Wildcats Football

Team captains flipping the coin.

Roberts getting in there for the tackle.

Getting ready to play.

Robert's touchdown catch. It was pretty awesome.

His teammate giving him some props after his touchdown.

This Friday and Saturday were great days for my Husband and Son. They both kicked some butt. My husbands high school football team won: 48-14. It was a great game. I took the girls to see daddy in action. They loved it. Besides Mia hiding every time the Wildcats Mascot came close to her. She was practically under my shirt. She is so funny.

My sons game on Saturday was also great. The hour and 45 min drive and the 111 degree heat was all worth it. His team won: 34-0. And best of all Robert scored a touchdown. It was great. I'm so proud. I got some great pictures of Robert being team captain and him in action. He is #9. Have a great rest of the weekend. Go Wildcats!!!

Our Home #2

Ok so here I go again. I am posting more pis of the house. I actually feel better today, so I cleaned up a bit and took these before the house gets messy again. This first pic is our family room that leads into the kitchen /dining area.

Here is our kitchen table area/ kitchen.

Family room. Sorry the sun was not letting me take good pictures.

Just more pictures. I know the walls are pretty plain, can't decide what to put up.

More pics of the kitchen, dining area, and that door leads to the garage.

My kitchen, it's smaller than my other kitchen, but hey less to clean.

And here is the pool table room. We have it covered so the girls won't be tempted to take the balls out of the pockets.

We love the downstairs lay out. It is so cozy. I will get to the upstairs one of these days. Hopefully my energy stays a few more days and I can clean it all up. Bye for now. -Vickie

Our Home

I have wanting to put pic's on the blog so that my sisters and fellow bloggers can see my new home. Here are a few pictures of our patio. When I feel more up to it I will post more of the inside.


This first one is of our patio. We have to front doors. The first one is connected to our "CASITA" :aka: man cave. You then walk into the patio and onto our second front door into our home. And the second one is of our first front door.

My little flowers. I love them. But with this 100 degree weather they are struggling.

This is the girls area in the patio. They have there little home and sand and water table.

Here is the side of my house. We have grass and some great trees.

And here is my back yard. It's not much but we love it. We have a great view of the baseball fields and the park. We really don't need to much of a backyard, because our community has so much to do. Hey it's less work for us.

Long time gone

OK so I have been pretty flaky with the posts. But I do have a good reason for it. I am still feeling pretty sick. I really hope this nausea goes away soon. I have so much I want to do and need to do. It's so bad some days that the girls and I just leave the house to take my son to school and then go pick him up. For the sake of my family I want this to end! The kids and I have so much to do, Fall is on its way and we need to get busy playing outside and decorating the home. Oh yeah and guess who else is preggo? My younger sister!!! I can't believe that all three of us are expecting. We are all so happy about it. The only thing that can make this even better is if we could hang out with each other daily. Talking on the phone just isn't enough. Have a great Tuesday and I will posting again soon. Congrats Vern! -Vickie

Hello

Well I just saw Vickies little man. Well I think its a man and I hope mine is another man but like Vik said either way we will be happy. I just want healthy and cute. Hehehe.
Well I had the girls make themselves a homemade pizza and they thought it was so fun. Lizzie hates it and says she wants me to order one. Yes she stayed home again!!!! It has been 3 weeks and she has missed 5 days so far . Not good. The first 3 were from a fever cough and cold and now this week she had a fever yesterday and and now she is home . She has no fever today but the school wants you to keep them home 24 hours after. So here we are like old times.

Our little one

Here is our little peanut. This is our first photo at 10 weeks. I am so excited. I am even more excited because I felt so much better today. But as the evening went on I started to feel bad again. This pregnancy is playing tricks on me. I wish I could find out what the sex of the baby is already, I am dying to know!!! Mia says it's a boy, my hubby says it's a girl (hoping for that boy), Robert wants a boy, Ava doesn't know what is going on, and me well boy (but either way I will be so happy). Stay tuned for more details.

Lisa's Updates and stuff

Well I havent posted in a while because I have not been well and have been really trying to survive motherhood and pregnancy. Lizzie started Kindergarden , Abe turned 9 months and Sophie is just Sophie.
I am now 17 weeks pregnant and STILL sick but to no surprise . I am on home healthcare with Iv's and all. The last one I had in got infected so I had to have it out and a new one placed. Mind you this isnt a regular Iv it is much longer than the norm. The second one placed in the ER was so painful the doc pulled it out the same night. I have been in the Er 2 times the last week. Once because I passed out and the other for the infection. Needless to say my life is rough at the moment. I also am pretty much on my own with the kids because my husband works 7 days a week and really isnt home. I do get down sometimes because the few people I do know in AZ dont even come around and the rest of the family who would totally be there for me are so far away. I really want to move back closer to family and friends because when things are rough you can be there for each other. My husband has some family and I know a few people but it seems people choose to disapear when you are relaly really down and need them. IT is sad that people can be that way. I think if people knew what it was like the would understand it more. I have to say that through my whole pregnancy with Abe my neighbor helped me so much. Now she is pregnant and feeling really nauseated but I know I can count on her for anything. Of course she cant help clean my house or I cant help her right now but anything else we are cool.
Sorry I needed to vent and share. I think we all (including me) need to put ourselves in other peoples shoes and at least try to be there for each other when we can. The hard times are when it counts. Trying to feel someones pain. Trying to understand things that mabey you havent been through but someone else is going through. When I had postpartum depression it was nice to have someone listen like my sisters and sister in laws even though they had no idea what it was like. I had a few people who I tried to explain it to that didnt get it at all.
Well I think I went on enough. I need to put the little man down for a nap and try to sleep a while myself.

sorry forgot to turn the pic!

Is it nap time Mia, you look Grumpy.

Ava and her crazy hair

So I can't believe my hubby has been back to work and my son back to school going on two weeks now. I'm sad and happy at the same time. I love that the girls and I can get back on a routine, but since I feel horrible with my morning sickness(well all day sickness) I wish one of them was here to help me out. It is so hard for me right now. I love to get up and go, I love to clean and organize. But right now I can barely get up, eat, feed the girls, take my son to middle school, get the girls ready, do a few things around here and go pick him up again. On top of that he has football everyday. I so took advantage of my health. I miss feeling normal.
But to cheer up this post here are a few pictures of our summer activities. Enjoy. I will be back soon, and hopefully feeling better. -Vickie

Football season is just about here

Rob has a few more days of conditioning and then the pads come on.

My sweet Ava.

Silly Mia

As you all may know we are a football family. My hubby coaches and my son plays. We are super busy around this time of year. But I have come to love the sport. Last week was Rob's first practice. It went well. He is so excited for this season and that makes me happy. The girls also had a blast. Who wouldn't love a snack bar and a huge field to run around. Wish us luck this season. I need the men in my house in good moods the next 4 months. Bye for now.

Surprise!!!

So not only is my older sister prego too, so am I!! Yep it was a surprise and yes this will be #4. But I am so excited. I really want to enjoy this pregnancy as much as I can, because I know this will be my final one. I am also so excited to be pregnant with one of my sisters. This is going to be so much fun. Here I go again. It's going to be great. Love, Vickie

Our weekend in Northern California

We had such a great weekend. My little sister got married this past weekend and it was wonderful. These are pictures of the rehearsal dinner the night before. It was so much fun. Nothing is better than good food and enjoying it with friends and family.

My niece is doll. She has the best personality. She says hi to everyone.
My favorite was seeing all the cousins together.

These are a few pictures of the wedding day. My sister looked so beautiful. The ceremony was so emotional. My niece looked great. Could she get any cuter. I wish I could see them more often. The weekend was full of so much fun and surprises.

My new nieghborhood

I promised a few more pics of our neighborhood. And here they are. This was from one of our daily walks. We go out walking pretty much every evening. The girls love it and we are getting exercise. Enjoy the pics. Have a great weekend. A cute turtle on the rocks.

The cool Paddle boats in our lake. I can't wait to try them.

The fountain in the front of the lake. The girls love it!

There they go walking along.

Yep it's me

Harveston, Temecula

Hello fellow bloggers. No there's nothing wrong with your eyes I'm back. It has been pretty crazy these day's. We moved, we moved to Temecula! YAY. We are so happy. It was a pretty hard move. But we made it, and we have been here for almost 2 weeks. We are all unpacked and even have some pictures on the walls. The picture I posted is our view from the backyard, it's pretty bad, but it's the only one I have so far. I will take more and show you our beautiful neighborhood. We love Harveston! I know you remember me posting about this cute place before. And now we are finally here. We go for walks daily, I take the girls to the pool and splash park, and we even walk out or front door to Stroller Strides (no more 20 min. drive). And now that we are in Temecula everything is just a few miles away from us. I have so many stores to shop at now. My hubby is worried about that. So other than packing, moving, unpacking I have been busy with my business. I love that I'm getting busy, but it makes it hard at times. Ava also turned 2 in may. I have been wanting to post picks and here they are. Have a great day.

I do read all of your blogs on a daily basis, I love all your pictures and ideas. I need to start blogging again. I miss it. BYE

Ava opening gifts.

Yummy birthday cake. Ava can't wait to make a wish.

Jumping fun

I don't know about my ocean. I tried.

My two little girls, I can't belive how much they have grown.
