Weirdness!! A hundred or so ants, most of them dead!

After having a late breakfast with the kids, when i was thinking of cleaning i discovered what looked like a great exodus of ants by my front door! A hundred or so, most of them not moving with a few twitching and a couple of live ones. And a very happie spider. All of which were vacuumed up. It was like they were all running from something. Just weird! This apartment has had issues with ants since before we came here almost four years ago, but I've never seen this before. One of my guesses is that our neighbors were sprayed for our little guests and since we haven't been yet and we share a very active ant wall they ran for our apartment. But they wont be safe for long! Because we will be sprayed next week! MU HA HA HA HA!!!!! :) In a Good way! :)

I will post some pictures later :)

Happie Day of Birth Eric!!!! :) We wish we could be there celebrating with you!

We Love you LOTS!!!!! :)

Daddio sending Happie thoughts your way :) on this verie Special Day!!! :)

Happie Day of Birth!!! We Love You!!!!!!! :)

Happie Momma's Day to Momma's and future Mommas on this Earth and the Heavens above!!!!! :)

This is my updated Mommie picture joshie makes me every Momma's Day! :) He's So CUTE!!!!!!! :)

what a funnie feeling day :) i've felt so week and tired that putting frozen chicken nuggets on a plate and putting it in the microwave was almost exhausting! i almost fell in the bathroom after taking a shower, the shower curtain pole is what saved me. though i wouldn't have fallen very far before hitting the wall, our bathroom is not very big :) and all i've wanted to eat today is frozen yogurt, strawberries, watermelon and ramen noodles with terriyaki sauce. i'm so tired! i'm not complaining its just been a weird day :) i'm fighting a uc flare up right now too that could be why i am so exhausted :)

sam is crawling EVERY WHERE now!!! :) and he is already standing with the help of the coffee table and then reaching and moving to the coach to where i am :) earlier today when i was taking a nap, i left him in the living room with joshie and within a few minutes he had made it down the hallway and was crying infront of our bedroom door :) sam is So CUTE!!!!! :)

Family Swimming Fun!!!!! :)

( this video is from my phone, so it isnt the best quality, but its still fun :)

last night while i was dreaming about the house we will eventually have and how to have medium size trees growing in our living room and bedroom i had a Wonderful thought! i want to grow butterflies!!!!! :) it would be something i could involve the children in and would help us out financially when we set up shop for those who would like to release some prettie butterflies at their wedding!!! :) im not sure what kinds of butterflies would be best yet. i still have to do some more research, but i am so EXCITED!!!!!!! :)

thurday was a verie fun day!! :) i walked & jogged to my swimming class, which is a little over a mile :) i remember mumbling to myself about 10 minutes or so after taking off, who's bright idea was this?! i wasnt sure i would make it before my class :) but luckily i did :) hopefully i'll do even better next time! :)

i got to class a bit early and purchased some swim diaper covers for the kids :) the guy was really nice but gave me a funnie look when i asked for three swimmers :) in a good way, i think he was just surprised :) then it was time for class :)

the kids and joshie met me afterwards for swimming :) that was the real fun!!! :) the kids had a blast!!! and i was able to show joshie what i have been doing in class :)

and later that night little samuel started crawling!!!!! :) that makes me so happie! though i dont quite feel that i am ready to chase after 3 just yet! :) the videos that i'm posting is of me trying to convince samuel to crawl! :) i think it only took about four tries! :)

sasm is such a strong boy! while i was typing he grabbed onto my shirt and pulled himself up from a sitting position to standing! :) for a moment or two then fell down on his bum!!! :)

wow families are AWSOME!!!!!!! :)

today is our 10th Prom Anniversary!!!!! :) our Senior Prom was the start of it all!!! :) we still display our pictures in the living room :) i still find myself happilie sighing when i think of Prom!!! :)

( a few of the pictures are not from the actual day but the month of. there are still some pictures we need to scan in :) for the years 2ooo & 2001 joshie was serving a 2 year mission for the LDS church in the Philippines! :) i sent him special happie prom letters!!!!!!! :)

I Love you Babie!!!!!!! :)

so today was an exciting day :) joshie is on his way to take one of his last finals! :) YAY!!! :) no more school for the summer :) we have been acomplishing a lot in our efforts of making our tiny apartment not so tiny feeling and getting it good and clean! :) also today i worked on facing one my fears :) yep today was the first day of my adult swimming lessons!!! every tuesday and thursday untill may 14th! my goal is to be able to swim well enough that i can swim and play comfortably in the water with the children and joshie :)



so i was a bit really a lot nervous on my way to class! :) in a good way :) on the way i felt nervous, excitement with a little bit a fear mixed all together in my tummy :) i am Really afraid of being in water above my chest and if i feel myself start to lose my footing and start to float a little i REALLY freak out! today when i sat down and slid into the water that went up to my chest i thought my heart had stopped for a moment :) as i practiced blowing bubbles through my nose, dunking my head down into the water and attempting to float a little all while holding onto the wall, i started to become more comfortable in the water :) it also helped that my instructer was so nice and patient :) she said i did really well today i just need to relax :) so i think that i will spend some extra time in the water before class :)



im prettie excited!!! :) the kids joshie and i will be getting pool passes for the year so we will start playing in the pool after my classes :)


this summer is going to be GREAT!!!!!!!! :)
