Baseball Season

Well Baseball season is in full swing. Ethan is on the St.Louis Cardinals. We had our opening game on Saturday and let me just say the weather felt like February weather. It was 45 raining, foggy and just straight up nasty. He did so well...got a double then stole home! He is the 1st base man...nice little perk to being a lefty!!

Thanks Craig <3

This one reminds me of my mom:

Busy season is upon us.

Here it is.. April and where did the time go. I can't wait for summer. There is a light at the end of the tunnel of cold and boredum. Our busy season is upon us. This is what I love the most. Ethan's sports start up and we can be outside more. Biking, walking, grilling, beach time, fishing and sitting by the fire pit! YEAH!!

Well Ethan's is in full swing of baseball season. Practices are 3 times a week ... fun! He does so well. He also started Krav maga, which is a "self denfense/marial arts" type thing. Jason goes to the advance class a couple nights a week too.

Jocelyn is ... well she is Jocelyn. She is 2 and thinks she rules the house and in most cases ... she does. She has all 3 of us wrapped around her little finger. Right where she wants us. She is becoming such a big girl already. It saddens me. She is my last baby...I don't want her to grow up so fast. She is in a big girl bed, uses the potty 90% of the time, her voca is growing and she is SO independent! Loves the Princesses and Dora and of course Mickey Mouse.

Jason & myself...well we are alive... Jason is getting ready to take the SWE to advance (cross your fingers) to cheif. Lets hope his studing pays off for him! I know he can do it. He is also "training" to do an Iron Man race with a couple other Coasites. It will be fun! The wives are going to get shirts made to cheer them on! Other then that we are the same old same old. As my daddy says "Same shit different day"

I do miss my family so very much. Think that is why I don't call like I use to. It makes it so much worse for me. This year more then ever. My brother's and sister's are growing up and pulling away from the "needs" of me and I think that is what is getting to me. They come to me about adult issues. Sad but Glad.

Well...I guess I should get back to work. Love you all.

Disney here we come!!

I can't even type it without smiling!! This year has been one of our toughest, with work and vacations. Jason has been so busy and short staffed that taking a vacation or even getting off the island hasn't happened since August.

The other day he said "We need a vacation" I couldn't believe my ears! It started out as an adult vacation, as in cruise. Then we moved to going to Mexico for a week. Then back to a cruise but this time with the kids, but have you priced the Disney Cruise OMG! Then when Jason saw the amount he said "We might as well just go to Disney"

A weekend later, we are booked!! Dawn and Aaron are joining us. It is going to be SO much fun!! November in Florida!! So super siked!!

Maybe I can get my wonderful in laws to meet us up there for dinner or a day in the park with the kids.....

Best weekend ever!

Let me just start off my saying I love my birthday but HATE surprises!! I am not one of those girls who "hate" surprises, I truely hate them!

So let me tell you about my weekend: My cousin, best friend and the sister I always needed came up to visit for the weekend with her family. So that started off my exciting weekend.

Jason had asked me to get off of work on Saturday so that he could take me to dinner since I work a double on my birthday. So we planned on dinner with the four of us.

We go to the resturant and our friend is the manager and she greets us and goes to seat us and walks us around the corner where all my friends are waiting in the wings and yell "surprise"

I was truely surprised! 18 of them. Christy & Brian, Warren & Lauren, Stef & Shane, Stef & Sy, Dawn & Aaron, Hase, Emily, Keisha, Shannon & Blake, Jen & Nadav, Sarah & Jesse and a few extras. We had a sit down dinner. It was so nice. I got some great gifts. Stef & Shane .. OH they made me this shelf with hooks, its beautiful! LOVE IT. Christy & Brian spoiled me with gift cards and lotions and candles (Lily scented, so I have my own Lily) Besides getting presents which they didn't have to get, it was so nice to have all of them together! We went to the Crown afterwards to party it up! LOL!

The next night I had planned to have everyone over for dinner : BBQ themed. Everyone brings a side and let me just say it was SO GOOD!

Then just to spend the rest of the weekend with Dawn, Aaron and the kids was awesome.

THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO CAME AND HELPED! I love you all!!!
