Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

Spongebob Square Pants.
So the movers have decided that we don't need our stuff, that we can just wait forever to get it. They were suppose to be here with our stuff a week ago, then yesterday, now they say Monday. Keep your fingers crossed that it actually happens Monday. We have the keys to the Condo and are ready to move in, but we need our stuff. The upside to this, we went and stayed in a nice hotel here in Miami for the weekend. While we were at the other hotel they were having a Nickelodeon Getaway so we decided it would be fun, and it was!!! The night before all the games and stuff started they brought these Spongebob sleepover kits up the boys love them. Then the next day we got to go meet and greet with Spongebob and Dora the boys were so excited. That night we had a dive in movie (suppose to be at the pool, but the weather was bad so we had in a restaurant there) The next morning we had breakfast with Spongebob and Dora where the kids did more dancing than eating, but it was a lot of fun! Then we headed to the pool for crafts and games. The girls that were running the games and everything were amazing and did such a good job with the kids. There were slime balloons and pies being thrown in faces, my face to be exact. Tallin had seen a commercial on TV one time about the Nickelodeon Getaway and knew that they slimed people and he couldn't wait to be SLIMED!! He won the first game so he got slimed, then he was the winning captain of the next game so he got really slimed. Colt also had a chance to get slimed. We really did have a blast. That night there was another movie with popcorn and green drinks.
These pictures are of the breakfast.





These are pictures of the crafts we did. They colored cookies with flavored markers then ate them. They also made postcards, and little spongebobs with sponges :)





These are all the pictures of the games and stuff.










We had a really good time. I think the boys favorite part was getting slimed they loved it. I played one of the games with them and ended up with a pie in my face luckily it's not on film lol. The boys thought it was so funny.

We made it!!!

Well we made it... Miami is beautiful and so far I LOVE it! I haven't taken many pictures yet because we have been pretty busy. But I wanted to do a quick update. We got here Monday night. We flew out of El Paso Monday morning and it was a long day. The boys did great and it was so nice to have Jasons help with all the traveling. Tuesday we went and looked a couple places to live but didn't really like any. Tuesday night I got a hold of a Realtor and he took us around Wednesday morning and we found a place to live. We are just renting for a while then we will see what happens from there. We are still working out a few details but hopefully we will have everything settled and ready to move in when our stuff gets here next week. We found a condo that we LOVE it's so nice and in a really cool area. We can walk to everything. There is shopping, restaurants and Tallins school is all right there and I am way excited about it. Here is a pic of the building. They are all high rises and the boys are really excited about the elevators!

I will take more pictures in the next few days. I am still trying to get used to the time difference ugh!

All my bags are packed....

I am almost ready to go.
The boys are asleep, and it is now quiet and lonely. I really haven't liked night time much since January when Jason started working out of town. Tonight I am a little more hopeful and happy, because my nights of being alone are almost over. Only three more nights to be exact. We meet Jason in El Paso Sunday then we will all fly out together on Monday. We are driving to El Paso to leave our car with the storage stuff so it can all come together with the movers. Then Miami Florida here we come!!!! I am so excited and so happy. I can't wait to be a family again, I am not even sure how that's going to be j/k. It does feel like it's been forever. It hasn't all been bad being a "single mom" I've grown a lot, accomplished some goals, became a little more independent and stonger. All these things I could have done with Jason being with me (which is always better) but because he was gone it forced me a little more. I am proud of myself, Jason and the boys for all holding it together and I believe coming out stronger. I know our Heavenly Father has been there for us every step of the way and we have been blessed.

Tallin is a little worried about school. He asked this morning if the kids in Florida would be starting school when he got there and I told him they already started, he got pretty upset because he doesn't want to start when they have already started. But he adjusts well and makes friends really easy so I am hoping things go smoothly. Tomorrow is his last day of school here and I think he is just a little sad, but I know he will be OK.
I can't wait to start our new adventure in Miami and have my wonderful Husband back! Beaches, sun and fun!

Makutus Island Birthday Bash

Tallin is officially 6 years old! I can't believe it still... Am I really old enough to have a 6 year old? Tallin is so cute and so happy to be 6, he keeps telling me that since he turned 6 he is 2 inches taller, then he will go to point out things that used to be (like a week ago) smaller then him, like the kitchen counters lol.. The kid cracks me up some of the stuff he says is so funny. He is always talking, I mean always even in his sleep he talks. He bounces all over the place while he is talking too, one subject to the next. When I pick him up from school he is always standing there talking to what ever grown up is helping him, it's usually the principle. I can usually tell what he is talking about without even hearing him because he gets his hand into it so much. I try to credit that to all the Sign Language I taught him as a baby but it's probably just a kid thing. He is a fun kid and we are so happy to have him in our home. I know Colt is especially happy to have him, they are the best of friends and Colt loves him so much. He asks me 100 times a day if it's time to pick Tallin up from school yet. We love you Tallin!



We celebrated Tallins birthday with some great friends and family at Makutus Island in Tempe. We had a blast!! Some of the adults even went up into the tree houses to play. I wish I would have gotten more pics of the kids playing on all the stuff but they were running around to much it was hard. Thank you everyone who came we really appreciate it and it wouldn't have been the same without you!

We are so happy you had a wonderful birthday!
