Happy LOVE Day!

Well just wanted to post some pictures of the girls from Valentine's Day! I'm such a photo nerd. Somedays I think that I should just be a photographer. :D That would be fun! Ha ha...anyway...the girls had a great day! Leilani had a fantastic class party where they played games and exchanged Valentines! Mia also had a class party yesterday at school (because she only goes to preschool on Tuesdays and Thursdays) and then on Valentine's Day Mia and Ai had a party at play group with all their friends! They decorated heart cookies and ate some candy. Here they are in their "Valentine" outfits. SO CUTE! I'm so glad that they are so cute. :D

Below are the girls showing their tasty candy treats and being silly...oh so silly...

Rosie and Mark went out for a quick dinner before Mark had to go to the church to teach his gospel something discussion with the missionaries. How romantic I know! As for me, seeing that I have pretty much been avoiding boys since I have been here (although Rosie and Mark encourage me to go out with some of my guy friends), I stayed home. :D And enjoyed it most thoroughly. I watched Ellie until Holly came and picked her up and then just hungout and attempted to study some and hungout some more. So I hope y'all had a great Valentine's Day!

No school or work...weird...

Well i switched shifts with a girl from work that needs to attend a funeral tomorrow, so I don't have to work today and seeing that I only go to school on Tuesday and Thursday, it's weird to be home...and not have be somewhere at a specific time. I LOVE IT! Ha ha...

Today i went to Mark's office for a birthday lunch for the secretary there. We ate Johnny Carino's and it was so delicious! Mmmmm....I might go camping down in Galveston if the weather permits and I feeling like driving. But we can discuss this later.

The weather this week has been pretty dang beautiful! It's been around 65 degrees. So we've been out playing and what not and it's fantastic! Leilani's been learning to rollerblade. She's so hilarious; such a hoot to watch! Miss Mia is learning to ride her bike. She gets scared but she can ride really well as long as she just keeps peddling. As for Aidyn, she's getting so big and talking like a champ. We sing songs and run around like crazy people and this is why I would rather hangout at home then go out with my friends. Ha ha...oh also! Rachel wrote Rosie an e-mail stating that they were going to come and visit! YEAH!!! I couldn't be more excited to see Ro, Rach, and the little girls!

Oh also Oliver's 2nd birthday was this week and I kept thinking oh I need to blog and put up some pictures of him...but I never had the time to do so. So I'm doing it now...HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLLIE FACE! We sure love you! Hope to see you all soon!

She finally came

Well seeing that I'm still an on and off blogger, I still haven't written about when mom came to visit last week. I think that this is the first time that she's been to Texas since Aidyn was born. Having mom hear was a total blast and also a major distraction. Ha ha...I think I only studied one day that she was here and it was only because I had an anatomy and physiology II exam. Most of the fun occurred when I was at school or work, but we did go bowling before I had to go to work one day! It was so much fun! We bowled with bumpers because of the kids and quite frankly the adults needed them as well. Most of us bowled around the 100-120 area, not very good, and the kids had so much fun! I don't have very many pics from bowling, mostly mom and Rosie were going out of control with the pics, so I only one of Nani and Ai.

We Also got to go shopping while mom was here and buy her some new clothes! She went home with many cute things. :D Umm...while I wasn't there the fam bam and mom went to Papasitos, music lessons, the dental office, and other places. But I don't really have all the details on that. The day before mom left we went to go and eat Lunch with Nani at school. It was nice to have the girls all together. :D COME BACK SOON MAMA! We Love you!

sorry to keep y'all waiting....

Okay, so a while ago I promised y'all the bathtub story. So here it goes...

I was in the bathroom helping with the kiddos and little Miss Leilani Lawton (she's seven and so mischevious) wants her Daddy (Mark) to throw me into the bathtub. (What?!?! When did helping out turn into punishment? ) So Leilani is egging Mark on and so, like always, I give Mark a hard time about it. Taunting him supposedly. So I'm sayin things like "There's no way you can throw me in the tub, I work at Sam's Club." Just joking around. Mark took the taunting as a challenge and began to take me out and into the bathtub. At first he tried to contain me in the master bathroom, so I began to run. He stops me not far from there so I'm running around the room like crazy person, not wanting to be thrown into the bathtub. From what I can recall, i tried to use the bed as a barrier, then jumped on the bed, Mark grabbed my foot and i'm hanging onto the bed for dear life, then I think he picked me up but I was squirming too much for him and fell back onto the bed. I got somewhat free and ran a little further to get caught again. I tried getting my wrist free but it wasn't working very well. By this time i'm in the doorway to the master bathroom and I'm grabbing onto walls and door frames to keep from entering. Mark was flustered by this time. So I somewhat get away and he grabs my arm with the watch which gets stuck to his ring and I'm doomed. Next thing i know I'm in the bathtub with the Lawton girls. All four of them. As you can see in the picture below Leilani (on the far right) is incredibly excited by the fact that I am now in the tub with them. Aidyn (left of Leilani) was pretty distraught and scared about the whole situation because well, I'm her favorite auntie and doesn't like it when people are attempting to "hurt" me. As always Mia is just chillin. Ha ha...I love how relaxed she is. So pretty much--Mark is a punk, Leilani is the deceptive sweetheart, and fortunately Aidyn still loves me. All is well is Texas. :D

The Joy of Car Washes

Hmm...

Well I don't know why I enjoy car washes so much, but I do. I remember when I lived in Utah I would take my car to Super Sonic Car Wash probably once a week and get Eddie (that's my car) all cleaned up. Ha ha...I love the big brushes and the soap/wax that gets squirted on the car with all the array of colors. Most of all I love the shiny-ness of the vehicle post car wash. :D Since many of you never see pictures of me anymore, just rosie's family, here is me at the carwash. The first one is a "Too bad Nani-Buns isn't here in the car with me to taking funny pictures" and the second is a cheeser...'cause that's what I do best.
