Just ENJOYING life...Family*Kids*Friends*Creatures*Beautiful Weather

Everyone loved feeding the birds at the Wild Animal Park. That was the highlight of the day!
The new Dinosaur exhibit was pretty cool too-this is my mom talking to the Dino!



I love taking the kids to the duck pond but I'm always scared they r gonna fall in! This evening we went and had dinner at Oscars and then went and  fed those cute duckies our breadsticks.


I LOVE mornings at our table with the BRIGHT beautiful sun shinning in and my cute kiddies saying there prayers!
Oh how I love to send my kids into the backyard to play so mommy can have some QUIET time.
Co-Co gave TATERS a trim and then flat ironed her hair and french braided it-I could never do that!

The twinners last day of gymnastics. They thought they were pretty special!

SWEET karen's BIRTHDAY-We enjoyed some yummy sushi!

Lake Elsinore

Our family loves being on the boat and it was so much fun having the Demam Fam with us. Hopefully they are hooked now just like us. K and R were naturals and Mason loved swimming and being on the boat. I LOVE wakeboarding and so does D and the twins. The twins have gotten pretty good at riding on the middle of the board with daddy. Poor Tater wanted to ride with daddy but she'llhave to wait until next summer.  To see picks of the next pro wakeboarder Mr. Ry you'll have to link to the Demam Fam webpage!

Celebrating OLY was so enjoyable and DELIGHTFUL. Shopping in LAGUNA, walking around the MONTAGE (it even SMELLED good), eating on del mar street, talking, sharing, praying and LAUGHING (I know I am a LOUD laugher, SORRY people). It is TRUELY a GIFT from you know WHO ^ to have such GREAT FRIENDS. FUN TIMES! 

CELEBRATING

WHY WOULD I EVER COMPLAIN

Ever since I can remember I always dreamed of being a MAMA. I always just wanted to be a mom with many small children. NOW that I have them I find myself COMPLAINING- WHAT is up with that. LAUREN trying to raise kids IS NOT EASY. BUT I know it is GOD'S WILL FOR MY LIFE> So I'm ready to GET OVER IT and EMBRACE IT to it's F-U-L-L-E-S-T, AMEN. I love T&T&T and KNOW it is not and easy task being called MAMA but there is no other JOB I would rather have! WHY am I just realizing that my DREAM has COME TRUE? I AM BLESSED TO BE CALLED M*A*M*A~ I PROMISE no more complaining from me LORD-This is YOUR WILL. I am ready to FLY!

WHO IN THE WORLD would let this sweet LITTLE girl roll in the dirt for 2 hours while her bro and sis play baseball. NO WAY.......NOT ME!!!

My Life as a SUPERSTAR.....WUPS I mean MOM

I was so blessed by Teeg and Tess. They made me these beautiful FLOWERS, escorted me to my seat, sang me "You are my SUNSHINE" and served me lemonade and cookies. There teacher was amazing, she prayed over us and gave us some great words of encouragment! What a blessing it is to be called MAMA!

SHOUT OUT TO KAREN

KAREN THANK YOU SO MUCH for my YUMMO Carob Bar. It is DELICIOUS. I LOVE CAROB. For those of you wondering Carob is a dried fruit of the locust tree and I THINK it is quite delightful. We have been trying to eat better in this home of mine. I got rid of most everything with high fructose corn syrup. We all have been consuming many more fruits and veggies daily. LOVE YOU KAREN not just because you brought me a candy bar, but because you are an AWESOME friend-

One of Our Families HAPPY places

California Adventure was JOYOUS for the whole gang. Not too crowded and beautiful weather. There was a lot to do, we went to some shows and did SOARIN' and TOWER OF TERROR (twice for TEEG). Tatum LOVED the Incredibles. That pic of her with them was the second time we had seen them. She and I happen to be sitting by the door that they come out. They couldn't stop kissing her and hugging her and she ate it all UP. Maybe when D and I are done with our TOTAL MONEY MAKEOVER (we have been doing this successfully for the past few months) and we can pay cash we could get PASSES and enjoy ourselves all the time! HOORAY for HAPPY PLACES!!!
