Excited but getting Nervous..

This weekend will be babygirls first softball tournament of the year.  Excited as it will be in Vegas against 10u teams from Nevada, Cali, Arizona, Idaho and Colorado.  But nervous as we haven't really played any teams outside of Utah.  Well aside from the 1 cali and 1 hawaii team in Mesquite.  Our two 10u teams are the only ones coming from Utah.  So this will be a big test for the girls.  I know those teams will give it to us good and make the girls work hard.  I can't wait to see the action on the field.  I really wanna see how the girls fare against other girls playing ball.  I hope I can report they did their best and gave it their all.  Win or Lose!!!  Best of luck to each team but especially our Hot Shotz teams. 

And its a plus that the WAC basketball tournament is going on too.  We'll get to go cheer on cuzzie Franny #44 and her Utah State Lady Aggies.  The are #2 in the WAC conference.  And we're hoping they make it all the way and be tournament champs.  But of course!! Ha!!  Bring home the win Aggies!!


Its gonna be a fun weekend in Vegas with the whole fam.  Win or Lose on the field/court and the casino (Ha!) its gonna be on and poppin with the whole fam there. 

Happy Weekend!!!!

Chillin on a Sunday afternoon

DaisyGirl loves to do hair for fun. She was proud of what she did to Jerzy's hair. ;) and Jerzy was really loving it too.. So cute to watch and see what lil things keep these lil girls entertained. I hope they enjoy the Quality Time as much I do. #cousins #qualitytime #girleeGirls

Boy am I glad its not Saturday..

Today is Friday and the start of the weekend. Boy am i glad its not Saturday. We were busy crazy with our softball girls fundraiser. Hot lunch plate. What were we thinking..haha We started prep Thursday, woke up before sunrise to began cooking and shouted for show when all was done Friday afternoon. Who knew that doing all that would be such hard work. But we are overwhelmed by the support we received from family and friends. We didn't have to do much to get our plates sold. Lucky for us school was out. It was good to get the girls out there helping out.. I mean it is for them right?!! Truly blessed it was a success and truly blessed to have such an awesome support group.. Now I can just chill and enjoy my Saturday..

So camera shy this guy.. He was the biggest helper over all.. I know he did not like being the only boy there amongst all the crazy lil girls and demanding adults. Haha. Not once did he complain although you could see it in his face.. Thank you son.. You are the best big brother supporter ever.. I know DaisyGirl appreciates you eventhough she doesn't tell you. :)

The girls who we do all this for.. Better appreciate it cause IDK that there will be more.. hahaha

All the crazy lil girls we had over the weekend.. Crazy as it was, they knew when not to be in the kitchen and in the way. Love these lil diva's..

Happy March..

Can't believe that it is already March of 2012...Yikes!!  I swear it was just New Years last week.  ;)  Time is going by too fast.  I need to slow down and take it easy..is it even possible!!  Anyhoo, I totally failed the #febphotoaday.  So I'm gonna try again in March.. haha.  #Marchphotoaday

Franky boy..

LOL @ his cut off tee.

This is his dad's downtime outfit.

So he decided to dress his son just like him.

Too funny...

Feeling the love..

I love to see the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ bless and change the lives of people.  For years my sis and BIL haven’t always been the best at living the gospel.  We all prayed and hoped that when they were good and ready, they will embrace it and love it.  Although they had their struggles they always made sure that their kids were attending church and tried their best to help them make the right choices.  Their oldest son Myles has been the biggest supporter of his parents and probably prayed and hoped the hardest for his parents.  Along with my parents.  Myles always shared his feelings of his love of the savior and the teachings of the gospel.  Always shared his desire to be a Forever Family.  W/in the last year his dad has been influenced by family and friends to change his life.  And with that choice, you see my sis also changing and helping her family.  It really is a joy to see.  But even more joyful to see Myles and his siblings with the look of excitement for their parents.  He could not stop saying how the last few months have made him sooo happy and proud and excited for his family.  This Sunday we were able to hear their family share songs and testimonies and talks in sacrament meeting.  The topic of their message was Emulating our Heavenly Parentage.  I was overwhelmed with the spirit as I listen to each of them share their feelings and experiences on how they have struggled but felt the love and blessing as they strived to do live the examples of the savior.  It truly is a blessing and time of celebration for my whole extended family.  They have been such great examples and in that short time have influenced us all to try harder to be obedient and to live the word of God.  Thank you Tapusoa family for your great examples!!!  We are soo happy for the blessings to come and are sooo proud of you all!!

BOW hairdo

My kids are always on YouTube every chance they are allowed to be online. Today DaisyGirl found a clip on how to do a bow in your hair. Here it is .... LOL. And she did it all by herself ;)

I am such a clutz

Twice today I misplaced my iPad.
I take it to read my book while I walk the treadmill. My sis went with me today so we got to chatting and then 20 minutes in i remember my iPad. Panic . My brain back tracking my every move. Told Hubs that he had it last..lol. He goes to the car and looked and looked. Then I remembered i had it at the front desk. Sure enuf it's right there with the guy. Wooh..what a relief.
We went grocery shopping after the rec. I had my shopping list in it so I took it in with me. Yadayada. Put shopping in the car. Got home, started dinner. Cleaned a lil bit. A hour later I wanted to play online. Oh snap..no iPad. I didnt remember grabbing it from the cart. Asked the kids if they grabbed it. Nope. Got in my car and rushed to the store. Checked the carts where we parked..nada. Went inside and they didn't have it.. Right im really panicked.. Babygirl runs in yelling 'I found it'. What a relief. It was there in the cart. She saw something black from a distance in the cart on the other side and ran over to check it out.
I won't say all that was going on in my mind. It's mean and I shouldn't be judgmental. Haha. Nbfr. I'm just glad I found itand didn't have to tell a lil white lie to my hubs who worked hard so I could have this lil materialistic thang that I love .. Ha!!!

Responsibility

This was shared by my trainer in my Time Mgmt class at work today..

There was an importang job to be done and EVERYBODY was asked to do it.  EVERYBODY was sure that SOMEBODY would do it.

ANYBODY could have done it, but NOBODY did it.  SOMEBODY got mad about it because it was EVERYBODY'S job.

EVERYONE thought that ANYBODY could do it, and NOBODY realized that EVERYBODY wouldn't do it.

It ended up that EVERBODY blamed SOMEBODY when actually NOBODY blamed ANYBODY.

My family does this all the time.  :( Definitely need to be better at getting it done.

Either do it yourself or delegate and follow up.

VDay

No biggie for us. But we will usually splurge on this day for dinner. This year it was dinner at Rodizio Grill and dessert at Maggie Moo's. That's it..

But what made it extra special was my daisygirl. She just loves holidays. Wether big or small. And this VDay was no different. She smiled from ear to ear. Gave me a lil present and then gave her daddy a lil love note. Tear tear. She is so very thoughtful and sweet. That was the best part of the day. It truly is special to feel that much LOVE from my babygirl. Really an amazing feeling.
