Say Cheese!

We are taking the little cousins for pics in the park tomorrow.
If all goes well, I will post some tomorrow afternoon! :)

10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1...

Blast Off!

That's the new game Alex has taught Nicolas. Alex will do a countdown from 10, making Nic repeat every number (and most he gets right!)... and then after Alex says 1, Nic yells "Blast off!"
And then jump around the room. It's really too cute.

Well, crazy us decided to try the heated pool this morning. It was warmer than frigid, but I am not sure I would call it "heated"... We only stayed for about 30 minutes, then Nic starting turning blue. Not really of course. :) It was nice to play around for a bit. We will be going every Sunday morning as long as the weather permits.

The kids are now in the shower and Nic just about fully defrosted. We will be having a PB&J lunch, and then I have dinner to plan and cook. I am thinking chicken, but we will see.

Our goal this week is to have a salad each night, and then a little something on the side; maybe a baked potato, or mini-bun-less cheese burgers. It's so tough to eat even half-way healthy on a budget. But we are trying.

Make it a great day!

Oh, we will be sore in the morning!

What a great day! We rode our bikes to a park a few miles away (maybe 2?) and really enjoyed the beautiful weather. The ride was great going there - and tough coming back! lol...

The kids had a ball. I am a bit pink! ;) And Marcos did a great job toting Nic in his new trailer.

After our ride and our Subway lunch, I went with my girlfriend, Lisa, to Old Navy. We bought a few summer dresses and tank tops! It was sooo much fun to be around her. We hadn't seen each other in a while. She has a 13 year old son, too. That's how we met, in fact. They were friends first. Anyway, we had a blast.

I went and picked up some last minute things for Isabel's first Softball practice which is on Tuesday... and then Isabel and I did some grocery shopping.

It's been a long and enjoyable day!

I am happy.

Nic's New Ride

Marcos took Nic shopping this morning.








Nic was happy!






















Nic says "Safety First!"





Nic wants to know where the gas pedal is!

We will let you know how our first ride goes (it's scheduled for the morning.)
:)

BS 2: A Work in Progress

I am excited to announce that we paid off two more credit cards this morning.
This getting out of debt stuff is hard work - but oh-so-worth it.
I honestly don't look at credit cards in the same light anymore. I know how much it hurts to pay the suckers off - charging just doesn't sound much like fun anymore.

Lesson learned!

Almost, but not Quite

I got three numbers on the Arizona Lottery last night; the Pick.

$3 richer!

He Survived

and so did I!

Nicolas did an awesome job at daycare yesterday! He didn't really want to leave!

Let's see how today goes!

Last night I took the kids out to Taco Bell for dinner as a treat. We then stopped by one of our (many) old neighborhoods and called on a friend and her son. Alexander and her son (also Alexander) were friends in the 4th or 5th grade.

It was REALLY nice to see her - we made plans for some Old Navy shopping in the very near future.
