breath

today, I just breathed...it seemed like the thing to do.

We will moving the studio over to the Wellness center tomorrow...so, thank you HOA of spyglass hill, for keeping up on my blog! I appericated it very much; and felt somewhat honored that you took time to stop by to read all about how much i think CC&R Stink, and find them to be the furtherest thing from my American RIGHT! - So thank you! You can now leave me and my -built- up - on my own Pilates Studio alone! Be GONE!
By, the way Ms. GURU of CC&R...you are the FURTHEST thing from a GURU

Priceless Interaction!

Last night, it was so sweet...Peter took us out for dinner (this is NOT unusual). So, noah shouts out, "Let's go to denny's!" (they have the best Kids meals, because they come in shapes and colors, and cool name titles for the dishes.) So, off we went to Dennys!

After dinner Peter again, so sweet!, got Noah into the Tub (this is kidda unusual.... all I can say is...Basketball, Football, baseball...ya, that's when they are on, during bathtime...teheheh), However, i finished it up ;)~ ..oh total sidenote: do you watch Lifetime, I do...total Female thing, but anywho, you have to watch You're Mama Can't Dance!....I HATE the Title of the show, but supper cute. It's these dancers, who get picked to be on this show, not knowing that they are going to get a Dance partner- after they get told that, then find out that their dance partner is their mom(for boys) / Dad (for girls) and they compete...it's like all the other shows...you call in, who ever gets the lowest score has to leave the show. I think it's 6 boys and 6 girls....It is the funniest, sweetest, most touching thing! on TV right now-...Too cute... one of the judges' name is Vitamin C...thehehe so lifetime!

so, back to where I was...After Noah's bath, I decompress, with my little guy! It was just what myself ordered! I have been sooo Stressed out for the past...month and a half, that yesterday, i begain to see myself in others around me, so, i had to give advise....then take my advise. DESTRESS!!! LET IT BE!!!...HAVE SOME PLAY TIME!! So, Noah says to me, with this two sided sea puzzle in his little hand, "mommy, you help me, wit dis puzzle."...that was after about 10minutes on hug time ( i hug and kiss OFTEN). I said "ok!" ...well he gets out this puzzle....and it was hard!!!! (i haven't done a puzzle in a while, because Noah is soo good at them, and he only needs my help every once in a while). He of course, has done this puzzle like a 100 times...so, while we where doing the puzzle, I got my camera, and practiced what I had learn at this EOS website. here is my little ham!

This puzzle has 4 sections to it, a crab, turtle, a star fish, and another crab... So, I say, I'll take the turtle, and noah say, " ok,! i do the crab."...and off we started...I needed a break real quick, I had to get my camaera & some water, I come back and he was like, half done with crab!... so, now I HAVE to get a move on...I twisted, and turned thoses little pieces...I match some, I didn't match some...I say to Noah,"Noah, give me the box, i need to see the picture...", Here is a piture that shows his LOVELY well put together crab to my mangled turtle...

When he was done with his Crab, and I was still working the turtle,I say to him, "Noah, this hard!! How do you do it soo fast!"..he responds back with,"let's pray mom!" He folds his little hands together and puts his head down...I do the same and wait for him to start in and after a sec., he says, "pray, mom..." so, i did! I thanked the Lord for this time playing with noah, Amen. Noah then says, in a powerful voice, "JESUS CHRIST, THE PUZZLE! amen. " It was the CUTEST thing!!! so back went to finishing the puzzle, i do have to admit, after naoh asked for help, jesus did pull through for us!uummmm, ya, this would be Noah's 2nd part, to my first part of the puzzle! Noah would tell, me while I was complaining about how hard it was for me, "focus, mom, focus!" Product of a trainer's son!

After i completed my part of the puzzle, Noah says, to me... "Good job mommy!"....and gives me a High Five...

With two pieces missing...WE FINISHED!!!! we gave each other high fives...noah danced around a bit and then he says to me...."let's do the back side"..and does this
HAHAHA, just makes you laugh at how differently, we see things from a child's eye, to an adults eye!- have a get weekend!

Noah's Exciting Day!...

Bird Killing!!!!....hhaaaa just kidding..well, not really, just the "killing" part. He went hunting with his Uncle Billy (my oldest bro) last Saturday... they had sooo much fun...so I heard ;) . I do like to go shot, but i haven't done it since 2001 and don't see myself going anytime soon...now if i were to get invited..whole another story..I would go and most likely, have fun with it...don't mess with I'm loaded...!!! (does feel good to say that ;) ) ok here are some fun pictures bill gave to me..

Look at Noah looking at the dead bird!!! it is sooo funny...he really is into all those "boy"things...just a side note, for example, if we take mekmek to the vet...there's noah checking things out,( when getting her temp read....) then he comes back with..."mommy, why is it in mekmek's butt hole..." look at that face ! soo funny...

There's the happy hunters!!! sooo cute...my little guy with a gun!!! (ok that sounded a little sick...)

ok I'm going to try video which I have never done before..wish me luck!

I think it's still downloading...lucky you the reader, doesn't have to wait for this little...speed bump!..see what i'm saying with that word!...then you're not swearing...which I do tend to do ;)

ok for some reason, that I don't know...the video will not show the picture...some setting I don't have a clue about...oh well...if I can get it up later I will...but i want to share with you a cute thing on the video...After billy shot his first bird...noah says, "uncle billy, you a good hunter"...then replied about dead bird..."are we going to eat that? "....

I wish these pictures where just a little bigger...but they're not!!! Look at baxtor's tongue! This dog, Baxtor is such a "boy"...I think he is just about a year old....completely opposite, from bill's older dog, Nitro...who we all LOVE! talk about a gem! ...but back to baxtor, so Jen, would put it in these words..."he's a punk!"...and he is!!! it's soo funny, cause he's a total attention hog, and so bill and jen relly have to be on him around ethan...but now that ethan is walking...and somewhat talking...if baxtor get's in ethan's way...ethan takes his little arm..and kindda sweeps him away..and baby talks to him...most likely say..."MOVE OUT OF MY WAY!!" ...but i have heard he is a very good hunting dog! Here is a picture of noah and baxtor

The two kids hunting!....Baxtor you are soo funny!...dodidodidodidodi-...k, well totally bummed about the video I will work on it...no i wont...i have too many other things I have to get to- so maybe tonight orwhatever-...enjoy your sneezes!

Ok let me just say...

ok so, the truck, I have no idea what year or model or all that every inportant stuff that men like to ask tehehehe....

Back to where I was....And some every cool windchimes.... as said before I have such a load of pictures it is hard to pick...


So, after the birthday party that GK and Noah went to, they stopped by and checked out Dave's ktichen he is working on!...

I used that smugging thingy on the car...thanks bets- for the tip!...maybe could do a little more...and at last Dave and the Kitchen!

I think it looks better in BW-...ok just two more picture...Dave has done such as awesome job on his Kitchen...He and his Son, Jason are doing it together...so while we were there dave put in his ktichen sink

Dave and Jason you two are doing such an awesome job...I know how much time goes into tileing...but cupboards and all the other- what a job! you go boys!...It was such a nice, peaceful, relaxing , (and exciting for me and camera)...day - we soo needed it and deserved it after that Saturday cleaning day!...

I'm sorry that i'm not the best daily blogger, but you know what they say...if you can do something three weeks in a row, it becomes a habit....maybe, three weeks after the wedding I can concentrate on that... ;)..Ok so I've got too much on my plate, I need to figure out what I'm doing for Noah's birthday...NEXT>>>> on the list-

Watch out Life is HERE!

I can blessfully say that the Studio drama has ended! Sometimes, you need a good, long, hard, migrain, cry to get you over the speed bumps...(side note: I have decided to use speed bump for irritating things that happen, due to how fast life is...). I started boxing up the house on Thursday, finished on Friday! Saturday Peter and I totally did team work on cleaning our house...He ROCKS! while Noah was at a play date...(thank you Lord!)...Peter got our bathroom so clean it still smells like bleach... I can only imagine what that did to his head (tehehehe). I made that clean sooo clean you could eat off the floor... and Noah's room was Amazing. It was soo funny, Noah after his paly date, was soo wiped out due to his exciting day (more on that later-) that he fell asleep before he saw his clean room...So he wakes up on Sunday morning, and yells, "MMMOOOOMMMM....DDDAAADDDDDD...what happened to my room!" Peter answers, "we cleaned it for you".... He come running into our room, and says sternly, " mom! come with me, something happened to my room!"... I get up and go to his room, once in there, I say very excitingly, "OH! how nice Noah, your room looks so nice....the cleaning fairy did such a nice job!" He notices every thing...mom where is this, why did that get pt in here, it goes over there... too funny- he then says to me, " the cleaning fairy is invisible mom!" (thank you, noah for that fact!)... Our realitor was sooo impressed by how great the house looked. On Sunday morning, i did some last minute clean up while peter went to clean the hall....by 12:30 we were out the door!

GK, peter's mom, took noah to a cousin's birthday party, while Peter and i went down to San Martin, to his other cousin's ranch! Of course i took my camera! It was soo nice to have down time away from it all. I was able to use Dave's ranch at my photography haven....man, it is going to be sooo hard to pick...so just my faves.

I was soo drawn to this cute tree/ bird house... I want to become tinker bell and fly right up in there and hang out...It was sooo nice out.. I think it was maybe about 70 degrees with a breeze...just beautiful and quite.





There's cousin Dave and Peter, beer in hand on the back side of his Barn...He drives that tracker to plow the land that's in the back....

oopss I think I played with a feature, and forgot and hit save...well, you get the point that there is a TON of space and land. which is becoming more and more uncommon for this area....Soo sad :(

This is only a peek as to what else he has in his barn!

Just a quickie ;)

I just wanted to give an update on the Studio drama!.... Well, first off let me let you know, I have come to terms that i HAVE to move my studio out of the garage. The great gods of the HOA of Spy Glass hill never got back to me on the subject of allowing me to stay in the garage, until I move. By the letter I received, it seems that they have decied to skip over that answer and just remind me that they will be sending someone over to see if I turned my "conversion" back to a car storage.... I simply replied back stating, fyi it takes long than a month to find the right spot for my studio, plus now I have scheduling conflicts that I NEVER have had to deal with! uuugggg- so, on the peaceful side of things. I went out yesterday evening and checked out a wellness center to maybe move my studio. It seemed as if it would fit me and my style/personality well. I am just waiting on the numbers.

i had to let my morning clients know this would be the last month I could do mornings... I felt awful, when telling them... yesterday I was just SAD! I have worked soo hard on my studio, i'm in debted to make this studio work and be successful, and i really didn't think I would be moving out of my house at lest for another 5 years! Sure maybe another co-worker and what not, but I just didn't think I would find myself kicked out of my garage. JUST SAD... I put every dime and energy into this studio....and it has be riped from me...

I know it will be fine...everything always works out, it's just the inbetween time that feels helpless, unknown- and I HATE that. I like knowing don't we all?... It's times like these that I wish I could just be almost 5, palying, and thinking about pizza-
