a bucket list challenge

We used the making memories vintage line. I used up one kit and equally divided it in 4 and challenged friends to make a page using all items. 4 perspectives, 4 creators, 4 points of view, 4 visions... with 4 different styles. And a list of dreams and goals that will follow each one of us until we hit the bucket!

they are back

the kids are back and life is how we like it. the constant hugs and kisses, the racket of jadeline playing with her toys, the chatter of xbox live, the 'momma's and daddy!'.. i wouldn't want it any different.!!!

I heart this vacation!

I'm not suppose to be loving it this much right? NO kids, no obligations, no momma duties.. just playing and crafting! I really didn't realize how much there is to do! .. But deep down, i miss my children.. I miss the responsibilities. I can't imagine my life not being a momma (what Jade calls me), a mom (what Ashton calls me), or a mommy (what Troy calls me). Yet this break was what Bobby and I needed. For almost a month, we continued to make each other laugh, we talked a whole lot about life in general, and we still learned about our dreams and hopes.

On vacation....Celebrating my 8th anniversary @ Disney.

when the all the kids are away...

its time for a little play.. okay so we may be over doing it, and a bit excited. But in 10 days and in between working we:

.. had voodoo doughnuts! Yum!

..celebrated July 4th!

.. had a quick road trip to Astoria.

(i love this picture of my honey!)

..had softball practice. (that is- Bobby did and i watched).

..celebrated Brandon's birthday at Coyote's. We had the chance to test Rock Star drinks with the owner. And I learned how to play shuffle board! That was fun!!

.. and i got to watch American Idol with Cyn! 

And between all that, we made it to working out at the gym. (sigh. i am forced to take a break since i've injured my back muscle again!!!)  And found the time to watch the movie, "the Hangover". 

Wait to you see the rest of our adventures! For now, its time to get back to work for 4 nights!

the Hang OVER

We had date night and watched the Hang Over. It was hilarious!!

Note: it's not for kids under 18years old

another haircut... not mines.

When Jadeline said she wanted a haircut, she meant it. Not a think twice, I want a haircut or a 'should i cut my hair?' thought. It was a day of "please cut my hair already, i want it short!" Well, her ballet recital was a month ago and it had to be put in a bun - so i suggested we wait. Ballet recital was over, and when i thought she would forget about cutting her hair,.. was another reminder of, "when are we cutting my hair?" So i thought, if you can remember this, then you really want you haircut! The photo on the left was Jadeline having breakfast at Starbucks. By 2pm, I drove to the nearest beauty shop and asked the girl, "can you give her 'bob' but with a little a-line?!" .. the hairdresser cut away, and gave Jadeline this adorable haircut. She cut off 10 inches. We didn't donate it because I thought we donated her hair twice.. this time, this was all about Jadeline wanting  a haircut. Its amazing how adorable she looks. Its amazing how much older she looks. Its amazing to see that she really isn't my baby anymore. Its amazing how she isn't attached to her hair like i am... Now i want my haircut. And anyhow, it grows back right? *photos taken with my iphone*
