Tag, I'm It!

My Sister in law tagged me with the following questions.

1. What Was I doing ten years ago? Ten years ago I was only 18 years old. I was young, stupid and thought I knew everything. I was living in my own apartment with my sister and my friend, Jennifer. I was going to Fresno City College and working at the Ice Cream Connection in downtown Clovis.

2. What was on my to-do list for today? I was hoping to clean out the linen closet and clean out my closet but instead played with and hung out with my kiddos. I was home enjoying my day off of work.

3. What would I do if I suddenly became a billionare? First thing I would do is quit my job to be home with my kids. I would sell our house and buy a bigger house with a big backyard full of toys and equipment for our kids to play on. I would want some property and a couple of horses. I would help those I love as well by making sure everyone had a home that was paid for.

4. 3 bad habits not keeping all my laundry clean and done, spending money I do not have, my car is a mess, needs to be cleaned out. No more crackers for Madison in the car.

5. Places I have lived I have lived in Coarsegold, Ca; Fresno, Ca; Clovis, Ca; Grover Beach, Ca.

6. Places I have worked Ice Cream Connection, Klondike Pizza, peanuts anyone (They had the peanut shell floor... yucky and stinky) , Kiddie Kingdom (2 year old preschool teacher, or should I say potty monitor, I was always in the bathroom with potty training little cuties, Clovis Unified, Campus Club teacher, Fresno Unified, substitute teacher; Madera County Office of Education, interpreter for the deaf, then teacher of the deaf and hard of hearing

7. 3 things people don't know about me I don't like cleaning much, I have a dog and two cats, I am proficient in American Sign Language

Happy 2nd Birthday Sammy

Happy 2nd birthday buddy! Love Aunt dephie, mady and car car

They are both so cute

Madison 7 months

Carson 7 months

I couldn't help but post pictures of Madison and Carson at around the same age. I don't think they look too much alike until I see pictures side by side of them. Of course, you notice they are both addicted to the binky.

Summer Fun

Summer is almost here and I can't wait to have some time off from work to just enjoy being an mommy and doing all the fun things that summer brings.... swimming, bbq's, playing in the sprinklers, eating popsicles, playing with bubbles, staying up late, taking mini adventures during the day with friends and cousins. These pictures are so cute and show just how sweet our little darling is.

Obsessed with bubbles

It is official, both of my children are obsessed with bubbles. Madison has always loved playing with bubbles and recently we discovered that Carson enjoys them also. Bubbles are fun for all, I can't tell you how many gallons of bubbles have been consumed is such a short amount of time.

Happy Birthday Grandma Dorothy

Last weekend we celebrated my Grandma's 72nd birthday! Happy Birthday Grandma! We love you!

Personality

Carson has such personality. He is always happy and smiling and laughing. Madison was, and still is, more reserved. It is very difficult to get her to smile for pictures. Carson loves to smile for the camera. They are so opposite in this matter. We love our kids and love to see them happy. Carson was having so much fun this morning, I couldn't help taking his pictures.

Carson's first haircut

Well I chopped off Carson's combover today. He is just too cute! We love him. I will get post better pics of the after soon.

Bedtime battles

Maddy has been asleep in her own bed for the third night in a row. She has had a real difficult time sleeping lately. She will scream in her crib and it is almost unbearable. I told myself that she can do it and will continue to sleep in her bed. It is hard hearing her scream and be so upset but I know it will get easier, it definately can't get any worse. I just hope she doesn't figure out how to crawl out of her crib. Be thinking about us and our nighttime struggles. Carson is such a good sleeper, he is very predictable and such a cute little cuddle bug. He has a stuffed bunny he loves to snuggle with and rub on his cheek at bedtime.

Fun at Gaga and Papa's house

Madison and Carson get to spend so much time at Gaga and Papa's house and they love it. Madison is so comfortable there, whenever we are leaving the house in the morning or on the weekend she is asking for "Gaga". Madison loves to play "ousside" daily with gaga and papa. I don't know how many gallons of bubbles have been spilt on the sidewalk but Gaga and papa don't care they just clean it up and Gaga makes more bubbles. This afternoon Madison kept bringing Gaga the empty bubbles and she kept making more. I truly wish I could be home more with my kids, but have to go to work. Madison and Carson both do new things daily and I am sorry I miss out but Grandma gives me the update with new words daily. I am so blessed to have such a loving family that is able to help with the kids. Madison loves her gaga and Papa and loves being around them.
