Fun Filled Weekend

Well we had a family fun weekend....To start, Chase had his best basketball game EVER.  He was amazing.  (Might have had a little something to do with the fact that I let him have 2 swallows of my Monster Energy Drink before the game)  But seriously he was an animal.  He scored the first 5 points of the game in about 1 minute.  And if you have ever seen 5 & 6 year olds play basketball, its like watching paint dry, 5 points in any 60 second increment is monumental in this kind of game J  And 1 of these points was a free throw, which he so desperately wanted to shoot (Before the game he asked me how he can get a free throw during the game and after explaining it to him I think he thought I meant he had to shoot every time he touched the ball)  But regardless he played amazing even his coach kept saying “pass to chase” “pass to chase”  Very proud parent day J  Here is a video of Chases free throw.

We decided that after such a great game we would reward chase by letting him pick out a family activity we could all go and do together.  So he picked out bowling.  So the three of us went bowling and had a great time.  I WON which Jared wasn’t very happy about and of course said his knees were hurting blah blah blah It was so much fun (did I mention I won) J 

Heres a few pics of us bowling

Well little Cuesa is feeling a little better.  She somehow weaseled her little head out of her cone last night while sleeping and daddy woke up with it next to him.  So I put it back on this morning and hopefully it’ll still be on when I get home.  She’s supposed to wear it until Saturday…we shall see how this goes

On my way into work this morning I saw a car in front of me with SNOW on it.  Yup reread that I said SNOW.  Unbelievable.  This past weekend it was so cold that it snowed in the higher altitudes and didn’t melt yesterday cause it was so cold.  I almost died laughing when I drove past this chick and she had half her windshield covered in snow too. Ummmmm windshield wipers will work for a tiny bit of snow too.  I could have brushed it off with my hands with no gloves.  I was like ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW.  You have a ¼ inch of snow on your windshield and you couldn’t wipe it off.  But very amusing on my ride in.  Here a pic…obviously traffic was quite slow J

Cuesa and her Cone

 

Fly by February

I cant believe February is almost over (I know it’s a short month and all, but it seemed to fly by)  We have been in our new house almost three weeks and things still aren’t where I want them L  We have been so busy.  Jared has been working “swing shift” at work which means he works anywhere from 10am-3am.  So he is pretty much always at work or sleeping right now L  So that leaves me and Chase on our own for now.  I typically take Chase to school and Jared has picked him up.  I go in later and he gets off earlier so it just works out better.  However since this whole work time change, things have been a little hectic.  Im still taking Chase to school (which he is still going to the same school he did when we lived 20 min south of where we live now – so with traffic it takes me over an hour to bring him to school and get to work and that’s on a good day)  Well now Im picking him up too and that’s another minimum of 90 minutes of driving.  So im averaging about 2 ½ hours in the car EVERYDAY right now.  I soooooo cant wait for this swing shift crap to be OVER.  But at least I get to spend some nice quality time with my buddy.  I love picking him up from school and have him tell me all about his day.  He is so excited to get it all out and tell me how he did.

Well as much as I hate to complain about my weather it has been freezing here J  I do NOT like it when I leave the house and its only 50 degrees.  It does get to the high sixties during the day, but still I wish it was warm when I wake up.  (but still soooooo much better than Syracuse – I feel bad for my family and friends and all the snow they have) 

This past weekend Jared and I went to Vegas for a basketball tournament and we had a blast.  (However the 8 ½ hour drive there and 10 hour drive back SUCKED…its typically maybe a 4-5 hour drive if your slow and with the traffic cause of the holiday weekend and the rain we were bearly crawling the whole time)  Again you would think it would be HOT in Vegas, but noooo quite the opposite. It was freezing and RAINING (It rains in the desert, apparently I missed the memo…….but I got it on Friday)  Jared’s knees didn’t seem to bother him too much in the games.  In fact, I think it was by far the best he has played since he got his surgery.  He was very aggressive and even was dunking during practices.  He is still getting stronger, but def a major improvement. 

Here is a couple pics from the weekend.

Chase is still doing very well at basketball.  He only has 2 games left in the season so we are almost finished.  I feel like we just started.  I like seeing that he enjoys it a lot.  I’m sure it helps that he’s pretty good, because he is not a fan of things he sucks at J Here is a little video of him at practice the other night.

Cuesa is at the Vet today getting spayed.  I know I know why didn’t we do it a looooooong time ago.  Well no real reason, just didn’t get around to it.  So I’m hoping my little princess comes home today and isn’t to sore or hurt.  We are looking forward to NO MORE being in heat.  I’m sure lots of other people have it much worse, but Jared really gets grossed out by it.  So I know he will be happy J Ill have to take a pic of her and her big cone head tonight when I pick her up.

Hopefully after this weekend we will have a LOT of stuff finished at the house.  We don’t have any plans and nothing is going on which is GREAT news cause we need some sleep and work done at the house

Just a couple cute pics from this weekend. 

Dinner at El Torito

Saturday morning basketball game

Long time no blog.....

Well Well well I think it is about time I updated our family blog.  You would think we fell off the face of the earth.  We have just been super busy.  We had a great Christmas.  (Yes I know it is February and I am talking about Christmas….SAD) Jared and I got to spend some time together while Chase was at his moms for about a week.  We didn’t go anywhere this year we stayed in San Diego and enjoyed the wonderful weather.  Sorry for all you Northerners that have a TON of snow….so glad I am not there.  Chase got Monopoly for Christmas from Grandma Dianne and he made us play it immediately.  The game took us two nights to finish cause we haven’t played it in 20 years and had to read alllll the directions.  (Jared likes to make up rules as he goes)  Oh and here a cute pic Cuesa in her X-mas sweater too 

We got to go out and have a nice New Years Eve together which I don’t think we have ever done.

 We recently moved into a house from our 2 bedroom apartment.  We are very happy.  Our house has 3 bedrooms, a HUGE kitchen, 2 living rooms, a 2 car garage and a nice inground pool with a hot tub that flows into it.  Very rare to find such a nice house that we can afford here in San Diego so we are so EXCITED.  Chase is too. He keeps saying he can just walk out back and do a cannonball, but he hasn’t yet.  Its still too cold out.  Its only like low 70’s here hahaha

Heres a couple pics.  I will post more once I get everything put away and decorated (We just moved in last weekend) Here is a pic of the boys painting one of the bedrooms.  I think its so cute.

Chase’s Beiber hair was getting a little too long for me so I made him cut it.  He wanted a “frohawk” so he could be like dad.  So heres his two hair stages J  He is too funny, he thinks he is so cool with this new style.  Oh and Jared made him look like Alfalfa with his hair before we got it cut…obviously we are a super exciting family J

He looks like 3 different little boys to me. 

For my birthday my dad made me an AWESOME makeup box.  He spent hours upon hours working on it and I cant explain how much I love it!!!!  It is probably my favoritist thing in the whole world.  He did sucha great job!

We haven’t done too much exciting just been busy packing to move and unpacking.  Hopefully we will get settled in here in the next week and relax for a while.  We did make a fun family trip to Dave and Busters which is Jared and Chases FAVORITE place to go eat so we frequent it a lot.  Here a few pics of us on our way.

I now realized why I haven’t blogged in a while I guess not that much has gone on with us,  even though I said we have been busy.  I guess school, work and basketball have been keeping us busy. Oh yeah,  Chase is playing basketball.  He is actually quite good.  Ill have to take a video to show everyone him.  He is just like his Daddy.
