Little man at hospital number 1 after the drugs kicked in.6 years, 3 kids and no accidents..until that fateful day..Our beloved trampoline has betrayed us! Well if we are getting technical it was kind of Auggies own doing that broke his arm..He was actually walking on the trampoline backwards and didn't realize that he was at the edge. He tumbles off on to the not so soft poll that helps hold up

Well we did it! We got ourselves a new pup. She is a very sweet doggie. Her name is MayBelle. As far as we have been told her mom was part lab part shepherd. No idea what the dad is.I must admit I forgot how time consuming the whole housebreaking would be. She is doing pretty good though. She is also getting a lot better on her leash.The kids have a love/scared relations hip with her so far.

We made it though the first week of school!!! The girls are loving it really. August is warming up. He has not cried but he usually completely falls apart within 2 minutes of pick up. That tell me he is trying hard to hold it together all day at school. That is my boy. He keeps asking me when he will learn to read " Will I learn to read tomorrow mom?" I keep telling him it takes time, but

Wow today was a big first!August went off to kindergarten today which means ALL of my kids are in elementary. I can barely believe it. Makes me sentimental...and old ha ha.The girls did great of course, they are so used to school now. Rosa and Veda ran ahead and found their new desks while August hung on of the pillar in front of the entrance door.He said he was not going to go in. I stood

Yeah I finished the quilt I have been working on for Rosa. It is about time! It turned out close to how I thought. I got the idea and directions from this awesome book. Last Minute Patchwork and Quilted Gifts. I love it and I really want to try a few more of the ideas.I cant believe the summer is coming to an end. It has been a great one. The kids have had some camps that they loved..( and

I just got back from a mini vacation with some girl friends. It was nice. A lot of cookies, relaxing and a few beers thrown in. I think everyone needs a non planned relaxing day or days. It makes going back to routine much easier for sure.Of course I have no photos..mostly cause I dot feel like lugging my camera around. Also cause I have been feeling really non creative and my heart isn't in

So last night I was hungry and wanting something to eat. Unfortunately we had nothing really to snack on that I wanted. I decided to just torture myself with Tasetspotting.com. This site showcases different peoples recipes and food pictures. YUM! It only makes one hungrier though really.So anyway, I got it in my head that I had to make apple pie from scratch last night. So today August and I

In the last year or so I have lost both my paternal and maternal grandmother as well as my step-grandmother.I feel lucky that I have the memories with them that I do. I think the hardest part for me is not knowing them more than I did. Especially Janice, my Grandma Bell. I knew her as a grandmother but I wish I knew more about her life growing up in the 30's and 40

Goodbye weekend! It was a good one. Although I might have liked a bit more sleep. Oh well :)This coming week will be busy, well what week isn't these days! Both girls start new after school activities. Rosa has a dance class she is taking with an old classmate, and Veda will be starting karate.My girls doing August's hair at their "salon" this weekend.The Salon was so cute the girls put

Swimming lessons in this house is a bad word (Just ask my kids). I'm not sure why. Both me and my husband love to swim..we assumed our children would too. Despite having them in lessons since they were young.. they all have a slight fear of the water. Now after so many years, only Rosa will dunk her head and can swim a few feet. So technically she is still in the same starter class. Veda is now

Yes he can! August was carrying his tools around today asking me what needed fixing. He asked me to call him Bob (not the builder apparently JUST Bob)too. I would point out wobbly chair legs and what not for him to "fix" when we were done playing he said .."anything else ma'am" ha ha ha So cute.

Of course there are new resolutions and what not. Does anyone really stick with them? I don't know, it is fun to start fresh though. I also love having goals, even if they may not all get seen through to the end. It is worth a try right?One of my goals is to cook more at home. More fresh and from scratch dinners. That and branch out from the same 4 dinners we always eat. This is going to

He used to run super fast even having only 3 legs.He loved to chase birds and squirrels. He was known to jump in to lakes and chase ducks for up to a half an hour, just swimming after them.He really was a sweet dog. Loved to love and be loved.I admit that I was put out a bit by this last year with him. He was not the dog I had loved for so many years. More of a shell of that. I know that is what

Woohoo, the heat is ON! It has been in the upper 80's and will venture in to the 90's soon. That is pretty darn hot for Seattle. I have been sweating all day!The kids have been enjoying it though. They have been swimming and using our new bigger than life water pistols.Anything to keep cool. I'm more of a 75 degree weather girl, but I will deal with it. Beach trips and open windows helps.I

My last baby was born 4 years ago today. He is such a bundle of sweetness topped with bizarre boy energy.We had a bbq for him yesterday. We broke out the water pistols. You can imagine what happens when you give kids ages 3-9 water those things. Water and fun and of course some tears lol.Today we just hung out, went to the beach and I told him that I would make him anything he wanted for all

What a summer. We have been so busy. With camps and swimming lessons, and just playing outside! Yesterday we went to a youth circus that had children doing neat acrobatic stuff. The kids enjoyed it for sure. My little man's birthday is coming up too!I have a large amount of back up photos to post. I may do that in the next few days.My outside garden is really flourishing. It is almost jungle

Is this an acceptable dinner for 3 growing bodies? hmm the answer is YES. If you have 3 kids and your home with them and there is nothing else to make them, and taking them to the store would cause me to go insane.Don't worry, its not like I gave them donuts for snack earlier...o.k guilty again.I promise to feed them broccoli, tofu, and various fruits tomorrow ;)

Summer is here, the kids are out of school, and we went to 2 BBQ's today! Actually, me and Rosa went to one, but the others went to two. Veda and August were super tired. They played ALL DAY! The first BBQ had a jumpy house and the second had a trampoline, and we also played kickball there. It was fun times all around!

I wish I could fast forward to 3 pm tomorrow. I don't like funerals..who does? I get that people can want to goodbye and celebrate this person that meant so much to them. I just don't get why we have to do it together. I guess that just shows how people grieve differently. I know it is going to be so sad. I feel fortunate that I got to have last moments with my wonderful grandmother. I

How can I be tired and hungry when I slept 10 hours last night and I have been eating EVERYTHING!? Maybe the working out I have been doing again? I'm hoping to do a 4 miler today. With all that is going on, running feel cleansing. This can be good and bad. Tearing up on a run is kind of awkward!I must go outside to enjoy the sun now :)

It is coming up! The weather is warm every day, my plants are beginning to bloom and I saw a sneak peak of something to come...Strawberries!!!! YUM!Running though the sprinklers and catching sights of butterflies!August has had some hard times leaving me lately so I decided to do some momma- son time and we made some oatmeal cookies. They turned out super good. We used the recipe from this new

Love is so much stronger than I give it credit for sometimes. Right now my heart is breaking because I'm losing someone I love so much. She is one of the most kind, and loving person I know. When I was little she would make the best hot chocolate and cinnamon toast I had ever eaten. She also had the most beautiful garden,and when I was small I would love just see all the blooming flowers and

That is a long time to take off blogging. I don't think I have any followers anymore! OOPS. Life gets in the way sometimes I guess.School is almost over for the kids. They have some summer stuff planned, but now I'm not sure enough. The girls are fighting like crazy lately. It is really annoying and tires me out!We went to Rosa's school camp last week. It was one of the best so far. We have been

Don't worry she was all helmeted up during our street venture!Well the run went pretty well. Rosa had a hard time on the last hill. Her bike is kind of heavy. She did good though. 3.5 miles with hills, that is my girl!Unfortunately I pulled something in my lower leg. I rolled my ankle in the last block. The weird thing is my ankle doesn't even hurt now, it is my side calf it is SUPER tight and

I'm about to go jog with Rosa. She will be riding her bike on the 3.5 mile run. I'm excited! I hope I can not freak out and worry while she is on her bike.. She is a good rider though. Wish us luck!

Yeah I'm crafty. I have been doing a lot of crafts lately, but have been too busy/ lazy ha ha to take a photo. I did take one tonight, although from my camera phone, so it is crappy. I made a oil cloth lunch bag for the family. I had this cloth left over lying around and looked up a tutorial online here. But I also found two other ones here, and here. The last one looks easier than the one I

I got to work in the yard today, which equals itchy eyes and sneezes. It was nice though, the sun was out, August was on the trampoline , and Veda helped me weed the garden.

Today was filled with sugar. Rosa was so excited last night she could barely sleep. She kept waking up worried she had slept too long. They woke up and found their eggs and their baskets and starting the sugar marathon.Unfortunately for me I have a dumb cold, It sucks. So I have not eaten as much sugar as I had hoped..All in all it was a good weekend..I got to go out and watch a friend's

Once again the sweet old blanket( AKA Night-night, AKA Lion) is missing. It has been almost a week now. I cant find it anywhere. I'm pretty confident the last time I saw it was Friday ( last week) day time. Then I left and when Sebastian put the kids to bed he couldn't find it. Now for the life of me I can't remember if I took the kids somewhere that afternoon..somewhere he could have left it

She really is growing fast. I think that is why I have been so inclined to take so many pics of her lately. Granted my other kids are growing as well. It is just she seems to be going from being a little kids, to just a REAL kid lol. One that reads and write and plays and understands things..

I just love her. We played computer games together today, and she kicked my butt. I really was trying to win too. I'm not the type to let others win usually..neither is she.

This is how I feel after almost a week in Vegas...You can imagine it can't you. A lot of food, drink and what not..I have not worked out in almost two weeks. This a lot for me. I usually do 3 to5 days a week, depending on time and how motivated I am. Now I'm not motivated. I need something to kick me in the rear! I'm also going t try to get back on the photo a day bandwagon. It seem I slipped

Wow time sure does fly. 8 years ago I became a parent to a tiny little tomato. She really looked like a tomato when she was born because her face was all red. Later she was more like a little monkey. Always climbing with her long skinny limbs and her chubby little face. What a silly, smart and fun little girl I have. I'm so lucky to be a part of her life.

I did a photo shoot for a beautiful family. They have a new baby only 5 weeks old. They also have a sweet 2 year old that had a lot of fun bouncing on the bed during the shots. A session of cuteness for sure!

August is totally in to dress up. He wants to be a doctor one minute, then Sandman from the Spider-man comic book the next.He also demands that everything be turned in to a cape. We have made capes from all sorts of linens in this house. Mostly blankets. Thank goodness for safety pins! They are paramount for cape construction!

My dog was smelling so bad. After borrowing a drain/ hair catcher for the tub from Kathryn, I was able to bathe the smelly old beast.It actually made me sad. He just looked so old and kind of scrawny in the tub. :(

Ever heard of it? Me neither. My son has, and insists that it is a real clothing item..a real invisible clothing item that is.Today during play time August tells me he wants to dress up like a doctor.. the kind that cuts up people, then puts band-aids on them... My friend Jess thought that would be a doctor with a malpractice suite..My kids love to rock out with ROCK BANDNothing like playing

I am sore already in places I didn't know I could be sore. The sad part is I JUST did the video. Tomorrow is going to suck. Thanks Buns and Abs of steel!! I guess you have to be in super shape to wear those SUPER high cut excises outfits they do in the 80's lol. What cracks me up the most is how the 80's work out videos are aimed at women...right? Then why all the boob and butt close

Wow, been I have been super tired. I went to bed at 8:40 pm last night, and then took a nap today too? Maybe I'm fighting something? I don't know. I did get tattoo work done yesterday, that tends to wear me out. I spend 3+ hours all tense and trying to get through it, I think it takes a toll. I'm STILL not done. For real I have one more session this time...I know I have said that before... I

I know I have mentioned how huge my cat is. Today she was following me around the house in the most annoying way. I was trying to figure out what to shoot for the photo of the day. I sat down at the table deciding to read instead when there she is sitting at the table next to me.Day 26* Yes that is actually her name..no I didn't name her. My then 3 year old did.

are good.My son had a hard day today. Hard for him, and hard for everyone around him. He was grumpy and wild and hard to manage. He did dole out a few hugs, but overall had some pretty noisy melt downs. 3 year old boys!! So I was at the store today and noticed there was a Spider-Man pajama on sale. If you know anything about August, it is that he is in LOVE with Spidey! So I got it and gave

What a historic day! Since our TV is out we turned on NPR and listened to the inauguration of Barack Obama. IT was very cool. I loved his speech! Moving as always!Day 20

Today's photo of the day may look like a normal photo, which it is...I took this today of my nephew, if you look close in the larger view( click on the pic), you will see me taking his picture in the reflection of his eyes. I promise I did not Photoshop me in there. I have seen this type of picture before but have yet to get a good reflection till now.Day 19

Ahh It was a beautiful crisp SUNNY day today. I just love that. Reminds me that spring will be here at some point. I even spotted tiny crocus leaves are just starting to pop up! They come up to remind me that Spring is going to be around the corner..a few cold corners, but still! There is hope :)The photo for today was a shot I took of Rosa. There was bright light coming in the window that

Just a quick shout out!Me and the kids watched ELF tonight. Man that movie makes me laugh. Anything with Will Farrel pretty much cracks me up though. Rosa giggled quite a bit. Veda got half the jokes and August just liked seeing Santa.Today Rosa asks me if she can have a email account. I tell her not yet. She isn't quite old enough. I explain to her about SPAM, and how a lot of times it is

I just love that store. It gets me in such a creative mood when I walk in. Crafts, fabric, you name it.I have been making jammie pants for the kids. They have turned out cute so far. I will have to post a shot of them.I think pants in general are what I make the most. It is SO easy. I even saw a pair on the wall at Joann's with a note that said " New! Kids Can Sew Class. Make easy lounge

This is a shot of Rosa on the phone. She is talking to a friend, alone in the living room. Chatting like a teenager or something! I wanted to keep the lighting how it was. It was a dark room lit by just a lamp, and I couldn't see her very clearly..Day 12

Which means I was able to run today! It was fantastic. I am reminded that I need new running shoes though. I only went 3.5 miles, but it felt good. So much better than the treadmill.Last night August surprised me by telling me while I was putting him to bed that "Earth is a planet mommy" Ahh what a proud mom I was. Then him and Veda proceeded to ask me a bunch of space and planet questions

I think I spent most of my day in the car. I hate it when I have days like that. Where I'm super tired from running here and there, when really most of my day was spent sitting..in the car.Sb helped me finish my painting job I started. I'm excited about it. It was a kitchen project that I will post pictures of soon!Also, ( exciting ha ha) we got a new vacuum. Now we have had our old one for

He also has started not being able hold his pee... And since he is a 3 legged dog ( accident while a tiny pup) his back leg that is left has bad arthritis.
