Toy Story 3





The boys love the Toy Story movies. We have been watching the 1st and 2nd TS movies, over and over at home. It has been fun watching O, like the movies as much as J use to love Cars!!!
They both love Buzz Light Year and Woody- and Owen especially likes Bullseye and Jessie.

So, when the third movie was coming out, we thought it would be fun to take both the boys to the movie theater. They had fun and Owen did very well in the theater. They got to have popcorn, candy and Sierra mist- it was a lot of fun and the movie was really good- the best one of all 3 and I recommend that you see it!!!

This is how we have been living.....



Chaos..... I do not like it.... I should say it is organized chaos- but that is kind of an 'oxymoron'
This is how we have been living..... but soon it will all be packed up and onto a truck ..... here is a peek into our crazy.... boy I am ready for some relaxation and no time lines......

5 years ago








We are having some busy times preparing for the move. In the middle of it all, though, I still try and keep update on the blog, emails, and other stuff.

As the move date comes closer, this will change until we have service there, but in the meantime we are having some fun.

The boys totally love sharing their room- they play well, and are in there a lot playing with their toys. Even though it is small, I don't think they mind. When planning for our next rental, we were having difficulty finding a 3 bedroom on a first floor in the short time frame we are needing it- so we did settle on a 2 bedrm 2 bath-but all J was concerned with, was whether or not, he and O would be sharing a room.
I am hoping the place is as big as the current one we are in now. Fortunately, my sister checked out the model- so I am sure it will be fine....

5 years ago, we were celebrating Rob's 1st Fathers Day- I put a pic up from that time- and my mind is still boggled that we will be back there 5 years later- it is awesome- and things fell into place in such a way, that I guess it was meant to be .........

Arizona

Wow

Everything is happening really fast.... by the time it is July, we will be in Arizona- it is wild!!!
There are several things "checked" off our to do list in order for us to move, have a place to live, etc
There has been so many changes in a very short amount of time- Everyone at works says "you are so calm" but I must know how to hide it cuz' my mind is going a mile a minute. Also, I found out that school out there starts earlier than here- Aug 9th- so I am trying to find out what is needed for J to start kindergarten!!!
I have most of the main things covered- so now it is down to the nitty gritty details
Well I better get, need to go to bed, although, I am not tired!!! WEIRD!

My New Birkies






I love green- especially this shade of green-

When I saw these shoes, I knew they must be mine- lol!!!!!

I haven't had a pair of birkies' for some time- the last ones were worn so well, I had to can them after YEARS of use.......

I also found an eco friendly winery- perhaps out west, I will have to check this out with my sista'

New Adventures









We are settling into the rental as much as we want to.
I had my first day off of my new work schedule, and even though I filled it with stuff I needed to get done, I have to say, it was so nice having a day off from work to spend time with the kids.
It was also very nice, knowing for now, this is how it will be each week and the best part is, I only return for 1 day, and then it is the weekend!!

We have been busy here- O received a big boy bed- we were going to use the other bunk bed, but, we decided rather than buying a mattress, which we would need to do, we decided to buy a toddler bed due to the space. Their room, which they are sharing ( which they tell me they really like to do) is a little tight- and I could see it now, O, being 2 and rambunctious and daring- he would be on the top bunk- jumping- so for now, we ended up getting his own Toy Story bed- he loves " Woody" and "Buzz" so it works

Then, J, learned how to ride his bike without training wheels. He is SOOOO proud!! He really likes riding his bike- and it only took him a couple of times to get it all by himself.

I am planning taking some pics this weekend and getting back into that- especially, now since we are not sure how long we will be here. The weather has been nice ( except today- it is raining) and so I am hoping to get out this weekend to some of the parks.
