My wonderful 34th Birthday!!!

My 34th Birthday was yesterday. I was kind of sad when I woke up, thinking where have all the years gone?? Then Matthew and Kayla Marie kissed me and wished me Happy birthday, and the sadness went bye bye. Kayla and Matt made like 6 sign's they hung all over the house, saying that Im over the hill..( Whatever!) I hung out with the family, we ran some errands, and Picked up a YUMMY cake from Nothing Bundt Cake ( A double Chocolate Chip with original icing) Nick made me Chicken Alfredo for dinner, and we took the kids swimming... It was a laid back fun day...

I recieved a Starbucks Card for a present from my Mom, and a Huge Body pillow I have been wanting from the Kids! It was a lovely day!

In a better place now!

Guess what! I met with the Irs, and we settled.. We can move on, we can start trying to make babies, we can move on... I am so much brighter, and happier than I have been in a while...This stress in gone! Yeah!!!!

Where do I begin???

Sorry if this sounds really pissy... Just a little stressed here!

Lets see... Kayla has her last day of class this Thursday, then she starts summer school next Tuesday... Matthew starts Speech therapy on Weds next week, I am supposed to meet with the IRS tomorrow if the company I payed 4700$ dollars to take care of some tax issues for me, and they continue to do nothing and have not even spoken to the IRS since 10/07, so I am a bit nervous about that... My last day I worked on Monday was the most depressing night I have ever had at work in the 15 years I have been in health care... On the upside Kayla is in Honor Society for her grades this Semester, and She was voted for and won to be Most improved student this year in her 4th grade class.., Matthew hasn't broken his glasses yet! I have a job, and am able to pay my bills, and According to California law me and Nick are still married.. ;) ( Nice to know) I have a billion things in my mind, and I am a little stressed..
I wish all of this IRS crap was done already, so I can move on with my life, and plan for
1) More babies for our family, we need the pitter patter of little feet!
2) Having the option of getting overtime, to make a little bit extra money, for our vacation in August
3) To reduce the stress our family is under, and take a deep breath and know its over!

My kids are stars!

So Kayla Marie and Matthew Charles Made an issue in the Fountain Hills Times this week! One kid on page 11a, one on 12a! Kayla made it for terrific kid, and Matt petted an alligator!

I cant belive
how big our

kids are getting. Kayla's

last day of class is next thursday, and she will be a 5th grader!

And Matthew is 4 getting bigger every day! He got his new glasses a week and a half ago, and he starts speech therapy next week. They ARE awesome!

Summer is 2 weeks away!

I cant belive summer is almost here, We have been to the pool, I have offically been sunburned 2 times allready, and we have went to our first Barb b q of the season.. On mothers day. Kayla has 2 weeks left of school, then she will be in the 5th grade! Matthew got his glasses as you can see in the picture above! What a handsome boy! Nick and I have decided jointly she will not go to Summer classes at ASU this time, because 1) To be with the kids more 2) To work a little more & save money . Im excited about her being home this summer. When she takes summer classes, she has them 4 days a week, 5 hours a day... Its tough. For her and us. Above is also a Certificate Kayla won Terrific Kid at school we are so proud of her. Only 1 student per grade per semester are picked... WOW! We have some great kids!

Im in it, and Nicks going to Lose!

We ( Me and Nick) have a bet going, worth 250 bucks... Who ever loses the biggest percentage of weight, before August 10th, wins the cash...So we will have our weigh ins every monday, and the final weigh in on August 10th. I have been going to the Gym, almost every single day, working my butt off, I will win! I was joking, I wanted a 250 dollar gift card for starbucks... But I know after this is all said and done, I will need the money to buy clothes that fit LOL.

WISH ME LUCK!

Stuff....My family, and my kids.....

As the summer approaches, I am getting happier and happier. The kids are able to play more and more, in the water at the splash park here in town, and its so much fun, to take them. The pool will soon be warm enough to go swimming in and Kayla and Matthew love to swim. Nick and I will be going to Florida this year, We decided to take the kids to Disney world, so were off in August. ( Too good a deal to pass up) We are trying to get away to St. Louis this summer, to see the family. I am happy about that! Thats about all...

Matthew is turning 4!

I cant belive my little man is going to be 4. I remember how excited I was when I was sure you were growing in my belly. I remember feeling you move around, and always having the hiccups. I remember being so scared when I was when I thought you were going to be early, and being in the hospital, on Magnesium Sulfate, praying that you would stay in for just a little longer. I remeber being at 40 and 4 days , and praying you would come soon, so I could kiss those toes, ears, and cheeks. I have loved you since the moment you were born, and as each day passes I love you even more. You bring a joy that words cannot express. You are my cuddle bug, my bubba, and I Mommy loves you!

( Both there moms are excited too!) We love the family time, and playing its like were kids again too. Matthew love all the princess's, and kayla loved the pirates. I love all the yummy food, and the Scary rides. Nick loves the smiles on the kids faces, the time we spend together. Happy happy times. I wish Nana was still here..( She is in heaven) She was here visiting the first time we ever went to Disneyland like 7 years ago. Kayla was just 3 at the time. The fun we had, was priceless. Nana was a fun loving, kindhearted, and was always there for anyone who needed her. Our 2 kids were blessed to have her in there lives, and we were blessed.
