Thanksgiving at Nanas

 
 
 
 
We had such a great time at Jayson's moms house for Thanksgiving. We got to spend time with her new Husband's family. They were very entertaining! The twins sat at a table on their own without a highchair, and we all ate a ton. A dogpile of Scarborough's snowballed into the hallway which made Chico very upset. He didnt get it.. It was a blast. The hotel that night though, not so much fun. Seven of us in one room! Remind me to always pack the playcrib.

Jalama beach

 
 
 
 
The morning after Thankgiving we took the kids to Jalama beach, near PtHueneme. (i spelled that wrong) It was the babies first trip to the beach.. It was windy and cold, but the kids didnt care!

Chico, Jenna and I took a trip to Walgreens and threw all little Lions in the cart. Chico loved them all! In the meantime, sissy was in the basket, taking all the candy off the shelves. She had a whole box of Reses peanut butter cups in the cart! Woops! Mommy was busy taking pictures and didnt even notice what she was doing back there!

What a week!

It's just been one of those weeks where everything is hard! My neighbor across the street brought as dinner tonight, as she does every week! It is such a blessing! Chicken Casserole, salad, and garlic bread! yummmmmm! Too bad I'm not carb-loading! Auntie Valarie took the twins for the night, such a treat! I shouldn't have gone back for seconds because now I'm sitting here feeling yucky and stuffed! Im thankful for my husband that loves me and realizing how lucky I am during these crazy economic times! We have some presents under the tree and I ate too much! I really shouldn't be complaining. We are anxiously awaiting Jayson to walk in the door, okay maybe just I am. I'm exhausted from a trying week, and it's only Wednesday. I'm taking the girls to Awana and blogging in the midst of chaos. It's actually not too bad. Thanks Auntie!

Awesome weekend!

The girls and I went swimming at the gym Saturday Morning. I think they like getting their own locker and showering there more than they like swimming. We came home and did a few chores before they left for cousin Nicky's birthday party, and I went to my friend Kristy's baby shower. We came home and got dressed up to go watch Samantha, one of our babysitters sing at her church. The girls looked adorable, and they were sooooooooo excited to see Sam! Jayda and Julia had a hard time sitting still. I saw a few friends from high school, and the music director, Mrs. Woods, was actually my music director from Elementary School. She looked exactly the same as she did back then. My Grandma went with us and we stopped by mom and dad's for a quick round of bowling before coming home. We put the kids to bed, and Jayson and I got to catch up cuz ha had been gone in Modesto for 4 days. It was a great day.
Today we picked up the babies at Auntie Valarie's and Uncle Mark's house, then headed to the bike shop to buy some tubes for Jenna's bike that she bought this year with her own money. They knew her when we walked in. The owner was impressed with her so much for buying her own bike he gave her discount.. Now we are forever faithful to Rubber Soul Bike Shop! Their customer service is amazing. Jayson made us breakfast burritos, then i took Jenna to another birthday party at her friend, Allison's house. Julia went to Leslee's to play and Jayda wanted to hang out with Papa. We laughing at Napoleon Dynamite and Im getting ready for Desperate Housewives.. Gotta get the rest of the kids to bed! Good night!

I should be sleeping

What the hek am i doing up at 1:30 in the morning! The girls and I went to see Madagascar tonight and consumed some major calories at Johnny Rockets. We hit up Target for some birthday gifts at 9 oclock at night. Cousin Nicky's bday is tomorrow and Jenna is going to another one on Sunday for her friend Allison. I had a great night hanging out with the girls. We still had to feed pigs before calling it a night. They were all dead tired when we got home and fell asleep in their clothes!

Since my last entry I finished my first Marathon!! I had a blast training with my friends and i was soooooo happy to share my experience with my family and friends that came out to cheer me on! I saw my dad and the big girls at mile 12 and gave everyone kisses. i almost forgot Julia, but ran back to give her one too.. mile 13 to 20 was extremely windy and our pace dropped, but we didnt stop... We had trained up to 20 miles, but let me tell you that last 6.2 was HARD!!! Everything in me said stop, just stop running, stop running now!! But we kept running because we wanted the pain to be over with! At about mile 16, my friend Kasey picked out a girl that we had decided to beat, we passed her significantly but somehow she managed to catch us at mile 25. Feeling dead already, we pushed it with all we had to the finish line, where i saw Valarie, Jayson and the babies, my mom, grandma, aunt martha, my dad and my other 3 girls waiting for me! It was a wonderful experience, and i cant wait to do it again.. something about running,hanging out with girlfriends, and feeling strong! I love it!
