Busy week

A rainy Friday left us doing arts and crafts half the night! Followed by some cleaning but bitting me and making me go into some crazy cleaning frenzy!!!!!



We crafted, snuggled and watched the rain! Oh and cleaned ! Lol 

Saturday morning came all to quickly as we shuffled out the door for basketball! Julian’s team won! Yay go spurs! And Jai’ is officially signed up for spring soccer! 




Saturday night was extremely rough, leaving for a even more rough start to Sunday. We missed church but I did my share of prayer! Mom and sister were in a pretty bad car accident my last night.... one of the scariest times of my life.

Once getting into the grove and plexus kicking in.... I brought Jai to get a new bike ! 😀




Spring is near! I can feel it !I love seeing the evening sun shine into my living room onto my plants! It’s ridiculous how much I adore my plants haha. I miss being home more and watching the sun move across the sky, casting shadows differently as the seasons change. It’s silly how we take such little things for granted ! 



Hump day

Happy Valentine’s Day!!! 💕
I am not quite sure how I managed to not put these pictures on the last update... but here it is. 
Juju and his team was tailing their opponent on saturdays game. At one point I caught ju and his friends, taking a knee, putting in an extra prayer and making a game plan! I jus thought it was the cutest thing!




Yesterday’s fiasco- it was a busy, and long day at work... followed by a meeting. I thankfully was able to skip out a bit early in order to still get ju to his basketball practice. It was also Jai’s last day of his reading challenge! So that meant reading while bubba was on the court! Jai’ worked extremely hard, and we read in all of our spare time! We read 20 minutes each night, which means Jai’ exceeded my goal set for him by a entire 60 minutes!!!! He read 200 minutes total! 
And I am so proud to say, his growth and familiarity with common site words, and connecting words have become fluent. I even think he may have gone up in a reading level because of how fluent he is reading on his current reading level. 
So thank you all for your generous contributions to his fundraiser! And for supporting Jai’! It means a lot!




After basketball, it was a hustle and bustle until bed! It’s been a crazy busy day. Jai’ decided he wanted to wear his “ sleep shades” to bed. 😂 okayyyy- what ever works? 
Sure enough... he sleep asleep with them on! I got a good laugh from it, and got a picture for keepsakes !


For Valentine’s, I got the boys each books! Julian has been reading, Dog Man, so he got the next book of their series! And Jai’ has a new love for the biscuit books! In addition, I decided to start a new tradition. Well- continue my paw paws tradition. 
Each and every Valentine’s Day, he would get my mim(Grandmaw) a box of Whitman’s chocolate( yellow box) and get me a small box of heart chocolate.
Well I did the same except I got sugar free, so ju could enjoy more without reservation! 🙂

Anyways, I hope you all have a great Valentine’s Day!


I was so blessed to spend lunch with Julian! I love being around him in his environment! He’s such a great kid, I just when I think I couldn’t love him more - i love him MORE! 

Dinner was followed by a great dinner with great friends! Who spoil me way more than I deserve! I’m forever thankful!

Long Long over due

My intentions are always good. I would love to be updating this daily.. like I did once upon a time. BUT life has got so busy, its hard to find 10 minutes for myself, but less 45 to blog. I come back here often, to reminisce on times. This blog tells our story for quite the number of years. I want to attempt once more to bring it back. To resume blogging, if not daily, maybe weekly? Maybe every Sunday, if nothing more.


Josh has been gone once again, in KEY WEST this time. The house is so lonesome without his spunk, and whit.

Julian has been playing basketball. He is doing stellar. I love seeing him so passionate for a sport, and off of electronics for a change. He scored his first 3 pointer during his game yesterday, and I thought he would going to shoot through the roof with excitement.



 Jai', well we have been reading in almost every spare minute. We read so muchhh! He is coming along. Much better than he was just a couple weeks ago. His school is doing a fun raiser, and so far we have raised $180 dollars to donate! This has been very motivating for Jai'! He loves the thought of helping the school to buy new books.. and his class to get a pizza and pajama party.





That's all for today, quick easy and simple update. I will try to do better from here on out. Yes I'm aware that you've head that exact line a time or two. lol No judgement needed, okay? :P
Love...


Funny remark of the day: This is random, but I want it documented so that later I can come back to read this, and laugh..

Setting it up for you ::Julian has always asked how he came out of my belly? Since he was small he would think that that I pooped him out. lol..

with that in mind..

Today I make pizza for the boys as their lunch.
I always pick pepperonis off Jai's pizza, as he don't like them( or bacon, or fudge,.. or French fries, or a lot of common things American's eat daily.)
As I give Jai his pizza with no evidence of pepperoni.. he takes one bite and exclaims," I taste pepperoni! "
Julian replies," what is wrong with you?? Where did you even come from??"
I chimed in, " Mars, HE is def. from Mars."
Julian was quick to add.." NO not Mars, he is from Uranus!"
and before I could even think of my next thought Jai states," that's pretty correct, because I did come out of mommy's butt" LOL
