A day at the park! :) Freestone Park is Great!! It's free entertainment, and if you go on the right days they have a train, ferris wheel & carousel! & Ducks!! which are there all the time since Arizona doesnt get that cold.

There are some pictures of us playing at the Park.. As a family I am sad to say we dont get out much. We have opposite days off and work totally opposite schedules so we make it work when we can. Here is me aned Riley.. I look like a retard! Thats what I get for trying to talk while Michael is trying to take a picture! :) RIley is getting so big!

He was soo interested in the Ducks! He kept trying to get in the water to get them!

He loved the big open spaces to run everywhere! We definately worked off our Taco Bell that day! Chasing a 2 year old is tough work!

I love when his little face lights up! Its amazing, and I can see why so many parents live thru their children! Its almost better the 2nd time around!.. I can't wait till it gets a little warmer!.. just a little though... :P

Reasons I love the rain! **today** anyways

#1 reason, my idiot neighbors, seen here.. have no reason to wash or work on their several trucks while they blast mariachi music @ 8am every dang day!! Woohoo!!! Peace & quiet.. did I mention I am moving soon! :)

#2... Riley sleeps good! wherever he falls...or what he falls in.. the house is a little darker.. this doesnt look comfy at all, but what a great nap! I wouldnt dare to move the little monster :) he might awaken..

#3 It smells & sounds so nice!! The rain (after the dusty-smell) smells just like my scentsy scent.. Thunderstorm!! Its heavenly.. and brings back so many nice memories.. Its amazing how a smell can do that! P.s.. I am putting in another order next week.. so if anyone needs anything, let me know :)

#4 . Shopping is great!!! Nobody wants to shop when its raining!! (except me)!! The stores are quiet and nearly empty! the employees arent bugging you because they are all on break watching it rain & flirting with each other! ( I used to work at many dept stores, so I can say this with complete confidence)

#5. Time seems to go by slower!!.. The clock ticks slower... and the day feels longer... So.. on a day off.. this is a great addition to the rain!
***opinions subject to change without notice when I am working*** People can't drive in the rain, so there are car accidents up the wazoo! & power goes out allot, which means people call 911 thinking someone is trying to kill them... Americans watch too much tv.. :)

Almost done!!

We are moving into our new home is about a month! I am so excited! We have worked really hard to get everything in order and finlly we get rewarded! We went to check on the process yesterday and tooks some pictures & video! Riley had a blast running everywhere, climbing in and out of cabinets and closets! even playing in his bathtub!. He threw dirt in his new backyard too! We lock our interest rate in on Tuesday!! So.. government keep those rates low!!

**Back from the Dead** Almost :)

The last few weeks has been very stressful, But thank goodness Christmas is over!! I love the Holiday Season but it takes a toll on me every year. Here are a few little things from Christmas..
One of Riley's Fav gifts was this little vacuum, I looked everywhere for it!! He used it for about 20 mins and then the dang thing broke!! I thought it was the batteries to I slacked off on returning it, now I have new batteries and no little vacuum voice! & no reciept to take it back, oh well he still likes it :) Learn something everyday :)

He also got this great bouncuy thing!! It is big enough for 3 kids and comes with balls! ...ok.. it big enough for one chubby adult too! its fun! I lay in it with him and he jumps around and plays with the balls, It was only $40 @ walmart!! When we get our new house it can go outside so he can jump all day long!
We had Christmas at my house this year and I think it was a success :) I had a great time! The food was good, and all ready at the same time!! woohoo go me! :) Riley got lots of new toys to clutter up the house & my husband did a great job this year, planning ahead for my gifts and wrapping them all seperately!!

Mice & Reindeer :)

Christmas is nearly here!!! OMG I still have so much to do since Christmas is going to be at my house this year. But I hope it will be less stressful & more fun then the previous years :)



Here are some fun yummy's I make. The Reindeer are new this year. I have some work perfecting them though, Next year will be better I will hopfully have more time!

Here is a pic of Riley, I was trying to keep him off the table while I made the treats!
