Jp's Angel

Last night the boys and I sat down and was watching a movie, talking and catching up. JP said the cutest thing. First let me rewind about a year ago. We were living with my in-laws while our house was being remodeled. One night JP comes in from being out side and said that he had seen an Ghost Wearing all white. over Grandmas house. Crazy hu! Well I told him that it was an angel. Anyways he didn't change his story Ever! Well Last night We were talking and JP said " Remember when I saw the angel over grandmas house, I must be pretty special because only special people see Angels". The things that kids say. Now I just need to remember to journal them.

The Answer to my prayers!!!!!

If anyone is ready to pull out their hair. Or they are saying that they aren't having anymore kids because they cant handle the ones they have. well I have the book for you. I started reading The Power Of Positive Parenting, It has been the answer to my prayers. I am only on the 3rd chapter and i can already see an improvement in my boys and Myself. Not that they were terrible before, I actually have really great kids. But I have seen an improvement on their behavior, They don't fight as much, not as much crying, and Today Parker was upset with me because I started picking up his toys and He wanted to Pick them up. I am not as stressed and I have my house and my life under control. I don't explode as easily. Once Again I have only read to the 3rd chapter. I haven't even got to the good part. I find myself not yelling as much.I focus more on finding all the positive and not focusing on all the negatives it is really a cool book. Enjoy!!! You will have to tell me what you think if you go pick it up.
P.S. I even think the parents that have really young kids read. I wish I would of known about it when I first had Jp. I would of already of been educated in Positive Parenting. It would of saved me allot of stress.

ONCE AGAIN I HAVE GREAT KIDS. I LOVE THEM VERY MUCH!! I JUST KNOW HOW TO BE A MORE ENJOYABLE PARENT AND FRIEND TO MY KIDS!!!

My Weekend!!!

This weekend was pretty eventful. Cj and I went to go see Bourne Ultimatum (which was a very good movie. I could go see it again. When we got home I Scrapbooked and then watched High school Musical 2, Around Midnight. I was so nervous that it wasn't going to be good. Because Sequels are never good, except a select few. But I wasn't disappointed. It was good, very cheesy, but good. I Love Sharpey!Then Cj headed out of town the next morning.

And Woke up and got the boys to watch high school Musical 2 with me. They liked it. We actually watched the first one right after that. I am so glad My boys liked it, that means I will be able to watch it a little more often.

After we watched some movies. I took some Pictures of Parker. He love to get his picture taken, He has to be in the mood. If he isn't you cant make him. Well as you can see he was in the mood and I got some good pictures. Parker will pose and everything. He is so funny!! I love you!!

Jp and His skateboard.

My little Skateboarder!!!!! today JP comes up to me and says that he wants to practice his skateboarding. So we go out and i watch him skateboard. He actually does pretty good. We don't get to go out often because it is so hot. Today wasn't as bad as most days. The boys love to play outside, we cant wait till it cools down.Then JP can practise his skateboarding all the time. Cj was so proud. "We have a Skateboarder in the Family."

First day of SCHOOL !!!

Jp was so excited to go to school. I woke him up at 7:00 and we got ready. It didn't take very long so we had a little time to sit around. So i told him he could watch some cartoons. He told me that he didn't want to watch cartoons, that he just wanted to go to school. After that i told him that I could make him some breakfast. He didn't want any, and that he would eat when he got home. I think tomorrow I wont wake him up so early. It wasn't really that early, he had gotten himself ready the night before, had his closed picked out and his Backpack ready. Hopefully he is this excited for tomorrow.

We had some time to kill so we went and visited grandma& grandpa that lives a couple of houses down. It was Leslie's first day,so they got pictures together. It was kind of cute because it was Jp's first year to go to school besides preschool and Leslie's Last Year of High school.

Jp Jumped right in and started doing what the teacher had told him to do. They were suppose to build something with the blocks she provided.

What a day!!!

Today was a busy and stressfull day. We didnt really do anything either. My wonderful day started out with the stupid sales people calling me at 8:00 in the morning and waking me up. So I started out in a bad mood. Parker would of slept like an hour more if they didnt call so early. then we went and got jp school supplies. Jp loved that. and we ran a few more errands before Harvey had to take his afternoon nap. While Harve was taking his nap we hung around the house. Nothing special. When he woke up, we were off to the scrapbook store and then to the Grocery Store. We had such a crazy day ,Parker had fallen asleep in the car and when i went to put him in the cart he was still asleep and he kept bobing in his head so Jp let him rest his head on his shoulder. I have such terrificate boys. They are such troopers running around with all day. I love you Guys!!!!

Meet the Teacher!!!

Today Jp Met his teacher. He is so excited to start school. I hope it is always like this. He is going to have so much fun. I cant believe he is going to be in Pre Kindergarten.

Oh ya! I had a border around the first picture to. But for some reason it didnt save. and I am to tired to fix it. Sorry

Parkers 3rd Birthday!!!!

Tonight we celebrated Parkers 3rd Birthday. For family night. His Birthday was on Thursday the 3rd. But I have been out of town at girls camp. So we celebrated it tonight. He had so much fun.


Him and Jp Loved the cupcakes


it was a good moment to get a family picture.

My attempt at a cupcake ice cream cone. That picture turned out pretty good. Know only if i could take good pictures all the time and not by accident.

I love this picture because they all are blowing out the candles

They all look really cute here. I love my boys

Cj always goes over board with the presents. He loves to shop for them. He is like a kid in the candy store. I think he has just as much fun puting and playing with the toys as the boys do.

Parker loves anything that has to do with the "Cars" the movies

Grandma got parker a Betta fish for his Birthday

Aunt Jamie got Parker a red car.
