WAY TO BE !

Recently Jason has become obsessed with running and has decided he is going to spend his summer competing in 5k's . I'm actually really excited that he has found a new found passion/hobby. So, Friday night I went with him and our friends to show my support and do some serious cheering ! Once we got up there Jason of course decided that the 5k wouldn't be a big enough challenge and switched to the 9k . Soon after he made the switch I think he was feeling a bit apprehensive but, I knew he would do well . Jason is determined and has a lot of heart . He is great at everything he does and this time was no different . HE TOOK 12th place out of 76 runners ! WAY TO BE BABE ! You never cease to amaze me !
His friends competed in the 5k and did fabulous as well ! Davis took first, Bennett took second, Phil took fifth and Karen took sixth ( first girl in though ) really impressive.

I will post pictures soon .

CHAOS , Chaos and more Chaos......

life has been one event after another.. I'm struggling to keep up with all the activities going on. Last week I worked a 40 hour week plus all the boys games and threw my sister her bridal shower with my fabulous sister's Leslie and Jenni. Thanks for all your help. We pulled off a fun shower. And this week the craziness continues the boys had field of dreams the last two night with the Bee's . The boys announce them selves before the game and they put there cute little faces on the big jumbo tron thing... and then they get to run out to the position they play and meet the player from the Bee's who plays that position as well. Afterwards they get a tour of the dugout and locker room . The boys really had a great time !! We enjoyed both nights ! Good memories ! The rest of week is filled with the boy's games , wedding events, Joe's b- day party and spending time with my family they all arrived yesterday. When and if I get a minute I will post pictures. Have a great week !

Cabo Pictures

Here's a few picture's from Cabo ! Will add a few more later. Enjoy !

CABO

was fabulous ! We had the perfect balance of excursions and down time . One of my favorite moments was snorkeling and not because of the actual snorkeling. We saw Dolphins I assume migrating somewhere .... It was amazing to see hundred's of them swimming and jumping out of the water. So much cooler to see the real deal than all the tricks at Sea World. We saw whales as well. Totally awesome I loved it ! We hit Cabo Wabo where I got ripped around like a rag doll on the dance floor . Loads of fun ! This guy really knew how to dance and he swung me all over the place. I of course looked like an idiot not having a clue what I was doing . However it was a good laugh and I've been inspired to learn how to dance . LOL . What else ? We played in the ocean where I was ripped about by a huge wave and thought I was going to drown out there... I kicked for ever reaching for the top and never surfaced . It felt like an eternity ! Luckily I was washed back ashore. The tide coming in can be crazy strong but, so fun to play in ...we shared lots of laughs with Neil and Heather playing like little kids ! LOVE IT !!!!! Our trip was really enjoyable and I soaked up the sun every minute I could knowing this miserable weather would be waiting for us when we returned. I could have stayed there another week if I didn't miss the boys so much ! I think that is the best part of vacations coming back excited to be a mom laughing at all the boys quirks instead of taking it for granted and being to tired to enjoy it. Glad to be home even if the weather SUCKS ! I will be posting pictures soon !

I'm ready

I didn't think it would happen but, after a long night ( I was up tell 3a.m. ) I am ready to go. House clean, kids packed, me packed,laundry finished, St. Patricks treats put together for the kids, and schedule's handed out to those taking care of Joe and Cole. I'm so relieved and now I can enjoy some time with my boys before they go to Grandma's without being a stressed maniac.

I'm so looking forward to the warm sunny days. This fickle cold than hot weather makes me moody. I've been feeling a little conflicted about misc. things and I' m hoping after this vacation I can come back feeling like myself happy, and rejuvenated.
I mentioned earlier that my baby sis is getting married and I just found out that all my family is going to be able to fly home for the big event. Yipee ! So excited we get to be together again !
And it's not definite but I may be going to Calif. with Megan in July. She needs someone to drive home with her and then I would fly back. I would love to meet her family and see where she grew up ... can we say beach bum ... So keeping my fingers crossed that works out .
Anyway that is all. Thanks to all my family for helping with the boys.... so that me and Jason could take this much needed vacation !

Random pictures

Me and the kids sledding at the park by our house !

A night out on the town with friends ! Megan and Chris had a babysitter it was the first time we have been out with both of them and no kids.

Ice skating and dinner at Iggy's for Sydney's birthday !

Introducing Smalls

he is the newest addition to our family and I think he's a keeper ,the boys absolutely love him. Cole packs him around everywhere I have to force him to put smalls down . Smalls is pretty cuddly and a mellow dog except at night after 8:30 he gets a little fiesty if you try to maul him to much . He has the cutest growl he seriously think he's scary but, he is so not intimidating. We should probably tell him to quit yippin but, it's so funny that I find myself sometimes provoking him just so i can have a good laugh.







Anyway a few other things to ramble about

• My baby sis who said she was never going to get married is in fact engaged and set to married on May 11. I have to say she is the most content and happy I'v e ever seen her in relationship . So congrats ! I'm excited for you !
  
• Cole's last basketball game was Saturday.. he has enjoyed his games so much and I think we are all bummed that it's over.


• We received sign ups for baseball yay ! I'm super excited I love baseball season with my boys. It is so much fun to watch them grow, play and make new friends ! It's the good stuff !
  
• Jason and me have 3 more weeks tell our big vacation to Mexico . Yipee !

I'll post pictures later !
