The Wedding was so beautiful. If any two people deserve to be eachother it is these two. The make each other so happy and together with both families make one Big Brady Bunch! This is the one couple that me and Anthony get along with so much that we love hanging out with them. Our kids are all around the same age and love it when we get together to cookout. They bring out the best in eachother and make a great pair. Congrats Martin's!

Also...I want to wish my nephew Ryan A Very Happy 5th Birthday!! You are getting to be such a BIG BOY!! Aunt Julie Loves You!

Me, and Amaya

We got together and enjoyed a evening of being together with our daughters. We had a good meal and lots of goodies to choose from. Then we took portraits with our daughters, and a group Photo. We will be getting the portraits back this coming Monday so then I will post them. I did however take some pictures with my own camera. We had so much fun doing crafts with eachother and playing a fun skittles game with straws! It was Mother's against Daughters...and of course the Mother's won!! YAY! It was nice being able to spend time with Amaya and giving her all my attention...that is sometimes hard when you have three kids and them all wanting attention. All in all it was a fun evening out with the girls!

The girls taking their time to whip up their masterpieces! They had so much fun painting!

We went to Kids in the park. They had all kinds of vendors out there...giving you information on kids saftey and things they offer in town for families. Some were giving away things at their tables and some had crafts and things for the kids to do. Chance was not wanting to go so me and mom took the girls. They made bracelets, got their faces painted, ate snow cones, played basketball, got to paint pictures, they got in the fire truck, and police cars, and we had their pictures and fingerprints taken so that we had a id card in case one of them went missing we would have it. I thought that was a really good thing they were doing. At that point I really had wished Chance would have came. After we left there we went over to Taco Bell and got us some lunch and headed home. We were all wore out from the day!

I'm Home...and it's Beach Time!

Amaya, Chance, Mahayla, and My Mom outside of the Aquarium
Mahayla seen this pink starfish and hollered it's PATRICK from Spongebob! We all had to laugh...even people around us. She loves her some spongebob!

Me and Mahayla inside the bubble that fish were swimming around. She was nervous but smiled.

Amaya's turn in the fish Aquarium bubble. She thought it was so cool.

Chance in the bubble! All smiles!

We decided to jump in the van and go to the beach! We couldn't wait...it's Spring Break for the kids...and we were on our way! We had lot's planned while we are there! Putt-Putting at Broadway at the Beach, in Myrtle Beach, S.C. and going to the Ripley's Aquarium, eating out, shopping, and more! It really wasn't warm enough to swim yet..although the kids insisted they thought it was! We knew better just by putting our feet in the water and how fast the wind was whipping. We had so much fun even if they couldn't swim. It was nice getting outta town and doing something fun. We need to do that more often! Nothing but good times!

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.
