If you are in a meeting ..please take your child out of sacrament if your child is crying out of the top of his or her lungs!
First is very rude to the person that is giving the talk and very annoying to the people that wants to listen!
yeah yeah yeah! I'm getting old so what? ......

2011-04-05T06:40:00.000-07:00

Oh boy time just go by soooo fast!
this morning when I got up Chelsea and Blake where dress with their Sunday best! they had a meeting with the diamond club from school in down town today!

And it got me thinking how fast time goes by..It seems like yesterday Chelsea and Blake were just two little baby's running in diapers all over the house! now they are running out of the house to make sure to be on time to their meeting!

temple trip..almost there...

2010-10-18T07:36:00.000-07:00

Hannah went to the temple for the first time this past Saturday!...yay!
I feel like almost there , because in August next year we will be able to go as a family once Dylan turns twelve..can not wait!

WHY.. WHY.. WHY ! ?

2010-10-07T15:43:00.000-07:00

Walking with Ruben at the park is a challenge for the first hr.!!!
-Why does he think he needs to stop every ten step?
-why he think he needs to pee on each tree?
-why does he wants to walk faster than I can?..uhh..maybe he knows something that I do not know?..just wondering..
-Why it seems like he never gets tired?
-Why he think he can chase every dog at the park?
-Why I love him soo much?....he is happy every single time he sees me!

Ruben,Ruben,Ruben....What to do with you?

2010-07-08T21:21:00.000-07:00

OK for the last few weeks I though I had cover every single gap on the back yard to keep Ruben there....but... oh no some how he can find his way out!
Is funny, we leave the house ..and when we make it back home who do you think is on the front of the house sitting on the porch?
The only thing that keeps me from being mad at him...is that he is a very sweet dog and he lets you know how happy he is to see you!

Too long without bloggin

2010-07-06T07:26:00.000-07:00

Here we go....yes I am gonna blog again..just to make sure I have some kind of family history...I should be taking note of some of the milestone of my family...so I hope I get going with this.

I'm a pioneer women!!! a least that's what I think

2009-01-02T20:01:00.000-08:00

Here are some of my pictures of my fabulous day as a pioneer women..that's how I felt!

I use all the stuff I have at home to make my bread and my fresh lemonade!!

My neighbor across street was so nice to shared all their lemons , grapefruits and oranges with my family, they have the trees in their back yard and for the last two year they have share their fruit with us since we move here!! ( what a blessing)

I could not help it to see how big their lemons are! almost as big as their grapefruit!!, in the pitcher is the pure juice of two and half lemons...did I forgot to tell you I also made a really good lemon pie?!!

So let's see what would I will be baking tomorrow!

I have the kid grinding wheat.. they think is fun until they realize they are doing some work :)

(Thank you Ann Beck.... for giving me the grinder)

Yummy rolls and drinks!!

TO BLOG OR NOT TO BLOG

2008-10-03T21:40:00.000-07:00

I have been thinking about this blog thing for a while.. I wasn't to sure if I wan to keep blogging, and after a a month or so , I though I need to blog , just to keep some kind of record or journal for my family. And what really got me about blogging is this:

two years ago I lost my citizenship certificated , I have look for the darn papers all over the old house before we move and I though for sure I would find them!!

but not I was so freaking wrong!! ( who in the world would loose a document so important?....oh let me guess ..uh....ME! )

Now here is where my problem starts, if I would had a journal or blog or whatever !! I could had writing about the day I went to be sworn and became a citizen of this country and could had send a form for a copy ... but oh nooo!! in the form one of the questions is What day and year did you became a citizenship? hello!!! do I remember? NO!!! , you will think I could remember that day..... is just like I was born again!! and not only that , if I sent the form and is incomplete or missing something I would have to fill another one...and not just that It will cost me and extra $ 385.00

so if I do it wrong the first time and I have to sent it for a second time that will be almost $800.00 dollars!!

All just because I can not remember the day I became a citizen !!!! is been impossible for me to get in touch with a real immigration agent, all I get is a stupid computer that gets me to no where!!

So I though I better write about things that I think is important for my family and this is what I've been doing for the last month or so:

1. I've working in the garage!!! looking in boxes in the hope that I can find my papers!! ( no luck yet)

Chelsea got her permit....and yes!!!I'm teaching her how to drive...I just pray for our safety and for all those that are driving around us!! :)

My Ethan just turn eleven years old!!!....... Happy Birthday!!! Love u ,Mama

Hannah banana just turn ten years old this past Set.

Sometimes I think I can be better than Martha Steward..... so I painted the faucet in the 1/2 of bathroom:

before and after ( I know I need to change the water drain stopper) :)

3. I've painted my front door!!!! I think it looks really good!! now is red instead of white!!

4. I've been reading a lots of books.....

5. I've been working out for the last six or eight weeks.... and I love it!! no photos of me yet!!!

6. THIS PAST SATURDAY I RAN MY FIRST !!!!! 5K. ( WELL FAST WALK AND RUN )

Summer is over!!!!

2008-08-10T19:48:00.000-07:00

Summer is over!!!.... kind of ... if you know, what I meant..still hot and we can still go to the beach!! and here are some of the things that I'm gonna miss:

1. No have to worried about when they have breakfast. ( is ok if they had breakfast a t 11:00 am and lunch at 3:00 no schedule was fantastic )
2. What are doing today?
3. It's late you need to go to bed...but..... mama ......it's only 11:15
4. can we go to the store to get something? (like we have a money tree)
5.getting up in the morning and just go with the flow!!!

so here to you all ....Chelsea, Blake,Ethan,Hannah and Dylan!!!

I'm gonna miss you all and how crazy the House is during the summer vacation , yes it's gonna be nice to be available to do things while you all are at school , like go groceries shopping or having the car service or paying bills...but I'm gonna miss you all a bunch...even when I said I can not wait untill you all go back to school !!! (it was just a little white lie)

You all are the love of my life and I'm grate full to heavenly father for giving me all of you to me and daddy!!!!

Have a safe new school year!! make good choices with the people you all choose to be friends with and remember let your light shine , heavenly father loves you and is there for you!!!

Have a great year!!

Love,

Mama:)

Happy birthday Dylan

2008-08-07T22:57:00.000-07:00

Dylan just turn 9 this past Saturday..and like you all know we only have birthday party on even years ,
last year when he turn 8 we did not have a party for him just because things did not workout exactly like we had plan ....which is nothing!!!
So I told him next year you will have a b-day party...well this year came, and he said he wants a real electric guitar!!!
I told him OK we will get the guitar for you and since your b-day is on Sunday we will have just cake and ice cream with us ....well he went on about how he had told Harry, Hunter and Dylan that we will have a small party with them on Saturday , so I just went like WHAT?!!

I did not want a party on that day because we just had gotten home from the beach (me,Chelsea,Hannah and Sarah Jordan) so the last thing I wanna to do... is to have a b-day party especially when you have not plane one.
Anyway he just keep nagging about it and complaining all afternoon...and I keep saying not, your b-day is tomorrow and that is that !! we will have cake and ice cream tomorrow after church ok , so the nagging went on and on .....so finally I said fine we will have cake and ice cream today...but tomorrow there will be nothing for you ok.
He was fine with that so we had the b-day party!!!! 3 friends.....he got the guitar he want it and some accessories, So the next day at church Sister Singleton and I were talking about birthdays and I told her today is Dylan b-day he is turning 9!!! , and she said oh that's good Dylan happy b-day!!
And then she continue to talk and said... I know, birdie b-day was Friday, Allie was yesterday and joey is today!!! .......and then.... she said........ Dylan b-day is not today!!!! ........it was yesterday!!!....I said, oh no is today!!!!, and she said no because Dylan and Allie share b-day!!! and her birthday was yesterday ( she said it to me so nice and sweet )so for a year or more I had my son thinking that his b-day was the 3rd of August and not the 2Nd of august like is ,my ...poor child he is going to need some serious counseling and how sad........ I could not remember my own child b-day!!!
But just to make my self feel better this is why I can not remember the dates!!! and get soooooo confuse!!
Chelsea's b-day 05-3-93
Blake's b-day 03-11-96
Ethan's b-day 10-3-97
Hannah's b-day 09-03-98
Dylan's b-day 08-02-99
I just hope I got every body right...next time I will look at the birth certificated
SO HAPPY CONFUSE BIRTHDAY DYLAN....LOVE MAMA:)

Lisanka :)

I know,I know.... I have been missed a lot!!! :)

2008-07-31T09:39:00.000-07:00

Well I do not how to start.. I guess I need to start where I left of... Vacation!!

We had a great time in Utah .. the drive was very nice and longgggg.. but it was all worth it we almost made there in two days.... but oh no... when we got to Wyoming the temp drop to 32 and it was snowing a ot yes.....snowing in the middle of Summer it was very windy and so dark at 6:00 pm I though ok we can make it we are just three hrs way from Utah...after all we been in the car just for 15 hr. so what 3 three hr is gonna do to us in the car?

Well I was so wrong... the snow got thicker and heavier and more windy....I just though oh crap I gonna have to stop and spent the night in a hotel!!! so when I decided to do that all the cheap hotels (like 75.00 or 90.00 no more you know what I mean) the big flashing sing saying NO VACANCY just made my sick!!! I though great we are going to spent the night in the car and we might be dead by morning!!!

So we found a nice Holiday inn and they had the last room 150.00 for the night by that time I could care less how much the room will cost me....because if I would have stay in the car with Dylan for one more minute I would have kill him...I do not know if he knew how tired I was and how bad he was !!!!like for the last hr before we found the hotel....I guess he should be grateful to the city of Rock spring and Holiday inn ...because by the time we got to the room all I said was go to be all of you now and yes I don't care if you go to bed with out taken a shower and brushing you teeth!!!! I was seconds from killing him!!:)

We had a good night rest...I'm sure my kids pray that night for me to be a good mom and to be back to normal :) I think it did work ....we had a nice drive for the rest of the trip we got to the welcome center in Utah and again we had snow as big as cotton balls the kids love it they though is was cool to have snow in the middle of Summer and they even try to catch some in their mouth.

It was nice to see my sister and my nices and nephew, the weather was more than fabulous not humidity how nice was that?...I know is all about me...my hair was so nice and I never got sweaty love that!!!

Chelsea got to go to yw camp and EFY and she loved it!! I would no comment about that because

I know she is gonna blog about it.

For the rest of us... we just hang out at the house and went to different place each day...We got to see the Beham and the Emmertson a few time !!! we had a blast!!

I did not take many pictures...I know I'm a looser...I just do not like to have the camera with me all the time!!!.......but I have a few pictures no much , but some ok!!

So we stay in Utah for almost 4 weeks!! it was very sad to leave ..very sad....very very sad :(

But once we got on the road to come home ..we where ready to come home, we meet the Emmertson's girls in Wyoming and we follow each other back home we spent the first night in Oklahoma at the Mitchel's home it was very nice of them let all of us to stay at their home for the night we look like refugees, there was people sleeping all over the house .

I should had taken pictures but we where so tired and got to the house in the middle of the night it was a very good night sleep and a good rest!!!

The next day we left the Mitchells and took Dianne, Bradley, Bennet and baby Ju Ju with us, I had Bradley with me in my car and the rest was with Annie!!

We had some car trouble with Annie in Texas!!! it was nothing big ...but for whatever reason it looks like no body could be a good Samaritan now days!!!...but I would like to say there where some Mexican boys that try very hard to help and the owner of the shop was rude and did not let them help us.....they felt so bad and sad that they could not help us..it was something so simple that Annie need to have done on her car!!!

So we where like three hr behind schedule her car got fix and of to the road again... we had plan to spent the night out side of Shreveport LA, when we got there I went to the bass pro shop store and shop for a while.....then I decided to drive to Mobile that night I was ready to get home..Annie and Dianne stay at the hotel in LA, and I drove stray to Mobile I got home at 2:55 am ....and boy how happy i was to sleep in my own bed!!! I have the best mattress in the wold :).....if you do not have a tempur-pidic.....I suggest save money and get one is the best splurge we have!!!

( you all will not have any regret......you all be grateful I said something about it once you get one)

So for now we are just chillin and enjoying the last few days of Summer it was a great Summer for us and I hope you all a great one just like we did!!! is nice to be home and getting into the the old routine and seeing all our friend again!!!

We just can wait to go to the beach and them.....we can say ....... we are home :)

P.S.

William ....my sweet husband thank you for trusting me with our children and having all the confident that we could make the trip with out any trouble!! and for having all the confident on me . I love you more than you know

A Second Mother's Day

2008-05-28T20:04:00.000-07:00

I know is a couple of days since I started my blog and not much had happen in my life to talk about it.
but I will start with last Saturday....William and the kids when fishing even Hannah!!!!decided to go in the very last second. she asked me before she left with them if it will be OK for her to go since this is the first time for her to go deep sea fishing in the big boat , I said yeah it will be fun!!!
after they left I was here in the house by my self!!!!.......I though I 'll go to the store and get some groceries and go and get me a new phone . I 'll look for some shoes etc. etc
a fun day for me......well guess what happen I never left the house I wash clothes ,vacuum ,iron the clothes that needed to be iron put clothes way etc . etc even cook dinner for them !!!
I would like to say it felt like mothers day for me ....William took all the kids with him and kit applegate!!! ( brave men to do that)
at first i was kind of mad because I did not get to do the shopping I wanna to do all by my self . after a while I stared to think how nice it was to do the shore at home with out any body interrupting of how nice it was to do all those things and finish!!!!
I know that I'm very fast about letting William know .....hey I did not get want.......or what I think he should had bought for me.

this weekend was good for me even though I was sick just for the fact that he took the kids with him it was very nice of him to do that.

so to my fabulous husband thank you for doing something nice for me with out knowing :) I just want him to know how much i love him ...........with all my heart!!!

like you all know school is being out today a week....... well it seems that my children can not get along at all yesterday we already had the first family meting because the name calling and the all the fighting I though for sure they will make it a least for a week .... well I guess I was so wrong!!!!
all I could think about it was .....oh my gosh we still have 60 some days left of summer ....I just hope I can keep my sanity :)

Spanish phrase of the week:

yo tengo hambre.......I'm hungry

Just because I'm sick

2008-05-23T21:58:00.000-07:00

Oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!! I can not believe I'm doing a blog!!!!

OK for all of you that keep telling me to do a blog here it is, so you all better start posting comments good comments only :) if you all need some help I'm going to give you all some ideas like: you are an awesome friend, I do not know how you can do all that you do, you must be a fantastic mom etc. ( get the idea?)
also my blog is going to be just the way I am , so if you all see some misspell word that's just me been me, I also going to see if I can teach some of you some phrases in Spanish each week,since I have to learn some English and I'm still learning , I though that it will be good for all of you to learn some Spanish .

Que piensa de esta idea?

can you all believe I asked Chelsea so what do YOU think ?
me asking her about my blog.... this is her answer.... it is not my blog, it's yours!!!
so to my child Chelsea this is what I think!!!! **@@## I'm your mother- I love you no matter what!!!!
