Extended Family...

I decided to go get Kamiah (one of my many cousin's) to come and spend a couple days with the kids and I. What a fun couple days we had. Kamiah is 2 and was such a joy to have. We can't wait until she is ready to come again.

Here is Kamiah napping. The kids wore her out. She decided she was more comfortable pushing down the sofa cushion and laying on it. Silly girl.

Here is a picture of Kamiah and I before I took her back home. I was so sad to see her go but there will be many more visits.

  

One class down... Many more to go

Well I completed my first class with a "B". I'm not too happy with myself but it is a "B" after all. Everyone has told me I am being to hard on myself, so I guess maybe I am...
I didn't realize how difficult it was going to be for me to go back to school being a single mother who works fulltime, now attends college fulltime, and still trying to find the time for some fun and stress relief in between it all. The next 8 1/2 months are going to have their ups and downs but the reward in the end is worth it all...

A Fantastic Birthday..

What a FANTASTIC 31st birthday... My birthday started off  GREAT (thanks to a couple people I work with) on Friday and then the greatness boiled over to my actual birthday (yesterday)... I spent the first half of my day with Kimberly, enjoying some quality time together, along with some Red Brick Oven Pizza (YUMMY) for lunch....

31 years old

And the last half of the day was spent with a party at the house. It was a FANTASTIC night as well. Family, friends, and TONS of fun!!

But I really am... (lol)

Yes black and pink... Couldn't find anything blue that was cute...

Kind of liking pink these days... 

And of course the "merry go round" of liquor choices with TONS of pink shots glasses...

Over all my 31st birthday was the best birthday ever... Thanks to all who texted, emailed, called, facebooked, sent cards, and came over... I love you guys!

You really made my birthday one to remember.

Some Amazing Friends...

A couple great people I work with just totally made my day today...

They got me this cake and card... they caught me off guard and what a surprise it was... I was in total shock and it took all that I had to not cry...


Thanks Guys!! You are the BEST!!

Family Time

It's funny how things work out. You lose touch with friends and family and sometimes never know the reasons why. Recently I've reconnected with some cousin's. Man has it been a long fourteen (14) years since I have seen them. Wow! How we have all grown up. We got together for a barbecue and some family time. Many more of these times to come...

This is the picture we attempted and "thought" we had everyone together...

Wow! What a difference this picture makes with a few people missing. This is still not everyone but this everyone we had together for the night. And this is just one (1) cousin's family...

April 2010 - Phoenix Zoo

In April the kids and I met up with cousin Nikki and Teagan at the Phoenix Zoo... What better way to have fun in the sun with some wonderful cousins...

May 2010 - Hoover Dam

 Here are a few pictures of our trip to the Hoover Dam...

Alex was so excited to see "Megatron's" house...

Officially a College Student.. Again

It is official.. I am once again a college student! YEAH!! The road is not going to be easy but I have been so ready to travel it down it again for some time. Let the next nine months go by quickly and with as little bumps as possible.
