Happy Birthday Joseph!

I am a little late at posting this, but oh well. On March 16, 2009, my first born baby boy turned 5! It is so crazy, It seems like not long ago I was in the hospital with him. He used to take naps with me everyday and always wanted to hang out with mommy. When he was about 2, he would get so mad at his dad, if his dad tried to hug me or hold my hand, he didn't want ANYONE, especially another guy touching HIS mommy. Now he is always busy playing X-Box, listening to my Ipod or just playing on the computer. He just grew up too fast.
So, for his birthday, his cousins, and some friends went to the zoo. Joseph has loved the zoo ever since he was little. He loves the lions!!! We were at the zoo for about 2 hours, and then we left right as it started to get warm. We had so much fun, though it was a little crazy and stressful trying to keep track of all of the little people! After the zoo, we went to Peter Piper for lunch! The kids got to play and run around. Joseph opened presents and blew out the candles on his Incredible Hulk cake! After the cake we did presents, unfortunately I forgot the presents we got him, so once we got home, he got to open them. He got a lot of race cars, an Indiana Jones whip, Ninja Turtles, and a Bunny Rabbit! He was so excited for the rabbit. She is still not very comfy with people holding her, but we are getting her used to it. We let her out of her cage every now and then to run around the back yard and eat the grass! Well it was a really fun day for all who went. Oh and by the way, we are expecting, we will keep you all updated!!!

Since January.....

Alot has happened!!! Sorry, I am a sucky blogger! Anyways, let's see..... The 2nd week in February, the kids and I flew to Texas to visit my family. So Tony and I spent Valentine's Day apart, but it doesn't really matter because he had to work so we couldn't do anything anyways. So on Valentine's, my sister and I went to the movies. Then while we were down there, mom and dad took us to the glass bottom boats! It was so cool, the kids loved seeing the fish swim underneath us! We just hung out the rest of the time, it got really cold and I hate going out in the cold!!! Anyways, we came home on like the 16th, and I will NEVER fly with all three kids by myself again!!! It was horrible! It wouldn't have been so bad if my plane wasn't delayed like 10 times, but it sucked because Mikey just wanted to get on the plane and we couldn't. So by the time we got home from the airport it was like midnight. Antonio had planned this whole Valentines Celebration for the kids and I, so we did it anyways, the whole house was decorated I couldn't let it all go to waste!!! There were rose petals all throughout the house, I got 2 dozen red roses, some daisies, chocolates, cookies, sparkling cider, stuffed animals, and a docking station for my Ipod!!! The kids got cookies, little chocolates, and a heart pinata! Oh and Joseph got a video game!!! They loved it!!! It was the best Valentine's surprise EVER!!!
So after Valentine's, I have just been working alot and so has Tony. The kids are all in school, including Mikey! They love it, and it gives me some time without the kids, so much easier to do my work when I don't have them running in my office constantly! LOL! Our schedule is so busy, lets see. Monday's Mike has Speech Therapy. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have school. Thursdays Joseph has Ice Skating lessons to prep him for hockey. Channing will be starting Cheerleading and Gymnastics this month. Michael will be starting Occupational therapy soon. We have a ton of stuff going on. I have no time to do anything anymore!!! I have about a million alarms on my phone for all my events. My house is always messy now. But that is changing this Saturday!!! I hired a landscaper and a housekeeper!!! YAY!!! They start on Saturday. I know, I know, my mom would tell me I am ridiculus, and maybe I am, but I just feel like I don't have the time to clean anymore!!! Soon enough I will slow down and make time for these things, but right now I have to be committed for what I have signed up for!!! Well, that is pretty much it for now. Joseph's birthday is this Monday! So hopefully I will write then!!!
