I'm going to be an Aunt again!!

I'm so excited! I just love doting on my nephews and I am thrilled to say that I have another nephew on the way! Yep...Uncle Gee and Aunt Bee are expecting another little BOY in September. I just can't wait for this new little one to join the family and I am so excited for my brother. Aunt Bee is such a great mother and I know that Snooks will be a wonderful big brother. Since I'm probably bursting her bubble by announcing what she is having....I'll wait to say the name until she says it's ok. Kind of a pointless post, but I just can't contain myself!!

I hope everyone has their lights off for Earth Hour! Let's all do our part to help take care of this beautiful planet that Jesus Christ created for us :)

Easter Baskets

I got home early Sunday morning from California, but the boys had just gotten up so I watched them get their Easter goodies. Ninja thought it was so fun, and we made the mistake of giving him the basket before breakfast. He didn't eat a normal breakfast and just chowed on candy all morning. I have since hidden all the candy and he only gets one small piece a day. Gambit thought it was pretty fun, and boy does he like chocolate! He would grab any piece of chocolate he saw sitting around! We went to Antonio's parent's house for dinner and an easter egg hunt. It was raining so we just had one inside. Ninja LOVED it and was running around the room collecting the eggs. Gambit picked up a few and then just opened them to eat the candy. I forgot to take my camera so I don't have pics of those. I hope everyone had a great Easter!

Girls Weekend in California!

My mom, sister, sister-in-law, and I went to California for a four day girls weekend. We went to a spa, on a safari, and just had so much fun! It was such a blast to relax and not worry about kids or other responsibilities for a few days. I want to make this an annual thing! What do you think girls? The spa was great. I have actually never been to one before and I loved the experience. Here are a few pictures from the trip.

Our giraffe friend on Safari. We saw so many cool animals up close. It makes me want to go to Africa!

My Poor Child

Ninja learned how to push a chair over the counter and climb up. He got up from his nap (or perhaps he never actually took one) and I was sleeping on the bed. I think he wanted a snack and proceeded to help himself in the kitchen. I hear a bonking-crash and he starts whimpering. When I get down there he has blood dripping down his face. Of course I immediately thought that he needed stitches and that I should take him to the ER. After I cleaned him up a bit I realized that the cut was not very big, it was just bleeding a lot. The following pictures were about 20 minutes after he had actually hit his head (He fell of the chair and hit is head on the counter), but it was still bleeding pretty profously. It took a number of shampoo washes to get the dried blood out of his hair. So far, I have successfully avoided any ER visits with my boys. I hope I don't have to go soon!
