He Said What???

Okay. I know I am a little behind. But I swear if it's not one thing it's another thing. I will start getting updates posted soon. Hopefully this week since I have the next 6 days off.

However I had to post this before I forgot.

Anthony came to me wanting to play a video game. I asked him to wait until Jackson was down for a nap.

A: I have a good idea.

M: What's that?

A: You could hold him.

M: No that's not a good idea.

A: Okay. I have another idea.

M: What's that?

A: We could tie him up.

M: We can't tie him up.

A: Why?

M: Because he isn't a dog.

A: But we could pretend.

Coloring Eggs

I know I am slacking on the Easter post. Here is part one of two. Saturday before Easter I took the boys to a local church Easter egg hunt. I was too busy trying to help Jackson pick up eggs I didn't get any pictures of them hunting for eggs.

After we got home Anthony, grandma, and I colored eggs.

Anthony ready to go.
Thinking, thinking, thinking.

Time for the finished eggs.

Ta-Dah!

Job Update

Okay so it has officially been 90 days since I started my new job. I am finally out of "new hire" meaning I can now take time off from work. Finally!

So what excatly is my job.. Well it has changed already since being hired. I was hired to book air, car, and hotel for our plantium and centurion card members. Luckly there was a opening on the cruise desk. Along with most people don't have cruise experience. So the year wait was lifted and I was able to move into cruise training as soon as my orginal training was over.

After 90 days I am finally on my regular shift, and out of training. How do I like it? It's good. I think I will really enjoy it once I get inot my groove. I don't think being laid off could have happened at a better time. I am excited about the FAM's that I can possibly take, and the extra money I could earn.

1 Year Ago

One year ago today I lost a little piece of my heart. My grandma passed unexpectedly. I was very close to my grandma. Always spending time with her and thought she would be around forever. Things I miss the most are our conversations, about the Jazz, the books she is reading, catching up with her about what was new with me and my kids.

As a kid she took me to my first Jazz game. I even chose my grandma to write an autobiography about in the 6th grade. My grandma was a strong woman. Raised three kids alone, and even had to learn how to read again after her storke. She amazed me.

It has been a tough year. I find myself crying when I am alone sometimes just because I miss her so much. I am happy to have the amazing memories of my grandma and know she lives on in my heart.

Spring 2010 Pictures

It's that time of year again. Time to update the kids pictures.

Enjoy!

I must say I have some pretty good looking kids!

Safe Kids Fair 2010

Last weekend was the Safe Kids Fair. Anthony loved it last year, so why not go again this year. Best part? It was free.

I think the it is fun that the kids get to sit on a cop's bike.
Or sit in the drivers seat of the firetruck.

Even check out a helicopter.

However I think Anthony enjoyed seeing the Star Wars characters the most!
