It's Birthday Time...

If you know me well you know I like love my birthday. So, the thought of being laid up on my back with the Flu and Bronchitis on my birthday would be pretty bad awful for me and that is exactly what happened this year. Let me back up a week and explain. We went to Flagstaff with J-crew on Memorial Day and had an amazing time, but unfortunately four days in a cabin with three families and to many kids left my family with too many GERMs...... When we got home from Flagstaff my poor family started dropping like flies. It started with Mike, then me, and finally made its way to Jayden. So, on my most favorite day I was sick in bed. My birthday and birthday weekend was filled with temperature, coughing, aches, and the full on flu. After a week of all of us being sick, I was finally able to celebrate with my girlie's.

I am so lucky to have such great friends in my life. I count on my girlfriends a lot and I know that they are always there for me. It is so wonderful to be able to share good times together. We all are busy but it was so wonderful to put the "mommy hat" on the shelf and go out and have a good time. It wouldn't be a celebration without some Sushi and Saki, so that is exactly what we did.

Hello 38.........



Memorial Day / Flagstaff 2012

This year we planned a J-crew weekend in Flagstaff for Memorial Day. Half of the group stayed at Michelle's parents cabin and the rest stayed at J9's parents. We arrived on Friday and stayed until Monday afternoon. It was so nice to be away and enjoy some cooler weather now that the summer temps have arrived in Phoenix. The kidds absolutely loved being at the cabin and enjoyed all the amenities. the backyard was filled with fun kids stuff. There was a tire swing, horseshoes, as well as Wii in the house. We cooked, watched movies, went on walks and enjoyed some great family time with our friends. We can't wait to escape to the cabin again.... 

Jordy Pre-K Graduation

Can my Jordy be graduating from Pre-K??? Yes, he is and this Mommy is sad. Jordy will be turning five in just a few short weeks and will also be starting Kindergarten in just a couple of months. It seems like just yesterday that we came home from the hospital. This past year Jordy has grown up so much. He loves music, playing with his guitars and still loves his Wiggles. Jordy has learned his number this year and is also writing all of his letters.

We were able to get a big smile out of him before graduation, but he would have nothing to do with going on stage with his friends. At home he is center stage all the time and my little performer, but at school he is much more reserved. Congrats Jordy..... We are so proud of you....

Mother's Day 2012

I had such a nice Mother's Day this year. We went with Lisa and had brunch at a great Mexican restaurant in Cave Creek. The restaurant had this riparian in the middle of it and J & J thought it was the coolest thing. The food was yummy and the company was the best.... I'm SO lucky...
