Easter 2012

Easter has come and gone and it is hard to believe April is halfway over. The days and months are just FLYING by.  We had Easter at my Dad and stepmoms with the girls, the boys and us like we usually do and the girls get to have an egg hunt and hunt for like 155 eggs,  some have candy, some have money and some have nothing in them. Emily learnt that the hard way.  She had an egg that she "thought" was empty and she threw it back in the basket and Grandma said No no if it feels empty doesnt mean it is empty.  LOL  It had a dollar in it.  Whoo hoo :)  So she opened them all and yea some had NOTHING in them haha.

We ate some goodies and had a lunch and Steve went off to work.  I stayed home with the girls this year and I did enjoy every minute of it.  I really miss the holidays with my kids.  They are only little once and well I have missed 4 lonnng years of every single holiday because I have to run off to work.  Oh well,  bills have to be paid huh?

The girls have been out of school all this week and they are pretty bored at times.  They LOVE to go outside and play but get bored after awhile.  I think they will be happy when they are back in school.  I know I will because they are fighting like crrrazy!  UGH!

Before we know it April will be over.....

{Girls update}

Girls are doing good.  Today all three had a eye exam and the eye doctor determined that Hannah and Emily need glasses.  Natalie is ok so far .. Hannah has to wear hers for reading only at home and at school.  Emily on the other hand has to wear hers ALL the time.  She has been squinting and having a hard time reading and seeing at school and her teacher will not move her closer to the front of the class because he says he has kids up there that wear glasses and cant see,  So now maybe he will move her closer to the front now that she has to be in glasses all the time. I had no idea her eyes were that bad and I am glad we caught them now so she can see better in class and see to read better. Poor kid. So they were excited to pick out their frames today.  They are not to sure about having to wear them but they will get used to them. :)

Here is a quick photo a snapped of the girls at the eye doctor, these are the frames they chose. So cute.

Best Valentines Day Ever..

My previous post was about Valentines Day and how Steve was going to his fire class and it was about give and take and I was ok with that.  Well come to find out that he had planned a trip for us to go out of town and it was all a surprise.  He planned for my Dad and Stepmom to have the girls overnight and we went to Bodega Bay and stayed the night in a gorgeous hotel .. with ocean front view.

We left my Dads and I had only planned to have lunch with Steve and come back and get the girls and then he would go to class. Well halfway through lunch he out of the blue says I am not going to class tonight, we are going out of town for the night.  I said what about the girls and he said they are taken care of, your dad and anna will keep them. So I was pretty shocked and happy.  So we came home got our clothes and headed out of town.  We got our hotel room and by then it was raining and dark outside. So we started a fire in the fireplace in our room and we were relaxing ... This was a great room with a huge slider door with ocean views, we woke up to ocean views and it was gorgeous.

This is the day 2-14-12 that Steve asked me to be his wife.  Of course I said yes!  We have been through a lot in the almost 4 years we have been together. But that has only made our love stronger. Through the ups and downs we have grown more and more together and I cannot wait to be his wife.  :)

Was one of the best days of my life :)

Happy Valentines Day..

I used to never be a fan of Valentines Day until I met Steve.  He really has shown me that Valentines Day is to celebrate our love for each other.  Although we celebrate everyday this is a special day to go out and make each other feel "special"

This year we are going to lunch only because Steve has fire academy on Tuesday nights and we will not be able to go out to dinner.  That is ok.. I will settle for lunch.  Life is about give and take and well this is my turn to give .. I know how important this fire academy is to him and he has to attend it so I am ok with a nice lunch.  My Dad will have the girls and we get to enjoy a quiet lunch for Valentines Day!  :)

I hope all you lovers out there get to enjoy your day too. :)
