Ninja Turtle Party
So for this year Seth wanted to have a Ninja Turtle Party. All I can say it was insane. 14 little boys in the house, so much energy. It was lot of fun but after wards I was exhausted. We even had a pinata, that wouldn't break. LOL Good times and good memories. My Mom and Sister even came up which was really nice.

The group minus a few inside due to the cold

Pinata time

The Ninja Turtle masks we found for the kids and of course the blowers.

Seth had school pictures today. He was so excited to have his class picture taken also. In a few weeks we will have them back and I will be sure to show them off. Smiles! Also this evening was family night out at the school, which was great. They even had some one from the fire dept come out and speak. So glad Seth and I were able to go.

Hey everyone I know I have not updated this in a while. Life seems crazy sometimes and to find the time to write and post pictures, some days it just doesn't work. Seth started pre school in September and LOVES it. He is in an all day pre school which is great to prepare him for kindergarten. I put up a few photos for an update. Hope life is treating everyone well these days!
Thinking of you all, April and Seth

Stephanie comes to visit us from Cali.

Here are a few photos I wanted to share from our trip down to visit Stephanie at Camp Pendleton. We had a great time and it was sad saying goodbye to her. But so glad we got the time to visit with her. Jeff even flew in from Hawaii. The only thing missing was Lynn and Makaila.

Easter morning, look at that basket. He couldn't wait to open it.

So excited, he got a skateboard in his basket

Egg hunt time

Cousins decorating eggs together
This Easter was really special. Lynn, Mario and Makaila came up and we got to spend Easter with them. Seth and Makaila had a blast together and it was nice to have family time. Joe cooked a huge, delicious ham dinner and our good friends Kim and Jim came over. Hope everyone had a great Easter also.

Park Time

2008-03-17T07:40:00.001-07:00

Seth and I met up with Debbie and Chase at the park and let the boys have fun, while we had girl talk. Chase is one of Seth's best buddies and he is always so excited when we met up with them.
Doesn't he look so happy to be at the park?
Slide time
Seth was sure getting dirty. But Seth and Chase had fun running around together.

Baby Loves Disco

2008-02-25T10:46:00.000-08:00

Seth and I ventured up to Portland to check out this event and meet up with Stephanie, who was also bringing her 2 Goddaughters. We weren't sure what to expect but were excited. I can say it was well worth it and a blast for all. Check out their website http://www.babylovesdisco.com/
I know they will be in Portland again the last Sunday in March. Even free massages for the Parents.
Snack time. You should of seen all the fun snacks they had.

Seth's new friend, Carmella (isn't she cute) They got along so well.

It was fun watching Seth dance and hula hoop.

Seth was so fascinated with the bubble maker.

On our way back home. Seth was out in a matter of minutes.

6 Random Things about me

2008-02-22T16:17:00.000-08:00

Ok so I saw this on a friend's blog and it said give it a try so here I go.......

1. I can't hang clothes up with the same color of the hanger that the shirt or whatever it is I am hanging up is. I know weird but it bugs me and I will go out and and buy more hangers if I don't have a different color.

2. I can't stand stains on our clothes. Poor Seth, I have shout wipes with me at all times and I shout everything, even if it's just a small spot. If the stain won't come out, I will throw the item away. But I'm pretty good at gettting the stains out these days.

3. All things must have a place. I hate when something gets pulled out and doesn't get put back. I am always organizing the house.

4. Flips Flops are one of my favorite things. I try to have them in many colors to go with everything. I do have to say that is one of the many reasons I miss Hawaii, wearing my flip flops all the time.

5. When I see a digital clock I count the little lines that make up the numbers. I can't stand it when it ends up being an odd number. I'll keep counting til I can fall on an even number.

6. The towels have to be folded a certain way, and that is why I do the laundry. Even when I put them away in the closet they all must be faced with the crease in, I dont want to see it. The hand towel even must be hung the right way or I will fix it. I did get this from my Mom. Thanks Mom!!!

4 year old picture

Seth had his 4 year old pictures taken at Picture People. We just love going there. He is so handsome and such a big boy. Reminds me so much of Jeff when he was Seth's age.

friends through the years

2008-01-30T15:59:00.000-08:00

My friend Cindy with her daughter Hailey. We met so long ago back when we were 13. We've been through a lot over the years and lost contact for a while but thankfully Myspace brought us back together.
Kimmy and I. One of my best friends and she is truly wonderful and a great to buddy to Seth.
Stephanie, Debbie and I having some girl time and having laughs about good times we've had over the years.

Debbie and I friends since high school. I love it that were still close and that our boys have become buddies also. Just wish we lived closer.

My best friend

2008-01-30T15:27:00.001-08:00

Stephanie and I have been friends since 9th grade. We met at cheerleading tryouts and I knew then right away we were meant to be friends forever. After a horrible tryout and shed some tears her Mom was there to save the day and from then on we've been bestest friends. We made the team thankfully and have many fun memories and met some great friends along the way. When I became pregnant I knew right away I wanted her to be Seth's Godmother. Seth calls her Godmamma which sometimes sounds like Grandma and it's cute. She has been a wonderful friend and Godmamma and I thank her for everything.

Snow day

2008-01-30T14:22:00.000-08:00

We got snow here in the Valley and what joy it brought for Seth. I just wish the weather would make up it's mind. Getting to work has been a drag. Had to get some pictures in though. We don't always see snow here. Seth was so proud of his snowman. He even had time to stop and give me kisses in the snow.

Seth's First sleepover

2008-01-30T14:20:00.000-08:00

Seth's first 2 guests to arrive, Vincent and Jackson. This picture was too cute but afterwards made Seth get off the top of the car.
Oh so yummy cupcakes!!!!

Seth's First sleepover

2008-01-30T08:53:00.001-08:00

Chase discovered Seth's boxing gloves. They really went all for it. Was some good laughs for sure. I told Debbie she just might have to get Chase a pair of his own.
Well this year I let have Seth have his very first sleepover. Here he is opening gifts and I just love the cheesy grin on his face in this one. The sleepover was a success and all the boys had so much fun. Seth's room was a disaster but figured birthday's only come once a year. Joe made Spiderman cupcakes which were so yummy. Attempted to put the kids down for a movie about 10 and that worked for a bit. Well Vincent passed out through all the noise but the other kids finally fell asleep about Midnight. But 6am came around and they were ready to play again and woke up to snow. It was a great weekend and had Mickey Mouse pancakes for breakfast. I'm sure this is a birthday he wont forget.
