forget Santa's cookies and milk, as my son reminded us and of course we had to be home to get our gifts from Santa. Christmas morning came and Santa did too, the cookies and milk were all gone, and like a tornado my son tore threw his gifts...non-stop. You would have thought he had never had a gift in his whole life...It was great! We were so tired from the trip to Merced that we just layed around in our jammies, ate and played games all day.

Am I Done Yet???

Well, Im finally finished with my Christmas cards...whew. It was a long process, but worth it. Hope everyone likes them! Now onto the baking...Lots of baking that is. Since my Mom and Ronnie have everything in the world, the last 3 or 4 years now I have been making them big goodie baskets with junk, goodies and munchies. Who doesn't love that!!! Needless to say they look forward to it every year. Mom made a point to ask me this year if I was going to do a goodie basket for them, and when I said yes she did this little dance that was soooo funny, I could not help but crack up laughing. The woman is just crazy with a double z!!! I am making them for Joey's co-workers as well so I need to get a move on it. Today and tomorrow are my baking days and then on to the cooking.....I just love Christmas!!!!

OMG

In a rush...No time for pictures...Finishing up Christmas cards...Need to mail by tomorrow...UGH, I hate when I wait til the last minute.
