Which one???? Which one???

Hulk or Winnie the Pooh the wonder!!! ( Not even sure what his name is Winnie something)
So I'm having a hard time in deciding which costume I should put on him for that night..I think I will use both cause Friday before Halloween our ward is doing a Trunk or Treat...but I thought I would ask which one you guys thought was cuter for him to wear...Mind you I would paint his face GREEN for the hulk and maybe paint his face yellowish for the winnie one...
HMMMMMMM isn't he so darn cute though!! He had a BLAST and kept running around the living room so it was a little hard taking pictures of him...lol (This costume I got at Spirit Halloween for $20.00...I know what the heck right especially after you find out how much I spent for the winnie but I got the HULK beginning of the month and didn't even think to look at thrift stores...NOW I learned my lesson)

Don't look at the BACKGROUND ha ha ha ha My couch has all my AVON stuff scattered everywhere...lol and some laundry that needs to be put away...

WINNIE the WONDER (not sure what his name is) I know I've seen it on TV before but I can't remember what his name is..I found this costume today at the Salvation Army Thrift Store for $2.00 nothing wrong w/it at all..and in great condition....the tummy part is padded and sticks out some..SOOO DARN CUTE!!

I think he loved this one the BEST, he kept laughing and running around and throwing himself on the floor and couch....silly silly boy!!!

Taylor's Missing Teeth!!

Okay, so I figured I would write a note about the BIG event of taylor loosing her first teeth (yes I said TEETH) and this morning's event!!

So yesterday after school Taylor comes running up to after her teacher let them out to say "mommy I have a loose tooth" and we we're both soo excited! So many other kids we're loosing teeth and Taylor kept wondering when she would finally lose one. We came home and she was about to eat something and I told her to be careful she didn't swallow it so she stopped eating and said "can you please take it out". I grabbed a napkin and pulled it out, she didn't cry or anything she was SOOOO EXCITED!!! Well, 2 hours later (literally) she came up to me and said "mommy I think I have another loose tooth". "WHAT, NO WAY!" was my reply! Sure enough the tooth right next to the other one (bottom front) was really loose too, (how did I not notice)...so napkin number 2 comes out and yank another tooth for the toothfairy! We put them in a baggie and she ran to put under daddy's pillow (daddy is gone on sea training so both kids are in my bed) The night goes on and she keeps talking about how she is a BIG kid now, and I teased her saying she was like a "jack o latern" oh wrong thing to say to such a proud little girl..."NO mommy that is not nice, I'm a big kid" So teasing stopped! She went to bed early, cause she said she couldn't wait till the toothfairy came...


This morning she popped up in bed and said "mommy look I got money and a note" $2.00 and a note that said the toothfairy was taking the teeth back to toothfairy world and she would be back when Taylor lost more teeth and for Taylor to make sure she brushed her teeth and did NOT eat lots of candy...and to take care of her new teeth when they came in. (short version of the note) Taylor was soo excited and ran to the bathroom to brush her teeth...(funny how when the toothfairy says to remember to brush your teeth, then it's important and you run to do it, but if mommy says to do it then it's a HUGE fight) lol


So we get to school and she shows all her friends, and tells them what she got and the note..well one little girl who was very sweet says "the toothfairy gave me $3.00 for my first tooth". Taylor looks up at me and says "mommy why didn't that toothfairy come to our house, I only got $2.00 for 2 teeth" ....TALK about FUNNY!!!! So I said hmmmm that tooth fairy must of got startled and drop more money, but just think you still have tons of more teeth to lose so you will have lots of money before long...(not a good save but all I could come up with on a dime) So I looked at the mom and said "man our toothfairy jipt (sp) us...ha ha ha ha She laughed!!!! So we go to wait in her line for the teacher and Taylor says "mommy its okay I got $2.00, cause she (the little girl who got $3.00) didn't get a special note like I did" AWWWWWWWWWWW I just wanted to cry, I LOVE HER AND soo happy she is my daughter!!!!

My little boy is 1!!!

Today my baby is 1! I can't believe it. He was 3 weeks early and weighed in at 8lbs 3ozs...he definity wanted to come out and make his mark! I'm so happy he is here, and can't imagine NOT having him. He brings so much joy to our home and our family. He is walking more and more and soon will be running I'm sure..

He is silly, and loves his sister! He is her little shadow and to watch them play together and how Taylor cares for him brings so much joy to my heart! Blake is still a mommas boy but he loves loves his daddy. He gets so excited when he sees Mark walk through the door after work and right away wants to be in his arms.

My children are so sweet and watching them grow into their own person is so great to be part of. Blake is doing so much and I can't wait to see how much he weighs at his 1yr check up this Thursday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLAKE!! Mommy, Daddy and Tay Tay love you very much!!

July Aug fun

So not so much happening in the last several weeks since my last post. We have been celebrating birthdays up in Torrance w/our family there. The picture below is Sarah (the kids cousin who we went to her b-day) taylor and blake at dinner celebrating my sis in laws b-day. A great time was had. Mark and I at dinner.

Our little family with Elmo at Sarah's birthday. It was so much fun!

Blake my little serious guy!

My little princess. I can't believe how big she is getting and beautiful if I do say so myself!! :-)

Well, just a few pics to update this blog. We have 2 other birthdays to celebrate w/our Torrance family this weekend. So busy around here, and Mark with work that it's tough to really do what I want to do or get done. Right now Taylor is visiting nana and papa so it's just Blakester and I. I miss her so much when she is away but I find peace when I hear all the fun stuff she is doing. Well, both kids birthdays are coming up mid Sept and I have no clue what to do. I want to do a Tonka Truck (not the construction ones) but the other ones like they sale at Target dump truck, monster truck, garbage truck, school bus etc theme but when I google it constuction theme tonka trucks come up. So I'm stuck...What do you do for a 1yr old anyways!????? How do I make a cool theme cake anyways too? Do you have to be talented and able to draw??? Cause I would love to make their cakes!! Any ideas? Taylor was to do her b-day at chuckie cheese so that is pretty easy but I still have to do a theme for treat bags, and cake...Man, both b-days are 4 days apart so we are celebrating 2 weekends in a roll...I have no idea where to start or what to do...(okay I'm starting to sound crazy!! LOL)

Also, does anyone know of a place I can buy a cocktail dress or formal gown that would cover my "g's"??? Mark has a Khaki ball coming up, and I have searched and searched and most dresses are sleeveless, spagettii strap...I'm in need of a gown badly and soon!! Any ideas of where to look would be much appreciated...(I did see a strapless gown at davidsbridal and though of wearing a half 3/4 sleeve sweather over it so then I could wear my "g's" but I have no idea where I can find a sweater like that either....dilemas (sp) lol

Well Mark is almost off work and I need to pick up mister Blake's mess and get dinner heated up..I made cabbage cornbeef soup and made it yesterday and so glad I did cause I am in no mood to cook tonight...

Snap shots

He was moving around too much for me to get a clear pic!! (BLOG is below all the pics) He is sooo over me taking pics of him lately, he doesn't want to do it anymore!! lol

My pretty girl!!!

Blake was not having it to take a pic w/sister

Ummm if I pretend she isn't there, maybe she will go away with that stupid camera!!

I thought it would cute to take pics before church today of the kids. Late last night I remembered Blake had NO church clothes at all. He has out grown all his and just has summer clothes. So I ran to Walmart first cause I wanted a GOOD deal cheap you know since he would be out growing it soon! So off to Walmart we go, get there and what do you know NO church stuff, they have TONSSSSSSSSSSSSS of cute girlie stuff but no BOY stuff!!! I didn't even bother to go to my FAV store Target cause I never find church stuff so that wasn't an option. So being disappointed I said "lets go to Khols" Off we go! We get there, and hmmm go figure having the same problem not being able to find anything!!! So before I was going to throw my hands up and say forget it, our boy is going to church "whiskey tango" (a.k.a white trash) I run across a rack of CHAPS. Totally cute stuff, but TOTALLY EXPENSIVE!! Button up collar shirt $24.00 khaki pants $32.00 holy moly are you serious!!! Then I see a sale sign that says 50% off..okay a little sigh but still stressin!!! But I was not wanting blake to go to church "whiskey tango"!!! So I did it!!! So about $30 later we have a ONE SHIRT and ONE pair of PANTS!!! I'm el cheapo!

So okay NO WHISKEY TANGO kids going to church!!! Mister Blakester got a stylin outfit....and DUMB me got 12mos instead of 18mos. He will probably be able to wear it a few times if I'm lucky!!! I'm such a DORK!!! He is 10mos totally thought 12mos would be okay for awhile, but NOPE not for my BIG BOY!!!

Blake 10 months today

My baby is 10 months today! I totally remembered after 9pm when we were walking out of the store. What a bad mom I am. Not that we had or planned a big celebration but I felt bad about remembering soo late in the day. So as soon as we got home I rushed to take pics of him so I can post and also have some so I can put in his memory book. I thought I would share with everyone.


This first pic was the ONLY smile I could get out of him, and I ended up taking 17. He was sooo OVER it all after this one..He looks like his daddy in this pic...I love his smile and he is soo stinkin cute! He is moving everywhere through out our house and doing so much and saying so much..He says mama, dada, nananananana, bah, and is starting to recongize some signs I do for him for drink, more, and all done. I love him soo much and he adds so much to our house!!
This was a I'm totally not into this mom look !

As long as I have my binki I'm okay with anything you want to do mom and sportin OLD SCHOOL RUN DMC shirt...( I might add his mommy LOVES RUNS House on MTV) ha ha ha

As you can see he loves to stand up against EVERYTHING and does not matter what is there he goes for it..in this case his sisters cop truck...boy it's nice having a tomgirl who likes some boy toys, makes buying toys for him a whole lot easier and cheaper when it comes time..lol

This is my little stud muffin!!! Even though at times I want to pull my hair out cause all he wants to do is whine or cry or hold me mommy ALL DAY sometimes...I would NOT trade him for anything. I am very blessed to have this little booger and grateful to have him and be his mommy! He helps with learn patience! Taylor and him are one of my many blessings I'm soo grateful for that I was blessed by my Heavenly Father to have.
