So day 2 in San Diego was the zoo. Holy crap that was a lot of walking. Just when I was starting to feel bad about getting out of my exercise routine... my legs were killing me after this.First stop flamingos of course. Man I don't know why I love those things so much. They have beady little yellow eyes and are kind of stinky. After that we kit the reptile house, eew. Now I made it thru that but

Well I Don't need to tell any of you folks just how bad I am at keeping up on this blog. Honestly the people who blog every day must not have jobs, or blogging IS their job because I just can't do it. LOL. So the day after Disney we drove down to stay in San Diego for one night. Our plan was to go to Sea World and the San Diego Zoo but those plans changed a little. Skylee freaked out about Shamu

Well it was a really quick and long week, but we are finally back from our whirlwind cross country adventure! Last Sunday, right after I got off of work, we left for sunny California. Brenda, Tracy, Skylee, and I left for my mom's house in Upland. We got there Monday morning and were greeted by a rain storm. Who would have thought that would greet us? But Tuesday shaped up to be a really

Well it is officially Spring Break, but we wont be taking a trip anywhere since we will be headed to California in less than two weeks. I did promise to Skylee to take her somewhere though, so today we went to the zoo. We took Jackson with us and met up with Austin and his family. It was such a beautiful day. It was in the low 70's and was so nice. Of course I got a little too much sun and I lost

So on the first official day of spring.... snow storm!!! We had eleven inches of snow fallAnd the day after??? Melted! The yard is now a soggy mess and Skylee is okay with that. I don't think I will ever get used to the way the weather changes here.Skylee went to a friend's birthday party last weekend. I had to work so I didn't get any photos of the party, but I did get one of her before she left

Happy Birthday Skylee! It is hard to believe that she is five. It seems like yesterday that she was the chubiest little baby with legs to rival the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man. She had her party at the Jones center this year. We had a great time ice skating, especially since Skylee now has double runner ice skates. Sorry that there aren't very many pictures. I had to ask someone else to take

Here is the doll with matching outfits that Grandma Cheryl sent at Christmas time. Skylee insisted that I do her hair exactly like the dolls. She is really into the matching outfits, so now I have to look at Dillards for matching dresses that she and her doll can wear.And speaking of hair did you know that our cat Flower asked for a hair cut? According to Skylee she did. I saw Flower and thought

So no new pics since I am lazy on that aspect. I am currently sitting at work watching the ice come down. Growing up in Southern California, I never imagined that I would one day live where it got below 50 degrees. It is currently sleeting outside, now for my California friends... that means itty bitty ice pellets flying out of the sky. These little ice pellets will always smack you straight in

So it is finally over! It has been a busy busy month, hence not many posts. Between going to work, gym, preschool, the playgroup and shopping for those bargains I feel like I need a vacation. LOL. Overall everything was great so here we go with the round up...I took Skylee to the Crafty Cottage in Bentonville to make some Christmas gifts and she had a great time painting a statue for herself!

Be forewarned still no battery for my camera and I suck with the Blackberry pics. LOLWell Thanksgiving 2009 is behind us. Usually we have it at our house but Tracy offered to do it at her place and boy was it nice! To be able to leave and go home to some relative peace and quiet. LOL.Okay so the morning started out early. Skylee and I got up at 5am to be at Kmart at 6:15. We were 2nd in line and

So that could be a really bad thing if Skylee was just like me. She is pretty much the spitting image and behaves very similar. Well, now the mouth is about to follow. Anyone who knows me knows that my potty mouth is horrible. My sister says I could cuss like a sailor at an early age. So here is a recent convo between Skylee and I.Skylee: "Where is Flower?"Me: "She is probably out hunting

This month in school Skylee's class will be learning about Thanksgiving, Pilgrims, Native Americans, and things they are thankful for. Tomorrow her show and tell is something she is thankful for. So I asked her what she is thankful for and she said "my family". I just love it. I was expecting something along the lines of Spongebob or another 4 yr old love. LOL. So this morning we made a collage

Well it's finally over. It has been a long week filled with Halloween activities. All in all we had a lot of fun, and with only a few melt downs. Mostly over having our pictures taken. I will start from last night and work my way backwards.Last night we went Trick or Treating with Damien's family at his cousin Tina's house. Skylee absolutely refused to join everyone for a group picture. But what

Monday turned out to be a really nice day in the 70's so we went to the Tulsa Zoo. Now for all my family who aren't familiar with the Arkansas weather, let me tell you.... you never know what you will get. Saturday it was in the 40's and here on Monday the 70's. Crazy right?So anyways we went with a few friends from our playgroup and Tiffany. Skylee was in one of those "no pictures please" moods

Ok here it is Monday morning. I just got off work a few hours ago and I should be sleeping right? Nope! Silly me, I forgot to turn in my time sheet. So after sleeping for about 30 minutes I had to go back to work and fill out the time sheet. So now that I am back home I figured I might as well just stay up since the kid should wake up any time. So I bide my time by blogging, playing pogo, and

It's a lovely Sunday night as I sit here at work to give a quick update. I worked this weekend so not much to update ya on the kid. She did score a sweet game, Operation. Thanks to Aunt Tracy!! She has been begging for the Spongebob version for a few weeks. So if this still holds her interest Santa may bring it this year. It was an unusually quiet weekend at work. It is now day four on my meds

Okay so my mom asked me when I was going to get back to this blogging thing so this one is just for her. I am currently sitting here with hair dye on my head while the kid is in school. Another thing I would like to thank my mother for, passing on the gray hair gene!!!So to update you I have a few things. Skylee won a goldfish at the grape festival a few weeks ago, her name is Sookie. Leave it up

Yesterday Skylee's playgroup went on a tour of Bentonville's newest fire station. the place was really big and the kids loved it. The firemen themselves were super nice. Skylee has made a new little boyfriend. His name is Austin and is super cute. I hope this gives Skylee a little fix of her firemen issues. If we see them at the grocery store she insists on following them and wants to buy

Skylee has started taking ice skating lessons and they are going really well. She stays up on two feet and that is better than most right? As long as she is in the snow pants to pad the toosh we are happy.Try to ignore me laughing towards the end when she almost falls

Okay so here are a few other pics. Lenka decided to have a 3rd bday party for Jackson at Chuck E Cheese. 24 hours notice, but she pulled it off and the kids had fun. We saw Adam and his family there and it went well. You can tell the kids miss each other.

On Wed we did a little hunt at Abe and Levi's house with their Grandma Linda. I got some great photos of this. The kids had a great time. I must say Skylee was very good at finding the eggs. We had a bunch when it was all said and done. The kids had ice cream(thanks Lenka), dyed Easter Eggs, and decorated cup cakes. We couldn't stay very long since this was a work day for me, but we had a nice

Ok so on Thursday Skylee and I went to meet Linda, Abe and Levi at Fastlanes for some lunch and fun. I don't know who had more fun Linda and I or the kids. They have these really addictive games that are funky claw machine candy types. I think Linda and I spent at least 10 minutes on the machine, helping the kids of course. We weren't able to ride the go karts since they weren't on but we had a

So last weekend I took Skylee to the Tulsa Zoo. Everyone was busy so it was just the two of us but we had a really nice time. It was 60 and sunny the whole day, while back home it was rainy and in the 40s. Skylee took her own video camera that she got for Valentine's Day from mommy and daddy. She does really well with it (when her finger isn't covering the lense) So i added a few of her pics

So I guess there are those out there that may feel my child is horrible, and sometimes she can be naughty (Logan's anyone?) But there are moments that I wouldn't trade for anything. Most mornings when I come home from work at 6 am Skylee is still asleep, but this morning she had just woken up."Mommy! My heart was beating for you!"Is that not the cutest thing ever? Do they know they can do this to

So I came into work today and found this....Apparently this was on one of our overpasses and was taken by a passerby. Then another passerby called in reporting it. The penguin was eventually recovered with no prospective owners. So I think it may become the Lowell pd mascot.

On Saturday we had to scrap a trip to the Tulsa Zoo. The possible chance of snow flurries turned into 1 inch of snow. LOL. Leave it to the damn geniuses that do the forcasts. Grr. Anyways we went to see Coraline. A great movie that is dark like Nightmare before Christmas.We were supposed to meet Amanda, her sis, Aidan, Asher, and their two cousins( sorry the names escape me at this point). So we

Today was a good day, it started at 3:45 am. Yeah you read that right 3:45 am. Skylee crashed so early the night before she was ready to go early so we got up and had breakfast. We had a field trip to Eureka Pizza scheduled at 9:30 and she was falling asleep on the way, not a good sign. BUt we made it, although she was a bit cranky. The owner of the place showed all the kids how they make pizza,

So we celebrated a little Mardi Gras at our house. Beads yes, boobies no. Skylee saw the masks at Walmart and wanted to make her own. So we bought some craft foam and jewels. Bam!! A mask, however she wouldn't be caught dead in it so she outfitted Nanny and Bruno. LOL.that day is also National pancake week celebrated at the local IHOP.

Quick afternoon craft. It is a cold day here today and we went to the mall for a little bit. Of course it gets a bit boring so after lunch we made some sheep. All you need is some tissue, toilet paper rolls, cotton balls, glue, pipe cleaners and q tips. And bam!!! sheep.Preffered clothing here is pjs and comfy clothes.

I'm not sure if they have these places everywhere but yesterday we went to this place called the Jump Zone in Bentonville with a play group. It's an indoor place that has bounce houses and giant inflatable slides. Kind of like an indoor carnival, or one of my nieces or nephew's parties(without the good food). And to top it all off te even have a slushpuppy machine!They have Spongebob squarepants

Well today we had Skylee's 4th bday at Fastlanes. Fastlanes is a pretty dope place. It has lazer tag, cosmo bowling, an indoor go kart track, and games. We had an excellent time! Our party was from 12-2 with a bunch of pizza, drinks, ice cream and cake. I am really lucky since this place is in the city of Lowell and I get a discount for working for the pd. Well when I scheduled the party they

Happy Valentine's Day!! Yesterday we came home from getting Bruno's nails ground and Skylee got a package from Grandma Cheryl with her Valentine's and Bday stuff in it. She was so excited to get it in the door and open it.This kid loves mail and packages especially. I wish I got packages and presents like this kid does. Anyhoo we celebrated our Vday on friday since we would be busy and tired from

Where do I start with this one? For all you Californians that have no idea what winter weather is like this will be a shock. We had an ice storm come thru on Tuesday of last week. It dropped 2 inches of ice. It coated everything. I took a few pics when the ice first started coming down. Once we lost power I wasn't able to take pics until the next day. You will be able to tell from the pics due to

So it is getting close to that time everyone The big 4. Skylee can talk about her bday party all day if you let her. She practices passing out candy to her guests for her party. Way too cute. She is going to go up to be such an entertainer. We have scheduled her bday for valentine's day at Fastlanes bowling at noon. So we are very excited. A private room will be great for all the adults to have

So last Saturday Skylee and I treated Nanny to a movie. Skylee chose to see Hotel For Dogs. It was a really cute movie. Basically two siblings are in the foster care system and have a dog that was around when they had their parents. But they no longer were able to keep the dog due to their living situation. So they find this abandoned hotel that has a few strays living in it and they clean it up

OK there id the Arkansas Missouri Railroad that does a christmas train ride locally up to Rogers and back. So we jumped at this and bought tickets. Well they parade us thru these really nice, warm cars and seat us in the back of the train where its freezing and windy. Skylee could care less but I hated it.They did provide hot cocoa.Yum!!Amanda was absolutely thrilled with the train ride. Note the

So we had some more fun xmas festivities. Lenka and I took the kids to the mall to see Santa. Jackson wont go near him. Skylee on the other hand knows that is where the good stuff comes from so she was more than willing to sit on his lap and ask for a play kitchen.Later we went to the Fayetteville square for the lights of the ozarks. They have ponies, camels, carriage rides, santa and a crap load

After the Dixie Stampede we proceeded over to Silver Dollar city. They have amazing lights, shopping, and all that good stuff.Decorating cookiesWatching Frosty the Snowman show. Can you see Skylee standing up in the middle of the show. Sit down? Heck no there is fake snow falling and that is way more important thank you.

So we finally made our Xmas trip to Branson. First stop Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede. It was awesome. So many horses and cool tricks. The food was really great but you had to eat with your fingers. You couldn't take pics during the show but it was awesome. Skylee's fave part? Horses? Tricks? Lights? Angels? Nope the racing pigs. She now wants a racing pig of her own to call Rosie.Crazy hairThe

Okay first of the crazy crew went out for the Twilight opening and had a few drinks, dinner and Edward, I mean we saw a movie. Great. Yum yum!

Okay so here we are finally! Halloween!!! These pics are backwards so bare with me. We had a party at preschool and then did a party at Amanda's and trick or treating. Skylee went sans hat all day. Of course Skylee and Bruno were the hit of the evening and had way too much fun and got way too much candy!Here she is doing a play-doh activity after trick or treating and pizza.Here is the group

Ok so here we have more halloween festivities. We got all of our friends together the night before halloween for a carving party! It was a lot of fun and Skylee made a scooby doo, sleeping beauty, and a hand drawn happy face.There were margaritas(virgin for the kids) and snacksLenka and I also took the kids to a local pumpkin patch. Skylee wasn't too happy about having her pic taken as usualBut

So last weekend was a busy one for us. I had a girls night out on friday that almost everyone couldn't make it to.LOL. But Paula and I had big girl time and it was fun!On Sat Skylee had a Halloween party at Prairie Grove Battlefield Park. This was thru NWA Playgroups and she had a blast. It was a potluck and we brought yummy pumpkin bars. It was a bit cool so she had to wear a long sleeve shirt

After our pumpkin play date (see below) we grabbed a pizza from Papa Murphy's and came home to a package on the doorstep. It was from Grandma Cheryl and was filled with all kinds of goodies. Skylee kept saying"Wow, look at all these goodies!"Along with candy there was a much loved Spongebob book and two pairs of knit slippers.The skittles were not part of the box, but were left over from before.

Today we went to a NW Arkansas moms playdate. Skylee had a blast. We painted pumpkins, decorated foam pumpkins for our Halloween party this sunday, decorated cookies, painted pictures and had a snack. I asked Skylee what her fave part of today was and she said it was making new friends. She sat next to these two twin girls and was so excited about them. LOLOne of our foam pumpkins..Decorating

So I always wondered where kids learn the stuff they do.Sure we watch a lot of NCIS and CSI stuff around here but canthey pick up stuff like this? Or should I be concerned about the kids she hangs with?Surely she isn't learning this from Blue's Clues orPinky Dinky Do.Please excuse the crazy mad scientist hair and near nakedness.

Okay so this week we did some new things. First we hung out with our friends Abe, Levi and their Grandma Linda. Somehow all three escaped my excellent camera abilities that day. LOL. But have no fear we had a lot of fun hanging with them and will do so again soon. We all got together and made bat crafts. And Linda brought the coolest puppet and balloon craft kits from Walmart. The kids used

Well I finally got around to taking pics of the stuff we painted at Different Strokes. I usually try to keep Skylee from the black paint when we go since she paints everything black, but she saw that I had some and ended up using mine. Some people might look at that and remember the Katella Knights colors. Go Knights! LOL.What else has been going on? Skylee's obsession with Halloween continues.

Just a quick ello from work! This week on wed I took Skylee to Different Strokes. It is a paint your own pottery studio. We had a nice time and she loves any kind of art and painting is her fave. I painted a travel mug and she picked out a crown shaped box. I will have pics on wed after I pick it up. Today Skylee went to preschool and Aunt Tracy picked her up for an afternoon of fun at her house.

Well yesterday was my birthday! I am finally 28. I plan on staying 28 for the next 5 years too. Anyways Brenda picked up a cake on her way home from work and Skylee insisted on cake for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I got an awesome beach cruiser from Damien, Brenda and Tracy. I havent got a pic of it yet but it looks like this bike Then I snuck out to dinner with my friends. WE went to La Huerta

So today Lenka, Skylee and I went to the mall and hit up a great sale at Dillards with a bunch of stuff at 75 % off. Then we went home and all afternoon we repeatedly watched "My Friends Tigger and Pooh" Wonderful. LOL. With hurricane Ike headed our way Dalton's bday party has been moved to Fun City on saturday afternoon and I know Skylee will love that. She has been doing so good and being quite

Ok so what is with the title you ask? Hehe. Sometimes it comes in handy being a police dispatcher. Sure there is a lot of crap like taking drunk prisoners to the bathroom only to have them curl in a ball and refuse to get up until threatened with a taser. The other night an officer ran a tag that returned to a certain ice cream truck. And I thought to myself "Wouldn't that be funny if it was

Today was Skylee's first day of her mom's day out program. It is basically a preschool type program that she will go to every friday from 9-2, then nect year she will do the preschool program. She picked out her outfit including her pink cowboy boots that Papa bought for her. She decided what she wanted for lunch and I packed it for her. Today she took... a strawberry jelly sandwich, watermelon,

Well I thought I would have pics today but instead I am here at work filling in for someone who is sick. But who can turn down the overtime? Especially with a trip coming up next weekend I could use some spending cash. We had an awesome day today. Skylee and I went over to our friends and made ghosts and pumpkin pics. Then the wild beasts played outside in the rain the mommies had fun coloring.

Ok to start off here we go. I am not sure anyone actually reads this thing but this goes out to my family. Adam and AJ are no longer in our lives. After AJ said some very hurtful things about Skylee I decided that I no longer wanted someone like that near my child. Apparently she feels that Skylee needs to see a Dr for some anger issues and I told her to fuck off. I guess that Momma Bear just

Gosh I am really bad at this kind of stuff. How many months has it been? Anyways here it goes. Skylee starts a preschool type program on Fridays that she is not really looking forward to. Does that make sense? I know she will love it. She didn't want to leave when we went for the orientation but she doesn't want me to leave her there. LOL. This is something that will be really good for her. She

So why isn't everyone yelling at me for slacking on this thing? What have we been doing hmmm? I am happy to report that this is week 2 for me working out at a gym! Can you believe it? I go 5-6 times a week and work out for about an hour each time. Skylee is her usual self. She told me yesterday that I need to buy a fast red car. Oh boy. Can you imagine what kind of adult she is shaping up to be?

For Mother's Day I got some really nice pics of Skylee and Damien. Damien's cousin Tina took them herself and did an amazing job. We spent the day lounging around the house being lazy, but it was kind of nice. On a funny note Skylee fancies herself a singer and she sings just a few songs... The theme from COPS, Scooby Doo, and Ghost Busters.

Here I am procrastinating already! Sorry about that. Anyhoo recently we went to Skylee's friend Abe's bday party. His mom had a petting zoo at the party. It was amazing. Skylee would not come inside for cake, or food of any kind. And now her life's ambition is to have a cow that she will name Rose and it will sleep in her bed.They had ponies to brushJackson came too and loved all the animalsThis

Strangely enough the tour was given by a nice guy with a name tag that read Fifi.

If you haven't checked out http://www.mamadramauncensored.com/ I highly reccomend it. On the bargain hunter board someone posted a pic she had received from one of dh's friend.
