Vacation


Yay for Vacations!!!  We got back from Riviera Maya on Saturday and boy were we ready to be back!  Let me get to some of the pictures:
Fixing to get on the shuttle to the airport

Waiting for the plane

Fell asleep before we even took off:

We finally got there and got through customs.  After an hour ride from Cancun to the hotel, we got there and saw how beautiful and HUGE it was.  Here, we are all just wondering around waiting for our rooms to be ready:
It was super hot and humid so look at these little rosey cheeks:

We finally got checked in and this is some of our room and the view from the balcony:
Now on this one, I swear he is such a BEAUTIFUL little boy!!! He had to wear Mommy's flower :-)
Anyway, this could go on and on!  It was a really beautiful place.  Scott, Taylor, and I went to Xel-Ha on Wednesday and we took our water camera so those pictures will come later when I get them developed.  Basically, it was just a lot of relaxing at the pool and beach.  Friday, we all got a massage!!Haaahhhhhhh  Except for Kylan that is.  Jane, David, and Taylor got one at 10:00 and Scott and I at 11:00.  It was sooooo nice and severely needed.  I could have a massage every week if I could!! :-)  Kylan was good for the most part.  He had a couple of rough days because he had a molar break through.  More good than bad though.  He slept with us a couple of night because he said "No Like" to his jail bed that was supplied by the hotel!! LOL  He got used to some things that we don't do at home but has dropped those bad habits without too much fighting!  Thank goodness.  We were thinking there was going to be lots of timeouts.  Anyway, I am ready to go to bed and I hope everyone has a great week!

Bad momma on Father's Day!!

You know, I was a bad momma on Father's day due the fact that I didn't get ANY pictures of Kylan and Daddy!!  I did get a picture of Kylan though :-)
We did our normal Ihop trip on Sunday morning and Kylan gave Scott his present there.  We found a card that has the song "I've Been Watching You" by Rodney Atkins and we had to get it!  When I was pregnant we would always say that song is for Scott and the baby.  It was a little inside joke.  Well, come to find out, the song is true to word.  Kylan imitates Scott in every way he can.  Anyway, we bought that card and I put Scott's present from Kylan in there.  "Kylan" bought "Dally" a gift certificate to learn how to do tricks on the wakeboard.  I was really unsure if Scott would like it and thankfully, he loved it!! :-)

Shhhhh, we have a stow-away!!

Well, as we all know, we are leaving on Monday for Mexico!! YAAAAAYYYYYYY  I am excited yet terrified!!  I will have to do some major watching of Kylan and make sure he doesn't wonder away, eat something that he shouldn't, and drink any tiny bit of water that's NOT bottled!!  I'm sure we will be OK, we'll have several people there to help me look after him.

Anyway, Scott and I were packing today and this is what we found:
And then he decided to get in the smaller one and watch TV and eat some yummy chocolate organic bunny grahams!!  They are pretty good! :-)

Well, I am off to get some sleep, hopefully, so I will post maybe tomorrow for Father's Day!  (Sure hope Scott likes what Kylan gave him)  If I don't post tomorrow, then I will definitely post when we get back and I get all the pictures on here :-)  Everyone have a GREAT Father's Day and a good week!! :-)

Busy Busy Ol' Meal

Well, since I've been home, it seems like I have been so busy!  Probably the simple fact that we are going to Mexico next week and I have so much to do.  I just haven't taken many pictures.  I'm starting to fail at my job!!  LOL  Here are a couple of pictures that I stood outside to take while we were having some pretty nasty lightning.  Not to mention, I got some good pics in which I got 9 mosquito bites while trying to get!!

You see the little rotation in there? (This was during the day)
Now, this was at night!! (in which I got the mosquito bites)

And YES, this was night time (that's how bright the lightning was)


OK, I finally found the pictures that I uploaded from my small camera.  Scott had to sync them to the mac so here are some pics from my small camera:::::
Just got his big boy haircut for the trip.  Look at all those chompers!!!
We definitely have a water baby on our hands.  He LOVES the pool!!

Here's Bandit, he needs a float because he doesn't like to swim!!! LOL

Well, there are many more so I will post another day.  I am tired, have a sore jaw (from the dental work I had done on Monday from my toothache from the weekend), and just would like to sit and relax.  Hope everyone had a GREAT hump day!!

Kylan eats crackers while Momma's eyelids are soooo heavy

It's exactly how it sounds. Kylan wakes up bright and early, wanting to eating his morning graham cracker and I am struggling to stay awake!!! After a looooonnnnnnngggggggg night of horrible storms I probably got only a couple hours of sleep. I haven't seen the rain and wind that bad in a long time. The rain was literally going sideways in both storms. The first one was around 8:00 or so last night and then the second one came around 4:00 this morning. I ended up going to bed late (around 12:00), didn't sleep good, then when I did finally go to sleep, got woken up by the wind of all things. Sounded like it was fixing to take off our chimney. Anyway, hopefully no one got some major damage from those lovely storms. Now, I am really thinking about taking my behind to Starbucks and getting some major caffeine!! Happy Thursday! :-)

Wow, VERY BAD BLOGGER!

Man, I sure have been a bad blogger.  There has been so much going on in my neck of the woods!!  I have totally lost track of time.  Anyway, let me start off by saying I am so pumped and ready to do what I am starting to do!!  I have been holding off on posting a blog because I have sooooo much to say.  

OK, since I have started my own little business, which is allowing me to be home with Kylan and stay around the house to do the things I need to do.  So far, I have had a great experience with my business (link to the left side of this post), although, very overwhelming at the same time.  It's either go through the hassles of starting my own thing of trying to get out and find another job.  I choose go through it at home with my Lil' Man! :-)  Basically, I have found a way to make money (not by selling), stay home with Kylan, and keep my home chemical free and Eco-friendly.  When we had Kylan, I wanted to do everything "green", feed him only organic, and overall have a very healthy environment.  I didn't want to give him medicine all time, but as we all know, the little man in my life is VERY high maintenance!!  As my mom says, how could he not be high maintenance when he's got 2 parents that have champagne taste on a beer budget.  Anyway, without giving it all away, I have found the best place to get the BEST products at a very in-expensive price.  I was waiting all last week to get them in so I could try them before I let people in on it.  I wanted to make sure they were good before I turn the people I love most onto them.  Well, here I come!!  It's just a SMALL & EASY change in the way of shopping.  You go straight to the website, order what you need, and they deliver.  I, in no way, deal with what you are ordering.  I am just the person that gets you set up with them and then I set you free into their caring hands!! :-)  You can get most of the stuff at this place that you can at Walmart, Target, or the grocery store!!  That's where I get my pay check, turning people onto them and get some commission from what y'all buy!  Why support Corporate America (who has billions and billions of dollars) when you could support me (and my family!!) :-)  And you would be keeping yourself and your family healthy!!  Right?!?!?!?!?!  Just click on the Internet CEO Moms button to the left and it will take you to my site.  You could either work from home like me or just fill in your info and I will call you.  Just let me know if you would like to know the product and business side or just the product side.  COME ON, SUPPORT ME!! :-)

Anyway, I am just now getting to post pictures from a week ago from the Spray Park in Rockwall.  Kylan and I went to see my sister in Rockwall so we decided to take Kylan and Mia to play in the water.  Kylan was a little skeptical at first but he warmed up and started to jump around like he was galloping!!  It was too cute.  I'll have to get the picture that my sister caught of him in mid air "galloping!"  Here are some pics that I caught:

Mia taking her little cousin back out there: ( love this one, it's like she's protecting him)

Him running back: LOL
Mia showing Kylan how you do it:
Ok, let me tell you this story!  This is a little boy that came up to Kylan right after he picked up a stick.  This little boy came up to Kylan and started trying to take the stick from Kylan.  Then, this is where I get disgusted but also amused at the same time.  The little boy takes Kylan's stick and the mom says to Kylan in a very sweet sarcastic voice, "Are you going to share?"  I could see Kylan looking at him like "why did you just take my stick?"  So I told Kylan to just come on and play in the water.  The little boy came up to Kylan to give the stick back a few minutes later and Kylan gave him this look like "I don't want that stick anymore since you took it from me!"  It was funny but it kinda agitated me.  I wanted to tell that woman, "How about you teach your kid some manners and teach him to ask for the stick or get another!"  But, I figured that's a battle that's not that big of a deal so I let it go.  You can mess with me but not my little man!!  My "mother hen" mood kicked in.  LOL  I just can't believe that woman said that to Kylan when her son just came and took the stick from Kylan.  There were plenty of sticks but he wanted the one that Kylan had!!  Ugggghhhhhh Anyway, I could go on for days about that.  Back to the pictures!

It was a pretty good day!  Can't wait until we can do it again with all four of the children.  Maybe in a couple of weeks when Chris, my brother-in-law, can be home alone.  He just had his 3rd back surgery last week so he needs lots of TLC from my sis.

Me doing this business venture, has allowed me to be Betty Crocker!! LOL  I have made more banana nut bread in the past 3 weeks than I have in my whole life.  It was YUMMY!!  More Betty Crockerness to come :-)


Well, I am heading out to paint our little picket fence so this blog entry is done!  Have a great Monday!
