Teresa the Birthday Girl!!

The full body shot of the outfits.

Birthday girl blowing out the pretend lit candles. She made her own cupcakes aren't they cute, the smiley face tasted so good.

How much better can it get to have your shout out while it is your turn bowling and happen to have the camera rolling, nice. However 27 th, not sure who told them that.

Everyone in every one's personal space.

Teresa sporting the bed head 80's style.

Happy Birthday Teresa,

I had a Rad time.

The Barry Family Farm

The Barry's are friends of Dad and Lisa's and they have a little farm that the kids love to go and visit. Lisa was told they had baby lambs and that they should let the kids come out and see them, so that is what they did Friday after they picked them up. Lisa burned these pictures for me so I wanted to share them with everyone.

Papa, Grandma, and all the grand babies, as Lisa calls them.

Ashton so very proud of the chicken eggs.

Kirsten and her baby Jack.

She loves to pose.

I love this picture, no doubt these are all mine and Daniel's kids.

A group picture which no one seems to be into.

A pile of poo!! Very interesting at the age of 2.

A ram, I love how he isn't scared to touch everything, I wouldn't have even got in the pin to begin with.

The girls with a lovable horse.

Papa and Jack, sucking his thumb, like always.

Cathy Barry showing the kids how to feed the chickens by hand.

Don't you love the face.

Looks like the kids had a lot of fun, thanks for taking the time to take them, I know it is a lot of work.

Getting Ready For The Party

Teresa and Amber got ready before we went to the mall to get me ready. Harliee and Gracie were loving the 80's music turned up in the room, here is a cute video to show you.

Harliee

Mommy, note, not much different huh

After the girls were done getting ready, we stopped by Dan's (Teresa's husband) work, for those of you that don't know he works at a dealership and BMW of all. This girl is ashamed of nothing, apparently.

This is Gabe at the Mac counter doing my make up, wow, it makes my eyes hurt just looking at the color. No joke, Amber and Teresa on the escalator in Nordstrom at the Galleria, crazy I know. You should have seen the looks, pointing fingers, laughs, and some props they were getting.

The First Night Away

Baby Jack has slept in the same house as me for 10 months now, until last Friday, he was kissed by someone else before he went to bed, and he was sad about it and so was I. I know that Grandma took good care of him, she has always done way more then I would normally do, but the first night is always hard.

The kids were really excited about going to stay at Papa and Grandma's house, they haven't got to see them that much lately and they miss them so much.

Thank you so much Dad and Lisa for watching my circus while I went to have a night by myself.

43 Weeks Old

He is finally crawling like a normal baby now, and it is so stinking cute, lil fat diapee butt moving around, I love it. He also started to reach for people, mostly me, but when I am gone and the kids are somewhere that is not home he goes for the Mini Mommy aka Kirsten.

Poor Rollie Pollie

42 Weeks Old

Baby Jack is always on the movethese days, he can disapear in moments now, and I really dont know which way he went. It is going to get crazy here at the circus when he can walk.

If I was Cleaning Like I Wanted To I Would Have Missed...

all of this...

Just Me

My wonderful hubby let me take off the day on Sunday. I will have to say, it was a very quit day. First I got to have lunch with Donna which I had a great time talking to her with no kids interrupting us, this was the best part of the day. Then I started a little shopping and window shopping. Somewhere at my first stop I lost my wallet, it was really just a really cute $40 coach coin purse that I kept my cards and cash in. Darn it!! Well at least I had my ATM/Visa card in my purse, that would have been horrible to loose that, the only thing I had in there was my Sams club card and drivers license. I am a little worried what would an dishonest person do with my DL but what can I really do about it, this is the only time I am glad my credit is poo. So getting past that and not letting it reunion my time I carried on. I had some gift cards left over from Christmas so I got to spend those, it was fun. I will say, I am so used to having the circus with me, and I think I want to be by myself all the time. But really I love the circus, and all the poop that comes with it. I was very happy to return home, and to a clean sink, since Daniel did the dishes for me, wasn't that nice. Thank Baby for being the hubby/ Daddy that you are, I love you so very much.

First Kiss

So not the picture I was hoping for, but it is hard to make a baby hold still. What I was trying for was a picture of me and Jack kissing, why, because he gave ME his first two kisses ever!! I nearly melted on the floor it was so sweet. I was holding him on my hip and leaned over to kiss his sweet cheeks like I do all day and then he very slowly and carefully leaned towards my face and planted one on me. How sweet is that, the first time no one was watching, then I told Daniel, "I think he just kissed me", and I repeated what had just happened and he did it again, and everyone saw it.

Ashton's First Sleepover

It was Ashton's first sleepover but he pooped out on the couch before his friend even got there, well maybe next time. However he was super excited to see that he was there when he awoke the next morning.

Nichole wants to eat my baby up, she can't put in down, she is a hard core "Baby Lover". Jack didn't mind, this is what he tries to get me to do everyday.

Being the baby lover she is, she loves to pinch cheeks and even more to kiss them, she calls this "machine gun kisses". Nichole all of a sudden got really shy when the camera was on, but I did it anyways.

Brayden thinks are backyard is the park, so we got off easy, however Ashton is no fool.

Just a wee bit of abuse going on, but Ashton was very controlled about it and just told on Brayden every time.

We can't wait till next time.

41 Weeks Old

Jackson is so silly these days, he started doing this thing where he smiles so big he looks like he is Asian. He is growing so fast right now, it is like there is something new everyday. Maybe we should have another, oh yeah that's right, we did the permanent cut :(

The Hotty Lube Man

After our play date this morning I went to get my oil changed at the BEST oil shop in town, Jiffy Lube. I looked underneath my car to find the HOTTEST lube man I have ever seen. I wonder if he is single? I heard he is married to a really wonderful women and has like 10 kids, so he is probably not interested, lol.

The nice thing with knowing the people who own this joint is that I don't have to take the boys out while the car gets serviced. That's what keeps me loyal, oh and the fact that I don't have to pay may help a little.

The lobby got a small budget makeover, and let me tell you for a guy doing the interior decorating it looks much better, but it could use a soft women's touch. Daniel was very proud of himself, nice job Baby, but leave the house up to me. Thank you and have a nice day and we will see you back in 3000 miles.

Salon Mama

Ashton normally gets his hair cut at a Barber shop, and they do an awesome job (lucky for them Ashton holds still for the most part). However they don't give you a kid rate, it is the same for Daniel's hair cut, $13 and with a $2 tip you are talking $15 for a little person's hair cut. So I decided to try and do it myself, he has light hair, and if I mess up I can just buzz it off, it will totally grow back fast, so he wont look funny for long.

Here is the before picture.

And the after.

Yes I will admit, the anal retentive person I am, I can see all the mistakes. But really, he is two, how perfect does it really need to be. Chill out Andrea, no one will probably notice, well lets hope not. He got a lollipop just like at the Barber Shop, this is the important part, for him at least.

Last Minute Playdate In Roseville

Friday was an extremely stressful day, the kids and I had plans to go to Vacaville the next day and hang out with Nicole, Mrs.Cindy, Dad and Lisa, and the other Nichole. However when I am stressed, I need (or prefer) to have nothing on my agenda, I prefer to do things as they came to me. So I cancelled all plans for Saturday, and then I ended up needing to go to Roseville/Rocklin to take care of some cell phone business and pick up a part for Jiffy Lube. So on the way out there I came up with the idea to have lunch with my pal's Donna and Teresa. It worked out that Teresa was able to have lunch with us in the mall, sweet, I like last minute plans (sometimes).

So we had lunch at the Mc D with Ashon's "girlfriends", and then head over to a play area.

It was so cute, the mall in Roseville, is so big and busy I felt a little anxiety just being in it, I think since I am up here in no where land, I have gotten a little weird about big crowds.

The boys had fun, and the girls were bored because none of Teresa's older kids were there, sometimes everyone can't be happy, sorry.

Thanks for having the last minute lunch/playdate with us, I always enjoy your company Teresa.
