Fathers Day!!

Fathers Day we let Daddy sleep in. Then mommy realized I forgot some of breakfast so I loaded up the kids in their Pjs.. and Kadences crazy morning hair ( People were getting a kick out it at the store)and headed to Walgreens at 7am. We got home and made homemade cinnamon rolls and eggs and chorizo! We then woke up daddy and gave him his cards and money (I knew he would want shoes.. which he got that day.. and i cant pick them out, hes expensive and picky when it comes to those). We took him to the Circus and then to the mall. After we headed to my parents to celebrate with my Dad along with the rest of my family!

5 year Anniversary!!

June 20th Pete and I had our 5 yr. Anniversary. I landed on fathers day and Sunday so we went out on Frdiay night to celebrate. We ate at Texas De Brazil here in Town Square. Weve heard it was amazing but knew it was pricey so waited for a special occasion. Let me tell you.. It was Amazing!! Super yummy!! This place has a small salad buffet but the best part is the meat.. and never ending meat. You have a card you flip from red to green when you want meat. There are men walking around with huge skewers of differnt kinds of delicious meat. They stop and tell you what it is and ask if youd like some and then slice you off as much as you want. It was delicious and we left super stuffed. We decided to walk the strip and watch some of the shows and then quickly changed our minds after the Belagio water show.. Friday night on the strip.. no thanks!!

I cant believe 5 years have past and how much has happened between that 5 yrs. I love being married to Pete and cant wait for the next 5 years.

Trampoline!!

I knew once we got a house it wouldnt be long untill I insisted on a Tramp. Yes.. Insisted. I ALWAYS had a trampoline growing up.. Although cemented in the ground, which I would perfer but dont want to fork out the money for right now. Anyways.. I love trampolines. A one year old can walk around on it and a teenager can have sleepovers on. It one of the things you dont REALLY outgrow. So I wanted one.. Plus it not that big and creates endless hours of fun and energy burning =)

Pete hates that once I decide I want something its not in a week... its let do it now. Soo we did, and he and Jaiden headed off that night to fix a friends a/c.. I of course wasnt about to sit at home and stare at the dang box. Im a Sanders Girl.. We were raised to do it on our own.. So thats what I did. Rylan was a big helper and I really did need his help. The two f us alone got it all together execpt for all the springs.. You definately need mans muscles to do that.. or Two>> Thanks to Jordan who helped!! The kids have been thoroughly enjoying it!

Tornado Maker!!

We were at the Galleria Mall and a group of teenagers were huddled around this thing. After they left we checked it out. for $2 I can seriously entertain my family for 1 minute. Ok the kids get in here and it makes artifical Wind.. And LOTS of it. The kids were literally CRACKING UP laughing having so much fun, and me and Pete at them. Looks at those faces.. So worth $2 =)

Lemon Face!!

Kadence and Rylan both like to eat striaght lemons... Sour face and All =) And I like to watch them!!

Drama over the Bottle!

First of both my boys we cold turkeyed from bottle to sippy cups. Jaiden same with his binki. But this girl has me wrapped around her finger I guess. I was really struggling with that. Partially because when I sen her to school I didnt want her to be a pain in the but. At one is when I switch. Shes almost 2 months over, so I guess its not horrible. She now does cuppies all except for naps/bedtime. Herers her drama over her getting a sippy cup and not a bottle.


Yes.. Im a mean mom who takes pictures of my crying child.. there super cute sometimes.. and if there not in pain.. what the heck!!


Notice the different sippy cups laying next the her for her to choose from.







YAY!! mom gave in and gave me my bottle!!! =)

Jaxon Richard Bell

Were excited to welcome the newest addition to the family!!!

Meet Jaxon Richard Bell (Petes Sisters Son) He came 6 weeks early (4 lbs. 4 0z.. Itty Bitty) and has a few complications but is doing well. Were thrilled to have him as a nephew and we cant wait to meet and hold him. I cant believe how in love with him I am just by seeing pictures!! Cant wait to hold you Jaxon!! My boys are super excited and talk about him lots already!!

This is from the day he was born


heres him yesterday morning..Doesnt he look soo much better already!! =) I loved getting this picture.

The Heat Has HIt!!

So last night I have my first get together at our new place. 2 hours before the party starts.. our A/c downstairs goes out. Nice. Plus 2 girls coming are in there last months of pregnancy. Soo Pete and some friends came to the rescue and got it working for a while. We have to repalce teh compressor (Most expensive part of unit) and A fan motor. THANKFULLy, the units still under warranty and my husbands labor is free. I know my dad can get us stuff at cost... but again its the most expensive stuff so were glad its under warranty. The party turned out great and no one was sweating to death as I was worried about.


As for Pete and I .. work will be super busy for the next 3 months.. and then slow on down after that... These 3 months are the money making ones and time to save for the Winter so heres to LONG hours for Pete and Busy... time flys by days for me in the office.

Of course to Swimming, slip n slides, water balloon fights for the kiddos!!


Gotta love SUMMER!!

Miniture Golf

We were suppose to go to California this past weekend and it didnt happen. My kids were super bummed and upset they werent going to see there cousins after all. Soo we felt bad and took them miniture golfing... it definately helped keep there minds off were they were suppose to be =) They had a ton of fun and we were the only ones on the course (Just like i like it). Jaiden even got a hole in ONE!! See his stick in hte air.. thats me catching him in his victory dance =) Gotta love my sweet babies! Kadence had fun watching her silly brothers too and didnt even make a peep>> shocking!

Lovin!

Our House

Ok.. Im posting pictures for family that doesnt live here to see. Dont be too harsh =) We just moved in a week and a half ago and I know theres still lots to do and furnish.. but you get a feel for the place. We are loving this space!




Our neighborhood> No one across the street.

View from front door





Downstairs bath, also bathroom for 5th and only downstairs bedroom

Right now this is our spare/ need to unpack room =) Its stuff we dont use on a daily basis that I obviously need to find spots for.



"Petes" loft. I say this because its the only room hes wanted any say so in. Plus > note the creepo picture with the scull on the wall =) He bought it like 2 years ago and I refused to hang it in my family room or bedroom so I told him one day when we have a loft itll go there. Were getting a red sectional couch delivered tuesday.. and of course it wouldnt be complete without the boys soccer plaques and trophies on the wall (Again.. were still moving in, and I now work full time)

Kids Bathroom




Notice all the rest of the rooms were ALREADY painted either this bold or for now it works with the stuff I already had.


I havent done ANYTHING with Kadence room that I have planned and some bought for but her room was already going to be pink and brown before I even saw this room!! How sweet is that.
Our room has absolutely no furniture except to bed. We had 2 about a year ago.. One turned into Kadence when she was born and the other is super super heavy and would not have made it up stairs. Well get a bedroom set eventuelly. For now our closet is big enough to hold it so its not laying all around.

Lake Mead

(Ok so my computers being ridiculous and wont upload.. so this is all the pictures for now =( )
A few weekends ago we headed out to Lake Mead. Of course Pete had to work so he was bummed he missed out and we missed him to. The kids had lots of fun playing with there cousins though. The boys love their older cousins and Kadence loves playing with Matix in the dirt. Out on the boat the water was still pretty cold but Rylan went out on the tube and had a blast. He was soo adorable and wanted to go alone and not have anyone ride along. I tried and tried to get Jaiden to go either by himself or with me or a cousin. He was not having it. He told me he wanted to wait for dad, I asked him why. He told me dad has strong arms and can hold me tight if I start to fall off =) Cute! So hopefully next time he'll get on out there. I cant have whimpy kids! Lol. But seriously. Soo then I took a turn but told them to go fast enough to have fun but dont flip me>> it was COLD, My dangling legs felt like ice when I got out. We had alot of fun and cant wait to go back out with daddy.

Back to work!

I am officially working full time again. I love to be at home with my babies but at the same time I really do enjoy working. I get adult time and a reason to get up and moving in the morning. I have MUCH more patients when Im at home with my kids and I appreicate the time I have with them more. I REALLY like the daycare they are at and its right on the way to/from work. I leave the house the same time as Pete so he gets to help us out the door. Im working in the office at Cal Air (my parents a/c company) again.

Rylan is 4

Rylan turned 4 one May 9th. Whoa!! We went to BJS Pizza for Dinner and to the Iron Man Movie. He fell asleep and then the next day was mad that we left before it finished, even though we did stay =) Rylan is our Family CLown and will DEFINATELY be the class clown too. This boy is too fun to be around. He make jokes,, says funny stuff. Acts funny. We love it. Rylan is such a good boy. Jaiden and him get wild together and fight or wrestle but he is amazing. He tries getting out of work already. He going to start T-ball next and is super excited. Rylans favorite food is mac n cheese and thats all hell eat for the most part when we go out. He loves any kind of juice. He loves to color right now and working on writing him name.
We love you our little funny man!

Kadence had been ONe!!

Im a horrible blogger lately!! Kadence turned 1 on May 5th. Shes our Cinco De Mayo baby. I cant believe its gone soo fast and how much we LOVE this little one. Some facts about her:

** Kadence is Drama. (She is by far my hardest baby,she was easy as a little one but now were seeing her girl drama. and im not exagerating. She throws fits and wants her way. She shoves her hand in your face if you get to close or she doesnt liek what your feeding her. She cries untill you give her what she wants.. I know ALL babies do this but this is a a daily basis thing for her, and with additude. Its stinking cute for the most part but plain mean other times =)

** Kadence is a mamas girl
** Kadence Loves her doggie and still has no problem if her jumps up and still her food off her high chair.. she even drops it down to feed him =(
** She likes to sleep in but now that im working she doesnt get to
She still mostly scoots on her but but now is starting to crawl and just the past few days is standing some on her own for a few seconds at a time
** She LOVES phones and putting them to her ear and saying **HI** its plain and clear and has been since she was like 5 months old
** Shes says hi ALOT and mama dadda and babba mostly
**She LOVES the water, but only since Hawaii, and She LOVES it.
** She had a spurt a few months back were she would cry majority or the car ride however long.. thank goodness thats starting to fade.
