Is It Warm Yet?

I thought I was the only one in my house getting sick of the kids being stuck inside all day. I guess I was wrong. Yesterday Jaimin didn't have school and Jones did so Jaimin got a little bored. I guess he is sick of playing with the usual toys. This is what we walked into yesterday. Jaimin had made a bed for the cat, his friend that he made and named Elana, and himself and then made popcorn for them all to share. He actually had conversations with his bristle block friend and made us talk to it. It was pretty cute! Here he is earlier making beds outside in the freezing cold. He actually tried to go out in his flip flops and no shirt but we made him put a coat and shoes and socks on. As you can tell the coat and shoes came off pretty quick. He also laid out towels on the patio. I think he was wanting to get the pool out.

Hopefully he will have his backyard back soon and I will have my clean house back.

Alright people I need your help. My family is trying to plan a trip to Disneyland and would like to find as many deals as possible. We are planning on sometime in May. So please tell if you know of any ideas. Thanks!

This new years day we took all the grandkids sledding. They had so much fun, Jaimin actually got out of the car this time. He was fearless, even after Him and Lydia had a run in with some trees. Here is Jones getting Mark back for white washing him.

Here is Jaimin trying out Jones' new snowboard. Both of them were a lot better than I expected.

Jaimin riding with his cousin Haley.

Hopefully we will be able to make it out again before the snow melts.

Here are a few pictures from Christmas night at my parents house. Jones and Jaimin both got Hulk masks and gloves. They loved them, every time they hit each other the gloves make noises. They ended up having a small boxing match. It was pretty funny. Here is Jaimin on his way down, he would pretend that he was dying and would slowly fall to the ground anytime Jones would hit him.

Here they are eating their cookies and getting excited to open presents.

Merry Christmas!

Tis The Season

Well as you can tell my boys are very excited for the Christmas Season. All day long they are singing Christmas songs and talking about Santa, it is so much more fun now that the boys are older and getting more into it. Christmas just doesn't come fast enough for them. This year hasn't quite been the same for us for both good and bad reasons. Mark has started a new position, so hopefully I will get to see him more which is good. In the past few years we hardly got to see Mark during the holidays due to him working in retail ( their busiest time of the year). So Mark will get to enjoy Christmas a whole lot more this year. Me on the other hand is a different story. Once again I have Mono (yes that will be the second time in the past 8 months) and my Pancreas has decided to flair up again. It has made it really hard for me to get into the spirit. Getting out Christmas decorations alone wore me out. I am hoping that since Mark will be home more I will be able to rest more and get over this quickly. The good news is I have almost all of my shopping done except for my neighbors and everything is wrapped. So hopefully it will be stress free from here on out, cross my fingers. Here is Jones wearing the Santa hat and some stockings. He thought he was pretty funny.

Here are the boys playing in the backyard in the little snow that we have gotten this year. This is actually the first year Jaimin was willing to put boots and snow pants on.

I am selling this toddler bed for $30.00 if anyone is interested.

Double Darth Trouble

So this year for Halloween both my boys decided to be Darth Vader. I was pretty surpised, I knew that Jones wanted to be that but was sure Jaimin would want to be a transformer. But as soon he saw what Jones was going to be he knew right away what he wanted to be and there was no changing his mind.

Here is a picture of the boys with their cousins right before we went trick or treating. Every year for Halloween we go to my parents house for dinner and then around my parents neighborhood for treats. The kids seemed to have more fun this year, I am assuming it is because they are all a bit older and the little ones actually wanted to keep up with the big ones. The funny thing was the more we trick or treated the more Jaimin's costume would come off. He has a tendency to get hot really quick and all the running from door to door made him hot very quick. Every few houses he would take something off and throw it to us as he was running by. It was pretty funny!

My Little T.V. Stars

Well we made it. I dragged the boys out of bed at 5:30 so we could go down to the Dinosaur Park and let the boys be on Channel 2 News. They had a lot of fun, other than having to get up way too early. They even got to invite some of their best friends to be on t.v. with them. Here is Jaimin and Casey Scott. Jaimin thought he was pretty cool holding the mic.

They were on a few different segments. Here is a picture of them on one of their last ones. As you can tell Jones is a little camera shy. Jaimin on the other hand is completely opposite he just goes with the flow and is happy to do it. Anyway they thought they were pretty cool.

Hey if anyone is awake around 6am tomorrow watch channel 2 news. My boys will be on between 6 and 8. I believe the first time will be at 6:15.
