I have decided that instead of buying the kids those chocolate advent calendars that seem to stay on top of the counter or the fridge and we forget to eat them and We eventually end up eating 3 or 4 of those little chocolates on one day. So this year I am making an advent calendar and each envelope has a task or activity to do each day of the month. Some are just simple things like decorate sugar cookies, or wrap presents together, and some are write a Christmas card to a soldier, do the operation shoebox to understand that Christmas is about giving, I also included to read the true story of the true meaning of Christmas so they understand that santa isn'[t what the true meaning of Christmas is. I really think this will be fun to do as a family and spend time with each other. I think that the kids will really enjoy these activities. These envelopes took a little bit of time to make but I did each and everyone of them by hand so I hope that they hold up until then. We shall see though. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2U08Pq1G_bWcz0adt08u9F7uKad_4ddkSvASGU-q0Ve_D7qJ5rwyCD8BN_1WydVyUBdAFHwbxJqgxe8LJOyJ-H5DFwwKBj35f-VbfUQX0jBfM0R4yLhprTfIg-xPBN9elW-Mkm3Yuz9c/s1600/DSC_0026.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2U08Pq1G_bWcz0adt08u9F7uKad_4ddkSvASGU-q0Ve_D7qJ5rwyCD8BN_1WydVyUBdAFHwbxJqgxe8LJOyJ-H5DFwwKBj35f-VbfUQX0jBfM0R4yLhprTfIg-xPBN9elW-Mkm3Yuz9c/s320/DSC_0026.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMxXoHRJnApEkWkqT9hBx996lohTJxKADfyRqLiwiVRKoWbruvaZeaH-HJfqtjD4PqBL-JUrkRE3CSXVjXrETcN9fAI-RarX520iVmSpgdDI8ZHYCl4o_v8UqIv_bwXR4hv7su8Uvv-Wo/s1600/DSC_0027.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMxXoHRJnApEkWkqT9hBx996lohTJxKADfyRqLiwiVRKoWbruvaZeaH-HJfqtjD4PqBL-JUrkRE3CSXVjXrETcN9fAI-RarX520iVmSpgdDI8ZHYCl4o_v8UqIv_bwXR4hv7su8Uvv-Wo/s320/DSC_0027.JPG" /></a><a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/1501775_10202714561174768_3960548659563423716_n.jpg?oh=bf4a5209056749d78ed2f9a0832e9fea&oe=54E175C5&__gda__=1426915698_18b877df19e3ee39913bf42a85368f70" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/1501775_10202714561174768_3960548659563423716_n.jpg?oh=bf4a5209056749d78ed2f9a0832e9fea&oe=54E175C5&__gda__=1426915698_18b877df19e3ee39913bf42a85368f70" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18372774072514157309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700660838880700376.post-61215760238590346022014-08-27T07:26:00.000-07:002014-08-27T07:36:39.544-07:00Update lets see a lot has gone on since I last blogged.
Madisyn came home with lice and it turned into an epidemic, it was horrible. I felt like the worst person in the world and felt it was my fault that she had gotten it, but it wasn't. I never had to deal with these annoying and nasty bugs before so we had an adventure ahead of us. She was scratching her head and her hair was sticking up everywhere from scratching so I checked and of course to my horror there was a bug running around on her head. EWW I thought I looked at Greg and whispered "she has lice" so I ran too Albertsons, got the box of RID and came home. We put it on her head and combed out bugs for about 4 1/2 hours. And to our nightmare the RID didn't work at all, so we researched and researched to figure out what else we could do to get rid of this crap. Come to find out that we had everything already in the house vinegar and tons of white conditioner, lice comb, and shower caps and tons and tons of laundry to wash. It was overwhelming everyday combing out bugs that we missed and eggs on top of eggs I was so tired of seeing more eggs day after day would this ever end after 3 weeks of this I was so ready to call the lice professionals to come into our home treat all of our heads and clean our house. I was ready to pay for this to be gone and I didn't care how much it was going to cost. I was done. Have you ever read what is in the ingredients in the rid no wonder why it will burn your head if you leave it on too long. We will never ever use that stuff again. The vinegar and conditioner worked wonders. We had another episode of the nasty bugs again not to long ago but we think we caught it early. We did the vinegar and conditioner treatment again and combed out eggs and tons of laundry again. We have overcame the overwhelming epidemic that was set forth in front of us. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYOkiphcvEqFral74XlLzZQCs-ZKBSbAUu70eqx0viL9_rJJOSH9fXuj8CYEX9yRDjuca8sWRqYagqz2p7sO6UBvYs6T4u8LkEO5AlTjQLQarB-Qoa-o1Vd4d93r6uHZddz80ocnHXnU0/s1600/10417490_10202229993900889_5816532536236474631_n%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYOkiphcvEqFral74XlLzZQCs-ZKBSbAUu70eqx0viL9_rJJOSH9fXuj8CYEX9yRDjuca8sWRqYagqz2p7sO6UBvYs6T4u8LkEO5AlTjQLQarB-Qoa-o1Vd4d93r6uHZddz80ocnHXnU0/s320/10417490_10202229993900889_5816532536236474631_n%5B1%5D.jpg" /></a>
Madisyn lost her first tooth and the tooth fairy came while she was sleeping and left her 1.00 underneath her pillow, it was all glittery and sparkled. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiurawkg7nAb3cfz72sqim4sqT6gIqFjgC0UqMt-EdKvZ4U0q2yON7wNU1BqJG7zbHaLYKaMLSsbPOylvISkn4TFNJlFDboY8jy2PmOl4aghE-kSy1Zmrk_j9bEKf0xRwjL7vKitiHdRgc/s1600/10383090_10202144408401305_6865819775140062318_n%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiurawkg7nAb3cfz72sqim4sqT6gIqFjgC0UqMt-EdKvZ4U0q2yON7wNU1BqJG7zbHaLYKaMLSsbPOylvISkn4TFNJlFDboY8jy2PmOl4aghE-kSy1Zmrk_j9bEKf0xRwjL7vKitiHdRgc/s320/10383090_10202144408401305_6865819775140062318_n%5B1%5D.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHcO_mJ8RwpG3to0G7-yPH3mIkcqNAds6Cw-6HzR9WYkPci1YEl1OLlICHc0xSvDSl8mv7-5bvZhRxWqvKgJ9yYK1POM-gCSjRCLJYor6VuEJTGFJAtF1UZC31vekGInDTao-EvG04deY/s1600/10485827_10202144408121298_3600704765845780300_n%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHcO_mJ8RwpG3to0G7-yPH3mIkcqNAds6Cw-6HzR9WYkPci1YEl1OLlICHc0xSvDSl8mv7-5bvZhRxWqvKgJ9yYK1POM-gCSjRCLJYor6VuEJTGFJAtF1UZC31vekGInDTao-EvG04deY/s320/10485827_10202144408121298_3600704765845780300_n%5B1%5D.jpg" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18372774072514157309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700660838880700376.post-88823559275994660282014-01-01T11:35:00.001-08:002014-01-01T11:35:08.611-08:00Goodbye 2013, hello 2014<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE_2a3bjp-Pp-y902DeyLMz_D82Utmbo5UJt7gMCsztbv1EdYvN5uBCiqasV6gNECpfZqYfCkpY6bgdGQk0mON_sR37tDXEKB9GO320hGoRyEQvrYzPWjL8KowE0LyuvVqMrJfpU2jcCs/s1600/fun+times.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE_2a3bjp-Pp-y902DeyLMz_D82Utmbo5UJt7gMCsztbv1EdYvN5uBCiqasV6gNECpfZqYfCkpY6bgdGQk0mON_sR37tDXEKB9GO320hGoRyEQvrYzPWjL8KowE0LyuvVqMrJfpU2jcCs/s320/fun+times.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq9yCuRuh1wxo5zQshKeVgTFMZrNQx1YjMREsQ3HR3lzWej7Ra9sR5qrDI_Fj38SkHVSTc4Ik4068sFZ0ql3sWy-hdIiYuKMJ952JiG8NaXYfJ-yQDzvXESUps_MAwfUwrL1y9dATsBHc/s1600/me.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq9yCuRuh1wxo5zQshKeVgTFMZrNQx1YjMREsQ3HR3lzWej7Ra9sR5qrDI_Fj38SkHVSTc4Ik4068sFZ0ql3sWy-hdIiYuKMJ952JiG8NaXYfJ-yQDzvXESUps_MAwfUwrL1y9dATsBHc/s320/me.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkryzULBmorNhJjjHHYzVoACpeqM0psTGrz8ktptpd8haO74IWnkN4e6JySElVtPS_rNOwbLTjxuzkwLeHhCsWQrg8SJFOz1cgp9ZiB4VGgLh3jDuyewgfuvuP5BAEN6a_XnkJcUKU4S4/s1600/maddie+and+me.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkryzULBmorNhJjjHHYzVoACpeqM0psTGrz8ktptpd8haO74IWnkN4e6JySElVtPS_rNOwbLTjxuzkwLeHhCsWQrg8SJFOz1cgp9ZiB4VGgLh3jDuyewgfuvuP5BAEN6a_XnkJcUKU4S4/s320/maddie+and+me.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFgU18aX2DDC6mB-DIcqkVn_JHVBK4-nqzHc9p3ft6tMAHZtk-QFY-tApxCD6CCZzvWVngtJRjJRKMaDuF3IvVuO0qBh1arXXtvUhqXIl3weTbxxnEZ-07FF_A6DKMrf8vp-iBk_fdpo4/s1600/us.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFgU18aX2DDC6mB-DIcqkVn_JHVBK4-nqzHc9p3ft6tMAHZtk-QFY-tApxCD6CCZzvWVngtJRjJRKMaDuF3IvVuO0qBh1arXXtvUhqXIl3weTbxxnEZ-07FF_A6DKMrf8vp-iBk_fdpo4/s320/us.jpg" /></a>Its 2014 we made it :) yay!
Everyone makes new years resolutions and it usually begins with I want to go on a diet or loose weight, be healthier. Usually mine does too, that's pretty much every year that I make those same new years resolutions. But this year is going to be a different resolution, I have made the decision to not make that same resolution because it never works I usually fall off after a month of doing it and its not reality. This year my new years resolution is to be me and not give in too things that don't make me happy and to let go of the past. Learn to deal with things and people who have hurt me in the past, and to recognize that not everyone is going to hurt me and to be able to let people in again. I plan to check into and start going back to school to better the life of my children and mine,to go up not down. I am so ready for a new and positive outlook in this year 2014. I am not going to make a list of everything that I want to change about myself but just start with the little things and see what happens. I may succeed in all these goals that I have set for myself maybe not but at least there something that will set me in the right path of new beginnings and new positive outlooks of people and things that I require from myself. I hope that I have many adventures this year and things that I will learn from. I really want to be inspired this year to do things that I have always wanted to do but never had the confidence to do them. So this year I will try to work on that whole aspect as well. Welcome to my new adventure and life lessons.

I thought when everything started to down spiral that the saying was completely off and that it would bring you bad luck because nothing good was happening to me, But guess what it was true everything happens for a reason there were more positives than negatives that<a

/></a> came out of this year. So that black eyed pea did give me good luck. It brought many new challenges, yes but it gave me something I never had before determination. As I reflect on the Year 2013 and how much has happened to me, Lets just say a lot of crap. This year has been filled with heartbreaks, struggles, independence, new adventures, new beginning's and endings, happiness, building friendships and relationships. There has been many positive things that this year has brought me as well as negative things that has changed my whole life and flipped it upside down, and nothing that I would wish upon my worst enemy. It has brought me many lessons that I have learned from. Nothing in life is a mistake its a lesson in disguise and things that I have learned from, With each one it has taught me something. Many of them I have no idea what yet, but someday I will. I have built a relationship with my father this year and have become closer with him which is something that I have never had. I am so happy that I was given that opportunity to rebuild that relationship with somebody that is a huge part of my life. I feel like I am much closer to my family then I have been in the past. I have been able to talk to them about problems and get advice from them. This year I think for me was about learning that life is what it is, and sometimes people are going to break you but you will get up and move on and be that much stronger. I am stronger than I ever have been in my life, that's a positive. I am more optimistic than I have been before. I have also learned that I need my family more than I thought that I did. When all of the bad stuff happened I felt like a tornado had just come through and nothing was ever going to get better. It did though like life always does. Life is full of trials and tribulations and sometimes you got to take it by the horns and say I am going to conquer this.
How much can one person endure? apparently I can handle a lot more then I had ever imagined. Its amazing after you look back on what you have overcome and struggled with how much you come out stronger and ready for the next thing to come across, Because guess what I can handle it. Bring on the next chapter in life the year 2014 because its going to be awesome. 2014 is going to bring many new adventures and more outgoing things for me and my family. 2014 is going to be a positive and uplifting year because 2013 has been rough and hell for me and my family. We got through it, its almost over.

We all are looking for the one and it seems to take a lot to find that one that we are all meant to be with. How will I know if the one got away because I didn't want to go on the emotional roller coaster that was becoming a trend. Maybe just maybe I learned something from this about myself and about how this world works but then again maybe not. To learn to let go of something even though I wanted it so bad, and that my friends is part of growing up and With every life lesson and heart break we grow from it and change even if we don't want to, but it happens. I in fact have grown a lot from mike breaking my heart after telling me that he wanted a divorce. My world was crushed and I thought that I wasn't going to be able to go on, but guess what I picked the pieces up of that broken heart and amended it back together even though I hated him and didn't want anything to do with him for awhile. I have to admit that because he did what he did that I was going to punish him by keeping him from talking to the kids or even getting pictures of them. Because I felt that he didn't deserve it. He did this to us and its all his fault. But after awhile I started to heal my heart and realized that that's not right and I was actually in the wrong for doing that. But I didn't want anything to do with him if I didn't have to talk to him it made my life a little bit easer to deal with what was going on. It wasn't fair to the kids either but I was hurting and didn't really know how to deal with what was going on around me. He was my everything, my world and after 10 years I had to learn to be without him and know that it wasn't perfect like I thought that it was. I had to learn to let go of him and the life that I once had it was over and I will never have it back, but With time I healed and moved on with my life. Then after moving on from this I had doubts at first since I was really afraid to get my heart broken again because it was hard to get over the first one. But it happens everyone gets their heartbroken but its part of life. And it happened again, here we go again, another heart break now what do I do. The same thing get up and deal with it and maybe not fall so quickly next time. Sometimes though you just can't help who we fall for, it is what it is, its going to happen just learn to let go. I am now waiting for the next one to break my heart and than again another damn lesson to be learned. I just wish I knew what lessons they were to be learned from. Maybe its just time to let go of it and then maybe someday I will realize why I had to let go of it whatever it maybe have been. <br />

And now You wait for him to text and call but he never does, every time the text tone goes off you jump and run to the phone thinking that maybe just maybe he changed his mind, but he didn't. But as the days pass, day by day you loose hope, you start thinking and wondering what went wrong, what did I do to make him not want to be with me anymore. Its amazing how one thing can change everything, one second and one word can change the outcome of so much. How do I get on with life when I feel like the world has crashed on my head once again. How do you know when your right for someone or vice versa? I guess only time will tell that part, nobody really knows until we are upon it. Even though my heart is broken, It will amend again with time. Although I still believe in fairytales but the fairy tales never tell you about the many heart breaks that you may face in life. Some may hurt more than others and some may not hurt at all. With all the hurt that you have endured in such a short period of time you become guarded from love because you have been hurt to much and can't let it happen again. If that guy hurt me, what's this one capable of doing to me. Relationships don't always end up in a perfect happily ever after like they do in fairy tales. We all would like to believe that they do, then love would be as simple as the story of Cinderella, But its reality and it usually doesn't end up like that. So we get up and move on with life and try to keep busy so we don't think about him. The simple fact that it doesn't help that everywhere you go you see his vehicle or that you see the places that you went together and the memories that you shared. Even where you first met is everywhere you go because its the way you come home from work and go to work every day, it used to make you smile and now it just makes you sad. Guess I better find a new route to and from work so I don't have to see it everyday and think about him. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuBaLShjtkwklZBtD8TfglDV2_rBmdWEX25BxeIRIY23Vp7iG6x0iPU-a1rhcPXeKsWf9m5T8CDl4RpgfWW9FTRyawduSGYSKrlvzd-D7RE0a11Sx0IojRRcYfVkvGBfrLRkCV9n1p43Y/s1600/cupid-and-a-gun.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuBaLShjtkwklZBtD8TfglDV2_rBmdWEX25BxeIRIY23Vp7iG6x0iPU-a1rhcPXeKsWf9m5T8CDl4RpgfWW9FTRyawduSGYSKrlvzd-D7RE0a11Sx0IojRRcYfVkvGBfrLRkCV9n1p43Y/s320/cupid-and-a-gun.jpg" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18372774072514157309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700660838880700376.post-35248966691609455872013-11-15T18:07:00.001-08:002013-11-15T18:07:39.524-08:00Katy Perry - Part Of Me<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/uuwfgXD8qV8" width="480"></iframe><br />

The kids and I are finally starting to get settled in our new home. It maybe small but its our space that we can learn to love, its smaller than what we are used too but its cute and perfect for us 3. I never imagined my life going in this direction, but its here and I am embracing every many memory it has to offer me, looking in to positive changes that I am making in my life and the kids life. Life is way to short to dread on the past and dwell on it. whatever happened in the past happened and theres nothing that I can do to change it, so I have to look forward to the future and whatever may come towards the kids and my way, who knows you never know what the future holds until its upon you. Maybe there is a fairytale out there somewhere but until then keep moving forward not backwards.
My baby will start kindergarten in 2 weeks, I can't believe that she will be a kindergartener this year, and aiden will be a second grader. Wow, how the time has flown by I feel like these past couple of years have just flown by. These two kids have grown so much in the past 1 and half years that they amaze me everyday.
We are now working on schedules and madisyn is starting to get the hang of it going to bed at 9:00 pm every night instead of whenever she wants to go to bed. She seems to be starting to get the hang of it and the fact that she gets to put stickers on a chart for a treat motivates her even more. Aiden is working on not wearing pull ups at night time and not peeing the bed at night time. He is on week 2 of not peeing in his bed so that's going well. I think he just needed his space with his own room and our own house to help launch him. So right now aiden and madisyn are working on getting to go to chucky cheeses but they have to earn a lot more stickers to get to go. The more things that they do the more stickers they earn and the faster they get to go. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC_-6gFmuUtMb9I05Bil7gkElLBxkI50HrZCXRHBINn1A2xLVVT5FWvk3Y5WfDB8LtUD-OiGCiK4yc2GSJTFTYG0xcTZDA11vqxO59cPK4PzUFnnGoEoTkH1bZSkS-_qSw4SrYnxwksuI/s1600/IMG_0096.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC_-6gFmuUtMb9I05Bil7gkElLBxkI50HrZCXRHBINn1A2xLVVT5FWvk3Y5WfDB8LtUD-OiGCiK4yc2GSJTFTYG0xcTZDA11vqxO59cPK4PzUFnnGoEoTkH1bZSkS-_qSw4SrYnxwksuI/s320/IMG_0096.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglZuwQan2p2UKjNs-QXuyQxEtdmrvc2eLrl124oKSKGksfb_kvyklVYc7d8JTNvIxd-VGa45se_Dkn22YWG40dNMD6DJqDJhgF00Hk_cQmN38-SYAGUUBw-afgYGYnki1GBq_LjqCNbxs/s1600/IMG_0498.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglZuwQan2p2UKjNs-QXuyQxEtdmrvc2eLrl124oKSKGksfb_kvyklVYc7d8JTNvIxd-VGa45se_Dkn22YWG40dNMD6DJqDJhgF00Hk_cQmN38-SYAGUUBw-afgYGYnki1GBq_LjqCNbxs/s320/IMG_0498.JPG" /></a>
As I look back in the past year, I have achieved many great things and accomplished a lot more than I ever thought that I ever could. My family has been there every step towards a new me and has helped me in more ways than I could ever repay them. Each and everyone of them has helped in so many ways that they may not even know that they helped but they did. I am so thankful for each and everyone of them without any of them I don't know where I would be right now, probably lost and have no idea where to go next. But because of them I am a much stronger person and ready for this new adventure to start. So lets move forward and look towards more positive outlooks. Remember to smile you never know whose day you may have changed by just a smile, even though its a small gesture, It could change someone's whole outlook on the day. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5HIvtBDWLhT-5cKrqU9vDAe4Bpmk_STHMv7GnJzDQVihGl_L_a6PubVdb2u35qkBLld8PdGb63YE4qkdZdYiSJxBF5N-2JxArsvaZkoaZtfwUm5ae3d85ogETCHed2taqbADxTopTmuk/s1600/DSC_0082.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5HIvtBDWLhT-5cKrqU9vDAe4Bpmk_STHMv7GnJzDQVihGl_L_a6PubVdb2u35qkBLld8PdGb63YE4qkdZdYiSJxBF5N-2JxArsvaZkoaZtfwUm5ae3d85ogETCHed2taqbADxTopTmuk/s320/DSC_0082.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtto-ifb4EJL1CJvaWbPIwiK6v-9nNJ23KqDpfLpdpZWCjLaWNKRqd7pvXOJdnjlp_TKdJxvxseMa8hHEGJshYVFFc8sFpqNzVUb9HvYc8V2SBbdunnRebnmPXveEGzU9QPQTx6sJ-ims/s1600/DSC_0079.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtto-ifb4EJL1CJvaWbPIwiK6v-9nNJ23KqDpfLpdpZWCjLaWNKRqd7pvXOJdnjlp_TKdJxvxseMa8hHEGJshYVFFc8sFpqNzVUb9HvYc8V2SBbdunnRebnmPXveEGzU9QPQTx6sJ-ims/s320/DSC_0079.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZEfH-itJPxxcSOjD5HQvt1Zc4j6yDia7vMQocbEKscR2EVsrvWKLqKLn1sBDmHZ9j3ExborCro9IF7VcfmXaYVAkey588nt8mPtpEiO9k0B0Puj0xsdn5BWsP8BvQ05QBVNLtOSzIiPU/s1600/DSC_0014.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZEfH-itJPxxcSOjD5HQvt1Zc4j6yDia7vMQocbEKscR2EVsrvWKLqKLn1sBDmHZ9j3ExborCro9IF7VcfmXaYVAkey588nt8mPtpEiO9k0B0Puj0xsdn5BWsP8BvQ05QBVNLtOSzIiPU/s320/DSC_0014.JPG" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18372774072514157309noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700660838880700376.post-57556467135564028902013-06-17T07:26:00.000-07:002013-06-17T07:27:05.578-07:00review of chocolate frosted flakesGuess what came in the mail today?
Yes, we received our bzzagent package that had our chocolate frosted flakes. I hope they taste as good as they look, we shall see. I gave the kids the chocolate frosted flakes the following morning for breakfast, aiden gave them a thumbs up he loved them said they turned the milk chocolaty yum. I had a bite of the kids, and thought they tasted pretty good they tasted a lot better than I had expected them too. Madisyn is not a huge fan of cereal but I wanted her to try them to see if she would eat them. She said they were good but she liked them better without milk. I will more than likely buy this cereal again in the future, and put it in snack bags for Madisyn to eat as a snack. So I will get two purposes out of the cereal one for breakfast and the second for a snack. Most people would think yuck that sounds disgusting but it kind of tasted just like crunchy chocolate cereal. If you have a chocolate lover in your house like we do our son, I suggest trying this yummy but delicious cereal. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkbi-VYljYquw7hm9xUsdKEYWwUyx0MfevhzboqSG-hVvZRL_FZ5mUwJjQsbz3zduEDfOLqRGLxuJPBxHBKIa36Dv3q7XLE34a1RONV47NUHjC4Pj20CWr_-2VkHe7peA_c0dNbHZa5dQ/s1600/melissa+camera+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkbi-VYljYquw7hm9xUsdKEYWwUyx0MfevhzboqSG-hVvZRL_FZ5mUwJjQsbz3zduEDfOLqRGLxuJPBxHBKIa36Dv3q7XLE34a1RONV47NUHjC4Pj20CWr_-2VkHe7peA_c0dNbHZa5dQ/s320/melissa+camera+002.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUZUZEEWP70cwjfAi8ef9_RnHGPYLG3x2yfe5xnraqs0evnyznVVjiF4ZZjhuo0rggH-Dh09WxL_skhESwpUCyii-Se716VceqTSZi_1bSBX0bZTusSnd540R6Ub4u9zvl3R5ClFv7t5A/s1600/melissa+camera+003+-+Copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUZUZEEWP70cwjfAi8ef9_RnHGPYLG3x2yfe5xnraqs0evnyznVVjiF4ZZjhuo0rggH-Dh09WxL_skhESwpUCyii-Se716VceqTSZi_1bSBX0bZTusSnd540R6Ub4u9zvl3R5ClFv7t5A/s320/melissa+camera+003+-+Copy.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZQHq5VopOLJP3Tq6XYo_EZNU4N_5TtGQ4cjX3BjMAY67QXJxsyU44h6s9pK9QwyFGVxNClOJEr5C_HMJt9MrFqig72cPogrhTYSuRBIene3gWxVreCebsOS0hun6j1oBN51nESmH-NL0/s1600/melissa+camera+004+-+Copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZQHq5VopOLJP3Tq6XYo_EZNU4N_5TtGQ4cjX3BjMAY67QXJxsyU44h6s9pK9QwyFGVxNClOJEr5C_HMJt9MrFqig72cPogrhTYSuRBIene3gWxVreCebsOS0hun6j1oBN51nESmH-NL0/s320/melissa+camera+004+-+Copy.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicVan7GPjuXugyvEocIU2XIk9NdpUrx92a0cLUlBepHZu84RPQtxdKHf6UKbT0QHlLTdKJFKbWSc-cXknz3aX1n7qSeo5SULwfIp5BwWN8Du8D6wzp0Vo-NuOpZAORDBAQx0exCgOdiHU/s1600/melissa+camera+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicVan7GPjuXugyvEocIU2XIk9NdpUrx92a0cLUlBepHZu84RPQtxdKHf6UKbT0QHlLTdKJFKbWSc-cXknz3aX1n7qSeo5SULwfIp5BwWN8Du8D6wzp0Vo-NuOpZAORDBAQx0exCgOdiHU/s320/melissa+camera+005.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwSQgdgoUncSNDWQrKvZ_USuA2-1LeBKSU6xi1-QM19lRdBVrbOmf4ZhR4q7JhKSVIAjr4K8k8xOpgp3nCIrt8uvXF3Y2TZis8sTZD1P-lh_oMOmBf2XFLXWOKBa3SqK5nqeLneKmKsqk/s1600/melissa+camera+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwSQgdgoUncSNDWQrKvZ_USuA2-1LeBKSU6xi1-QM19lRdBVrbOmf4ZhR4q7JhKSVIAjr4K8k8xOpgp3nCIrt8uvXF3Y2TZis8sTZD1P-lh_oMOmBf2XFLXWOKBa3SqK5nqeLneKmKsqk/s320/melissa+camera+006.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVNOp_gy0gcdzGyrEh7ww8cljLfxzHN_HmEHypMXv65DyxKa3zUJWjFwyhEaId1rAG0hyphenhyphenLIpKSxHAsIOBGPBfeTXOb2czqxbLUOJQ9ZAvlTpkJtPVEYFdqP3dNPdg18xhmB9jJXWBucNk/s1600/melissa+camera+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVNOp_gy0gcdzGyrEh7ww8cljLfxzHN_HmEHypMXv65DyxKa3zUJWjFwyhEaId1rAG0hyphenhyphenLIpKSxHAsIOBGPBfeTXOb2czqxbLUOJQ9ZAvlTpkJtPVEYFdqP3dNPdg18xhmB9jJXWBucNk/s320/melissa+camera+007.JPG" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18372774072514157309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700660838880700376.post-47389928003277327592013-04-05T22:19:00.002-07:002013-04-05T22:23:14.565-07:00The mountain I have never wanted something so bad in a long time. The test or as I called it my mountain that I needed to conquer to get our lives back on track again. And if I failed this thing again I would look at myself as a failure. How does something like one test determine your faith and determine your future? Yea I graduated from nursing school but that wasn't the end of it I still have to pass this test, and until I did I haven't accomplished my dream of being a nurse. So on April 2 2013 I went to the Pearson vue center in Renton and checked in to take this test. The test or the mountain that I called it, I was going to pass this time around. I sat down relaxed and took my time I was cut off at number 135 and freaked out thinking that. Maybe I really did pass this time around or maybe I did so bad that I couldn't even come back from it. So I waited and waited kept checking the nursing boards just to see if it had changed and to my surprise it didn't kept saying pending "maybe I did fail" so the next day I checked in the morning nothing later that day checked and it changed under my name it said active. Holy crap I did it this time I did it I have accomplished it. I am a licensed practical nurse. I was so excited that my kids were the first to know and they both gave me high five and were so happy for me. They alone made my day . In this journey my kids have learned a lot how u can do anything that u set your mind too and that failing doesn't necessarily mean you failed, and that when you fail you get up and you try again, being successful doesn't always come the first time around for some and sometimes like me it takes a little bit more determination to get to that goal no matter what it is. I truly believe that everything does happen for a reason. Maybe this was a test or a lesson in disguise.

But my children have been driving me bananas this time. With that being said I was able to read a book for about an hour this morning but then they started to act crazy and being really loud and obnoxious so I figured it was time to take them to do something. We headed to a&w to get lunch and then to the history harbor museum that's in Gig harbor we had coupons to use :-) so we got lunch for 6.00 which fed all 3 of us and then the museum was 6.00 for all three of us so 12.00 for all of us for the day. The museum very kid friendly and was pretty impressed with it. The kids had fun, they had a special exhibit that was digging for fossils which they really enjoyed doing in that. The school house outside was pretty cool and the boats that we were able to get in and tour them and what they looked.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18372774072514157309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700660838880700376.post-42757486210478895592013-03-24T12:59:00.001-07:002013-03-24T13:00:33.300-07:00Learning site wordsAs we all know that life sometimes is pretty hard being a mom and trying to teach your children the best that you can. We have a son who is 7 yrs old and has speech apraxia For many of you who don't know its basically a learning disability. Aiden knows what he wants to say but he can't form the words to get them out the right way, so his brain has to find a different path to learn. SO learning to read and memorizing site words is a pretty hard task for him. I was looking on pinterest to see if I could find anything that I could make or use to help him make this memorization fun for him. I found something similar to this but I made my own, I was able to let maddie also play so she could learn also. I would call out the site word and the kids would have to find them and put the car in that parking spot. It was more like a bingo type of game but with cars and parking spots. They seemed to have fun with it. I also put velcro on the back of cards so that way I could switch out the words with different ones. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieM0INjpYH0D07l2QpRkoH0ri_Yhcc8JTD04MiEuPr9X0pFqKZs_raFIQnga5rE2XO4D8KlRGhZQ4RF09IF_HNIqqRgfYymSuNd8hFx0h8QYdnchiQsJ7Y-EbtZZzKZDPGyWJGECyNgbI/s1600/DSC_0121.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieM0INjpYH0D07l2QpRkoH0ri_Yhcc8JTD04MiEuPr9X0pFqKZs_raFIQnga5rE2XO4D8KlRGhZQ4RF09IF_HNIqqRgfYymSuNd8hFx0h8QYdnchiQsJ7Y-EbtZZzKZDPGyWJGECyNgbI/s320/DSC_0121.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP5GXi5KP9XpJsZ4W2ZkUTAMCN5L2LMU25zq7F8EB-rfdjjAT-PM0kG4oCqdjUszIfxsWV2cvxF00-pnE67yKBKSB-CTBy7VBygt_rd76weHM_57FATLCMiOZSbEfUVpkUtwuN2MUM168/s1600/DSC_0123.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP5GXi5KP9XpJsZ4W2ZkUTAMCN5L2LMU25zq7F8EB-rfdjjAT-PM0kG4oCqdjUszIfxsWV2cvxF00-pnE67yKBKSB-CTBy7VBygt_rd76weHM_57FATLCMiOZSbEfUVpkUtwuN2MUM168/s320/DSC_0123.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYFY_PJWGL-MYDLGzO6T4EoOIEBgzc6Ku8LI7Ti7XDppBDqm3sLb-FzlgaNouqRHllSNwUj6oSt3mqQOz3YwjCGzPlUTG3ac96-ZoJ7AqK1K84kEkk0l6jwVILdvMc8VFXSxd0Rpo45tg/s1600/DSC_0124.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYFY_PJWGL-MYDLGzO6T4EoOIEBgzc6Ku8LI7Ti7XDppBDqm3sLb-FzlgaNouqRHllSNwUj6oSt3mqQOz3YwjCGzPlUTG3ac96-ZoJ7AqK1K84kEkk0l6jwVILdvMc8VFXSxd0Rpo45tg/s320/DSC_0124.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM_hbAVD4z9nJj3FVFMOiKaF08vOc_n_kYjhPOXkz3u5cKaRINwkuIhDqWSBdk3iHx1ddXxJG_TOepNOaIIegfS-64YET3l2CPeKhP-KfXYSpUwQ4VfQeS8tqf141QpNxri1WNA-2vZPM/s1600/DSC_0125.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM_hbAVD4z9nJj3FVFMOiKaF08vOc_n_kYjhPOXkz3u5cKaRINwkuIhDqWSBdk3iHx1ddXxJG_TOepNOaIIegfS-64YET3l2CPeKhP-KfXYSpUwQ4VfQeS8tqf141QpNxri1WNA-2vZPM/s320/DSC_0125.JPG" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18372774072514157309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700660838880700376.post-46200466271186791492012-11-29T15:38:00.000-08:002013-03-16T12:39:58.085-07:00somethings that we are going to try and do that are around kitsap<b>As a mom of two rambunctious kids a boy whose 7 years old and a girl whose 5 years old. I'm always trying to find things to do that doesn't cost a fortune to do or involves being outside since it seems to rain constantly here in the state of Washington. I have compiled a list of somethings to do some of these things we have done and some we haven't tried yet but will be soon.
<b>Keyport naval undersea museum-<b>We did this one last weekend on Sunday the 10 March 2013 aiden was a little scared at first because we came in the diving suits that the Navy used were right there and that freaked him out a bit. He started to warm up after a bit. The museum was nice it was kid friendly had an area for kids to play and dress up in navy uniforms with covers as well. The kids also goto to talk on sound power phones which they thought that was awesome. The best part was there was an area that they got to pretend they were in a submarine and be in with the controls and drive the submarine, My kids got to see kind of what their daddy did as part of his job when he was in the military. The cost was free there wasn't really busy at all and they got to take coloring pages home to color, They had a blast so I would recommend this place also and the best part its free.
<b><b>The bug museum</b></b>- We went and discovered the bug museum which is in bremerton and across from the shipyard. The bug museum was free and it was pretty cool the kids had a lot of fun looking at the ants, spiders and different types of bugs. It also had some reptiles in another room that housed snakes and lizards. I was pretty impressed with this place, it took us about 30 minutes to walk through. They also had a tortoise that was in a fenced area that was just roaming in that area, the kids got to touch his shell, they were pretty psyched about being able to touch the shell.
<b>The library</b> which we frequently visit since its free to borrow books gives the kids something educational.
<b>Kidimu</b> which is banbridge island looks fun and not expensive 6.00 a person and there's a coupon for a free admission bogo. So we plan on doing that one.
<b>poulsbo marine center</b> this looks pretty cool to do. We did do this on a weekend it was pretty cool the kids really enjoyed walking around and looking at all of the fish and sea life that we have here around the Puget sound. The cost was free and then took them to ice cream at a local ice cream shop. Which was very good, it was creamy and delicious I have to say. We will be doing this outing again in the near future. It took about 20 minutes to walk through, there was a coloring/activity area at the end which we did stay at that part to color and play with some of the things they had in there.The staff were very helpful and educated they had a lot of information to share with us. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9tpS9rEX_ycuBUkC2Ekv7zIrvMfn1IyoruiV6ZGX0PkfKaTOJ008QRgVv9shKaE_6xDXP6nrCSuoQhBXjvAmE716MfQkokhlZOqZj0IbPz8GmphOeHIXdLZ7jcaPI806WySKX4w9-Gj8/s1600/050.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9tpS9rEX_ycuBUkC2Ekv7zIrvMfn1IyoruiV6ZGX0PkfKaTOJ008QRgVv9shKaE_6xDXP6nrCSuoQhBXjvAmE716MfQkokhlZOqZj0IbPz8GmphOeHIXdLZ7jcaPI806WySKX4w9-Gj8/s320/050.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3ExTsYSQc0B-HvnSLUE5SBpQv50c7HoBGo8uCqa_xnz6ws1v0FPGKStW8w6fFNequBLDOIy03vWGfPYr-iM2qJT95XPlrPgU2UxGqKG8TCusEFq4ovEteTkPhmtSiHZH1dM9yGGZVQY4/s1600/042.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3ExTsYSQc0B-HvnSLUE5SBpQv50c7HoBGo8uCqa_xnz6ws1v0FPGKStW8w6fFNequBLDOIy03vWGfPYr-iM2qJT95XPlrPgU2UxGqKG8TCusEFq4ovEteTkPhmtSiHZH1dM9yGGZVQY4/s320/042.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdU8Jw4fwpgGxATWJW_aDko_dBUIRalnLjEOVqJuA0H6MKiGWHcmNEf8OTFvxvnaGlYfsIooIxOx7m4E9esRkdVJmihzEcd_jF6fLr1Nl-jSu-45pu478I7SaAAxxkZgWb1jdjLVj5Yuo/s1600/057.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdU8Jw4fwpgGxATWJW_aDko_dBUIRalnLjEOVqJuA0H6MKiGWHcmNEf8OTFvxvnaGlYfsIooIxOx7m4E9esRkdVJmihzEcd_jF6fLr1Nl-jSu-45pu478I7SaAAxxkZgWb1jdjLVj5Yuo/s320/057.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMTOz6JZS4K58p6knYtbmoGVnQaB70UrpgOrwNfY4mNsjFntgkyUZKdIF2eKKr0gxGf0zanxUAQDoa0NTpywWbCdDEyimYFqMeToCnccSJEbHIbE_3FwSgIShLCE3PHC72Hftd2Rxkebw/s1600/048.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMTOz6JZS4K58p6knYtbmoGVnQaB70UrpgOrwNfY4mNsjFntgkyUZKdIF2eKKr0gxGf0zanxUAQDoa0NTpywWbCdDEyimYFqMeToCnccSJEbHIbE_3FwSgIShLCE3PHC72Hftd2Rxkebw/s320/048.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHd5-w3ONxB5LqpIKnpprvuKbgF52AuOBqBO-fgQJhsWHWlOHFe2AGP7Lj61m_aoGETGOJt04CEwqjsRAHfikyGBso6zqNkK7Yf4NhpbIxPtMg3LSoQt_pvIIfZiLJ4DZrmOPB45C-xEQ/s1600/058.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHd5-w3ONxB5LqpIKnpprvuKbgF52AuOBqBO-fgQJhsWHWlOHFe2AGP7Lj61m_aoGETGOJt04CEwqjsRAHfikyGBso6zqNkK7Yf4NhpbIxPtMg3LSoQt_pvIIfZiLJ4DZrmOPB45C-xEQ/s320/058.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJPsU2w4jdDKrjalVXCPVVHQ7O0TAWppb1hgeaUWvKyp_v19KDA8LWzS3KvkjVTnNNSdC52vjeHc6cc25CMonexpZ8nq88H9HKGbG2-KIKSmae9HJK_HJsHYChvWo90bm2cES5tuWVgTU/s1600/063.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJPsU2w4jdDKrjalVXCPVVHQ7O0TAWppb1hgeaUWvKyp_v19KDA8LWzS3KvkjVTnNNSdC52vjeHc6cc25CMonexpZ8nq88H9HKGbG2-KIKSmae9HJK_HJsHYChvWo90bm2cES5tuWVgTU/s320/063.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvxXPeUi3Zw0_jXcKTCZvjZmqvrutuSO8xvlBooK7EIG8GPlW3cK1oP57IU_0Pt-HP3udespnF3HMaH__ijq8y6hICw8zxj4CNS4nVUW5FpCXrTijOB-pefE6zN2-uNbc6tf3_On_p3oc/s1600/061.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvxXPeUi3Zw0_jXcKTCZvjZmqvrutuSO8xvlBooK7EIG8GPlW3cK1oP57IU_0Pt-HP3udespnF3HMaH__ijq8y6hICw8zxj4CNS4nVUW5FpCXrTijOB-pefE6zN2-uNbc6tf3_On_p3oc/s320/061.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD3G0AAOcBJu5-sctTMmxzd0FcaK0km7y-dPLda7WPEQThytQbuD-iiOn0I9cmRU65eraRQpzPpNl6fJp_wf825hWSA_fSmtLDbAcTmikaJ6oNiUzbe2YFqsGHnscvnDgYTnsSEttDLs8/s1600/062.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD3G0AAOcBJu5-sctTMmxzd0FcaK0km7y-dPLda7WPEQThytQbuD-iiOn0I9cmRU65eraRQpzPpNl6fJp_wf825hWSA_fSmtLDbAcTmikaJ6oNiUzbe2YFqsGHnscvnDgYTnsSEttDLs8/s320/062.JPG" /></a> </b>
<b>play kitsap</b> looks like a place that we went to in Ohio and we loved it so gonna check that place out.
<b>imagination station</b> Port orchard its an indoor play center for kids 0-6 cost is 7.00 per child and 5.00 for sibling and that's for all day. We did this yesterday March 15 2013 I didn't get any pics of maddie playing but I would recommend this for everyone. Maddie had a lot of fun playing in the houses, grocery shopping with the pretend food and grocery carts, also they had a playset that had a huge slide that she could have gone down. They also had tables that were set up on the side so I was able to drink my coffee and study for the nclex while she played. It was all enclosed so she couldn't leave without someone opening the door from the opposite side. We did have a little bit of a problem everyone has to have socks on so we had to buy her some socks from the dollar tree, and her sweatshirt got swiped so I would advice to not put coats or sweatshirts on the hooks, next time I will take her stuff inside with me to wherever I am sitting at.
<b>the Victorian tea house</b> I want to take my daughter her for tea I think she would really love having a somewhat of a tea party since she is at that age where she wants to have tea parties.
<b>Jump</b> Gig harbor inflatables admission 7.00 siblings 5.00 another place we are going to try.
<b>play a latte</b> just my place drink a latte while the kids play and have adult conversation. Admission is 7.00 and 4.50 for each additional child

So I decided to try the new Claritin D 12 hour relief product to see if maybe it would work better on my sinus infections. Since I seem to get them constantly up here in Washington and let me tell you they suck. The other day I had some horrible sinus pressure and was in pain so I took one I was pretty impressed with Claritin D it did its job and I was able to be a mom with having much pain due to the sinus infection. I would recommend this product to others. I had pretty good luck and outcome with this product.

I got up at 530 am and drove an hour away to take the biggest test of my life, only to come out thinking that I have failed this 200.00 dollar test and 2 yrs of schooling. I have to wait a little bit over 24 hours to find out whether or not I have failed this test. So the waiting game has begun for me and my family oh how stressful that is, I can't wait for this week to be over. So I went to the gym to take a step aerobic class for the first time and that was fun I really enjoyed that and will be doing that again with Athena and then 40 minutes on the treadmill, hoping that would take some of the stress of waiting away for a couple of minutes (maybe just a couple of minutes). But we shall see our fate either tomorrow or Wednesday.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18372774072514157309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700660838880700376.post-8799879858206646312012-10-01T12:48:00.002-07:002012-11-19T18:26:57.834-08:00our first adventure </a>The first week of our adventure we stayed a week in St Louis, Missouri.

hey have and nowhere to run to. And man I do wish that I had <b>their</b> energy I could get everything that I need to do in a week possibly done in one day and that would be amazing. Yesterday was Sunday and we took them to this transportation museum. I was quite impressed it was mainly trains and outside we got to go inside and look around the kids got to pull the bell. We also rode on a trolley that was connected to the cables still. If would highly recommend this spot to see it was an all day adventure but my kids loved it their ages are 4 and 7. We also had a lot of photo oops available let which makes it annoying for my two who seem to get annoyed with me for taking to many pictures of them. And my lovely pics aren't downloading off of this lovely tablelet

This time last year I was admitted into Nursing school and was super excited to start this new adventure in my life. And Now here we are I have accomplished it I graduated on Aug 24 2012 from Licensed practical nursing school even though its only a certificate I feel as though I have acomplished a huge goal of mine. There were times I didn't think that I would make it. There were some terms that I came pretty close to failing even though I gave it my all. I guess sometimes putting your all into something can give you strength to keep moving forward. We are looking at going home to Seattle to start over a new and very challenging life. But all in all I know we can do it.

Madisyn has begun ballet a one of the local ballet studios. She seems to like it but can't seem to dance the whole hour that her class is. She tells me that she is tired so I don't know what to do but keep taking her and hopefully she will begin to stay and dance the whole hour that the class is, but we shall see how long this lasts.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18372774072514157309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700660838880700376.post-8519816488649423812012-02-19T08:36:00.000-08:002012-02-20T06:01:42.984-08:00Making Laundry soap<b>Update<b></b></b> One of my Lo's has bedsheets and pajamas that reek of urine. I usually have to wash them 3 times with vinegar and laundry soap. I washed them in one load with this soap and no smell. I am super excited that I found something to get the urine smell out of his bedding and his clothes. I am very impressed and will probably do this for now on. And the best part it only took about 5 minutes to make it. <br />
<br />
I have decided to try making our own laundry soap, it has taken us almost a year to get down to the last bottle of laundry soap that I had practicularly gotten for free by using coupons. So now onto the next experiment I really hope this works but I plan to do laundry tonight. So this is the perfect time to try something new. I hope that works. So here goes a shot at this. <br />
<br />
So this is my breakdown of how much I spent on everything that I bought.<br />
1- 3 pack ivory soap(free with coupons)<br />
1- 55 oz box Arm and hammer super washing soda(3.00)<br />
1- 76 oz box 20 mule team borax(4.69) (I know this is cheaper at walmart but they were completely out of it)<br />
so for this I used <br />
1 cup borax<br />
1cup super washing soda<br />
1 bar of soap grated with a cheese grater<br />
<br />
mixed all of it together and then put 2 tablespoons in the wash. So far it has washed the clothes but theres no scent which is really odd for me. But I can live with it. So I think I need to try the fabric softener so I can get a smell to our clothes. <br />

So I decided to use them to make madisyn a pair of Pajama pants and I wasn't sure if there would even be enough material to make her a pair, because of the location and how big the hole was in them, but there was enough so I made her a pair. She was so excited to wear them when I tried them on her to get a length for the ruffle on the bottom that she didn't want to take them off. So now she has a pair of incomplete pajama bottoms that she refuses to take off. Oh well at least she likes them and wants to wear them unlike the pillowcase dresses or anything like that. <br />

Sometimes you just have to try things that you see on Pinterest. The site that is so addicting and once you start you can't stop. So as this adventure of finding many different yummy recipes to try there was a really cute photo of a little girl in her mommy's wedding dress. I had to try it and let me tell you it was a lot more complicated then it looked in the picture so heres my little maddie in my wedding dress for her to look back on when she gets married one day, and I know that someday it will be all worth the trouble.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18372774072514157309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700660838880700376.post-68799718898215343772011-11-05T08:54:00.000-07:002011-11-05T08:54:54.467-07:00Making Picture framesIt has been awhile since I posted, With me being so busy with nursing school and study time seems to engulf a lot of my time, that I usually spend crafting with my children and developing their creativeness. So I decided it was about that time to spend some quality crafty time with them and to let them be creative (they love doing crafts and spending time with mom.)So I picked a pretty simple craft that I didn't have to supervise too much while they did it even though I was right there if they needed me for anything. They decorated picture frames all by themselves. <br />

Material:<br />
-Wood Frame(walmart)<br />
