Doctor D, It's Official!

I am such a slacker. Not just with blogging, but everything. I feel that since we moved here I just have not been able to get back in the swing of things. You know how us moms have a certain way of doing everything to stay organized? Well I thought when I moved I would keep everything the same just in a different state and home. But, honestly it changes everything. It has thrown me for a loop. I can't get on top of things. Two kids, getting the house in order, two callings, laundry, blogging, cleaning, working out, returning phone calls. AHHHH! Every week after we got here I thought I'll get it down by the end of this week, but now it has been like 3 months. Oh well.

In my defense we have been out of town a LOT! And when we went back to San Jose it was for Daddy's graduation. I am so proud of him. He graduated with honors. It was a really beautiful ceremony. Except for everytime I turned on the video camera the mean man in front of me got so mad(I hate people like that), and having to take you boys up and down the stairs while you were crying. Thanks grandparents for showing your love and support for our Man. Congratulations babe!

Ohh Markie,

The reason I do this blog is because I don't keep a journal or scrapbook. So I am trying to write more detail about the boys. Feel free to skip over my blabbing...

Markie Mark is such a sweet boy. He loves to wrestle and throw things and finds such joy in breaking and ruining things like boys do. But he is also such a tender hearted child. He is so well natured and obedient.

I love his sense of humor. He loves to laugh at evrything. He thinks it is soo funny to tease me. For example, all the funny face pictures are me asking him to please smile for a picture. I kept saying, "I just want one pic of you smiling, I'll give you a treat". Markie in a sympathetic tone-"Ok mom I will smile". He will make a perfect smile when I count 1-2- and then on 3 he makes some crazy face and just busts up laughing.

The other day I was doing the dishes and Markie was relaxin on the couch watching the wiggles (of course). I dropped a cup and it made a really loud noise. Markie turned around and said, "You ok Mom?" I told him it was just a cup. He said ok and turned back around.

DeLoy's Announcment!

So DeLoy is graduating and I am sending out graduation announcments. I thought it would be cute to put a family picture in too. Quick and easy. Right?...

These are a few we got without the kids screaming. They aren't edited yet, but can I just say that I hate taking family pictures. Does anyone else feel this way? I am literally sweating buckets trying to get the kids to stop screaming. I had a talk with Mr Markie before and even bribed him with goodies. Didn't work. DeLoy kept asking if we were done and we could just do it later. I don't know how these moms do it that take family pictures all the time. I guess that is why we have NEVER gotten any done professionally before. LOL.

New Blog!!

(side note: my 2 year old is going crazy, so I am hiding in the computer room until he stops screaming and kicking the walls) My parents finally started a blog! Now that they are childness (when we aren't all there all day long) and my dad was released, they have the most exciting life EVER. I swear they are out of town every weekend. My mom is such a quick learner with the computer. Everyone in the fam had become a blog geek accept for the Parents and Nicole! So now we just have one more to go. Check it out at.....

Town Center, City Center....

I can never remember the name of this new place on the strip but it was really fun. Mary, Nicole and Me took the kiddos to play in the water and get ice cream. We had a little pic-in-ic until the mean ol' security gaurd busted us. Markie had a ball. I love the pic of his little body in action.

Bellagio,

I wanted to take Markie to see the volcano and fountains on the strip. I thought it would be a fun outing with the kids. Ha! So when it finally got dark past their bed time, found parking, unloaded the strollers (Nicoles had flat tiers) and everything else in the 110 degree heat, made it through the smokey hotels, revolving doors, porn, and nasty peeps on the street....The volcano was shut down being fixed. In the end it ended up being really fun. Good thing my awesome cousin Becca was there to help us with the kiddos. My favorite part was people looking at us like we were crazy polygamists.

Family...

We have had so many family things I can't keep up. SO here are a bunch together. Whenever we are all together there are so many babies. I love it!

Shani's Wedding,

My beautiful cousin Shani got married a few weekends ago. We had a fun little girls night out the night before with the cousins. She looked amazing at her wedding. Markie loooved dancing at the reception with Sienna and Ethan. ( video will come soon)

All our HOMMIES!

It was so fun to hang with all of our friends and family. I finally got to meet Kali, who I just love. It really is what I love about living back at home. I had to put the picture of Markie smiling with us. I really think it is the only pic we own of him smiling normal for a family photo and I just wanted to tell my girlie friends how much I missed them. Wish Amber and Chicole could have been there.

My Bud,

My baby is getting so big. He is still the easiest baby ever. I am so lucky to have such a sweet little guy. And plus he makes me look tan. He is so much his dad. He has the cutest gut laugh ever. Markie can get him to laugh harder than anyone. We are just workin on sitting up and trying to build an appetite for baby food.
