I Wish. . . . .

I wish I could find the charger for my camera. . .
I wish I could find my sister in law Cathy's phone number. . . I washed Shannon's phone and it was in there and now we don't have it. Cathy if you read this please call or e-mail me. Uncle Tom if you see this please call or e-mail me! Thanks.
I wish I had two boys that really were nice to each other. . .
I wish I had two little boys that I didn't have to bribe or threaten to clean up and/or do their homework . . .

I think I am just going to concentrate on the things I have to be grateful for because the list is so much longer than the things I wish for!!!

I also think that if I get up and start doing rather than sit at my computer I might find my camera charger, get the homework done and the housework done!!!

Happy Tuesday!
David has an appointment at the dentist tomorrow morning to get his kindergarten paperwork filled out/teeth checked!!! We also have tomorrow off!!!

Love Ya,
Shell

Oh I will work on getting some new pictures posted in the next couple of days.

WELL YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT GOOD INTENTIONS!




Well, we are here in Orange County for Spring Break 2009, and already I have missed a day. Oh well you know what they say about good intentions!

Yesterday we all went off to the Long Beach Aquarium. It was a lot of fun. There were ten of us all together. Alison, Amy, Jack, myself and the kids. We had a great time. Jack was really helpful and kind of took David and Skyler along with him so that really all I had to do was push the stroller! We got to feed birds necter out of our hands (David was not liking that too much) and then pet baby sharks and rays. It was really cool. We were there most of the morning and then the kids and I took Jack home, went and got coffee drinks and went over to suprise my friend Sharon at her work. She had her cute little dog with her so the boys were entertained while I got to visit. We left there and I took the boys over to the barber shop to get their hair cut. They look so cute. I will post a picture of them and their new hair tomorrow.
Today we hung out at Amy and Brock's house while the kids played. We stayed for dinner and then came back to my parent's house to get to bed so we can wake up early tomorrow and go hunt easter eggs!
I promise more pictures tomorrow.
Happy Friday (wahoo day!)
Love ya,
Shell

I'M STILL ALIVE AND KICKING!!!


As I sit here typing this I am thinking about how when I check a blog page and it has not been updated how frustrated I get. I am going to see if I can post something each day for one month starting today!

Is this just the cutest picture you have ever seen? Yes, Esmerelda is still with us. It was just supposed to be a couple of weeks and it has now been three months. She is six months old really coming alive. Starting to talk (babble) and really interact with everyone. The boys are the best. They act like little monkeys, or whatever it takes to make her laugh. It is really sweet to see them with her. We will definitely all miss her when she goes home.

It is spring break here. We are all off school until next Tuesday. Monday the kids and I went to Chuck E. Cheese and played games with some friends then went to Del Taco and played on their maze for awhile. Yesterday David had his kindergarten physical! Can you believe he is going to be in kindergarten next year. It is hard for me to even think about. And Skyler will be eight soon and in second grade! Wow! Last night Shannon and I went and got our taxes done. It feels good to have it all done and out of the way even if is only a week before due date.

Today the kids and I are traveling down to Orange County to hang out with family the rest of spring break. Tomorrow we are going to the Long Beach Aquarium and I think we are going to a giant egg hunt on Saturday morning. Sunday we will have Easter dinner at my parent's house and then drive back home early Monday morning to be ready for school on Tuesday. Alison and Bodhi are also flying down! I am really excited to see everyone.

Well that's all for now. I have to pack and get everyone going. I will be taking my camera and computer so I will post along the way.

Happy Wednesday!!!
Love,
