We got a kitty cat from the pound named Woody he is super cute don't have picture yet give me 3 months ( Ha ha) We had a very fun filled summer. We went to D-land, Utah, Fresno, Vegas and Temecula all to visit family and Friends. These are just some of the pictures from our Utah trip. We went bowling for the first time with the Wallace fam who came down and met us in Utah, went to a creeping muesum with tons of dead dear heads on the walls, the boys kept asking where their feet were, went hiking up sundance with my the boys Great grandpa who sadly was wipping my but on the hike and went to a cute farm with leila and shane. I am not back at work, so I 'll seee you in another 3 months! Love all you lots!

BFF

Jet and Dane miss Leila and ask for her everyday, we tell them she's in Idaho and its a long drive, so now everytime we get in the car they say go to Idaho long drive, if they only knew how long it really is - they can't even drive to the store without fighting, yelling or me having to turn around 100 times and tell them to knock it off!

Ok so i suck at blogging, i forgot my password so its been a while. Anyways just want to say that life has not been the same for us RICKS since the Wallaces left us. However I am so greatful for their freindship and love and miss them like crazy. So here's sending our love and luck to Idaho!

Grammy Nominee- ME!

We had community helpers in my classroom and so I have a variety of people come in and talk about their jobs to the students. My favorite was my principals brother who wrote the song " Ive had the time of my life" from the awesome movie dirty dancing. He won a Grammy for it and has written over 4000 songs. He was super fun to meet and even cooler we all got to hold the real- deal. Its a lot heavier than it looks.

For the past 2 months....

I have been very busy being a mom of twin wild childs and a very involved teacher with far too many meetings. However I have played hookey and gone to the Natural History Muesum- Loved it reccommend it to everyone who loves Dinosaurs, the snow with the Clarks my kids do not like snow, they went up & down the hill once and then played in the car the rest of the time, Disney Land one last time before our passess expired, Vasquez Rocks with my wonderful, fun sister in laws Cali and Kiki and we were visted by Scott's baby sister all the way from China ( yes i said that right) Caryln.

ALL IN A DAYS WORK

Sometimes I don't know where I get my energy from especailly now that I'm no longer a diet cokaholic. Anyways yesterday was crazy to say the least. The boys got into the fridge and attempted to pour the OJ into their sippies ( there goes 5 gallons of OJ down the drain) Next while I was cleaning up OJ mess they reached ( still amazed they reached it) our dominos pizza dinner and ate almost the enitre box ( at least it was thin crust veggie). Then since they were a sticky stinky mess they got naked and ran around the couch jumping 5 feet in the air like flying monkeys. I swear they were possessed. During Bath time Jet was annoyed with me as you can see in the picture because I wouldn't let him pour milk in the bath and make it soup. We made a compromise and I just gave him a spoon. Anyways when scott's at work they sleep with me but as you can see in the picture they sleep on me. Scott took this picture cause he thinks its hilarous that we have a king size bed and 3 of us share one pillow. Ahh now I would like to go and relax in front of the boob tube but Dane threw our TIVO $50.00 remote into the toliet... all in a days work!!!!!

Good Times

The Winter Break is my favorite time of year because we get to play games with our cousins, visit and catch up with friends and family, go to Disney Land and watch the boys excitement over their new toys. This year they got a Giagantic Thomas Train set it is so much fun. I am so greatful for all the Good Times we had this year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Wow is it already 2009? When did Christmas pass? I can never keep up. Just want to wish everyone a very Healthy and FUN New Year . My computer is not having a good year and crashed already so pictures will be posted soon. In the mean time so far I have gone cold turkey on keeping my New Years Resolution which is getting off Diet COKE! I was an Diet cokeaholic and after a few days of headaches and withdraws I am clean!! Yippie. Wish me luck in staying clean! Ha ha!

Daunting December

Is it just me or does December seeem like a super crazy time? I mean I love it but i alwasy feel like there is jsut too much to do. Wrapping presents, making goody plates, shopping, making christmas cards, planning work chirstmas party and christmas crafts for my class, submitting final grades for both of my jobs, AHHHH Whew... looks like i need to stop blogging and start working!

I know its not Halloween anymore but........

Ok so I know its not Halloween anymore but that's how long its been since I've posted. I'm just too darn busy with 2 very demanding jobs and 3 very demanding boys ( yes I included scott) so anyways I just wanted to show everyone how awesome a job my dad does at Halloween decorating and creating the yard into a fright fest. The new addition this year was a crypt he built. The boys thought everything was cool even my creepy dad as the gargoyle. They weren't to sure about wes in the troll face shaggy body thing but we had fun eating candy! Oh and look at all my beautiful friends at our Halloween party we had this year. It was crazy but always wonderful to see everyone.

Kid Museum

A little past Disney land is a great kids museum, the boys loved the life size dinosaurs, earthquake room and other science gadgets. We give it 2 thumbs up!

What we've been busy doing.....

The boys have been busy Kissing and Chasing girls.

Scott has been busy riding the Ferris Wheel of Life going around and around every day taking extra great care of the wild children.

Our Family has been busy riding the largest land animal on EARTH, Dixie the chevron company picnic Elephant.

I have been Busy playing Dress up with Amber. We are the next "Girls Next Door!"

The cowboys have been playing their guitar naked and riding their pony. WHAT could be better. Look out Kenny Chesnsy here come the next country music stars.

NEW BIG BOY ROOM

Since the boys love anything with wheels we did a car/truck room, They love their new big boy beds and their flags w/ their names on them ( thanks pottery barn). Their bedding my mom got for them at home goods, they are actually a sleeping bag which is awesome cause there is no bed to make and they just ZIP right in. Oh and yes sometimes we go in at night and their snuggled up in the same bed.

BACK TO SCHOOL

So on Monday I have to go back to work! I am dreading it because I love being at stay at home MOM ( even those my boys are maniacs). BUT, working means I can provided for my family and we can spend 200 bucks at costco to feed, and diaper the Beastly boys! When I was a little girl I used to dread when my DAD left for work and he used to sing me this little song, " Gotta Go to work to get some money....to buy some TOYS" I loved it and better understood why my DAd had to work. I am going to start to sing it to my boys on Monday morning before i leave. I hope they have fond memories of that special little tune like i do.

GIRLS NIGHT OUT

GIRLS NIGHT OUT!
Everyone is invited. The more the merrier and feel free to bring your friends too! Come to new moon at 5:30 for dinner and then to see Mama Mia at 8 at Valencia Edwards. Come for one or both- either way it will be fun and relaxing. Hope to see you all there MONDAY JULY 21st.

2 cute

Today i took the boys to the mall to get professional pictures. They were terribly shy! I couldn't believe it. These were the only decent ones. Sorry they are small its not letting me make them bigger.

What we've been up to

We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. The boys ran through the whole thing screaming FISH in about 5 minutes. Scott was a bird man there, the birds just flocked to him. We had the boys ELMO themed party, with homemade elmo face cupcakes and a pinata to top it off. The last pic Scott said I should title MILF. Which If you don't know what it means ( ask me)- its a huge compliment in a funny sort of way. I would have to agree I have pretty freaking HOT friends.
