Recently..........

Everyone has been doing really well. The kids are getting bigger everyday. Cayden is getting better with his words and has even tried the potty out. I dont think that he is ready for full time potty yet but it is a great start.
Lily has recently started to say small phrases like "What's that?" and pointing at the object. She is still the bubbly child that is happy as can be.
Chandler is still playing baseball. It is starting to get a little bit hotter out and makes playing a little more tougher but he can handle it. I had Chandler all last week which was awesome. The kids love it when he is here.
Bryan and I are doing well. We are going on a mini vacation this week. Cant wait! Bryan is on vacation for the entire week and I am excited. We are taking the kids to San Diego and relaxing on the beach. I will have pictures up next week if I remember to bring the camera...bad habbit. My sister-in-law was accepted to Cornell University in New York and will be leaving in August, very proud of her. Other than that nothing to exciting is going on.

Cadyen & Lily

Look at these kids....He is tooo cute for his own good. And Lily she is just to precious. Of course I am their mother so I have to say that. :) Lily and Cayden were out back helping with yard work, but instead they played in the sprinklers!

Breast Cancer 3 Day

I have decided that I am going to walk 60 miles in November to help support those that survived, that are fighting and those that have lost their lives fighting breast cancer. I have a link on the right side of the page for anyone that wants to help me raise the money for this event. Thank you in advance.

One More Of Chandler

Here is my New York Yankee playing triple A this year. (I would definetely prefer him to be a Chicago Cub, but I didnt get to choose his team)

Miss Lily

It does get very dry here in Arizona. And when it gets really dusty the static in the air is even worse. I hope everyone can see here hair as it is standing straight up on it's own because it is really staticy touching the microfiber sofa.

My Cooking Skills

Ok so I still can not cook. I tried even just grilling the food to no evail it did not happen. Yes these were hot dogs. I am surprised that the grill marks did not go completely thru the meat. Grrrrrrr. I try what can I say :)

Yankees Beat Twins 16-7

Chandler did awesome yesterday! He had a great single, he had a pop fly, and I believe he struck out once. The Twins did keep the Yankees on thier toes the entire time but just could not hold on at the end of the game.

Chandler's First Baseball Game As A Yankee

Yesterday was Chandler's first game. It was a really good game. Kept me on the edge of my seat. He is now in the Triple A league...He played the Blue Jays and they were tied until the very last inning of the game and a Blue Jay stole home and won the game. It was a great game although we didnt win. Chandler did manage to hit a triple. It was kinda funny because once he started to round 2nd I dont think he was paying attention to his coach and just kept going. His coach then was waving his arms frantically for him to stop at 3rd base. He was safe of course. He played mostly in the outfield which I think suites him. He has a good arm and can throw really far so I believe he is more valuable in the outfield. But he also does a great job at 3rd base too! (he gets that from his mother, of course) Saturday is opening day, even though Wed. night was his first game. They have a ceremony in the morning then all the teams have a parade around the fields to show the 2009 teams. Then Chandler is playing the first game that day at 10. I will hopefully have a video or some pictures up from that game. I did not take my camera with me Wed. night.

Cayden Scooting Along

Cayden getting ready to take off with his buddies down the street. He loves to go outside and play with his pal, Gabby. He loves to get chased by the girls down the street and doesnt even mind when the girls tell him what to do....so cute, so cute.

Cayden and his pal, Gabby riding their scooters.

Lily and Daddy are sleepy

So Lily had gotten a little fussy today and Bryan took her and tried to calm her down...LOL They both feel asleep. So precious

Our Little Friend That Came To Visit The Kids

Today while I was checking my email

Lily was running back and forth on the chair by the window. I turned to see what she was looking at and low and behold a nice size lizard had climbed onto the window. She was so excited to see this little creature. The lizard seem to

be shedding some skin.

Nothing Special to Report

So today I didnt do a whole lot. I did not feel that great when I woke up this morning. Nothing serious just was not all that excited to get up if you know what I mean. Anyways, I decided that I was not going to go for my usual walk today but instead I decided to talk the kids up to the park and let them run around. Cayden loves to run after the other kids and get chased by the girls. He is such a boy. Then there is Lily. If she falls in the sand her reaction is priceless. She puts her hands up like she can not believe she just touched it and will continue to just sit there until she is picked up. She is such a girl! By the time we got back home I was done. I didnt want to move at all. So we watched the bee movie - that in itself is another story and I will get a video up so you can see why - but we all relaxed until Bryan came home from work today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

First Day of Craft Class

I have signed Lily and Cayden up for a 4 week craft class for toddlers. Today was a challenging experience with the both of them. Cayden seemed really interested in the crafts but I was not able to give him 100% of my attention because Lily was trying desperately to eat the crayons or the beads from braclets we were making. Other than that they had a lot of fun. Today we first colored pictures that had to do with St. Paddy's day then we glued them on a head band made out of construction paper and put stickers on it too. Then we made bracelets out of pipe cleaners and beads. Lily's bracelet is still intacted but Cayden decided to take his apart before we got it closed. Then we did a little sponge painting. It was not as messy as I thought it was going to be. And finally we got to play with play dough. The kids had a good time and did all of this in 45 mins. I am really glad that I signed them up for this. More Art work to come in the future!

Miss Lily is getting so big. She likes to pretend that she can ride Cayden's scooter. You just can not resist those big blue eyes

3 Mile Walk

This is what I seem to look like at 9 in the morning before my walk starts. I can only imagine what I look like when I come back from my walks. I take the kids almost everyday for a 3 mile walk in my subdivision. I am trying to shed some unwanted baby weight that has stuck with me for a few years...Im a slacker what can I say. I need all the support I can get to keep me going.

I took this picutre this morning. It is almost impossible to get them to look at you all at once. Lily is playing with her book. Cayden of course, is playing games and Chandler is just being him. They are great what can I say!

The three musketeers!

My Gardening Skills

Last summer two of our plants in our front yard died. These were plants that were planted by the builder...no comment there. Anyways I was out doing some yard work this week and decided that I wanted to put two new plants in. I choose a pink rose bush and a yellowish hibiscus plant. I will let everyone know next week if they are still alive as I have no green thumb!

While we are all looking!
