imagination!

My daughter the doggy... the kitty... the mother... the sister and the BOSS!

In this picture she is being the naughty doggy.. and we had to call her bad doggy for eating the stuffed animal! She is so funny! She tells me I'm her sister and she is the mother. She plays princess and dragons with Bart.... She is Kobee's boss, and that not even pretending!

I'm thankful that she has this amazing imagination not only to entertain herself but it means she is extreamly smart!

Best Daddy EVER

I'm thankful that I didnt have to go out and pull this!

I'm thankful that Bart is great enough to do it!

My boys!

As Kobee gets older I can see him start to look up to Bart. Respect and love is stronger and they have bond that makes me feel comforted! I'm thankful that Bart is so good to him and that Kobee accepts him!

Her own bed!

So its been a battle getting the daughter in her own bed! But finally I think I'm going to get my bed back! So tonight I'm thankful for her bed!

Ms. Velasquez

I'm so very thankful to have my grandma! She has gone through a lot the last year and a half! She kicked cancers ass with only a few scars to remember the battle. And even though I don't agree with some of her choices I must admit that I envy her dedication to her family no matter what wrong they have done.... she has always worked hard and taken care of others before herself and she deserves to live the rest of her life being taken care of..... I hope she knows that I do the best I can and I sometimes push her with tough love but it is love!

Got Brett.....Favre!

I know this is going to sound crazy...but I'm thankful for Brett Favre!

I started to like him last year... I was amazed by him, you cant deny that man can play football! It carried over to this year, then I started coaching football and I got in two fantasy football leagues and its just been so much fun! I love the bickering with my older brother Trevor, he for some reason thinks Brett is to old to play football... ha! ha! ha! Anyhow, I'm thankful because its made it really fun to watch football with my boys, Bart and Kobee... and although Kobee can really start to drive me (and Bart) nuts with his banter and replays of the game.. I'm just really excited to have this time with them!

couple of side notes:

I also bought Kobee Madden 11 ... I suck and will not be playing this game with them. Also, Ella is not excited that everyone else watches football on Sundays, so she has no one to play with her!

Bart bought me this Jersey... isn't he great! Also, bought me a t-shirt that says "GOT BRETT" he is very supportive of my crush!

I'm not sure who I will be "crushing" next season, cause I know in my heart Brett is playing his last year... Bart is a Packers fan and Aaron Rogers and his dimples are appealing! and Kobee is a 49ers, while teetering to the Packers! I like to pick a player, preferably a hot one and just roll with that team... How about Mark Sanchez!

Coach Destiny.. ha! ha! ha!

((my other 2 coaches forgot about picture day.. ha! ha! ))


So I'm pretty thankful for the experience I got this Fall...
I was a coach.. flag-football!
well, kinda!
After, one practise I needed to find help, with Barts work
schedule there wasn't much time for his contribution so
my friend Jennie's husband stepped up to help!
and another kids dad was a back up help as well!
I was pretty thankful for them!
Although, I didn't have to give them much
coaching on the technical stuff of football, I
definitely learned alot myself!
12 boys and one mascot (Ella)is alot of work!
but it sure was fun!



TEAM 503!

Aunts!

Thankful for these two beautiful woman
Aunt Mary!
& Aunt Bonnie

Ella just loves them both!

much love and thanks
to them for being there for me
when I have needed that motherly love!

Ohhh so thankful!

I love my kids beyond explanation... but from time to time I sure do love a night out.... especially if its a date night! Tonight Bart and I are going out to dinner for a good friends birthday! And kids are with Star & Larry.... I'm ohh so thankful tonight!

Did I mention they are having a sleep over!!!!

So so much love!

No monster in-law here!

Thankful for my "someday" mother in-law! She is so great to my kids and is even pretty great to me! I'm thankful that her and Larry, Barts dad raised Bart to be the great man he is today. I'm even thankful for Larry.... he continues to keep me on my toes and helps me build my tolerance! I'm all around lucky to have "someday" in-laws that love me.... or at least.... like me enough to be so good to me!!!

Much love!

Support system!

I'm pretty thankful that I have the support of these 2 great kids.... support to go out and eat! I'm pretty sure in a few years Kobee won't want to be seen with me but for now he loves it! Or maybe he loves to go out to eat just as much as me..... I just love these kids..... I look at them and think Kobee saved me and Ella completes me! Think I will try and keep them as long as I possibly can!!!

Much much love!

Geesh its been forever since I blogged...... my little family has been busy!

I'm going to try and blog something even if its just a picture from the last few months.... and from here on out I'm committing to one post a week!

Yes Ella is rocking a Justin Bieber shirt, she's telling everyone she's going to marry him! Kobee is supporting his team.... 49ers (boo) and me, I've turned into Brett Favre's biggest fan! Bart turned 40 and is looking so dang good he's been trying to get the shed put up before we get more snow..... I've started a new job, I really like it! Things are really good for this little family!

Much love .....

There is no place like home..... except Grandma & Grandpa's house!

Mothers Day!

I couldn't be more thankful for my little family!
perfect kids!
did I say perfect?
yep! I did!!
I love them so much!
I honestly didn't know what a mother was capable of until I
became one!
I havent and will never be good enough for these kids
but with all my heart I love and protect them.
I'm so happy!
After plenty of challenges
I have finally found my way in this life
I know I can be a bummer sometimes
and I dont always say or do the right thing
but I have learned enough in my life to know
that I always want the best for my little family
and that I will always live this life for them!
Thank you to my Kobee & Ella for chosing me
believing in me
and loving me


Kobee Time!

I took my boy to his first Jazz game. It was Game 3
vs the Lakers!
Kobee and I made signs but mine was not dried
in time for the game!
but I loved his!
we got in the spirit and painted our faces!
although we had "nose bleed" seats it was a great game with
my son!
The cutest boy I know!
I could take pictures of my kids forever,
but
they get annoyed with me.
Baseball season has begun and is now almost over!
its been a tough season..... rain.. wind...cold..
Kobee is my All-Star and he has his tough
moments..but I'm always so proud of him!
I didnt pick the size... its like 4 sizes to big.
Grandpa Tommy took this picture!
sliding to 2nd base.

my 1st baseman!
so handsome!

This is a kid with alot of talent!
He has alot of heart and I admire him for that!


Ella Time!

Here are so great pictures of Ella over the last few weeks!
Our little girl goes to school now at
Dancing Moose Montessori School
just 2 days a week for 3 hours
Its been great, for the most part
she cries a little when I drop her off
even makes herself puke..
we are thinking her tonsils are the
problem. Cause she can puke on queue!
and her tonsils are HUGE
more to come on that!
she definitely doesn't look 3
this is my silly girl!
This is Ella's Dance picture from
Just Dance!
take 2
her cute little class/friends!
they both tease me so much!
me and my girl supporting the boy at baseball
even in the rain!
keep me warm!
the babysitter! so I can watch the game!
isn't she so pretty!
momma knows how to take care of this girl!
Just Dance!
Heather made this cute Tutu!
let me know if you want one!
She sells them for $25 ( I think )
another late game

This year Ella has been alot of fun at baseball games!
she cheers on her brother and will sit with me!
I've been taking her trike and the Ipod with movies for
when she gets bored and she even has a friend, Brittany
that will take her to the hill!
