Ghetto Fabulous Slip-n-Slide

Tanner has no clothes on, as usual.


Caleb in his "body suit"

The boys (yes, Marcus too) decided to make a slip-n-slide at Amara's the other day. Caleb and Seiya had a great idea to put on "body suits" (trash bags) to make them go faster! Who knew you could have this much fun with trash bags and a hose?

I left my heart in San Francisco!

My BFF from San Francisco, Leakhana, came for a visit (she's also Caleb's auntie) We used to work together when I lived in San Francisco. We always have fun when we are together! This time we died her virgin hair from black to BLONDE! Ok, well more like caramel. Anyways, we had fun doing it and it looks fabulous on her!

J.D. Heaven

Jordan and Tanner are in John Deere heaven! Thursday morning they woke up to a John Deere tractor in our field! They watched it hay the field all day from the window (it was too hot to watch from outside). I swear they'd rather watch that than any cartoon or movie. When the driver was done for the day we went over and climbed up on it. They were THRILLED! Jordan had to run and put his hat on first.


Jordan is so excited I don't even know what he's doing in the last picture.

U.S.S. Massachusetts, Battleship Cove

Marcus and Caleb drove down to Fall River, MA. with Adam and Sam Gonzalez to visit Battleship Cove. It's the world's largest historic naval ship exhibit. Friday night they slept on the U.S.S. Massachusetts.

Crazy Dancing...

I was watching So You Think You Can Dance (my FAVORITE show) and Jordan and Tanner were trying to dance like Pasha and Lauren on their hip hop routine..Unfortunately there's no sound (I took it with my digital) but you can still see how crazy my boys are! I especially like Tanner's flip at the end.

We've been Simpsonized!

Pretty cute, huh?

Hot & Humid

Ugh. Today was sooooo humid and hot. I didn't want to leave the house (my car's A.C. is broken) but Beccie and Bobbi and their family invited us up to Raymond beach to go jet skiing. I couldn't say no because my boys LOVE to play with Norbie but I really wanted to stay in the nice cool house. It ended up being a fun day! I even got Tanner to ride the jet ski with me (he was terrified at first) The boys had a blast in the water together!

Scratch That.

I just posted that last post like 10 minutes ago and look what Marcus bought me on his way home from work!

This is a big deal.

I'm quitting Diet Coke. WHAT?! Do you think I'm crazy?!? Ok, I'm actually, not quitting....but I AM cutting down. A Lot. I no longer have Diet Coke in the house. I've been drinking a ton of water lately. I did go out and get a Wendy's Diet Coke earlier and that's all I've had today! That is a huge deal for those who really know me. And I'm not even having any major withdrawals! Cool huh?

Cub Scouts Pack Meeting

Even though Caleb is now a Boy Scout, I am still in the Cub Scouts as the Webelos Assistant Den Leader. Tonight's Pack Meeting was a BLAST! We launched off 2 liter bottle rockets. Jordan and Tanner really enjoyed it! Here's a video of Sean's rocket.

Here are a few other pictures from the meeting:

These things go REALLY high!


Oh, and I thought you might enjoy this.....

Baby Shower

We threw Vanessa, Caleb's dad's girlfriend, a baby shower on Sunday. It started off as a baby shower but ended up an Engagement Party! Marseiro actually PROPOSED to her! He wrapped up a little pair of booties with the ring tied on with pink ribbon. How sweet! We are very excited for them both. After the party we all headed to our house for a bonfire and s'mores. I know your probably thinking that's it's weird that we all hang out. It's not! We all have a lot of fun together. Marseiro is like my brother and Vanessa is really cool and you can't not like her! I know they will be very happy together with their new little baby.

Welcome to the family! (Are you scared?)

What's in the box?

A ring!

Me and my girls!

Awww. Mother and son.

Yea's 100 Day Ceremony

March 20th 2007 Caleb's great aunt, Keo Chhuom, passed away. We all called her "Yea" which means grandmother in Cambodian. She was very special to us. She took care of Caleb when he was little while I was in Cosmetology School (I practiced my haircuts on her!). She LOVED her grandchildren. She was the most sweetest woman I've ever met. We miss her everyday. Today the Buddhist monks said a final blessing for her. All her family and friends were there to remember this remarkable lady.

Can you spot the white monk?

My handsome boy!

Got rice?

Did you know you CAN comment on these posts? At the bottom of my blog posts there is a "comment" link. You don't need to be a member or anything. I would love to know who reads these and that I'm not wasting precious cyberspace! *smile*

Love this!

This is Sarah and Pasha on So You Think You Can Dance.

Oh Wait...

Lacey and Cameron
I did think of one thing exciting. So You Think You Can Dance was on tonight. They are down to the Top 10. Hok (The asian guy I really liked) was voted off tonight. Anya (the Russian girl with the crooked nose) was voted off as well. My favorites are
1. Lacey- She's Benji's sister (he won last year). She's L.D.S. Which isn't why I like her. I think she's an amazing dancer. She's kind of fake (she totally fake cried when she was saved tonight) I can't stand that.
2. Lauren- I don't know why I like her. She's so cute! How could you not?
3. Sarah- I really just love her name. Oh and she's a b-girl. Which means breakdancer girl. And she's just cool.
4. Pasha- This Russian guy can dance! I LOVED the 80's suspender dance he did with Sarah. It was so cool.
5. Neal- He's cute. And he's straight! Amazing!
Okay, I don't like Danny....what a cocky dude. He's defintely the best male dancer but geesh. Too cocky. Cameron is totally HOT but he bombed it last week. Dom has really weird teeth. Sabra thinks she's a comedian.and that curly haired girl laughs too much and I'm not sure she's playing with a full deck. Okay that's it....Next to go are (hmmm *thinking*) Sarah and Pasha (or Dom). We will see.

Rainy Days

Unfortunately it's been raining all week so I don't have anything exciting to blog about. I hate the rain! It makes me want to sleep all day. The kids can't go outside and play, so they are in my face every minute! Plus I had two extra kids, Caleb's sister Deija, our friend Shelby. We started off painting which turned into a huge mess. Around 11am I'd had enough, we needed to go somewhere!! My friend, Marcie (Shelby's mom), and I took the kids bowling. That entertained them for a little while. So now it's bedtime, and they are so wired from being stuck inside all day Jordan and Deija are seriously running around the house with underwear on their head. I need some sunshine in a major way.....

He never got the concept of "rolling" the ball...


Jordan and Deija.

What in the world???

This picture came from Jordan's F.H.E. pack they handed out in primary last sunday. What happened to the mother? She must be taking an extremely high dose of prednisone...
