Happy Father's Day!

This year for Father's day, the kids and I, oh and my sister Aleah thought that we should do something on Saturday, rather than sunday. So we took Tony out for dinner at Red Lobster. It was quite eventful. The kids were all grumpy and acting up. Then Channing and Joseph were playing across the table, and of course, they knocked over RED fruit punch and it spilled all over me!!! Luckily I was wearing dark blue jeans and a dark shirt so you couldnt' see it was red, it just looked like I wet my pants! Anyways, after dinner we went out to the movies to see Night at the Museum 2. We thought it would be fun for the kids and be super funny. We were wrong. Mikey wasn't intrigued, Joseph fell asleep, I fell asleep, and after awhile Aleah asked if we could go and see if we could get our money back because we were seriously bored. So of course we left, got our money back and went home. I don't know if it was just a really boring movie, or if everyone was just too tired. Maybe I will try to go again when everyone is more up for it. Anyways, we had a GREAT day, and we all love Tony soooooo much! He has been the greatest father to my little boys and of course to Channing. We love you!!! Also, we just want to say we love my dad! He is AWESOME!!!

Baby Updates

Notice, it's baby updates, so there is more than one baby involved. No I am not having twins, but my best friend since I was 15 is pregnant too!!! She was originally due in late December, however she swithced Doctor's and her new Doc did an ultrasound yesterday! YAY! Always fun, well surprise, surprise, Tarah is due December 12th and she found out that she is having a BOY! I am totally jealous because I am waiting to find out what I am having. I am due Dec 4th and I was supposed to get my ultrasound in early July, but because the Ultrasound Tech is out I have to wait until July21st!!! It is killing me! Anyways, I have my names picked out either way so we are totally set. It took me awhile but thanks to Tarah, I was able to come up with a girl name. If it's a girl, she will be Amber Lei Ocasio and if it's a boy which I am hoping for, he will be Anderson (Andy) Iakopo Ocasio. Because my husband is hawaiian it is tradition to have hawaiian middle names so Lei I don't know what it means exactly I know what a lei is but anyways, Iakopo is Antonio's middle name so we thought it would be nice to name him after his father. Okay so more on our little one, he/she is VERY active!!! The heartbeat is 160 and everytime they use the doppler this little one is doing flips or something, LOL! Well, once we find out what it is, we will announce it to the whole world!!! Can't Wait!!!

Summer Time

This summer has been crazy already! We went to Texas on May 24th for my sister's high school graduation! Congrats Aleah!!! We had so much fun, swimming EVERYDAY, getting sun burnt because the sun screen did NOT work. Slamming on our brakes every time a deer ran out in front of us, which was pretty much all the time. Going out back to sleep in the trailer for a girls night, roasting marshmallows in the fire pit, attempting to sleep on the trampoline, but come on I am pregnant, so it lasted for about 2 hours max. LOL!!! All-in-all, It was just super fun! Now we are back home, and Aleah came with us. I took her to the bank to open a new checking account, her first ever!!! She is so funny because she is not ready to grow up. She has no idea how all of this stuff works!!! Now that we are home, I quit my job, it is hard to work for your ex-husbands family, child custody issues become a problem in your job. So now I am a stay at home mommy, and Aleah and I are BORED all of the time!!! We don't have a pool anymore so no swimming everyday and it's just too hot to go outside. SO like I said it has been crazy so far, and there is still so much to come. Antonio's birthday is July5th, so we usually celebrate the fourth of July with his birthday, so we have a party to plan! We are planning two more trips. One to Cali and one to Vegas. Anyways, that's just about all of our summer, so far anyways, more stuff could happen!!! We will see!

Easter

This year Easter was a little different. According to my court order, the boys were supposed to be with their dad, however due to the death of my Grandpa Ireland, I got to keep the boys, and we took a surprise, and VERY unplanned trip to Texas! Because of the rush to leave on Thursday so we would be able to be rested for the funeral on Saturday, I forgot my camera, so I have NO pictures of ANYTHING! My mom is supposed to email me some soon. Anyways, It started out like this.

Thursday morning I woke up to a phone call from my dad saying that his dad had died over night. So we began packing immediately. I then called my brother about 10 times before he FINALLY answered his phone. I told him we were leaving for Texas and asked if he wanted to go. At first he said he couldn't, and about 20 minutes later he called and said he wanted to go. We originally wanted to leave by 10 in the morning because it can take about 15-17 hours, however Jason wasn't able to leave until about 12, so we ended up leaving at 1:30 that afternoon. We began our drive to Texas.

Friday morning we arrived at my grandma's house just in time for breakfast. We went Easter shopping that afternoon with my mom and grandma. Then later that evening, my sister Aleah, brother Caleb and I went with my dad and uncle to our Aunt Theresa's house.

Saturday Morning, we woke up early and went to the funeral home for the viewing, then right after that we went out to the cemetary and did the grave dedication. After all of that was done, we all went to my uncle Russ's house for food and games.

Sunday Morning, we woke up early again and went to church. It is so weird because in Texas they do Sunday School and Primary first and then they have Sacrament. Anyways after church we had 2 Easter Egg hunts, and then on again to my Aunt Theresa's

Monday morning, we woke up early again! We packed everything up, said our good byes and started our trip back home!!! My brother drove most of the way home since my husband drove almost the whole way there. He got pulled over TWICE, got a warning the first time, but was not so lucky the second time! We got home at about 2:30 am.

SO as you can see our Easter was extremely busy and hectic!!! Ever since the trip, nothing tastes good, I always have a bad taste in my mouth, I have NO cravings, and I am not eating as much!!! We have our first ultrasound next Wednesday! We will keep you posted, and I promise we will put up pictures soon, once I get them!!!

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!!!

House

So.....I know that we have lived in our new house for about 3 months and I have yet to put pics up. So here they are!!!
