My Boys

I have really been missing my kids the last couple days. It's very hard to be away from them and of course I have many days when I wonder if I am doing the right thing. I took these pictures last weekend when I was home visiting. It makes me sad to look at them, but as always I feel so blessed and thankful to be their mom, even though I feel like they deserve much better. But that's one of the beautiful things about it, I know they each love me unconditionally. I love you boys!

Sister Night

Another fun thing I did in Idaho Falls this weekend was our traditional sister night. All of us girls get together, no kids or men allowed! We went to Sizzler and then for pie at Perkins. We made a bit of a ruckus at Sizzler laughing about some pretty hilarious stuff that out of respect for Amy I won't mention! It's really great to have such a close relationship between all of girls and we have so much fun when we get togther. Love you ladies!

Birthday Girl

I went home this weekend for my niece Emma's birthday. She turned 4 on Sunday and we had lots of fun. Emma and I have always been really close and it is both heart breaking and adorable how she misses me. She was in total denial when it was time for me to leave and even tried to sneak out of the house to come to Boise with me! She is so sweet and I love her so much! Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

My Place

Sorry it took so long but finally here are some pictures of my new apartment.






The front, I am in the bottom one.


View of the mountains from the back porch, I love it!


The kitchen has lots of space.

Spare room/boys room.


More to come soon..........

Happy Valentine's Day!

Well it's the first V-Day I haven't dreaded for a long time. I feel very fortunate to have found someone as wonderful as Ramil who is so loving, patient, and kind. He's very good to me and I feel spoiled to have someone so awesome. He had to work today until 5:00 so I told him I would make him dinner. I decorated the table and made his favorite foods. He gave me a beautiful necklace and earrings that he picked specifically because they match my ring. He also gave me some perfume I have been wanting for months! I gave him a new watch and his dinner of course. We had a fun night and I am looking forward to many more Valentines Days ahead!

Put A Ring On It

I think by now most everyone knows that Ramil and I are planning on getting married. He asked me to awhile ago, but considering our circumstances it was more something that we talked about at length and decided was right. We picked out a ring about a month ago and just picked it up today. I told him to hold onto it and give it to me whenever he was ready. He was really excited and managed to wait almost an hour before he just knealt down and made it official! It was really sweet and we both LOVE my ring. Here are some pictures, of course my man hands take away from the beauty of the ring.

BIG NEWS!

It's been a long time coming and I know everyone has been waiting for this day to finally be here! That's right, I got a camera! I am so excited! We went to Target yesterday and since they only had the floor model we even got a discount. I haven't taken pictures of my apartment yet cuz I need to clean a little first. But by tomorrow there should be some and I will be going crazy blogging! So far I just have these two I took, a pic of me (what's with the crazy eyes?) and a cute one of Ramil.

Terrific Twinners!

Here I sit in Boise, no camera no kids. I miss the boys so much and was looking at some of the pictures I had on Ramil's computer. I found these from when I brought the boys to Boise last fall and had to post them. I think they are so stinking cute!


Ok so this is Bryce at the zoo. He was the only one who would pose for me, and not only did he let me take his picture by the giraffe but he whipped out the silly attitude.


This was in the car on the way to Boise. It was getting late and I didn't want anyone to fall asleep so I put on "Jock Jams" (the kids favorite cd) and I took pictures of everyone rocking out. Brenon was making the cutest faces and I love the scrunchy nose!
