Pictures

So I just emailed myself a few pictures from my phone and downloaded them to the blog. No editing done.

Here we are at dinner one night.



Easter morning, on our way out the door.



Shane this week at the park.

so busy!

So, I have started commenting a lot on another private blog, and so this one has been neglected. So sorry. PLUS, since I got my new iphone (LOVE) (FYI first smart phone) I have not taken and pictures on my camera and have only been taking pics on my phone. Long story short, I have not taught myself how to down load those pics on to the computer to post. Boo!
Loving life lately! I have made a great group of friends (dare I say close) recently and have met a FABULOUS new friend that I feel like I have known longer then the short 2 weeks we have known each other! My life has been filled with wifehood (why is that not a word!), motherhood, art, swimming, speech, boot camp, park play dates, carpool, ect. Did I just say carpool?!! When did I get old! Soccer begins soon and so does training for a challenge...have not decided yet what it will be...I guess on top of the ever ongoing challenge of loosing baby weight! (25 pesky pounds left!)
I will try to keep this blog updated more!

I made my first and second green monster smoothie today! Yum!
Greenmonstermovement.com
This is a picture of the one I made for the kids.
2 cups baby spinach
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (I used regular milk for the kids)
tbsp peanut butter
sliced frozen banana
3 ice cubes
I was not hungry all day. I told Luke it was a Jamba Juice, and Kaleia it would make her hair and nails grow and give her glowing skin. The kids drank them down fast and said they were soo yummy. You guys should try one. Adding blueberries to mine tomorrow and skipping the peanut butter and adding tbsp of flax seed.
PS
So this was posted on another blog I do from last week, but wanted to post it here too for you all to see. Update: I asked the kids what they wanted for breakfast this morning and they both wanted green monsters! HA! I also made one for Jordan to take to work this morning...I need to call him and see what he thought.

Random

Luke called or stockings "sockies" all season, and tried to wear them every day.

Kaleia was very proud that her hair was finally long enough for pigtails.

Christmas Ornaments 2011

Every year we all choose a new ornament for the tree. Kaleia picked a Tinkerbell one, Luke picked a Lighting McQueen, Shane got a little Jiminey Cricket, Jordan got a Chip & Dale one, and I of course got the ugly "Puppy Love" series ornament.

Starting to update...

Here is our Shaney Dude as we call him, back in November

Luke fell asleep with all this on his bed...a nightly routine

Luke and Jordan riding the train at the mall

Pumpkin carving...

The final product...

Halloween dinner as always was a Papa Murphey's pumpkin shaped pizza and and orange side dish; this year's dish was an orange fruit salad.

The only and last costume left at Target in Shane's size was a banana. So sorry Shane.

Kaleia was a fairy and Luke was of course Lighting Mcqueen.

Pumpkin Patch...

Jordan and Luke looking for marbles in the pond. Each kid was allowed to find 10 marbles, so after Luke found his 10 he would throw them back in and look for 10 more new marbles.

Shaney dude and me at one of the playgrounds there.

In the corn maze...

All those who have boys...

Has this ever happened to you...

I am getting out of the shower and see sunlight coming up the stairs...Panic...Why is the front door open? Jord left for work before I got out of bed. Luke was watching a show on my bed, Kaleia was asleep, and Shane is asleep. Panic-again.
"Luke!" No answer..."Luke!!!!"
No time to dry off...Jump out and grab p.j.s from the floor. Can't...get...on...still...wet...from...shower. Got them on.
Run down stairs and out front door. "Luke!" Look left and then right...which way?
Go left without thinking-"Luke!"
There he is. Standing on the sidewalk.
"I can't find daddy." This is his response.

First day of SCHOOL!
