California Trip (Friday/Saturday)

Friday after work Petes mom, me, and the kids headed out of town. Pete flew out the next evening since he had to work. The ride wasnt horrible but all 3 kids stayed awake the whole time.. oh, Kadence did fall asleep about 5 min before arriving of course! =)


Kadence thought she was so big and cute wearing these headphones for the movie.


Kadence wanted to give Bailey goodnight kisses> How sweet, tongue and all haha.. thats gunna be a WET one!





Saturday morning the kids had fun playing some basseball with their cousins (Their dad made them a field in the yard with paint and bases)

We ate at the Hat, super yummy pastrami sandwiches.. Pete & I make sure we get it everytime were down. I craved this alot when I was pregnant with Kadence =( And couldnt have.

The kids helped their Nina make 4th of July cupcakes for the party the next day.. and like the bowl clean.




Kadence got more than enough of Kaelyn time =) These two were hih to hip most the weekend.




We went to the cemetary and brought flowers for Papa and Pete Grandparents.











After that it was off to meet baby Jaxon. Of course the kids couldnt go into the nicu, but I got to go meet that sweet boy. Who, were now HAPPY to say... is HOME!! =)





Thankfully their is a park right behind the Hospital so we took the kids the park and let them have lots of fun!! It worked out perfect.. these kids would have been bored waiting!


After that we split, and Wayne, Kaelyn, me and Kadence picked up Pete from the Airport.

Summer Fun!!

Now that Im working we dont seem to enjoy the backyard much during the week, but on the weekend I try to have the kids spends lots of time outside. Matix came to play, and him and Kadence didnt want much to do with the water but they had fun watching the big boys!

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!
