Happy Friday Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a zillion things I need to be doing right now while the kids nap but somehow sharing my instagram pics seem much better. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you on instagram? Because you should be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's the best and my fave thing at the moment. </div>

I hope you had a great week and an even better weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brett's been gone for the last couple of days so I'm taking some much needed time for myself and getting a mani/pedi tomorrow. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My poor feet and toes are going to be so thankful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How about you? Any big weekend plans?</div>

Today my sister and I took all the kids to the <a href="http://www.longbeach.gov/naturecenter/default.asp">El Dorado Park Nature Center</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not sure why we don't come here more often.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's 5 minutes away from our house and it's just $5 to park.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kids love it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are turtles, ducks, lizards, spiders, insects of all kinds, beautiful trees and flowers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went on the 1 mile trail, which is super easy and great for the kids.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remembered to take my camera with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't been taking it with me too much these days since it just seems like one more thing to lug around, but I'm glad I did. I got some fun pictures of all the kids, so get ready for more pictures then you'd probably like. </div>

This crazy duck was attacking us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lucy had dropped some goldfish and this duck popped out of the bushes and was not scared of us at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lucy was a little terrified but she still managed to kick that crazy duck in the bill.</div>

They were so adorable with one another today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some days they fight like brothers and sisters but today they were wonderful.</div>

We had a great day and we will definitely be going back sooner than later. </div>

On a side note: Jacob would not leave the house without these hideous socks on with these specific shoes.</div>

Today has been one of those days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are too many dishes in the sink, purple marker on the couch, toys all over the floor, crumbs underneath the table, fit throwing, whining and complaining to no end.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm grouchy. My temper is short. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm tired.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which really is only my own fault since I can't seem to pull myself away from watching the Olympics and season 4 of Breaking Bad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(does anyone else watch that show? because it is amazing. best. show. ever.) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once both kids fell asleep for their naps I only wanted to sit on the couch and throw myself a pity party.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I knew I would feel worse if I did.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I tidied up a bit, swept the floors, and got things ready for dinner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I felt a little better but I was still having somewhat of a pity party.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sat on the couch and started looking at the pictures on my phone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These smiling faces were staring back at me....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Almost instantly I stopped feeling sorry for myself and my "bad day"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mean, how can life really be that bad? Do you see these wonderful people in these pictures?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My people. My husband and my boys. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, sometimes it's rough and some days feel like too much, but really it's not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It could be so much worse and selfishly I forget that sometimes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God has given me my family and this day. He's also given me the choice in how I deal with it and I'm not too sure God would be thrilled with how I have acted today..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I'm turning my attitude around, taking a deep breath, and starting over. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No more pity party here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And really who cares about the dishes, they can wait until tomorrow. </div>Adrianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01895658451664637442noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332068776616547374.post-46584748172902794042012-07-23T15:05:00.000-07:002012-07-23T15:05:26.633-07:00Ethan's 4th Birthday.<div style="text-align: center;">
Tomorrow Ethan will be 4 years old. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know every mother says this but really time is flying by like crazy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Last night we celebrated our big guy's birthday.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which by the way is very confusing to an almost 4 year old since he's not quite 4 yet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I had asked Ethan months ago what kind of party he wanted he told me Spiderman.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So Spiderman it was.</div>

He was just a little spoiled by our family and friends with more Spiderman loot than we know what to do with. We had a great time and I know Ethan loved every second of it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy 4th Birthday Buddy!!</div>Adrianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01895658451664637442noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332068776616547374.post-5933037693155037932012-07-18T15:31:00.002-07:002012-07-18T15:31:20.623-07:00To Blog or Not To Blog?<div style="text-align: center;">
Big life changing question I've been contemplating these days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok, not really. But it is one I have been thinking about lately.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the last couple of months I haven't really been into the whole blogging thing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't been posting much and I haven't really been reading other blogs as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know if I just got tired of it or I got too busy or I've found other things to take up my time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't really have a good reason.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I do know this was going on in my head...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know if this whole blogging thing is really my gig. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mean, I don't aspire to be a writer of any kind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't have an etsy shop where I'm trying to sell my goods.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not crafting up a storm everyday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not crazy into fashion and post my fabulous outfits daily. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not ready to share "my story" and let the whole wide world into my deepest darkest secrets. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't get me wrong...these things are great for others.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think the blogging world is a great community and a wonderful resource.
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've actually learned a lot from what other bloggers write, share and create.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then silly questions started nagging at me...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How can I get my blog to grow?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why don't I have hundreds of followers?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why didn't I get any comments on that post?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why can't I make "that" and make it better?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who really cares about what I say anyway?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Then the other day I began to remember why I started blogging in the first place.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My purpose was to document our life as a family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a blog for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For Brett and for our kids.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To remember the days that go by so quickly which we will soon forget.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And when I remembered this I felt a little sad for what I've let pass the last couple of months. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've been to San Diego and Arizona.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The local zoo, the beach, the park, Disneyland.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've spent countless days in the backyard playing in the water. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We celebrated the 4th of July. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've had some rough days in there too, don't get me wrong.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I have nothing to show for it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe just a few snapshots here and there, but no words to remember them by.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess my point is I do want to continue blogging. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not for the followers, the praise or the comments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But to remember with words, and not just a few photos I snapped with my iPhone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to blog for me and my family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because really at the end of the day, that's what is most important. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Before summer gets too far ahead of me I wanted to go back a minute and share pictures of Ethan's last couple days of school.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He had a little preschool picnic in the park and then a little parade to finish off his first year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My nieces also went to the same school and while Ethan will be returning next year the girls will not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are off to big girl school.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So without further adieu here are some pictures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It's Friday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We're packing in quite a bit this weekend since we'll be headed to San Diego on Monday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We're taking the boys to the zoo for their first time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ethan loves elephants and I can't wait to see his face when he sees a real one up close.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jacob loves anything that moves so he'll be a ball of fun the whole day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, here are my Instagram photos from the week.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Last Friday my mom, sisters, our kids and I all went to Disneyland.</div>

Today was Ethan's last day of Preschool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This wasn't his last year of preschool since he isn't even 4 yet, but I'm still sad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sad because it seems like he just started this new adventure and it quickly has come to an end.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sad because I loved his teachers and he loved them too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sad because it is the last year he will be at the same school as his cousins.
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sad because this means he's getting bigger and I can't ignore it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Look at how much he has changed in these past months. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He started out with a little baby face and now he's such a big boy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really just want him to stay small, but I know I can't stop him from growing into the young person he is becoming. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know won't stay sad for long and I'm sure by tomorrow I'll be looking forward to what the summer has to bring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But today I'm just a little sad. </div>Adrianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01895658451664637442noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332068776616547374.post-10244464642459555722012-06-05T22:15:00.002-07:002012-06-05T22:16:30.102-07:00It's almost here...<div style="text-align: center;">
Summer!<br />
Last week my nieces came over to play in our new blow up pool and have lunch. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't realize how much I have missed summer weather until that day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were outside in the water playing for far too long. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kids had the best time and literally went nuts with excitement.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was craziness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kind of craziness that is super loud and funny and you just let them go wild. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kind of craziness that makes for wonderful naps later in the day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was great!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait for more days like this in the coming months. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This week flew by as I'm sure next week will also.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It will be Ethan's last week of school and then we'll officially be on summer break. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yay!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Speaking of summer, it's been feeling a lot like summer around these parts and we've been enjoying the warm weather as you can see from my Instafriday photos.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This week we've spent most of our time outside playing in the water. I'm pretty sure this is what our entire summer is going to look like. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Backyard, bikes, water, cousins.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And do you see that big boy bed our little guy got?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yep, he's officially in a twin bed now. Makes me want to cry. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh and I got a new watch with some gift cards I had. Gotta love gift cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a wonderful weekend!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brett's gone for a few days so we're off to Disneyland tonight and we have a pool party planned for tomorrow. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All the makings for a great weekend. </div>

I hope all of you are enjoying your holiday weekend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So far ours has been very calm and relaxing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's weekends like these that I never want to end and wish they could go on forever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ahhhh...if only it were that easy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, here's so Instagram photos for you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

I've had all these great intentions of catching up on all the blog posts I've wanted to write and yet it hasn't happened. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought for sure I could catch up on all my favorite blogs and yet my reader tells me I have over 500 unread posts. Yikes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's just not going to happen. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is what is going to happen. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going to do a mini catch up right now and then start fresh. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No going back just moving forward.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Phew I feel better just writing that.</div>

The very next weekend we headed up to Big Bear to spend some time with Brett's parents.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The boys were able to do a ton of fishing which made them very happy. </div>

We played by the lake, went on a boat ride, visited the little zoo, ate too much good food, and relaxed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So as you can see we've been busy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh and I've been working for the last couple of weeks which will be ending soon, thankfully.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the kids got sick in the middle of it all. Doesn't it always seem to go that way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But they're on the mend and life is getting back to normal a bit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel better now that I got that all out...lets move forward. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
p.s. thank you for all the kind comments regarding Ethan and his stitches. i'm still so proud of my little guy. </div>

Oh hi blog. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't forget about you, I've just been crazy busy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's no way I could ever catch up on all that has happened in our life but I'm hoping to write about some important events that have happened. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First being....our first experience with stitches.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the story.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was April 4th and the boys and I had nothing planned for the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I drove through McDonald's and picked up lunch then we headed over to the park.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The boys were kind of eating their lunch but mostly playing on the climber (jungle gym, what do you call it?).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ethan had told me one of the boys there wasn't being very nice to him. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw the boy push him while he was on the slide so I reminded him and all the other kids around that everyone needs to keep their hands to themselves. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ethan again told me the boy was not very nice to him so I told him to not play with him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made sure I stayed close by.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not 5 minutes later, Ethan was on the climber, standing on the platform near the top of the slide talking to me, when this same boy walked over and pushed him as hard as he could. It was so unprovoked and surprising. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ethan went flying off the platform and landed onto a half dome shaped metal ladder.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His face broke his fall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now if you know Ethan you know he could be blown away by a little bit of wind. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is the lightest child that has ever lived.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So when I say he went flying I mean it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was the most terrifying moment I've had so far as a Mom, not to mention the sound I heard when he fell.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't even describe it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is what he looked like when we got to the ER.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was so tough and brave through the whole thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He cried right away, of course, but stopped before we even got to the ER.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh and how did I manage to get him there?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank goodness there were some wonderful mothers at the park that packed up all my stuff and got me and the kids loaded in the car. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And thankfully Brett was just 5 minutes away at his office and he was able to meet us at the hospital.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And if you were wondering, the kid and his grandpa (or at least that is who I assume he was) didn't have much to say to us. But I'm over it and not angry anymore. Ethan did tell me that if he sees him again at the park he's going to do his Karate on him. I can't say I wouldn't let him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was a champ at the hospital and never cried.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He didn't cry even though he was tired and hungry and in pain and uncomfortable. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was amazing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next door to us was a young gang member, or should I say wanna-be gang member, who injured his hand while punching out a car window. Fabulous.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He cried, yelled, swore and shouted because of the pain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ethan laughed and said, "I'm really brave. Not him."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So true. </div>

We were so thankful that his injury was just to his cheek and he didn't break the cheek bone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Obviously we would have been looking at a much more serious injury and the doctors told us he were very fortunate. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the end of the day he had 2 stitches on the inside and 11 on the outside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The doctor did an amazing job and he healed up wonderfully. </div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Not a bad way to start out the week.</div>Adrianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01895658451664637442noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332068776616547374.post-86648405746844222842012-02-22T22:15:00.000-08:002012-02-22T22:15:57.451-08:00Found {beautifully rooted}.<div style="text-align: center;">Last week a new website was launched called <a href="http://www.beautifullyrooted.com/">Beautifully Rooted</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;">A ton of my favorite bloggers are contributing and so far I've really enjoyed each post.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was especially interested in <a href="http://www.beautifullyrooted.com/2012/02/found-photo-link-up.html">one</a> of the posts, or challenges really.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The challenge was to be intentional about capturing God<br />
in your everyday life through your camera lens.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Perfect, easy, no brainer.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I take a zillion pictures a day, this would be a piece of cake.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Only problem, it wasn't.</div><div style="text-align: center;">In my head I had the grand idea of what my photograph should look like and I imagined an immense emotion would burst out of the image. </div><div style="text-align: center;">It wasn't happening.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was trying too hard to capture what I believed would be amazing instead of letting it just come to me.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I decided I had nothing worthy since my photographs were not "good enough".</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then while I was outside this evening, I looked up.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO-iQl0UjqPJeYOg1Cjw-pLu4JBYVZA739YRvHQu6C-trKUtdROGqOMnAP7SRozf0JoVUTxYYvJurkOw2g5e4KPPwe4-ReaCCGr-D-WO0WILHlNCVgQs_PVLWesldvUll0RNdFJblUffum/s1600/DSC_0439.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO-iQl0UjqPJeYOg1Cjw-pLu4JBYVZA739YRvHQu6C-trKUtdROGqOMnAP7SRozf0JoVUTxYYvJurkOw2g5e4KPPwe4-ReaCCGr-D-WO0WILHlNCVgQs_PVLWesldvUll0RNdFJblUffum/s400/DSC_0439.JPG" width="267" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The sun was setting, orange and pink clouds filled the blue sky.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I called the boys into the backyard so they could see the colors change as the sky grew darker.</div><div style="text-align: center;">We began a conversation about God and His creation, were He lives, and what He looks like. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
And then it hit me, all this week while I was looking behind the camera, trying so hard to get the perfect image, I was missing what was in front of me the whole time.<br />
God's amazing creation and the opportunity for my children to learn about Him. </div><div style="text-align: center;">How many times during the day do I stop and take in God's creation?<br />
How many times during the day do I share God's amazing creativity with my kids?<br />
Sadly, far too little.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
So, no my photograph is not perfect, it's not even good at best.<br />
But it's not about the photograph, it's about what this photograph represents and the lesson I learned today. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
