My 3 Pirates

10 years of soccer

2008-10-03T09:00:00.001-07:00

I thought I already did my time with Brandi as a soccer mom, nope Olivia has just started and I am sure Jagger won't be far behind.

Baby Days Remembered

2008-09-20T20:25:00.000-07:00

I can remember when each one of my children where born.
I couldn't put them down, I loved they way they smelled, felt in my arms, and I cherished each moment with them in my arms as if they would be my last child.
I loved the comfort that I could provide for them.
As they laid asleep in my arms I would kiss their head and still do to each one when I get the chance.
No I am not having anymore 3 is enough for me.
I just love to reflect those moments sometimes.
Take the time to cherish your little ones time goes by fast.

Mom to Brandi 18, Olivia 5, and Jagger 2.

Mo babies

Computerless

2008-08-02T14:29:00.001-07:00

In the mean time

I have one who is finally learning to drive on the street
One that is learning to cross the street
And one that wants to run in the street!

Brandi is moving to Oregon with my parents in two weeks. Time for change it will be good for her. I am sad but at the same time she needs change and I can support that the added plus she is with my family, my parents and my brothers and her cousins.

Today is the day

2008-06-19T08:51:00.001-07:00

That Jagger was born 2 years ago.
He has grown up so much before our eyes.
His smile
His energy
His style
His laugh
His cry
His temper tantrums
His ability to do it by himself
His craziness

We love every moment with him......

Craziness

2008-06-11T22:53:00.000-07:00

The past few weeks have been crazy here are some photos but the small and short of it.

global warming

2008-05-24T09:57:00.000-07:00

Let see 2 weeks ago I was baking in the sun for 3 days the kids were playing in the water and the sun was bright and warm. I wake up this morning and it's raining the ground is soaked. We were suppose to take the kids to a carnival right here in town. It doesn't look like it's going to clear up. I hope our trip is warm at least. UGH!

Influenced by Ryan Scheckler

2008-05-19T22:56:00.000-07:00

So Jagger is totally into skateboarding he loves to watch Ryan Scheckler on MTV. I took him to the skate park today and he just wanted to be in the action. He can stand on the board he is still trying to figure it out. Joey was telling me tonite that Jagger was dropping in of the couch with a board (no wheels)with Olivia in tow. Ah I can feel the wait in the ER already..........

I missed that taste

2008-05-08T22:24:00.000-07:00

So Joey just got back from his business trip in New Mexico and he brought my remaining stash of green chili. I made my friend Laura's famous and oh so yummy green chili chicken enchilada's tonite how I missed that taste.

The wiggles made my day

2008-03-25T22:27:00.001-07:00

Oh and Jagger and Olivia's too, even Joeys. It was worth the money and I will see it again next year!

crushing on the blue Wiggle Anthony, Dads can't have all the fun a mom has to have her crushes too.

A taste

2008-03-22T19:49:00.000-07:00

of what it might be like with the kids when we go on vacation, well sort of. Jagger and Olivia might have scared there cousin today. They are crazy!!!!

Just preparing

2008-02-23T09:38:00.000-08:00

for the next storm.

Back to work II

2008-01-31T13:19:00.000-08:00

Well Crate and Barrel has been fun but it's time I need to go back to work full time. So I am going back to my passion, no not nails (I wish) the next best thing working in a Spa. So next week I start my new job at AvantGard Spa I am really excited although I will miss the kids it's what has to be done. My mother in law will help when she can and same with Brandi. I have a great friend Christa who has offered to help with getting Olivia to and from school or hula. Jag will be in a daycare that I feel comfortable right down the street. This whole world will start next week right after the two little ones are done with their strep throat.

Still my babies

2008-01-17T21:26:00.000-08:00

Well Everybody has been sick, so Jagger is in my bed and Olivia and Jagger share our room right now so she is in the room and at 2:30 this morning Brandi comes in "mom it sounds like people are walking around upstairs(Nina and Jose are gone), can I sleep with you?" I told her there was no room so she laid down on the floor with a Spongebob blanket and pillow.
All 3 of my babies, I guess it doesn't matter how old they get they still need mom.

She was mad

2008-01-05T21:54:00.001-08:00

So this is what the local beach looked like today.
Joey went there with the kids to take a look at mother nature.
The swells were 25 to 30 feet, (it killed me to go to work today and miss all the fun).
It reminded me of what pipeline looked like when we lived in hawaii sets rolling out from far away.
The waves were crashing on the shore and moving boulders on to the pavement.
I wonder what tomorrow will bring.

locks of love

2007-12-30T09:15:00.000-08:00

Well Olivia has been growing her hair since she was born although she has had it cut a few times this time she has been growing it out since August and this time she wanted to donate her hair (after seeing an Oprah episode). So the other day we went to get all 10 1/2 inches cut. This week we will send it off to help a child.

Olivia's hair has been lived in the Hawaiian sun, the dry dessert air of New Mexico, and the warm California sun.

Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis.

Christmas in California

2007-12-24T21:42:00.000-08:00

Only in California can we shop the day before Christmas in sandals and have the windows rolled down because it's 60 degrees. Gotta love it!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
Looking forward to the new year.

13 years went by quick

2007-12-20T23:54:00.000-08:00

Today was Brandi's last day of high school.
I remember when she was little and she would ask me, "how much longer till I go to school" She couldn't wait to go, of course that all changed. Now she is getting ready to take the next step in her life, life it self. It's so sad to see her grown up, I am very proud of her for being the person that she is, she has so many great qualities, and bad (but who doesn't). Now I get to see her become an adult and see what I have been complaining about all these years, just in time for Olivia to start kindergarten in September and start all over again :)

going up

2007-12-19T17:21:00.000-08:00

I know my post have not been the most positive lately, but things are starting to change the roller coaster is starting to go up and I will do everything to keep it up this time. I can deal with a few loops here or there but no more going down on this ride!

scratch the last post

2007-12-13T13:31:00.000-08:00

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas this year is to sell my house.
That's it, that's all I want.

Love,
Marci

My wish list

2007-12-02T18:48:00.001-08:00

It's always called a wish list because you wish for these things not necessarily need but want/wish. Well this year is defiantly a wish list.

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8111747

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8083976

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8211351

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7820102

I guess my list isn't too bad, happy shopping!!!

Well it's that time in my life

2007-11-19T14:07:00.000-08:00

when I gotta go back to work!

So I am starting slow, working part time at Crate and Barrel. What a great place to get back into the groove of things. I use to work there 7 years ago and I loved it, the people you work with as so nice, it's a comfortable atmosphere.

So my first day will be Hell Friday, wish me luck!

Going to the beach

2007-11-15T14:41:00.000-08:00

Not!
The oil spill has reached our beach. Thank goodness for the fog we are not missing any beach time. Sad for the fish, birds and other ocean life that is effected by this and not to be selfish but the delay in the crab season is making me pretty sad.

Happy Halloween!

2007-10-31T07:27:00.000-07:00

Yep my favorite holiday is here!

Another one

2007-10-30T22:00:00.000-07:00

Yep we had an earthquake, 5.6 it lasted 10-12 seconds.
Growing up here you get use to it.
Jagger just looked at us, Olivia got scared and Brandi came running out of her room.
We are all ok, not one thing fell.

My new love

2007-10-19T08:19:00.001-07:00

So Brandi and I took a Yoga class last nite. I thought we would be giggling, waiting to hear someone fart, or one of us would fall over. Actually is was a great stretch, it felt good. We would look at each other like I can't do that and you know what we could. We could pretty much do all the moves she asked except while lying on our backs we raised our legs in the air and at on point we were suppose to put our feet all the way over to the floor, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to come back over maybe I will try next time. I felt very rejuvenated. Thursday nites that's were we will be.

It's that time of year

2007-10-18T10:47:00.000-07:00

My favorite holiday is just around the corner Halloween. You couldn't ask for a better holiday, you get to dress up, put all the spooky things out in the front. I love Halloween! This year Olivia is going to be a flower and Jagger is a fireman and Brandi hmm I can't remember the name of it but it's this character she found on the internet I'll have to ask her.

Well that only leaves 67 more days till Christmas, ugh.

The greatest feeling in the world

2007-10-10T14:49:00.000-07:00

is seeing my sons face as we drive down the hill and he sits up in his car seat points out the window and says "Ba" meaning beach. He loves the beach so much, he knows the right exact time when to look outside the window in the car so he can see the beach.

100 and 10

2007-10-06T15:13:00.000-07:00

Well this is my hundredth post, who new after reading Eva's blog that I would start one and how fun this would be. I can't believe I had 100 things to write about. Some of it may have been lame, some sad, some happy, some crazy, or even stupid, but it's my blog and I can write what ever I want, hence my blog .

Well ever since I got back from my moms in Oregon I have been trying to be better on what I eat, how much, and when I can a little exercise. So now I am 10 pounds lighter and only 7 more to go! I can't wait. Joey has also been do well too, I'm not sure how much he is down I just know the other night we where with friends outside by the beach and it was freezing, and we both looked at each other and laughed because we were cold and if we had the extra weight on us we wouldn't be as cold.

So here's to 100th post and 10 pounds lost!

healthy

2007-10-04T13:48:00.000-07:00

Both Olivia and Jagger had their check ups today all is well!
Yea this week try me last week!
Both 75% for their height and average for their weight.
Healthy and bright, yeah us!

*robot costume by Brandi*

How did my trip go?

2007-09-27T16:29:00.000-07:00

Well it went a little something like this

We left at 7am on Sunday last week, the kids were great.
We stopped for breakfast on 5 at Dennys Jagger stretched his legs around the place.

We got to kingman around 7:30 ate at In and Out and found a hotel.
Took the kids to the pool, got them all relaxed, gave MIL a break.
I think we finally got to bed around 10:00, Jagger and Olivia were all over the bed all night, not too much sleep for me.
So we left the next morning after breakfast.
25 miles before we hit our exit DEAD STOP TRAFFIC all to merge into one lane it added 45 minutes to our trip.

So we get to the house unload take a look around and we go out to the backyard and Olivia goes hysterical "someone stole my jungle gym!" took her forever to calm her down. (Turns out our neighbor (who let us use it)sent me an email to let me know she was bringing it back over the wall, but we didn't get it, you have to prepare Olivia for these things, it turned out ok we said we would get her and her brother a new one). Life goes on.
We ate Panda that night, it hit the spot!

ok this is starting to get long! Needless to say my MIL was a great help and we got everything we needed to get done. Painted Brandi's room, cleaned, put everything away but furniture, re cleaned the backyard. It was great to see Olivia and Jagger enjoy playing in their house. Jagger was ecstatic to run around the house with so much space. He ran in the kitchen in the family room to the dinning and living room, he ran in the loft and in Brandi's room, Olivia's room, My room, and his room.

Olivia and I had closure in her room and assured her we would bring all of her things with us and our new house my not be as big but she will have all of her stuff.

So it's Saturday and I get off the phone with Joey and Jagger has been fussy while I am on the phone. I open the gate to go upstairs and projectile vomit is flying out of Jaggers mouth and nose. I run into the kitchen and ask for my MIL's help. Poor little guy he has never thrown up yet in his little life. So it's been like 2 hours he's taken a nap, drank some water, and we decide to go for our nice dinner, he is playing with his sister. We drive 2 minutes away and he throws up again, not as much this time. Again we go back to the house clean up wait and decide to go again. We just got our drinks and I can see him getting ready I grab a napkin cover his mouth. I pick him up and we drop to the floor so it does not go all over the table. We run to the bathroom when he is done. Poor little guy is covered in what I call cottage cheese. I clean him up and get the food to go. By the next morning he was good, thank god!

MIL got in a little Sandia casino time and I got Chuckie Cheese with the kids. It wasn't too bad. Olivia loved it, because it was familiar to her. Jagger was a mad man running through the place like he owned it. We stayed an extra day to finish up and we are glad we did. I didn't feel like I finished the job, I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders because we stayed that extra day. Oh and I had a little bit of the flu that day just some stomach cramping and diarrhea, (yes I know you needed to know that)

So the ride home went something like this. The car is packed, and I mean packed, we brought the kids wagon, picnic table, all the videos that Jag is into now and some Olivia will now like. We are on our way to Starbucks and Olivia throws up, she was complaining about her stomach hurting earlier and didn't think much of it because she always says that when she won't eat breakfast.

So she is drinking water eating saltine crackers, drinking sprite. She still is getting sick at least 3 more times on the ride, but she is hanging in there. We are about on hour out of Flagstaff AZ and we are at a Dennys and she gets sick one more time this time with dry heaves and I say I gotta call the doctor. They say get her to the ER with in 24 hours. So off to Flagstaff we are in the ER for 3 hours and she gets to drink her own water and hold it down she is good to go. She has a great nurse, who came into the room and introduced herself and was so excited to me "Princess Olivia and that she must have been kissing some frogs to get so sick" (I am writing a note and send to the hospital, because she was great!)

She got to drink her own water $1.25
ER bill $100
Listening to the drunk guy next door Priceless!

So MIL get our free cocktail in the bar (taking turns) ahh Apple Martini, much needed. We get up for our long haul in the morning and MIL has stomach cramps, fever. She says she wants to move on and we do. We make great time with two small children in tow (Oh and Olivia is fine for the rest of the night and in the morning). We left at 9am and got to Pacifica at about 11pm.

We took turns driving, the kids watched videos (a much thanks to Jessica and Marcial for the copy of baby einstein videos it would be the only thing to calm him down sometimes and the extra DVD). We will now have to invest in two DVD players it was so worth it! Also thank you to the wiggles, Elmo, Laurie Berkner, and Fergie for keeping the kids calm! I would also like to thank my neighbors, The Faulkners and The Legers for being such great neighbors and the use of their garbage cans. It was great catching up with you guys. William for chopping down our funky tree in the front. Brook and Toni for coming over to see Olivia (she really missed them).

No more road trips planed for a very very very long time!

Life

2007-09-16T09:24:00.000-07:00

Don't take it for granted.

My brother came down for a funeral of a childhood friend.
This was the 2nd death for us in 2 weeks. They both took their own lives.

It sometimes put things in prospective when someone passes. It can put you back on track in your life, you start to focus on things that are important to you and let the other things roll off your back.

Enjoy your life, your kids, your friends, your family, the flowers, the ocean, anything you want to enjoy but just enjoy it.

Santa Cruz

2007-09-04T10:41:00.000-07:00

It was so nice last Friday Joe and I packed 2 out of 3 kids (Brandi was at school) and took them to Santa Cruz. It was so hot. We actually got to spend time at the beach and the boardwalk.
It was a good day.

*due to Joey and I agreeing that we should not be in pictures in our bathing suits we will not be shown in our fun day.

Thoughts

2007-09-01T22:14:00.000-07:00

So I just found out tonite that I guy I went to high school with passed away, Mark Gavron. I don't know what really happened he was missing one day in the morning and then later they found his body at a park that I frequent when I was growing up.
He use to date this girl Michelle they were a popular couple. After high school she married someone else, needless to say years later they found themselves back together. I really never knew both of them well, but well enough to have a conversation with them when I saw them. Real nice. I remember it was our senior year towards the end and he filled the back of his blue raised pickup truck with sand. He brought the beach to seniors.
You are gone, but not forgotten, my heart goes out to Michelle and her girls and the family.

R.I.P. Mark

Cousins

2007-08-29T09:02:00.000-07:00

So it was Ethan's 1st Birthday last weekend and the two smaller ones came to his party. It was at the park so the kids had a great time. Ethan and Jagger are only 2 months apart. He is such a cutie!
We were missing to other cousins we wish Noah and Isabella were there to make it complete, hint hint (road trip, yep trying again)

2007-08-24T16:40:00.000-07:00

So I went back to Sirens with more of my stuff (Shona and Camille are so nice!), anyways I had
8 bibs
5 crayon rolls
3 silverware rolls
1 treasure bag

It was just like Kindergarten

2007-08-21T10:22:00.000-07:00

Well today is Brandi's first day as a senior in high school. It was sad for me knowing that she is all grown up now. She left for school like she did for kindergarten,
B:"bye mom"
Me: "have a good day, I can't believe you are a senior now"
B: "I know bye"
Me: "love you"
B: "love you too."

She didn't miss her mom on the first day of school and she didn't miss me today, haha

Next stop for her, life

It's official

2007-08-17T22:36:00.000-07:00

I am retired from doing nails.

For real this time, other than the occasional trades now and then.

After 19 years, carpal tunnel in both hands, great people, great conversations,great co workers I have to say "I'm done".

It's taken a toll on my hands and I can't afford to be somewhat disabled for the rest of my life, so I have chosen to stop aggravating my wrists and call it quits.

I will miss it, I will always love doing nails and being around the salon.

Choo Choo Soul

2007-08-14T21:37:00.001-07:00

If your kids love choo choo soul then contact disney and let them know. They could become a regular show. Jagger goes nuts, and Olivia loves to dance to it is as well.

grinning from ear to ear

2007-08-02T20:01:00.000-07:00

So I went into one of our local shops, Pedro Point Sirens today to meet with the owners to see if they wanted to carry my items in their shop. I had some blankets, bibs, crayon rolls, and a silverware roll. They are a shop that carries coastal cultured gifts owned by two sister who are so nice and down to earth, they bought all of my ocean motif items! I am on top of the world, grinning from ear to ear! I can't wait to make more now! woooohhhaahooooooooo
Had to scream and now I gotta go because I have to sew my heart out.

I can't believe Jagger is a year old today. This time last year I was up walking around after giving birth 4 hours earlier, when you gotta go you gotta go (in my case it's all the time!)
Time really does fly! Brandi is 17, Olivia will be 4 next month, and now Jagger a year old!!!

I love you little guy, Happy Birthday!

I'm just saying....... I will never get old!

Great America

2007-05-24T15:45:00.000-07:00

So last Sunday we went to Great America.
My in laws bought us all season tickets, very nice of them :0)
So the kids and I will be at the water park of it all this summer I can't wait because my whiteness needs some color.
Olivia loved the rides still a little scared of some of them.
Brandi talked me into a water ride, kill her, but it was pretty fun I have to admit.
Jagger rode 2 rides in the the Nickelodeon side of things, he loved it.
Joey even rode some crazy upside down backwards ride. It was pretty fun.

Bags

2007-05-18T22:23:00.000-07:00

OK so here are some new diaper bags that I have made for myself. I might, might be making them for waves and wasabi, still on the table but not sure.
Edgy bags for the hip mom

so weird

2007-05-18T11:55:00.000-07:00

Okay so this site is a little weird but crafty at the same time..

Were did they go?

2007-05-16T23:18:00.000-07:00

So I have noticed lately that everyone seems to be slacking on their blogs?
Have we gotten that busy that we don't have the time anymore?
I miss reading every ones blogs.
I too have been slacking.
So I will make a better effort to add to my blog.

2007-05-13T07:47:00.000-07:00

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

Santa Cruz

2007-05-09T09:54:00.001-07:00

not sure if it's Etsy worthy just yet

2007-05-02T17:31:00.000-07:00

So I was playing with the idea of making some little "just a note" cards. Not sure if they are Etsy worthy just yet? I just made these for fun just to see how they would come out. I think I need to experiment a little more. So don't be surprised if you see any of these in your mail box.

I can't wait till I get this

2007-05-02T07:48:00.000-07:00

I am so excited I just ordered this from sweetheartsinner.etsy.com

2007-04-26T10:34:00.000-07:00

Update on my Dad

He is doing better he is home. The blood is now dried up in the brain. He just has to take it easy for awhile and check back in two weeks. My dad loves the computer so I told him stay off for awhile it will make your head hurt. He says he will he just has about 200 emails to check first! Thanks for taking it easy Dad!

Google pages?!?!

2007-04-25T16:48:00.000-07:00

My mom said he is grounded

2007-04-25T11:19:00.000-07:00

So I get this call from my mom that my dad has fallen off a ladder (yet again, the first time he did I think it was last year he broke his foot) at my uncle Franks house. He is in the hospital. He hit his head on the cement. So the story my dad gives he was on the ladder in the garage and the ladder collapsed underneath him and he fell only 3 feet but he hit his head on the cement. So my brother Tom took him to the hospital and they come to find out that they don't deal with head trauma in Oregon city so he got taken in ambulance to Portland. So he is doped up on morphine and his head and his jaw hurt. We don't know why his jaw hurts? So they did a CAT scan he has a bruise on his brain and blood in there to. So they are doing another scan this morning to see if he is doing any better. Needles to say my mom said he is grounded, literally! My brother Shaun said dad shouldn't be on a ladder anymore, he is afraid ,"have you seen dad on a ladder lately it isn't pretty". He goes up the ladder because he knows he's the only one that can.I will let you know the out come of the second CAT when I hear from them. We are keeping our fingers crossed that my dads big melon is okay, I think his bell will be rung for awhile though. At least mine was that way after my motorcycle accident. I couldn't remember a thing!

I can't believe this still happens

2007-04-23T15:45:00.000-07:00

Where the hell have these people been.
This should have never taken this long to happen in our day and time.
STOP SEGREGATION!
My god it's 2007!!!!

CNN

People welcome to the world!!!

2007-04-20T17:44:00.001-07:00

The Landlord

2007-04-17T23:35:00.000-07:00

I think this is pretty funny, you gotta love Will Ferrell "The Landlord"

out with the new and in with the old

2007-04-11T22:56:00.000-07:00

Well it was time we sold the Jeep.
It sucks up to much gas and we don't all fit.

So I sold it on Easter & the next day I bought a new car
New to me that is

We got a great deal on a 1999 Passat Wagon, ( yet it's the only station wagon I will own)
it only had 40,000 on it
It had been garaged most of the time & it is so clean on the inside.
As the owner put it "a gay couple owned it"

It has heated seats, sunroof, and it has a ton of room in the trunk,
and a little more room for Brandi

I have already made it my own, it has coconut airfreshener & it has it's roxy sticker on it & in the next 4 to 6 weeks it's own personal plates!

live in CA with a HI drivers lic. and NM plates

2007-04-11T22:48:00.000-07:00

So I guess I have finally become legal. I no longer live in CA with a HI drivers license and NM plates. HAHAHA

One and 1/2 hours later I am official, back to CA drivers license with my old #! I had no idea they kept it for me. Now I just have to wait 2 weeks for it to get here.

On the other hand Joe found out someone has been parading around CA with his identity! Bastard! Why do people think it's okay to steal someone else's name. I mean it's your name, your parents gave it to you. It should be that easy to steal it! Next time DMV check the picture!

Easter

2007-04-09T21:42:00.000-07:00

well Easter came and went
the girls had fun painting their eggs
and next year Jagger will join them

Goodbye swing

2007-04-05T22:45:00.000-07:00

Well it's time to say good bye to Jaggers swing
He has loved this swing since day one (Thank you Mark & Alix)
This swing has calmed him down when he was fussy
This swing has put him to sleep
This swing has made him smile
This swing has put him back to sleep in the middle of the night
He has out grown it, so now we must say goodbye.....................

My new shoes

2007-04-04T14:24:00.000-07:00

I so love my new shoes!
I'm not sure what it is about them

They make me feel pretty

They make me feel smart

They make me feel tall

They make me feel thin
They make me feel confident
They make me feel sexy

If I had a bike

2007-03-29T22:21:00.000-07:00

I just can't believe how much gas has gone up! I'm just saying if I had a bike and could pick Brandi up and take Olivia to school and run my errands which aren't always close I would ride a bike. When is it going to stop!

by 9:30 it was her friends and the Asian club kids left.

2007-03-25T09:01:00.000-07:00

Wow I never thought this day would come. Brandi went to her Prom. She didn't go with her boyfriend he is back in NM. She just went with a friend, someone she could joke around with and laugh. I think it's almost better to go with a friend. There ends up being so much drama with a boyfriend at those things.

She said it was fun. The food was nasty, 90% percent were drunk and by 9:30, & it was her friends and the Asian club kids left. but she did say it was fun.
She looked beautiful in her lime gr!een dress and her beautiful smile! She is growning up, stop it!

It felt like home

2007-03-24T23:23:00.000-07:00

It was so nice to see Mark today. We weren't sure if we were going to see him while he was here in town, but I'm glad we did! He is such a great guy and his family is the best! It felt like home being able to see him. We sure miss seeing the boys, Alix, and Mark on a regular basis. Olivia didn't stutter when Mark was here, that's a good thing.

Oh today is 2 years we would have been in our house, hmmmppphhhh!

Beautiful day at the Beach with the whole family!

2007-03-13T22:44:00.000-07:00

Sunday was a beautiful day, everyone came to the beach!
Brandi finally had time off to spend with us and it was great to all be together.
Jagger had his own thing going on the tent. Brandi, Olivia, & Joey spent time in the water. Brandi & Olivia went exploring and picked up shells. It was a great day with the family I can't wait to have more days like this.

What the &%$#@!)($^((*

2007-03-08T20:17:00.000-08:00

Okay this morning gas was $3.08(thats bad)
Early afternoon it went to $3.12( thats even worst)
Later that afternoon it is $3.24 ($^&*)(^$@@*(_++_(*&^^)

Thats all I have to say about it!

Spring and Summer are coming!

2007-03-07T09:32:00.000-08:00

Olivia enjoys sandwich
Jagger steals sandwich

girly girl

2007-03-02T21:13:00.000-08:00

Olivia my little girly girl, so opposite from your sister when she was your age.

Olivia only wants to wear dresses now. It's cold outside, even with tights I shiver. So now we are on the search for new dresses. She will wear skirts though and she has a few of those. The only problem is I have with dresses is the panties show so I love the tights. Olivia is so tall so if the dress is a 4T it still maybe to short! She's thin so if you get 5T it may fall off her shoulders! Ahhhh, I guess mom will be doing some sewing.

Poor Jagger

2007-03-01T23:23:00.000-08:00

My poor little guy he has his first cold. I know that sounds so lame, but he has that barking cough and he can't breath out of his nose. When he sneezes all his mocos come flying out. nice visual.
He still has a smile for me. ahhhh

hmmm I should try this one day......

2007-02-25T15:13:00.000-08:00

I was having a bad day at work last week. I hoped my husband might send me some flowers to cheer me up but I know he’s busy right now. So I called the florist, ordered a bunch of flowers and had them delivered to his office. The card read “give these to your wife, she’s having a bad day.” The florist laughed, and so did my husband.

This is from post a secret.

The uglies!!

2007-02-23T22:29:00.000-08:00

Today started out as one of those days that just makes you hate everything!

I couldn't get myself moving this morning,
then eat breakfast and shower Olivia and get Jagger ready for the day,
wake Brandi up 50 times till she finally gets it.

Then I have to put Jagger down and get Olivia and I ready.
In the middle Jagger has woken up, (Thankfully in a good mood as usual),
get ready by then I might as well eat lunch so we don't spend money eating out.
Oh and then putting on my makeup it doesn't go on right I look ugly, feel old, and pale.

I warn Brandi don't take it personally but I am in an irritable mood. So don't irritate me! Thankfully she is a girl and understands.

But after all is said and done, going to the beauty supply, then take Olivia to Hula, come home and do Brandi's nails.
I was defiantly in a better mood.

Now if I could win the lottery that would be the cherry on top, oops I have to play it to win it!

Peek-a-boo

2007-02-21T19:11:00.000-08:00

Oh Jagger! His is growing up so fast! He is rolling all over the place, sitting up, wants to stand, gets mad at his sister, & eating cheerios. His favorites are peek-a-boo and Patty-cake. I just love that little face.

what happen to Britney Spears?

2007-02-17T09:33:00.000-08:00

If you look into her eyes you see nothing, she needs some serious help! Those poor babies, their mom is losing it! See more on the story follow the link....

Teeth!

2007-02-14T13:59:00.000-08:00

To my surprise this morning as I changed Jagger, he smiled and I looked closer and there it was another tooth!
He has had 3 teeth come in in 3 days!!!
All 3 on the top. I have never heard of such a thing.
He now has 5 teeth!
My little boy is growing up.

My Labels are here!

2007-02-12T17:24:00.000-08:00

I am so loving my labels! I finally got them done from another Etsyian RohmCustom.Etsy.com . I feel so official. I want to put my labels everywhere!

Women listen up!!

2007-02-10T09:09:00.000-08:00

I found this website from SF Gate, it's a great thing women are doing and a little dangerous. I just can't believe some of the stories!

I have been sewing .....

2007-02-04T09:41:00.000-08:00

Like a mad woman trying new things and then giving them to Jagger and Olivia to try out or it's just not up to par to sell. It's kinda fun and fun for them too. It takes up so much time between taking care of the kids and doing the usual and then cutting and sewing and picture taking and then posting, whew am I beat!

Germs!

2007-01-29T17:29:00.000-08:00

This house is filled with germs first me, then Olivia & Jagger , Brandi, Ito & Ita, and now Joe and now Brandi again!

My little boy...

2007-01-24T22:19:00.000-08:00

Jagger how you have grown! You smile as soon and you wake up. You scrunch your little face up when we play "patty cake". You are so happy and now you are starting to do more. You sit up, you roll over everywhere! You have two teeth and more on the way. You play by yourself ( for awhile) you play with your sisters and Dance with Ita. You fall asleep on your Dad's lap. My most favorite thing you do, you hold my face and give me a big kiss. I love my little boy, I am happy that you are growing up and sad to see the little person who relyed on Mommy so much disappearing. I'm so happy to have the memories.
