We're so excited about the fast approaching due date for baby Rose. Just today we were in the car together and daddy was talking about how soon it will actually be that baby will be here with us. Dustin says "maybe the baby will be 2 weeks early and be here on February 15th." Whoa! That means that he could be here in my arms in like 26 days! That's pretty exciting! I can't wait to welcome this

I'm pretty sensitive to strong fragrances therefore I have to use a lot of fragrance free products including laundry soap. Because of my overly sensitive nose I've always used All Free and Clear simply due to the fact that it's odor-less. When I find a product that doesn't give me a headache I use it even if it's not the greatest. I was given the opportunity to try Tide Coldwater laundry soap

I love Christmas time! Now that our boys are getting older and more aware of all the decorations and show tons of excitement it makes the Christmas season all the more exciting for me! Opening up our boxes of decorations was like an early Christmas present for us all.  I love all the baking going on in our house. I love the lights glowing in the evenings. I love the Christmas music. I love the

The boys and I have so much fun baking together. Alex loves to measure the ingredients (with a lot of help from me of course), he's actually getting pretty good at reading a measuring cup! In preparation of Thanksgiving we made these adorable cookies! They turned out delicious!!

Wow, I can hardly believe it but today Alex, you turn 5! You're such a character here in this picture you're wearing my glasses! We have so much fun with you and your generous, loving, caring heart. You're an amazing big brother and are always willing to help, taking the initiative to just jump in when you know someone needs help. I love that you still ask me to tuck you in at night going

Some of the things on my "wish list"... ...I had a conversation with my sister the other day about what Alex wants for his birthday party. He really has more toys than he knows what to do with so the first thing that came to my mind when she asked were the things that he needs rather than wants. I told her that Alex has one pair of pants that fits, only one sweatshirt, and a handful of long

Dustin and the boys have been visiting Lowes quite frequently over the last few months. So often in fact that one of the employees have come to love Alex and Isaac. She is so great to them, she saves each of them a kit from the program they run on Saturdays young kids. This particular project she handed us as we walked in was a mini locker! We headed outside and began our construction

Ever since I was little it has been my desire to have children. Since a very early age I loved babysitting and being around kids. I remember praying for my future husband and kids. I would dream of the day I would be married and have little ones running around and hearing them call me mommy.  For some reason I always envisioned my children being sons and daughters. Maybe it was because my best

Entertainment and Education! As I'm talking to Isaac before bedtime he was banging two of his Hot Wheel cars together making a disturbing clanking sound. I asked him to please stop otherwise I would take them from him, his reply "If you do that Jesus will be sad and God will punish you." What a statement! Knowing that I will soon have three sons makes me feel very blessed, I can't wait to pick

Yesterday was a very special day for us! I had my 20 week ultrasound. We know the gender! Dustin and the boys were with me for the first half and then my mom, and two of my sisters joined us! About two minutes after watching the baby move around on the screen, Isaac declared that he saw lots of fishies on there! I couldn't help but laugh, so funny! Some of the things kids say makes me

With September upon us school is back in full swing! School schedules are all new to me with this being Alex's first year, starting kindergarten. Dustin and I are so excited to start this new phase in our parenting! Watching the enthusiasim of a 4 year old learn his letter sounds and count to 100 is priceless!   I'm so saddened to see so many of our schools cutting back due to the economy,

Happy 3rd birthday little monkey! Isaac, you are the laughter, joy and happiness that fills our home! We are blessed, I praise God for you! You love to hang out with your brother Alex. You love to put together puzzles, climb trees, play in the dirt, go exploring and collect bugs, spiders and anything that makes me squirm! You're eager to learn, you can recognize your ABC's and 123's,

I'm 15 weeks pregnant, we're gonna' have a baby!! (Picture downloaded from Similac.com) Over the last several weeks my body has gone through so many changes. I've been tired. Fatigued. Hungry (All. The. Time.). 8 pounds of rapid weight gain. Headaches. I've had a few days of morning sickness. But you know what? These are all symptoms that are totally worth going through in order to have a

I couldn't help being super proud of Alex the other day. I was in the kitchen and my eyes instantly glued to him as he spilled his bowl full of nuts all over the carpet in the family room as he was walking to the couch. He was completely unaware that I was watching him. After seeing them piled on the floor he bent down to pick up what he could. He then went to the closet and pulled out the

Alex loves playing with his monster trucks! Way back in January Dustin took him to the Monster Jam show at Arco Arena, they both had a blast. Alex frequently asks if Monster Jam is playing, we let him know they will be back in January, well, now he just asks when January is! He has fun setting up his own Monster Jam show right here at home! I love that little kids have such creative

The boys, Dustin and I stopped for lunch at Round Table Pizza in El Dorado Hills and both Alex and Isaac flipped for joy when they saw the "Family Fun Games" table! The table was well stocked with coloring pages, games, puzzles and other activities. Can you imagine the excitement? Playing games with mommy and daddy while eating lunch out, what a treat!

For Mother's day this year the boys brought me to Wacky Tacky in Roseville. Dustin's mom and grandma met us there and we all had a blast watching the boys play all over the giant indoor playground while we visited and relaxed at the picnic tables.

Dustin and I have been searching for a bike for Isaac for a few months, it's much more challenging than we thought. Isaac has the skill for pedaling a tricycle, but because he's so short alot of the bikes are too big making it difficult for him to reach the pedals. Many of the bikes that are made for his size are the the ride on scooters with no pedals at all, he really enjoys riding these but

My niece Julia just celebrated her 9th birthday. She had an all girl slumber party and I was able to join in on all the fun. Christine, Andrea and I were surrounded by a bunch of giggly young ladies and we could barley keep up with their energy, laughter and squealing! We had lots of yummy junk food, played games, gave the girls manicures, and played with makeup, what more could you ask for for

There is nothing worse than getting a cold sore just before a party! That's what just happened to me. Not only are cold sores extremely painful but I'm so self conscious and unfortunately there truly is no way to cover up one of these ugly blisters. What causes Cold Sores? Cold Sores are caused by a virus and are not completely warded off by our body's own defense system. For this reason they

I'm so grateful Dustin was able to fix the oven. A dramatic evening of making dinner ended just fine! I think Alex has finally outgrown his shyness. Shopping today at Ross he waved and said hi to almost every person who passed by us in the aisles. Printable coupons. This time I saved 44% on my groceries last night at Raley's! Most afternoons I wish that Alex would still nap, however I'm grateful

The timer beeps warning me to take our dinner out of the oven. I rush to take out the potatoes so they don't over cook. I pull the oven door open and half the door falls to the floor! This is not good at all! Thank the Lord the glass didn't fall out of the door, but still a disaster! I hope this can be fixed...

Couponing. Use coupons! Yes, that's right, clipping coupons and finding the best deals are one of the biggest money saving tips I can give you. I've always been a frugal shopper, always looking for the best deal.

Alex and I went away on our first little getaway together. He was so excited to be going away with just mommy! We were both stoked as we headed up to South Lake Tahoe to spend some time in the snow with family. We met up with Mimi, Poppy, Great Grandma Gerrie, Aunt Rachel, Uncle Jake, Aunt Annie, and cousins Adin, Gabe and Julia! We all stayed at my grandmas timeshare at the beautiful Tahoe

March 6th was our last day in the house where we had spent the last 4 and half amazing years! We've created so many wonderful memories while living there, it was hard to say good bye. As we drove away from our house for the very last time I had tears streaming down my cheeks. It was harder to leave then I thought possible. In the first four years of being married, Dustin and I moved 5 times, it

Before I had my first baby over four years ago I could remember anything and everything! I had no need for a planner, phone book or Post-It notes because of the wonderful memory I had. When my friends where all talking about journals available for moms to help keep track of their baby's needs I inwardly laughed at them thinking to myself "come on, how crazy can you be to need a journal to keep

Sorry, these pictures just needed some words... Last weekend I flew down south with Christine, Julia and Timothy. Christine and Julia were bridesmaids in our good friend Julia's wedding. At Julia's shower we played a game and Chris, Jules and I were grouped together. We had to create a wedding gown in 2 minutes using our imagination and 2 rolls of toilet paper. I'd never played a bridal shower

My boys love to be in the kitchen with me. They have this freaky sense about them, it's like they hear someone shouting to them "mommy's in the kitchen we better go see what she's up to!" They know anytime I step foot in the kitchen and no matter what they are in the middle of doing they come running in. I love it! Their curiosity is never discouraged, they are great little helpers eager to lend

I've missed writing posts. I'll try to make some time and write what we've been up to lately. The other day I was trying to get through a busy day at work and Alex calls me barely able to contain his excitement! He  tells me that he now knows how to count to 20, and over the phone I hear his little voice count to 20! My four year old made my day!!  Lazy Sundays We've been blessed with a second

Today we went over to my sister Christines to do some cookie decorating - just in time for Christmas! We had so much fun watching all the kids decorate to thier little hearts content. Alex says, "look mom, this cookie's as big as my head!"and Isaac was all about eating the frosting! Since I've been working so much lately it was so refreshing to get away and spend some time with my boys,

One of my many favorite Christmas traditions is making gingerbread houses. The boys and I made one of our very own :) I really had to give up the idea of having it perfectly decorated. I'm not a very creative person but I do take time with the details on crafts and I like to have the clean and concise look of a project. Well, not with this one, we had globs of icing and candy all over our

"Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before Him with joyful singing. Know that the Lord Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise.

Four years ago today daddy and I were beyond ecstatic to welcome you into our family! Alex, you light up my world! We are so blessed to have you. Your laughter is contagious and you are such a kind and loving big brother. You absolutely love to put together puzzles. You can complete these things with little to no effort at all and find so much joy in them. You can never spend too much time

My mom, Andrea and I hosted a surprise baby shower for Christine and baby Timothy. A few of Christine's friends came to help us celebrate her and the coming of baby. We had a very relaxing time filled with fellowship, food, laughter, great friends and a gift we all will forever remember... A few hours into the festivities Chris began to experience some light contractions. We all decided to camp

Laughter. Oh the sweet sounds of laughter as the boys play together Almost every day Alex and Isaac say "mommy, you're not going to office when we wake up?" Three days a week I have to say that I have to, but on those days that I say I will be here when they wake up their thrilled and so am I! It's hilarious hearing Alex say "Are you seriously?"

I was recently offered to review some invitations from Storkie.com I just couldn't wait to start planning the next party... ...which happened to be my sister Christine's baby shower! I was beyond impressed with the huge selection I found on Storkie.com. There was a very hip and stylish baby shower invitation that I loved right away, the only problem was that the lady on it was blond and my

I love this picture! A very talented friend of mine, Sarah Risucci, took some family portraits for us, we had so much fun! Dustin and I have been married over 7 years and this was the first professional shot we've ever had taken (our wedding photos don't count, but that's another story).

My sister, Christine, called me to see if I could come help her get caught up on her laundry. The fact that she's 7 months pregnant makes it very uncomfortable for her to do it herself. Could you just imagine the mounds of laundry that would come from having 6 kids? I know how quickly our laundry can pile up with just 2 kids!  I didn't hesitate when I told her I'd be there to help. I was happy

A few weeks before turning 2 Isaac decided he didn't want to wear diapers anymore and potty trained himself. He would be in a diaper and tell us every time he had to go, so one day while I was at work Dustin put him in underwear. He hasn't wanted a diaper on since! He's only had a few accidents and even then it's just a little bit of wetness. It's not even necessary setting the timer to remind us

Today, Isaac, you turn 2! You're such an amazing little guy, so full of life and energy. Sometimes I think you assume you're older, wanting to do everything yourself, saying "I do it, all by self!" You blow me away with how much you already know, like saying the whole alphabet, counting to ten, you know your colors, you even potty trained yourself! Last night you weighed 21.4 pounds and your 30

This time of the year is great for grilling some of our favorite foods, grilled veggies, chicken and vegetable kabobs and fish (our favorite is Salmon!). I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Spray is the perfect complement to these great foods. It adds butter flavor to our favorite grilled dishes and it helps us grill smarter with 0 calories, 0g fat, no hydrogenated oils, and 0g trans fat per serving

While at BlogHer in New York I had the opportunity to be treated to more pampering than ever before. At the Unilever Penthouse Suite event we experienced beauty care treatments, one of my favorites was the "foot massage" room. I caught my moment of bliss with New Suave Naturals Body Lotion with some reflexology, I chose the Mango Mandarin fragrance and all day long I could smell the light scent

I'll be the first one to admit that my kiddos and I love to snack! My husband has taught me, that as long as we keep it healthy, it's actually prudent to give in to our daily snack cravings. We've found that it's more healthy to snack in between meals. Snacking helps to curb appetite and may even prevent overeating. We snack to fuel our bodies, giving us the energy we need throughout the day,

I know most children can sleep just about anywhere, but Alex always needed his bed in order to fall asleep. He's been a very light sleeper since birth, I remember during nap time we would have to whisper and wait 'till he got up to do any kind of housework - even in a two story house! Isaac on the other hand is a whole different story! He can sleep anywhere! He doesn't care if there's a party

I can't believe how big this conference is. Several months ago Chris asked me to go with her and I discovered that tickets to BlogHer '10 were already completely sold out!

I can't believe how fast Isaac's growing up! He's not quite two and he already knows his colors, he can count to three, sings (along with me) his ABC's, and he's even telling me when he needs to go potty, he's such a smart kiddo! After being married seven years we finally had family pictures taken by a professional. My extremely talented friend Sarah with Sarah Dawson Photography and her husband

While in Colorado we took the boys exploring and found ourselves hiking a historic landmark."Castle Rock" was named because of a volcanic eruption that took place covering the area around Castle Rock leaving a gigantic rock. Mass flooding and erosion of the volcanic rock gave way to the "castle"-shaped butte that is now the town's namesake. We covered the 1.4 miles of trail and the boys loved

We celebrated the 4th of July in Castle Rock, Co with family. Sunday afternoon the guys (Dustin and Jeremy) took Alex and Isaac to pick up some fireworks. They all came back, and let me just say that the sun couldn't go down fast enough! They could hardly wait to set off the explosions of lights!Once the sun went down and it was dark enough for some fireworks it was pouring down rain! In July. In

For the last few months the anticipation had been building for Alex and Isaac. July 2nd didn't come soon enough for my excited little boys! They were thrilled when we finally boarded our flight bound for Denver, Colorado.After a good night sleep we were greeted by very enthused cousins! In unison, Elliott and Emmett shouted their hello's! We were all happy to see Uncle Jeremy, aunt Adrienne and

I've known for quite some time that adding digital video to my blog would enrich it tremendously. I just recently entered JVC BlogHer Sweepstakes and it stired that passion once again to add video here to my site. I think back on some of my posts and wonder how much more exciting it would have been to have video of our trip in Hawaii, Disneyland, or camping by the Coast.For me, when I visit a

Growing up I longed for the special time we spent together on our tips as a family. There are several times that as an adult I reflect on those times away from our busy schedules. No school. No work. No chores. No distractions. Just spending time together! Those memories with my parents and siblings will forever be close to my heart.Now, having children of my own, I strongly desire to create new

Not too long ago my mom, sisters and I took a much needed girls getaway to Southern California and visited Disneyland and CA Adventure! The best part was that it was during Christmas time!Growing up we went to Disneyland every few years. We had some really close family friends that lived in So Cal and we would visit them and they would take us to the Park that was not far from their house. One of

We were decorating our house and Alex kept asking what things were as we were unpacking the Christmas decorations. When he asked what all the white paper was I told him tissue paper - and he says "Oh, I should throw it in the toilet", I said "No, not toilet paper, it's

Alex and I decorated our Christmas tree! We had so much fun unwrapping all the ornaments and putting our little found treasures all over the tree.

A few days before Thanksgiving we had Andrea and the boys over to make some brownies, banana bread and cards to take to our local fire fighters to show our appreciation and thankfulness for all that they do to help keep us safe.Adin and Alex had fun using all sorts of colors and stickers to make the cards and even helped make the banana bread. But the boys favorite part came when we got to the

Alex has reached the age of race car toys! Anything that has to do with cars he's all over it. Several months ago he started his collection of race cars, race tracks and monster trucks. We recently got the GX Racers Super Jump from JAKKS Pacific and he found it to be a blast! As soon as he saw the box Alex tore it open and he and daddy got right to work building the GX Race Track.The extreme car

I can't believe it! My baby turned three! We had a wonderful celebration with friends and family. Alex is really into construction vehicles right now and our theme for the birthday party was "construction site". On the morning of his party we had fun decorating the house with "Caution" tape, streamers, balloons, and we even used his tractor toys as props. But the icing on the cake was

... and much to my dismay this is what I saw...My dear husband took the boys for a walk while I was making dinner and about a half hour after they left he called me and told me that I just had to come see something. So, I set the dinner preparations aside (fortunately I hadn't started the cooking process yet) and met him and the boys where he told me they were. At first seeing Isaac drenched in

A few weeks ago we had our first rainstorm of the season and Isaac absolutely loved it! He thought that it was the greatest thing in the world to just watch the rain come pouring down. We wanted him to enjoy watching up close (fortunately it was a warmer storm) without getting soaking wet so Dustin sat in the Tahoe with him just enjoying the blessings of rain!

My sweetspot is definitely found in giving. I feel the most fulfilled when I know that I have made someones day brighter by doing something to help them. The Lord has blessed me with so much and I love to share those blessings with others. Very seldom does my giving have to do directly with money (I wish it did, but, like so many, we don't have a lot of it right now), but rather of my time and

At my nephew Elliott's birthday party Alex was very excited to watch during present time, however, he really wanted to "help" and he was told not to touch the birthday boys gifts. This is how he controlled himself from touching.

I never have understood how it's possible that babies get food all over their face. I was feeding Isaac some yogurt and had to jump up for something and apparently I left the bowl within arms reach of him because a minute later this is what I saw. I guess it will have to remain a mystery to me how it got ALL over his face because I missed every bit of the action!

It is truly amazing that Isaac is already a year old! It seems that his first year has gone by so fast, much faster than I remember with Alex.Isaac is full of life and our family is brighter with him, he certainly brings all of us an unspeakable amount of joy and happiness!We had a party for him at the park.

I've missed blogging regularly over the last month. I've been caring for Dustin and our two boys with not much time left to do anything else. Over a month ago, August 16th, Dustin hurt his left knee while playing in a league basketball game. After x-rays, an MRI, and several doctors visits we found out the prognosis and it wasn't a good one. He tore his acl and meniscus and the only cure: surgery

Well, we had an incident that prohibited us from doing so.We had just spent the day at the Dole Plantation where we went through the maze, Dustin and Alex rode the train and we all ate a delicious lunch (my second favorite restaurant in Hawaii, we loved it so much we went back a few days later

Part three:We certainly had a blast doing all the things we could cram into one week. I'm sharing lots of pictures!Our favorite was going to the beach, of course who wouldn't love soaking up the sun in Hawaii? Alex loved chasing the waves, building sand castles, tasting the saltwater and just hanging out. Unfortunately we didn't go to the beach as much as we had hoped to, more on that later.There

As we drove further and further away from the city we were so relieved that the house we rented was on the north shore , far from the traffic and busyness!

Last month we went on a wonderful family vacation to Hawaii! I have decided to share our trip in a few parts!Part one:Our flight to O'ahu was departing early Tuesday morning so we took a 2.5 hour drive to San Jose the previous day and stayed in a hotel in order to be close to the airport. It was a pretty small hotel room but we all managed to get a few hours of sleep, I was a little too excited

Isaac took his first few steps last week and yesterday took five in a row! He's growing up oh so fast. Today we were two streets from my grandmas house on our way home from running errands and Alex recognized the streets and asked to go see grandma! It's amazing how much he pays attention to where we are. Because a visit with grandma sounded so delightful we spontaneously popped in to say hi. She
