A Busy Day

Wow! It's sunday already! I think I have blogged almost everyday this week... I can't believe it! Yesterday, poor Jacq layed on the couch all day and drank water. For the first time she asked for a baby bottle. I have never ever seen her ask for one in a long time! She is in quick rememberence that her birthday is tuesday and she will be three. She knows, she's excited and she reminds everybody when they call! Today is laundry day! It's gonna be 80 degrees outside and I am going to do laundry. I also have a few other things around the house to do, so it's okay. The kids could use a down day. Matt is off today and tomorrow, so it's family time today, and tomorrow Lala gets her day with Daddy. She loves Mondays! Especially when she doesn't have to share Daddy with Peter. Peter goes back to school tomorrow. I am dreading summer when he is home all day! =( But, he is going to Skyhawks soccer camp in August and it's a daycamp so it will be so much fun for him! He is finally getting involved in something. I want to get Jacq signed up for t-ball for the summer, or soccer too. I think it would be good for her! She wants to be a cheerleader, but the only place that I can find cheerleading is the boys and girls club and you have to be 7, so I guess she'll just have to wait!
Anyways, I am rambling again... time to let Peter take over and get on the computer... He spent all day playing sproutonline.com yesterday. It's all learning activities, so it was good. He also plays a few other websites and the school's summer reading website raz-kids.com, so he always has something to do!

Hasta Manana!

Stress Stress and More Stress

Well it's Saturday and what am I doing? Taking care of little miss bladder infection. This happens regularly and I still feel horrible everytime it happens. My poor little girl. My daughter has a disease called Bladder Reflux. It's alot like acid relux, but it's wehn you urinate and your bladder goes back in to your kidneys. She's got two pockets in her kidneys. It isn't fun, we go through testing every year, but it still kills me to have to deal with the fever, the infection itself. But it'll all be okay... someday!

Au Revoir for now!

An Award, Shopping, and No More Van!

So yesterday... I went and got Matt from work early, and then we came home to get Peter. Peter announces that there was an assembly yesterday, and he got an envelope. I pulled it out, and started bawling. My baby (ok not so much a baby) got an award from the Kiwanis Club of Federal Way! One of two kids in his class! I can't believe it! I am so proud of him! It's for good citzenship, and a good attitude. Shocking, because he never has a good attitude at home! I am so proud!

Then, we went and sold the van. It's gone! Oh well. I'm not mad, a little depressed about it, after all we had it when we brought the baby home from the hospital! So it's a little depressing! After that we took Peter out to dinner to celebrate his award!

Then... Jacq's birthday is on the 2nd! I can't believe it... She's gonna be 3 already! I finally got to take her shopping! She was so much fun! Except that she wanted everything in the store! We went to Wal-Mart, so she got a Lime green outfit (skirt and tank), a High School Musical purse, Lip Gloss, and a huge bubble wand! So much fun! I got a new purse and picked out my vacuum that we are going to pick up soon!

Woo hoo! Today, my daughter has already figured out how to make herself a peanut butter sandwich, and well it's just the beginning!

So... Hasta Luego!

Two Today, I'm Shocked!

So... when I was little I had dreams, big dreams. I was gonna be Paula Abdul. It seems like a long time since I was gonna be Paula Abdul, but still not alot has changed. Well rearranged maybe, but not changed. My best friend moved away when we were in third grade. I think I saw her once or twice after that. Then I thought I lost her forever. I didn't feel right, I felt like part of me was lost. She was after all, my very best friend, from Kindergarten beyond. She lived across the street. We had slumber parties all the time! It felt so wierd when she moved away! Then, about eight and a half years after I graduated from high school, I found this thing on the internet called myspace. I thought I would search. And sure as shit, I found her. I can't believe the internet does such great things, but I am so happy to have my friend back. And of course with everything going on, it's wierd, but it's amazing at the same time! I love you Lindsay!!

My Marriage

Now for those who know, Matt and I have been together off and on for almost 4 years and married for 3 of them. But it seems like the end is near. I am now being accused of cheating, lying, and whatever else he can think of. I am getting really annoyed by it. It's not fair that I have to put up with it constantly!!

But on a lighter note, I did get rid of the horrible van finally! And... Peter might get to go to soccer camp this summer! I totally hope so! He wants to go so bad! And that will make me the soccer mom I always have wanted to be!!

My Little Girl, A Camera, and Camping

Memorial Day weekend was awesome! We went camping with the kids up in Darrington and had a blast! I have a ton of pictures... the only problem... Jacquelyne took all of them! Oh well...

My little girl has an amazing personality! She had a blast this weekend. She got to do two of her favorite things... Camping and Taking Pictures... She took alot them herself! Her favorite thing to do is get ahold of my camera and take all sorts of pictures. Which she got a few good ones, but not quite the pictures I wanted!

We left Saturday after Matt got off work and went up to Darrington. Stayed out kinda late by the campfire, realized that I get the best part of my mom dating Bill... the boys. I love Bill's boys. They are awesome, and they love to tease me just as much as my own brothers do!
Sunday morning we got up, I made breakfast (Eggs, Hashbrowns, & Sausage), cleaned up the motorhome, and then went outside. The kids played and played, and eventually I had to bring Matthew in for a nap, but other than that, he had a blast and played and played in his little bouncy chair! My mom came out to camp from Bill's shortly after Matthew and I got up from his nap. She brought fried chicken and toys for the kids. They played with those all day and all night! Towards the evening, some of Billy and Randy's friends from town showed up and got the party going. Steve brought out a fifth with him, and all I saw was that it was clear liquid. After Matt drank some, Randy dragged me over there, and I smelled it, smelled okay, so I ~chug, chug, chug~ and it burned... Billy finally told me I drank moonshine... real moonshine! The kind that Grandma made on Beverly Hillbillies. It was nasty, but in a good way! Got the kids to bed, and Matt (he had been drinking since 9:30 that morning) and went to sleep.

Monday morning, got up, made breakfast, cleaned up, packed up the car, cleaned up camp, and off we went. Went to grandma's, stopped by my mom's and home we finally made it. It felt so good to sleep in my bed last night, and stayed nice and warm!!

This week is laundry time! I have finally got to crack down and get the laundry done, I also have to get a bedroom cleaned out, and get my house finished!! I can't wait... I have been procrastinating so bad, that it will feel so good to finally have everything put together. I also have to get my bedroom done too. Lots of Curtain hanging, and making things look pretty! I can't wait... that's my favorite part!!

Anyways, I am trying to remember to do this everyday, I have to put a reminder on my facebook so that I can update it everyday, I will try during naptime, as my kids have finally realized that they can take naps at the same time, Mommy will not get lonely!

So until then... Au revoir!

What Always Happens?

Well, right now I am sitting in Lynnwood Honda, getting my mom's car maintanced. Well, the car she is letting me borrow. It's quite the wierdness (is that a word?). Jacquelyne is being overly friendly as usual, and baby is sleeping like a doll in his car seat. This weekend was fun though!
Thursday - Jackie flew in! Right on! My mom and her picked Peter up to go to my grandma's, and they took Jacquelyne for the night. Got a good night's rest at least! Also got to enjoy some time with my husband and my baby!
Friday - Family BBQ at Charlie's. But it was unlike any family bbq we've ever had! Bill's family was there too. It was awesome. We really enjoyed ourselves... and we got the first ever pic of me and my brothers and sister as adults. I actually looked like an adult in it this time! Jacquelyne came home with us, and we had Nicci with us too. It was fun!
Saturday - Went up to Bill's. So much fun! Rode the ATV's, and actually had time to sit and relax and enjoy the campfire. Mom, Bill, and Jackie went to Bill's house that night, so me and Matt and the two little ones slept in the motorhome. I got drunk off tequila with Michelle, Max, Billy, and Courtney after my kids went to bed. That was fun!
Sunday (Mother's Day) - Woke up, got ready, and left the campground! Stopped at two smoke shops, Jack and the Box, and Janine's before we had to go to Charlie's. At Charlie's we had fun! It was nice and relaxing for the most part! Got a really pretty necklace and a plaque from my mom and grandma. Had a good day with the kids. Brought Matt, Lala, and Matty home and then went and got Janine. Brought her home with us!
All Janine did almost the entire time she was here until yesterday was sit on my computer! Oh my gosh! I didn't know someone could sit on myspace so long! Tuesday night was Peter's kindergarten concert, and he did so good. I am still so proud of him! I love him so much! And yesterday, I brought Janine home and relaxed!
Whoo! Now today, I am sitting at Lynnwood Honda, and getting after Jacquelyne. After putting all that into words, no wonder I am so exhausted this week!!

What else to say? Not much... I could really use a break from my husband... I am really tired of all the crap I am getting!

Until next time!!
**xxoo**

May 7, 2009 ~ The First

Well, this is really super new to me, and I am very excited about it. I figure having this will keep family members up to date on what is going on with the kids and us as a whole family!
Well to those who are new to our family: We consist of me (Terisa, the wife & mom), Matt (the dad & husband), Peter (oldest, 6 years old), Jacquelyne (Lala , two years old), and Matthew (baby, 4 months old). We are a happy little family. I am a stay at home mom, and enjoy every minute of it. I love the fact that I get to watch my kids grow day by day. Sure, there are lots of frustrations with it, but it is totally worth all the frustration for one moment of complete and total happiness with them. My children are amazing and I love them dearly.
Peter, who is 6, is a complete and total artist wannabe. He loves to draw, color, paint, anything that has to do with art! Lala, almost 3, is the total girly girl always playing with her babies, and loves to color too. Matthew, well he's a complete and total different story. He is the last baby. I had my tubes tied, so no more babies for me. He is learning so fast and growing so fast, I can't even believe it!
Matt and I have been married for three years. He is amazing to me. He takes such good care of me and the kids, its not even funny. I love him so much!

Today was a great day! My sister flew in from Minnesota this morning, and I hadn't seen her in almost two years. It really sucks her, her husband, and my neice and nephew live all the way out there! But, she flew in and my mom picked her up. They came to our house, and well, took two of my kids outta my hair! Peter went to his great-grandma's for the weekend, and Lala got to go spend the night with my mom and my sister. At last check she wore them out! So, Matt and I got a day with just Matthew. I don't think we've had a day like that for a long time. It was really nice. Just the three of us, and Matthew slept part of the day, so it was basically a husband and wife day. I really enjoyed it! Now, we are watching "27 Dresses" and I am getting ready to go to bed!
Good night all... I will write again tomorrow night!
