Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

In celebration of St. Patrick's day, our friends had a great party last weekend. Let's just say I happened to have a ton of fun!! The food was yummy, the friends were amazing and as always Rockband was played! Thanks again to all of the people that made it such a fun time! Here are a few photos from the night:




I can't wait for next year!

The high light of my week last week...

was watching this amazing artist...

Jon Bon Jovi! My sis-in-law and I are big fans and couldn't wait for him to come on stage. It was an absolutely amazing concert. It happened to be his 47th birthday that night as well. For being 47, that guy can rock like no other! He performed for two hours. Makes me want to start following him too, but his tickets are a little pricier than David's. Anyways, here are a few more photos from the evening.

Girls Night Out, Round 2

A few weeks ago, we ladies discovered a new club. It's in downtown Sac and it's called the Mix. What a fun club that was. So since it was sooo much fun the first time, we thought we would go back to enjoy it a second time. We like the club because it plays decent music to dance to, the prices aren't too bad for drinks and it's a fun place to people watch! I went on Saturday night and had a blast! I'm just happy I'm a cheap date when it comes to alcohol! hahaha! Enjoy the pics:





My girls are the hottest! Love ya ladies!

Busy start to a new year!

So I ended 2009 in San Diego watching this guy
with this girl

It was a ton of fun. More than anything, I didn't want to leave the gorgeous weather! But I came home anyways, I missed my boys! So after I came home, I got ready to do this



My baby turned three! He had a batman bowling party and he was super excited about it! He opened lots of presents and had a great day! The following day my mister and I went to Marina (near Monterey) to celebrate our anniversary early.


We had a great time doing nothing, just the two of us! It was much needed! And by the end of the week we were doing this with the boys...



We had a blast at the snow and can't wait to return. And after that trip, the boys had to head back to school and Zac and I got back to work here at home. Needless to say the start of this year has been busy for all of us!

Stress and then a little more stress...

It all started last week when my grandpa was complaining of chest pains. His doctor sent him to see a heart specialist. That doctor ran some tests and then wanted to talk to my grandpa later that afternoon. The doctor found plaque around his heart and he was going to schedule him to have it removed on Monday morning. Well Sunday night came around and my grandpa had a "slight" heart attack. My parents called the paramedics and he was taken to the er. On Monday morning, he had his procedure and the doctor found that he had one artery 100% blocked, second one was 95% blocked and the third one was 90% blocked. It was so bad that his blood was re-routing itself. The doctor then scheduled him for open heart surgery on Friday morning. I saw my grandpa twice in the hospital. I just feel so bad for him.

To make things a little more stressful for me, Zac got a fever of 101 on Thursday evening. I took him to Urgent Care and they tested him for flu but it was negative. They gave him some medicine which he threw up as we were trying to give it to him. On Friday night, his fever reached 103, so I took him back to Urgent Care. They didn't retest him but they gave him new meds. Apparently the doctor didn't believe me when I said that he throws up when given meds, so she decided to try it. She was warned. They still don't know what's wrong with him but that his fever goes up and then responds to the tylenol. Luckily, I have been able to put the tylenol in grape juice for him.

My grandpa is still in the ICU and he is still disoriented but all of his vitals are looking good. Hopefully he will be out of the ICU tomorrow.

Out with the old, in with the new

Washer and dryer that is. Last week we got a new washer and dryer after doing some researching and comparing of prices. We had had our old ones for about eight years now and the repairman told me it was gonna cost around $300 to fix my old one. Well that was just what I needed to hear to go and search for a new set. I bought the new set at Sears and got interest free for a year. Also because I bought the wild cherry set, I got the pedestals for free. That was quite the savings right there. The new set arrived on Friday afternoon and I was able to do three loads by the evening. I was hoping to do more but I had to read the instruction manual first! My husband was super excited to use them as well. He did three loads while I was gone this weekend! He of course loves the color as well! With out further ado, here is the before and after...


Now if there was only a way to motivate me to put the clothes away in a timely manner!

Halloween was fun!

This year we carved/decorated our pumpkins the night before Halloween. It was a great family experience. Zeke had a great time with his pumpkin. He carved all of it but the mouth. He asked me to help him with that. Oh and daddy got to help clean out the seeds. Since Zac had such a small pumpkin, he painted his!




On Halloween, we went to a kids party in the afternoon and then they trick or treated at just a few houses before it got too dark. I am happy to say that I am glad my kids don't like to stay out that long. Zeke made a cute Mario and Zac made a cute Yoda.



Neither my husband nor I are really big fans of Halloween but I did enjoy going to the pumpkin patch, carving our pumpkins and seeing the boys in their costumes. Zeke is already trying to figure out what he is gonna be next year!
