"Ten things I can't live without tag...
I was tagged a little while ago. So here goes. I could write my kids, my husband, my belief in God. Trust me those are certainly the top three but since this is just for fun I am going for totally frivolous stuff." I'll second that! I'll third that!

1- All things crafty
2- My XB's
3- My DVR
4- My Computer
5- My kids toy story1/2 DVDs For sanity
6- Dr. Pepper...(on the occasion I drink a soda)
7- My dream of a king size bed ( so that the two little people who climb in between us stop kicking daddy out of the bed)
8- Camera...I am a picture taking addict!
9- My remote since I can't change the channel with out it!
10- My sisters! they are my partners in Crime!

Tag you are all it. So share all your favorites on your blog too.

TA-DAH

I have been preparing the stuff for Potato salad over the last couple of days. On Tuesdays I boiled some potato's and then put them in the fridge in a bowl so that when i went to cut them they would be cool. Then yesterday I boiled eggs in the same pan after I rinsed it out.

I put the bowl in the sink and Ran cool water into it ti cool the eggs down and then left it there full of water while I took care of some things.

Yesterday afternoon Ella came running in all excited and Yells "MOM, MOM, THE POTATO'S TURNED INTO EGGS!'

One sided red thing~

So the other day we had a garage sale at Jens house... I sat out with all the stuff we brought...In the sun! I sat kinda side ways to protect my eyes from the sun. I know I was burned when i got home that night...But when i woke up the next day and only one side of my face was swollen...including my lips I knew that I was stupid for not turning to the other side...So I am super sunburned on the left side and not so burned on the right...I look so dorky!!!

So I am the one sided red THING!

The things your kids teach each other!

see this cute kid...She has learned to climb things and get into to high things thanks to her 19 month old Brother. Before that she would wait for help....How ever this cute little thing taught Brandon to squish bugs...with his fingers...YUCK!

Sadly she taught his to squish poor little Roley pollies!

Here are the pictures when I caught them out there...

It was over a hundred that day so they are hardly dressed!

They weren't happy when i told them to stop squishing them....but he is so a boy...he got so dirty. He is so rough and tumble. How ever I did see he being the one to play with bugs...I didn't see Ella being the one to teach him!!!!!

the 4th weekend

the weekend was fun from fire works, to the movies, playing in the water and the Ice cream man the kids had a blast even with all the cleaning and grooming of the yard! wee had to get a new fence the old one fell down!
Ryan mowed all the weeds he did A great job!looks good huh!
I forgot to take after pics of the fence!
Fire works
family
hanging with grandma and grandpa
more fire works
and of course the Ice cream man to cool us down

To infinity and beyond!

Brandon has found a new thing to be obsessed with. Toy story 2 came out again and we bought it. We played it in the car for the kids when we were out and about with the kids.

Brandon is so fond of it that anything he finds with toy story characters he goes nuts and carries them around. in the picture above he holding a woody doll and has the toy story 2 book and is watching toy story 2....
the woody doll we got him last night. I think he really thinks they come to life to talk and he gets a Little frustrated when nothing happens after a while...yet he still carries him around constantly. We are looking into getting the actual size figures from the movie. He walks around saying buzz and woody all day. and if he can't find the dolls he he comes and asks me for them...it is a cute love that he has for them...

oh the things that kids say...

So today Ella was rifling through her undies drawer and grabbed out a pair that she got from her cousin Jessie they were Grannie kind and Jessie wont wear those. Well they were 2 sizes to big and they came up over her whole tummy. She looks at me and says...these would fit Justin... (Justin is my sister 13 yr old SON)...I started laughing I have no Idea why she picked him randomly but she did...I am sure he would find it funny he is a funny kid!

Busy...

I have been busy this week! I have been getting a little more interest in Avon it has been kinda nice. I just hope that it leads to more sells. I have neglected my blogs. Not to mention that Jen's family borrowed my camera to take pictures and they had my camera for a week or so. they took some awesome picture's. They had a family night where they learned about cameras and their settings and went off taking pictures. It was kind cool! I will post some I think they did an awesome job!

THE GREEN BEAN....

this is our newest XB

WE got the green on because this is the one we really wanted when we got the Maroon XB

this is there limited edition with the extra...including TVs in the head rests...the kids love it!
This is our other XB it is fairly new to us too.

from the dentist to the tooth fairy!

So this morning We get up and Ella promptly tells me her teeth hurt. I look at her teeth and they seem to be fine! She complained again a little later and when i looked at her I noticed that she was starting to look like she had a fat lip.

When I lifted up her top lip to look again I saw this huge hit bubble on her gums...it was UGLY!

We took her to the dentist and we had it checked out. She had a bad infection and her front tooth's nerves had died. Yep she had to loose the tooth...
The Dr said she would be this way for about 2 1/2-3yrs...That is how long before her adult teeth are ready to make there way in!
She is very afraid of the dentist and freaks out pretty bad every time we go....She did great! she got a little up set when they were draining the puss out but he ripped her tooth out in less than 10 seconds and it was over...That is no exaggeration! so here is the cutie with her new smile fresh from the Dentist! (her lips are still numb!)

Brandons first hair cut!!!

Before

After...

To Grandma & Grandpa

There and back again....

I am not sure how many of you know we have been going up to my parents house a lot these last few weekends trying to help get there house ready for potential renters. We worked really hard at getting the new lawn in and it was so hot this is what it looked like after a week...

We got there this last weekend and Josh and dad got the sprinklers fixed and different sprinkler heads put on so that they would cover more of the yard Batter. I was a little worried at what we would see after two weeks but I was pleasantly surprised!!!!

home for the holiday

We are home this weekend. last weekend we helped paint the house and Josh and dad got the sprinkler system up and running correctly. It was so hot it was almost unbearable. we didn't get as much done this last weekend but it looked tons better! I did take some pictures but I will put them up later.

Last week we had a heat wave. we don't have air conditioner so it was Hot in and out of the house. I had to get a fan out and spray the kids down with water and the would run in front of the fan to cool off. It was 107 one of the days! I am glad that the weather has tamed down again. The breeze that we have had this week was nice too.

we have been riding the train up to pleasanton where Josh works. the train is the commuter train we have here. the kids love it. Last weekend we rode the train and got to the station and rode the elevator down from the the plat form the doors were glass that the kids were pressed up against them waving Hi to daddy as we rode down the elevator. When we hit the bottom the doors started to slid open and I hear a blood curdling scream from one of my little ones. I look down and Brandon is standing at the door opening and I look and I thought he caught his hand in the door he didn't....then I hear the scream louder as the doors opened up a little more. Ella didn't noticed the doors opening and with her hands on the door it open and took her hand into the opening off the door with it jamming the door partially open with s stuck inside. I dropped my bag and tugged at her hand it was in there tight! I tried to find a door close button and started pushing it. Her had was in there so tight that it wouldn't shut. I tried to pull it again and it was so stuck. all the sudden this lady reaches around me ( mind you there were three people in there yelling at me the whole time freaking out Ella!) so she reaches around and Yanks her hand out... She didn't think that she could shred her hand or break her fingers. She then tells the lady working there that it wasn't in there tight...I tried to yank it out 2 times and it wasn't coming out for me!!! When I told her that it was to tight for me she realized that she panicked and ripped her hand out of a tight situation. I was really mad when she sis it. In the middle of the the Brandon Ran off and some lady grabbed him and took him to Josh Who stood there Frozen Not sure What to do!

So after all that we got her out and checked her hand that was a little red and slightly puffy from being stuck...she was crying hard from being so scared. she ended up being just fine. We Ran off to the Jelly Belly factory and took a tour of the facility.. you get to see the workers working on making Candy while you walk above them them working, Ella loved it and wants to go again...she was so happy to get the free jelly beans at the end.

So after all that we are just Glad to be relaxing at home this weekend!!!
