My Texas Trip!!

Me and My New Nephew...Luke Ashton
My nephew Ricky with my little nephew Luke

Ryan, Lori, and Ashleigh

Well I was in Texas and had a blast! I hated to leave..but was ready to see my kids!! I missed them alot. I loved it out there! It seems like a different pace..and living! I was so happy to see my sister and her kids! Plus I got to meet my new little nephew Luke! He is such a little sweetie! I could just eat him up. I had fun playing and hanging out with Ashleigh and Ryan..when they weren't in school. Ricky my other nephew is so tall...I can't believe he is grown. My sister seems to be hanging in there with doing everything on her own. She is one tough cookie! I tell her all the time she is Superwoman for sure! I don't know if I would be up to all the tasks she has to get through. It was really good just spending time with all of them. I missed my family terribly...but I really enjoyed the break. It was long overdue and well worth it. I came back feeling refreshed and ready to jump right into my mommy duties once again! Every mom should have a break sometime or another. It does you good!! I know it did me good!

Mom/Nanny comes !!

Mom came to visit from Michigan! We haven't seen her since August of last year. The kids were so excited to hear that she was coming! The plan is that she is coming here to my house and I am going to visit my sister Lori for a week that just moved out to Texas. Her hubby is in the army and is stationed in Kuwait for a year. I don't remember when the last time I seen her and the kids. It was really sweet of my sister to fly me out to visit. It is my first time EVER leaving my kids. I hope they do okay without me. I am sure they will...and I know mom will take care of them. I sure will miss them. I am kinda nervous about flying alone....but I'm sure I will be just fine! Just hope I don't get homesick.

St. Patricks Day Fun!

Amaya was so excited to wear her Green shirt today! She said she wanted to make sure I remembered because she didn't want to get pinched...so she reminded me everyday up until now to put it on her. She looks so cute!
Mahayla and I wanted to do something fun for St. Patty's Day...so while Chance and Amaya were at school we made Green Sugar Cookies...with food coloring..and she had so much fun mixing it up. We all enjoyed our green sugar cookies..and our green kool-aid that we made. It turned out to be a day of nothing but green, green, green.
