Absolutely F A B U L O U S!

One word: FABULOUS! I was lucky enough to get invited to a private evening premiere of Sex and The City 2 before it came out to the general public. I can not tell you how excited I was to get to see this movie! My new favorite word is "interfriention". When you see the movie, you will understand. You have to go see it! I definitely give it two thumbs up!

Sweet Baby Girl

The kids and I have the pleasure of watching the sweetest dog! Her name is Mattie, and she belongs to my sister's boyfriend, Craig. This is probably one of the best, well mannered dogs I have seen! We are already attached to her. We get her for 2 whole weeks, and couldn't be happier!

Celebrate Good Times....Come On!

Blake's football season ended, and they came in third place out of all of the teams. They did great! I am so proud of him. Next Fall we are going back to tackle, which is tons more rough, but Blake is ready. He is such a good athlete! I absolutely love watching him play sports. I think I live vicariously through him because I was never the best athlete.

Here are a few pictures of him getting his trophy and taking a group picture. All of these pictures came from my phone, so they are not the best quality. These also were taken after an evening game, so he is a little sweaty! :) Way to go RAIDERS!!!!!

My heart is filled with love for you Blake! You are the best son a mother could EVER ask for! Keep up the hard work and dedication! XOXOXOXOXO

Justin Bieber and Debbie Gibson

So you might be wondering what in the world these two people have in common, huh? Well, Debbie Gibson was huge when I was growing up. I loved listening to her record over, and over, and over again. I had the words memorized to EVERY song. And then there is the new hit singer, Justin Bieber, who everyone seems to love. WELL, Blake and I were listening to Justin in the car the other day, and he asked, "Mom, why is every song by Justin about girls?". I started to laugh because I totally understood where he was coming from. I remember asking my mom when I was his age the VERY same question, "Mom, why is every song by Debbie Gibson about boys?" I really didn't understand why every single song she sang had to be about a boy, and being in love, etc. So to hear my son ask the same question, brought back a lot of memories, and made me smile. One day he will understand!! :) :) :)

Fairy Tale Ball

Brooklyn had her Kindergarten Fairy Tale Ball for the school, and it was PRECIOUS! They sang and danced to several songs. They performed and then headed to take class pictures and have a royal feast. I love seeing my kids do things like this. I'm so proud of them! It just makes me sad to see how fast they are growing up....TEAR!

Goodies

I went on a little online shopping spree on BarnesandNoble.com. My wonderful class got me TONS of gift certificates there, so I went online and started shopping around. I got a few books, and I am pretty excited! I love getting little packages in the mail, so I am already on the lookout for the UPS man to drive up! FUN!

Here are the books I got on this go around...

I have been wanting this cookbook for a LONG time!!! This comes at a perfect time though. I am ready to learn some yummy new recipes this summer! MMMMM!!!

This book I saw on a blog that I frequent. It is an inspirational book about what to do when God doesn't show up the way you thought He would. I am super excited to read this! I love heart warming, real life books with a message. This one will be a good one to read on the beach this summer...



A few books for my classroom for our oceans unit...

Mother's Day

I had a WONDERFUL Mother's Day!!!! I spent the morning hanging out with my kids, Travis, and my dad. We had a yummy lunch at IHop. We then rested at home for a little while before going to dinner at I Fratelli's with my mom and our entire family. We sat in the private area so we could celebrate my grandmother's 91st birthday, while celebrating all the wonderful mothers in my family. I absolutely LOVE hanging out with my family.

My kids are the sweetest! Blake made me breakfast in bed, and Brooklyn made me 5 different gifts at school. My super sweet boyfriend bought me the most beautiful romper/jumpsuit ever! He even picked it out all by himself.....LOVE THAT!!!! Here is a picture of it, except mine is black and sleeveless.

The YUMMY breakfast Blake brought me in bed....

Thank you to everyone who called or texted me on Mother's Day!!! XOXO! I love you all! You all made my day so special, and I am grateful to have each of you in my life. To my beautiful mother.....I would be nothing without you! Thank you for teaching me everything I know!!!! I love you VERY much! Blake and Brooklyn, I love you both VERY, VERY, VERY, much! I am so proud to be your mother!!!!!
