April 2011

Well, I could pretend that its new for me to wait MONTHS between Blogging....but it would be a lie. :) not a whole lot new has happened. Lots of pictures and Fun memories, but not anything crazy! The boys have 4 weeks till they are out of school and they are SOOO excited. Dominik did turn 4. Just as crazy as he was at 3! lol Love that kid. Jesse is back in Soccer and Collin just started t-ball again. Am very excited for summer, but otherwise had a million birthdays in March as usual including my own. 28...closing in on 30...whew...it is freaking crazy! I am starting to write a book and I am so excited about it. I am hoping it goes well and I can stay motivated to do it. So far the couple people that I have thrown it at have loved it, we'll see. It will just be fun to finish it no matter what happens. But here are the pictures from the last few months.

Wow, has it been that long...really?? lol

Well I have to say the last time I wrote on here it wasn't so bad. But sure enough god saw fit to throw test after test at us after that. They are still coming, but I am happy to report that they are getting smaller!! :) I am not an idiot, I know life will never be a walk in the park, but easier...yeah that I am thankful for. I don't think that anymore babies are in our future, since the doc told us we have some issues that pretty much cannot be fixed. But we have three amazing boys that are perfect, so thats really whats important. I know it sounds like I am trying to convince myself right? Well I am not. I promise. I mean I have wanted a girl since I was 6, even mom can tell you that, but for whatever reason, god saw fit to surround me with boys my entire life. :) I think I do need to at least get a female dog at some point though. lol!!

Speaking of my boys, they are doing awesome! Well...Collin and Dom do have teeth problems, but other than that...lol!! Poor Dominik has to get his 3 front teeth pulled. I would feel worse about it, but we brush his teeth twice a day, even taught our 3 yr old to use mouth wash...but him and his sweet fetish...he was bound to get in trouble with those teeth! lol Seriously if your ever over at my house and have some type of drink or sweet watch your back he is SOOOO SNEAKY!!! :) Collin is doing SOOO great in school. He has made some MAJOR big steps and improved almost every subject. Jesse, well he's 9. Thinks he knows everything, talks back more than anyone I know, but on the same token SOOO SMART, responsible and has the biggest heart. Such a little me! lol well at least the first part. ;) I totally blame that on mom too. She always told me that she wished I would have a child just like me, well I got him! Freaking LOVE that kid. Austin is still a supervisor over Direct TV installations. He is doing a lot better as well, I am hoping all the medical stuff with him is done, because I am exhausted!! He has been such a great help lately though! I can't imagine my life with anyone else.

My niece was born on November 14th!! Stephanie Baena!! So beautiful and perfect. And Kai is crawling and smiling and laughing. And then there was another one on January 6th! Addison Lee White! I may not get my own daughter, but all my nieces can certainly fill the void to a point!! :) I really do have the most beautiful nieces in the world, and yeah I might be biased, but it is true. I can prove it!! hehe

So other than that, just same old same old around here at the Fivas house. No other big news. But you should check out the above pics..... :)

Summer Continues Even When School's Almost In!! :(

I never imagined that I would be freaked out about the boys starting school again...but I am NOT excited! Its giving me anxiety like no one's business! lol Its weird cause I have always just been so excited for them to be in elementary cause it was my fav! I made some of my bestest friends there. But it also means that 2 out of our 3 kids is in school full-time! So freakin weird. And Summer has been so much fun, and we are just NOT ready for it to end. But the truth is we still have some summer adventures left and I am sure when Mondays over this anxiety will begin to go away...or at least I hope. Dominik wasn't thrilled about summer pre-school either...so we are hoping watching both brothers leaving everyday will bring back his want to go to school!

Last week we had a couple of our best friends in town to visit and for their anniversary. Just like with everytime we see them it was a blast! Except they got to see Utah instead of us being in another country or with them in Ohio. And as much as I could put into the 4 days they were here, we did. We went to Wendover, Boating, downtown, and they even spent 3 days in Park City for their actual anniversary. One of the days Val insisted on us going to see Chelsea Handler and I am glad we went, it was a lot of fun! And she was hilarious. It really was a great week and I can't wait till we're able to hang out with them again.

Austin turns 32 next Friday!! And he doesn't want to make any plans. He is the BIGGEST home body I have ever known. lol He did the same thing on Fathers day. But what can you say when its their birthday right?

The only other up-date for now is that my brother Cheyo and his wife Heidi are having a girl. They are planning on naming her Stephanie and she is due in November. Just like with Kai...I cannot wait. At least this time I know what the sex of the baby is! lol

Summer

The boys are having a blast with their summer. We are trying to make it as fun as possible for them. Lots of swimming, zoo, and days at the park. :) The older boys are enjoying the no school but Collin cannot wait to "eat lunch at school". lol Dominik is funny with pre-school. He leaves crying everyday cause he says he doesn't want to go, only to come home saying "Mommy I had so much fun!!!" haha I posted the video of Dom's first time swimming alone, with his floaties of course.
And I am happy to report that Eclipse sooooo kicks the other Twilight movies butt! I think I am going to have to watch that in the theater a few more times.

Listen to MarFivas03s Playlist

Talk about 180's...lol

Where to start with everything... well sugar coating it won't help so her a goes... (: Jamo's ended up being too much. It just wasn't worth it in the end. It was hard to leave because I left a lot of people I didn't want to. Including the best cousins. But I needed to come back home. It was rocky at first because it meant rearranging a lot of things with my daycare, but it really was for the best. Coming back made make hard decisions that I should have made and faced a long time ago! One things for sure, I missed my boys and daycare kids SOOOO much! We are having so much fun and learning different things everyday! I don't think I could be happier with how things are going with it.

My boys are out of school and LOVING the later bed time. They think they are so cool! haha Dominik however started summer pre-school this week and also thinks he's the coolest! But who we kidding, they are! lol :) I have been making them read or practice different flash cards for at least an hour a day. They hated the idea at first, but they are starting to come around. Jesse is SUCH a good reader and we are just trying to play on that as much as possible. Collin rocks at Math, so letting them have fun with what they are good at and trying to get them to work on what they are not is the challenge. Overall though I am going to try and give them a fun summer.

My brother Bobby's baby was born on Tuesday! It was a girl, Kai Nicole Baena. 5lbs, 6oz and 18 inches long! She is beautiful! I will post pics when I can. My bestie Heather J got married on May 29th, and my brother Cheyo and his wife are expecting as well! Babies and marriages all over the place it seems. :)

So there have been lots of little changes going on, but we're loving life and getting through the tuff stuff best we can. I will write more when I have more up-dates! I can say one more thing....I AM SOOOO EXCITED FOR ECLIPSE IN 19 DAYS!!! lol Don't judge me. :)

So lets see, Ohio was a freakin blast!!! lol But when your hanging out with awesome people how could it be anything but! :) Val and Jonny are coming here in August for their 1 yr anniversary so that will be fun. But between them Austin and some great people in Ohio. it was THE BEST birthday ever!!!!
Around the Fivas house not a lot of huge updates. The boys are growing VERY anxious for summer. Totally counting down. Robin and her sister April had their babies! Robins turned out to be a girl! They named her Kyra. and April's son is named Ryken. Bobby and Sharise still have a couple months before we know what they are having. Austin is doing same ol same ol with his job. There is a job change in my future. But that we'll leave for another blog day! hehe Still no luck with getting pregnant. We're still gonna try, but not thinking so much about it anymore. Dominik is about to start a summer program for his preschool! Then he starts officially in August. He is SOOO excited. Always asking everyday if he can go. Collin has started T-ball. And he like everything else says he likes it but doesn't care if he keeps it up or not. He is totally my go with flow child. We are signing Jesse up for Soccer and he is so ready. He practices everytime its warm. Here are some pics of the last few months.
