Again?

So, unlucky me has mastitis AGAIN. I am feeling terrible.. I went to the doc yesterday, and I had a fever of 104.. When I woke up this morning it was 103. I can't believe I got it twice. It totally sucks. Anyways.. Just wanted everyone to know how lousy I am feeling.. Talk to you soon. S

BUT I DON'T WANNA GO!

Thats what I am feeling right now.. I do not want to go to the soccer game today! It is freakin freezing out. I am even cold IN MY HOUSE! GRRR. When will the sun be out? Only 3 more games until the end of the season. Thank goodness!

Blah b blah b blah blah blah

Not much new here.. Just getting back into the swing of things at work, and trying to keep up the house and dinners. It is so hard to be a working mom sometimes. I know, cry me a river.. or, would you like some cheese with that whine.. I am really wishing that I could stay home with my girls right now, but at the same time, I am very blessed to have the job I have. It was nice to get a paycheck the otherday, but I would much rather get paid in baby smiles. Oh well, it is what it is.

And in Peyton news, we have a roller! She is rolling over both ways now. She rolled over for the 1st time from front to back while we were on vacation, and then just last week she rolled from back to front. The girl is also the biggest flirt! If you just catch her eye at all, she will smile at you. And not just any smile either. A GREAT BIG toothless grin. I love it!

Maddy is great, doing fantastic in school. Just about ready to move on up into the
1st grade! Crazy isn't it. Alex will be going into 4 pre-school in the fall as well. Just this afternoon, after Maddy was done with her reading homework she has everynight, Alex came up to me and told me she wanted to "read" it to me as well. Not thinking anything of it, I said, "sure kid, come on over" and what does she do? READS the entire thing! Ok ok, I know she probably memorized what Maddy had said, and the pictures helped, but still.

So, that's it for now. See ya, S

Tagged

So my friend Leah Tagged me the other day. I have never been tagged before so I am going to do it! Yay!

10 Years Ago..

Wow, 10 years ago I was a jr in high school, swimming like a fish, working at the pool as a lifeguard & swimming instructor & who knows what else. I actually HATED my Jr year in highschool. It was, and still is the worst year of my life. I only had one good friend that year. Jaime. She was my best friend, and I would still consider her one of my best friends today. Thanks J! (oh, Sr. year was MUCH better. I met Trav & life was good again.)

5 Things on my To Do List Today..

1. Go to Church.. Check
2. Do my daughters laundry.. Small Check
3. Take a nap.. CHECK. Ah that was nice!
4. Get ready for Maddy's soccer game tomorrow. No Check yet. I will get to it later.
5. Make Dinner. No Check yet.

Snacks I enjoy..

Oranges
Nachos (or chips and salsa)
Bryers Mint Choc Chip Ice cream milkshakes
Choc cake
I could honestly go on and on. I love snacking.

What would I do if I suddenly became a billionaire

I would quit my job to stay home with my 3 daughters. I would probably have my tubes untied and have a couple more kids too. I love my babies! Well, maybe I would adopt instead. I would give my house away, and build the home of my dreams. Actually I would probably build a few homes of my dreams. One in Mac, close to family, one in Hawaii, one in Anaheim right next door to Disneyland, and one somewhere else. Not sure where. I would pay off everyone in my immediate families mortgages, and buy a house for those in my immediate fam, who don't own a house.. I would take all of my friends on a cruise to the Caribiean. I would eventually go back to school to become a nurse. And I would buy a REALLY nice new Camera! And give some to my Church. Probably a whole lot more, but I don't want to think about it anymore. :-)

3 of my bad habbits

1. I bite my nails.. Gross I know. It's a nervous habit.
2. I like to sleep in on the weekends. I make Maddy get her & Alex's breakfast usually. Don't call CDS!
3. I listen to my IPOD while driving.. I don't know if that is illegal or not, but I doubt it smart.

5 places I have lived.

1. Salem
2. McMinnville
3. Sheridan
Sorry guys that's it..

5 jobs I have had.

1. Lifeguard & Swimming instructor
2. Title Clerk for a car dealership
3. Records girl
4. Underwriter 1 (this perhaps was the shortest job I have ever held.. I decided to go back to my old job for certain reasons, but it was MY decision!
5. Commercial Lines Rater.

5 Things people don't know about me.

1. I get frustrated very easily
2. I really don't like to talk on the phone.
3. I am a closet Dancer.. I LOVE TO DANCE! I just wish I was good at it. Which I am not. Hence the reason I am a closet dancer.
4. I would love to be a Midwife someday. What a happy job that would be! I know there are occasionally the tragedies, but you get to bring life into the world. How awesome is that!
5. I want to adopt a little boy. I don't care from where, but I know that I would love him just as much as I do my daughters.

So, that's that. I am going to "tag" the only people I know of who read my blog..
1. Charity

See ya all later! Stace

What's my name Momma?

I am sure my baby girl Peyton would ask that question above if she could talk. The poor girl has so many nicknames! Let's see if I can name them all right now.
1. Peypers
2. Pey Pey La Pue
3. Tooter McGavin
4. Pey
5. P
6. Boogers
7. Punchkin
8. Punchkin Munchkin
9. P Dogg

That's all I can think of right now. But don't you agree we are probably confusing the poor thing! I just took her in for her 4 month well baby check today. She is healthy as can be and growing like a weed! Today she is 15 lbs 5 oz, 25 1/2 tall, with a 16 1/2 head. Her weight is in the 90th percentile, her length is in the 85-90th percentile, and her head is in the 70th percentile. She received 4 shots, poor thing. Alex had to get 3 shots today too. That wasn't fun at all. Because she KNEW what to expect. She did great though, and got a sucker, which made her very happy.

Thats it for now. See ya all later! S

Disney recap.. Finally!

So I am finally getting around to posting about our wonderful trip to Disneyland! We all had a fantastic time. The girls were all amazing. Not one problem that was so bad I remember it. :-) It was awesome! The first night/day, was exhausting. The hotel we stayed at the night before our flight was nice, but the beds were horrible! I can honestly say I did not get one hour of sleep that night. We were up & going at 3:00 a.m for our 6:30 flight. We thought we needed to be there extra early seeing as it was the 1st day of spring break. And we were sort of right. We, for the most part, breezed right through security. Which, with 3 small kiddo's, was a pain in booty! We got to LA around 11:50, and drove to Anaheim, where we went straight to Downtown Disney since we couldn't get into the house until 3:00, which actually turned out to be 4:00, but that's a long story. Once we got into the house, we took a small break, unpacked a little, then headed to our 1st night at Disneyland! We stayed at Disneyland until 11:00 that night. Boy were we exhausted when we were through! When we went to bed that night we crashed!

On Sunday, which happend to be Easter Sunday, we went to California Adventures for the day. Getting there at 10:00 staying until they closed at 10;00. It was alot of fun!

Monday, was Trav & my's 7th wedding anniversary. And we were at Universal Studios. We met up with Heather, Austin's girlfiend that day. We went to this place called IFLY, which is indoor skydiving. It was AWESOME! The afternoon at Universal, felt like a waste of money. It felt like we spent more time in traffic getting there, then in the actual park.

Tuesday, Miss Maddy's 6th Birthday, was spent at Disneyland, and then at California Adventures where we had dinner with the princesses.. What a WASTE of money! All 10 of us went, and the total bill was over $450.00! I couldn't believe it. Oh well, the girls enjoyed it, and that is the important part.

Wed, was at Sea World! That was a ton of fun. Alex LOVES the dolphins! I think I may have a marine biologist on my hands. She pet some of them, and just couldn't get enough. Grandma and Grandpa bought her a stuffed dolphin, that she named Diego, and she would make him do the tricks that she saw the real dolphins doing. Unfourtunatly she lost Diego somewhere between the rental house and home.. Not sure where. My dad saved the day and ordered her another one from Sea World.com. So she will have him in a couple of days. :-) Thanks DAD!

Thursday & Friday we were back at Disneyland. We totally took advantage of our last two days there, fitting in as much as possible. I had such a great time with my family! Yay! I just wish I hadn't been SO croweded. Hopefully when we go back we will pick a better time to visit. Like the 1st week of December in 2013.. When Peyton turns 6.. Hmmm.. Better start saving!

Miss Peyton is 4 months old!

Our little miss Peyton is 4 months old already! She is growing like a weed, and is such a happy girl. She has now rolled over, and is wanting really badly to sit up on her own. I am still nursing her too. What a blessing that is! She started daycare on April 1st, and it doing great there. I wish I could stay home with my girls, but I can't so back to work I went. The first week back was really hard, but it is over now, so that's good right?! Anyways, here are some pictures I took of Peyton on 4/2/08, her 4 month birthday.. Enjoy! Stace
