Moving!! I know.....AGAIN?! lol

Well,we found a lovely home in our old neighborhood Castle gate(in the QC) and will be moving back a week from this weekend!! I am extremely excited! We will be renting the Yamamoto's house,very cute! I know we have moved quite a bit but something about Castle gate has been calling us back....not sure if its because that's where all our support is located or not but happy to be coming back!

Our Easter Weekend

Well, this weekend we had planned to go Camping with some friends,so we left Friday to head up to the mountains, just past Forest Lakes. We started out like this.....



We were all excited to be going on this little getaway,but as we were on the road Austin just did not seem to be doing well at all...he had a fever and was very drowsy. Once we got the campsite and set up all he wanted to do was sleep.So he slept in the trailer while the rest of us did a little of this...



Here is Brooklyn and a little friend snuggling around the campfire. We enjoyed sitting around the fire and a few smores and then turned in..thinking the kids would be up early. Austin talked in his sleep almost the entire night it was clear that he was not doing well at all.It rained all night...well that's what we thought but we woke up to this...


The ground was covered in snow and it was still continuously coming down. Being natives from Mesa...we are just not snow people...the kids took one look out the trailer door and ran back to the bed. It was so cold we all got in the car and turned on the heater. Austin was still feeling awful so we decided the only thing to do was to pack up and head home. The upside to this was being back in time for my families Easter celebration Saturday evening. We headed home and this is what we had to drive through!!...

That's snow!!! We were driving through a snowstorm,it was scary but didn't last too long. We made it home and headed to my brother's house for dinner and an Easter egg hunt. Austin was feeling OK off and on.





Sorry, lol I could not resist that plumbers shot of Brooklyn and her little tush! The kids sat on the couch to watch Cars and Austin fell asleep. When he woke up his temp was 105.9!! Ryan and I took him to an urgent care near bye

Poor guy we were there for about a hour and a half and found out he has an ear infection. Could have been worse :) Sunday night we did pretty much the same thing with Ryan's family dinner and an Easter egg hunt! We also had a late celebration for Austin's 4Th birthday. Overall we had a great weekend and I feel truly blessed to belong to the families that I do!

Were back!

OK! Sorry, but just to say I am still here...here is a short and sweet post.
We have been through some recent trials but are fighting and surviving :)
Brooklyn is now 5 and Austin will be 4 on the 31st...thats craziness! We are moving back out to Queen Creek...never thought I would be saying or typing that but it just feels right! Will post more soon!

An update

OK. I have 17 pounds left to lose :)!!! I am so excited at how close I am to being done with the losing part. I love the gym! It is a chance to get a break from the kids and out of the house..lol! My best friend's sister took these pictures and I actually like them! I have never liked any pictures of me. My motivation and self confidence is higher than it has ever been and I feel Fabulous! If you didn't listen to the twilight song in my last post go listen it is amazing!!

A Song Written For The Twilight movie

My best friend Candace wrote and recorded a song for the new Twilight movie! She is hoping to get it into the hands of the right people so Stephenie Meyer will be able to hear it and select it for the movie soundtrack. It is amazing!! Please go listen and drop her a line of encouragement!!!! Here is the link!!

Saturday

This is my little brother Benson(with Brooky and Austin). We joined the gym that he works at and he is training us. I have been very excited about getting in shape,completely. My goals are to lose 25 more lbs and actually be able to say that I have some upper body strength.





After our first session at the gym we went to my nephew's 6Th birthday party in Chandler at Makutu's Island. That place is huge! I went everywhere the kids did, I was feeling some pain from the gym but climbing up nets and through tunnels and downs slides,it was fun and extremely painful.

Our Holliday Weekend

This is my In-Law's Cabin. It is a home away from home for all of us. The weather up there was amazing this weekend,it stayed in the 60's and 70's and there was tons of rain. Brooklyn stayed with my mom this weekend so Ryan and Austin and I went up. Ryan laid tile in his parent's master bathroom and his Aunt's kitchen while we were there. Austin self entertained himself for the entire weekend! It was nice.





He played on this and dug in rocks and got as dirty as possible.


This looks so uncomfortable but he played cars like this for hours.


And he went for rides with Grandma Fuller.
We had a good time, I really was sad to go. We look forward to the next getaway!
