9 More Days!

Single digits left until I see my babies. I cannot wait. It gets harder and harder talking to them only on the phone. I need hugs and kisses like you wouldn't believe. I know they are having a blast. They only tell me every 5 minutes LOL but I miss and need them. The part I'm not looking forward to is the packing I have to do for the three of us. :( Oh well at least before I know it I'll be back with them.

Happy Father's Day

A little girl needs Daddy
For many, many things:
Like holding her high off the ground
Where the sunlight sings!
Like being the deep music
That tells her all is right
When she awakens frantic with The terrors of the night.

Like being the great mountain
That rises in her heart
And shows her how she might get home
When all else falls apart.

Like giving her the love
That is her sea and air, So diving deep or soaring high
She'll always find him there.







My Daddy is a mountain
My Daddy is a sea
My Daddy smiles again and again
I love my Daddy And I know he loves me
'cause my Daddy is a ray of lite
that warms a winters' eve
My daddy is very special to me
I could not live without my daddy
as he could not live without me.









Happy Father's Day Paul. You're an amazing father and the kids are lucky to have you. I hope the three of you continue to build upon the bond y'all have. I love you.

:(

Bummed. Miss my kids. Bummed. That's all I can say at this point. Nothing worse than feeling obligated to go to a birthday party. I get there and see all the play group kids and just instantly want to walk out. Why? Because I miss my kids. I love all the kids and even though I had my usuals attached to my hip I just couldn't enjoy myself. Was it good seeing the girls? Sure. I mean of course it was. But I just wasn't feeling it. Pump it Up was definitely depressing this time. :( I just keep counting the days until I get to be with them and call them all day LOL It helps a little....

NEW!!!

Brand spanking new that is. Our new car that is. Paul and I went looking at cars today and purchased our first new car. Brand spanking shining and new. I LOVE it! I cannot wait for the kids to see their new ride. I know they are going to love their new space. We went with the Mazda 5. It's technically considered their version of a cross over/mini van. Smaller than a full size van and doesn't have the classic mini van feel. It's a 6 seater, liquid silver, black interior with all the goodies. I am so excited! It was quite a day. I think we got to the dealer at 3 and we didn't leave until 9. After we drove our new car, had a free dinner and then went home. EXHAUSTING. The whole car buying situation stresses me out like you wouldn't believe. Paul loves the game and was quite impressive with getting the best deal for the family. I'm off to bed. I'm beat!

Been A While

Oh man. I didn't realize how far behind I let the blog get. Wow. Where to start. It's been a whirl wind since I last posted. We made a two week trip to Texas,came back to AZ, went to Vegas for a little over a week, and are now back in AZ. Well, Paul and I anyways. The kids are still in Texas, but not for too much longer though. I leave on the first of July to go back to Texas where I will be gone with the kids for ten months. Yes you read right TEN months. Paul's getting deployed and with Kailee starting school we made the decision to let her go to Florida and complete the full school season there. Needless to say I have a lot to do in a short amount of time. I HATE packing and I have three people and two seasons to pack for. :( Other than that it's been very uneventful with the kids gone. I don't have pics to update because for a month now I've had the worse luck with cameras. More updates to come...

Happy Mothers Day

God made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He molded her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me.

Today is Mothers Day and I am spending it the way I want. Just me and my babies. I would have loved for Paul to be off but since he isn't the kids and I will have our special day just us three. So far we've woke up, had some breakfast, and made some cards. Kailee is the sweetest girl in the world. While I was washing the dishes she said "Momma why are you washing the dishes? It's Mothers Day and you're supposed to relax and do nothing. It's your day." I swear she sounded like a ten year old. So I asked her where did you hear that from? She then says on Sid the Science kid. Well okay then. It was still super sweet. We don't have any real plans for the day. I'm thinking of a pic nic with them at the park and just enjoying our time together.
Thank you God for allowing me the best gift in the world by giving me my two beautiful kids. I couldn't ask for better kids are be more blessed with them.

To my mom: You are the strongest, most beautiful woman I know. You are the best mother. Thank you for being you and always being there. I could never thank you enough or show enough appreciation for you. You are my best friend, the person I admire and look up to the most. I hope to be as good of as a mom as you are. I love you.

To my mother in laws: You guys are the best. Thank you for being there for the kids and I and doing all you do for me and the kids. You ladies are fantastic. I appreciate your advice and wisdom and for being there for me when my mom couldn't be. I love you two and couldn't have asked for better mother in laws.The kids and I are truly blessed to have you two in our lives.

Where Have we Been?

Well... We have been joying some much needed time with Paul's mom. Grandma Bashist came in on Wed and it's been non stop every since. We made tacos the first night she was here and by we I mean her. After all they are her famous tacos and a favorite of Paul's. The next morning Kailee, grandma, and I got to go get pedicures and lunch just us girls as or early Mothers Day gifts. Paul's treat and what a wonderful treat it was. Kailee actually got a pedicure not just her nails painted. She got the message and all the works. I think we are in trouble now. She ate it up. Lunch at Applebees followed and what a great lunch it was. :) After lunch we met up and headed to her hotel so the kids could go swimming. It was an awesome pool and the kids loved swimming. After swimming we let the kids blow some bubbles and just enjoyed the cool weather and talked.
Wednesday we went out shopping just her me and the kids. They got spoiled rotten. Before shopping we all helped make dinner to take to the station later. After shopping the kids got to go swimming again. Then it was time to head to the station and have dinner with Paul. She said her good byes shortly after getting back to the house. :( The kids already miss her. I miss her too. It was nice having her around to talk to. Wish we got to enjoy that more often.

Movies With Dad

Paul took the kids to see How to Train Your Dragon in 3D today. Both of them LOVED the movie. It was all Kailee could talk about the entire night. She officially has her favorite dragons now. They also went to a car show and got to play in a bounce castle. Then when they came home they helped Paul wash his car. They LOVED spending all that alone time with their dad.
