Update a month later.....

So this is going to be an extremly long post lol considering I have been MIA for over a month. A lot of things have happened in the last month and half and more things are coming in the future. So let me begin where I last left off. On April 17th we took Ethan to Santa Monica Pier and he road some of the rides, absolutely loved the water, and thought 3rd St. Promenade was pretty cool too. He kept wanting to go down where the men were fishing lol which of coarse we did not let him. For being his 1st time at the beach and one of the 1st times we let him walk around more than he was in his stroller it actually wasn’t that bad here are some pics from our trip……

The following day I found out some devastating news. My 23 yr old cousin Kaliegh had passed away unexpectedly and left behind her precious sweet 5 month old son. She was an amazing mommy and it was sooooo sad even thinking about how quickly she had gone.

We texted and talked on facebook all the time and even Shauna and her began to talk and get closer she was always trying to get me to come to Indiana telling me that my grandpa was getting old and wouldn’t live much longer and all of a sudden she is the reason we were headed to Indiana. We got word that the viewing and funeral were going to be that thur and fri and we were off making reservations to Indiana. The trip was for 6 days 5 night and did cost us a pretty penny but was worth ever cent. I got to see my dad who I havent seen in over 7 years as well as my brother, my nephew, my new niece, and all of my other family on my dad side. ;o) It was a bitteer sweet trip and at times felt like a vacation however when it came time to go to the viewing and the funeral it brought me back to the real reason we were there. :o( She looked beautiful and looked as if she did everyday. I got to spend time with her son and my uncle. It was sooo very nice to see all of my family. My brother is getting married sometime next year so I will be taking a trip out there again for their wedding hopefully with the family however Shauna hates planes and Ethan did ok this time around so we will see. Here is pictures from Indiana I will apologize now for the massive amount of pics lol…….

After getting back from our trip it has taken me quiet a while to get things back to normal, it took like 5 days before we were unpacked lol which is not like me at all. After getting the house back into order we both went back to work and got things back on track with school. Ethan is getting bigger than ever and thinks he knows it all lol. His newest thing when he gets in trouble and gets a spanking is to yell as loud as he can that “mommy hit me” which pretty much means he will let the world know if I try to discipline him in public. I usually tell him “yes I did because you were doing this….” He is definitely something else. He loves playing outside and since the weather has been so off and on this past month its so hard to go outside and play. One second its cold out and the next day is hot, I just don’t know and it makes me so mad because I just want the nice warm weather to be here already. Here are a few pics from a nice day outside in May……

Mother’s day was very nice. Shauna’s grandma Sharon was out for a visit so she got to see Ethan and we all BBQ’d on Mother’s Day (well Mike did for us) ;o) We all just hung out and had a few drinks, talked, and just made good memories I love when we all get together for family events it so much fun and we all have a blast when together. :o)

Since Mother’s day we havent been up to much of anything. Shauna has less than 2 weeks left of work before she will be laid off and a stay at home mom. Ethan will still go to school 2 days a week from 8-12 for the preschool program they have which is goo because I wanted him to still have that interaction with other kids his age even though Shauna is at home with him. Im looking forward to her being home more often I think we will become quiet spoiled of the idea lol. We have many things planned in the next few weeks just to sum up a few here they are…Vegas the 1st weekend in June, Vegas for a bachelorette party the 3rd weekend of June, a wedding the last weekend in June, Dad (Shauna’s dad) birthday which Im sure we will do something, 4th of July, Mayheim festival July 10th, Shauna’s birthday August 4th, Cowboys vs. Chargers game w/ Mike & Ang Aug 10th, Cowboy trainming camp in Oxnard the next weekend, then Angela’s birthday to end August, and Mom (Shauna’s mom) birthday beginning of Sept and Havasu hopefully in Sept with the besties for her 30th birthday. Im sure there will be many bbq’s and family/friend get together inbetween all of that as well. June, July, Aug, and Sept are our busiest months of the entire year except for December. I look forward to it all. I am also going to get back in the grove of updating the blog more often because this is way to long of a post to do monthly lol. The last thing we did recently was take Ethan to the San Bernardino County fair. It was a blast Ethan loved seeing all the farm animals, absolutely enjoyed the rides the dumbo ride was his favorite. We took him to see motocross as well which was fun until it got way cold and windy. He now has a slight cold because of our crappy weather. Here is a few pics from the fair……


Good night all and thank you for reading this novel of a post, I promise next time it will not be this long and I will probably update It after memorial day weekend which Im hoping to have a BBQ. :o) Night Night ♥
