My Mother's Day


I'm alittle late at writing this bit I wanted to share my Mother's Day!! I also hope all the mamas had a great day. I had got up around 8:30 that morning and had Starbucks and flowers waiting! All 3 of my babies had got me a single flower. My husband Chad is not a morning person at all but he was out of the house by 7:20 with the 2 older kids Lincoln was still sleeping. He ordered me a present but he did it kinda late but it's the thought. 



We got ready and had brunch at the Odyssey, we took my mom also.  It was a good morning. After we were done we went to my dads house and spent the day with my stepmom Patti, Megan my sister and Eric my brother. Went swimming and just relaxed. We stayed for a few hrs and headed home. When we got home I finished cleaning yay so much fun. 






Lilly put her handprint on a tile at school for me and she filled out a paper All about me. The things kids say... Keeping this paper forever! 








Logan just started school again, just in time to make me something :) he made me a card and a bag with his handprints as flowers and feet as butterflies. 













It's always the little things that make me happy, just seeing their faces get so excited to give me their gifts. The feeling of being a mom is unexplainable it is the best feeling. Unconditional love and just pure happiness. I'm so blessed to have 3 healthy babies. 

Till next time...

Just alittle update :)

Hello there!! I seriously can't find the time to blog I don't know how you all do it! Being a mom to 3 kids, wife, cook, maid, driver and so on by the time the kids are all in bed I just want to sit on the couch and not think of anything!
So lets see what new in our lives. Lilly will be turning 6 in June. I can't believe it, you don't realize how fast it actually goes by till you have kids. She wants to have a Taekwondo party! That's her favorite right now. She goes 4 times a week. So I'm figuring out how I'm going to do it because she wants to have it at a indoor playplace. She'll be graduating kindergarten next month also :( she's been counting down the days! She's also in AR yay!!! Reading so much! I'm so proud of her she's so smart!!
Logan oh Logan my wild child! When they say middle child syndrome they mean it. He is 120% all boy, so much energy I'm kinda jealous! He gets into everything. He's one month away from being 2 1/2. Wow feels like I was just holding my 6.2pd baby. He LOVES Spider-Man!! You ask what his name is and guess what he says?? Yup Spider-Man.... He even does all the moves. I'm trying to potty train him but he can care less. Even tho I want him out of diapers so bad I'm going to wait till he's more ready. He started school again he goes 3 days a week, doesn't really like the drop offs but when I go pick him up he tells me he had so much fun and he plays with his friends. He talks so much.
My baby Lincoln 17 months on the 15th. And he is finally walking!!! YAY!! He's a late bloomer but that's probably somewhat my fault. I spoiled him the worst always held him and never put him down. The nanny did the same thing we just couldn't help it. When I see him walking I'm like omg your walking!!!! He is 110% mamas boy doesn't want anybody but me. He's just a lover but he is a fighter too. Him and his brother are 14 months apart... They either play great or get into it there is no in-between with them. Lincoln is very independent wants to do everything on his own. My next goal with him is getting him off the bottle... He will not drink milk out of a sippy cup and it drives me crazy. I'm giving it another month. Wish me luck!
As for Chad and I we are doing amazing!! We go on date night at least once ever two weeks sometimes once a week depending on what we have going on. On the weekends we take the Harley out and go for lunch and a ride. Probably once or twice a month. It's been great! Can't wait for summer!! We purchased a new wakeboard boat last summer. You can find us at the lake and/or camping. One of our favorite thing to do. Now that the boys are older it will be that much more fun.
That's about it for right now hope you enjoyed the update on our lives
Till next time

Lilly James... My one and only princess


My baby girl, my princess, my angel, my everything. 
I gave birth to Lilly on June 19, 2007 at 6:03 pm weighing 6.7 pds and 20in long. 
The labor was easy I pushed no more then 10 mins. When she finally was here my 
body went into shock. I was hot, sweating, cold and shaking. I had no idea what 
was happening after my body calmed down I got to hold my beautiful baby for the
 first time. She was perfect in so many ways. Lilly was the perfect baby. She never 
cried, she slept thur the night at 6 weeks. She was so easy going. Her and I spent 
every single minute of everyday together until she went to school at 3. I took her 
everywhere the beach, zoo, parks, Disneyland, seaworld, legoland anywhere you 
can think she's been. She crawled at 9 months and walked at 13 months. Her first 
birthday was huge! We had a pool party at Nanas house and there was about 60 
people. It pretty much lasted the whole day, I can't believe that was over 5 years 
ago!! She's growing into such a beautiful person inside and out. She has a free 
spirit and cares about everybody and their feelings. I need to be more like her.
She's in kindergarten and loves it!! She can't wait to get into first grade. She's 
almost in AR!! She's 13 words away from it!!! She loves reading, doing her 
homework, art projects but she also loves to watch movies. She has been in alot of 
activities gymnastics, soccer, dance and now she's in taekwondo. Shes in yellow 
belt right now. And she loves it!! It has built her confidence and she sticks 
up for herself alot now. I cant believe she will be 6 in June.
I had Lilly when I was 22 and it was a life changer! She gave life so much more
meaning. She was my world and still is. You first born will always have a very 
special place in your heart; they are the reason you became a mom. Becoming a mom 
was such a blessing and I cant be any happier with how my life turned out.

Chalk table for the kiddos

The story of Chad and I

I'm going to tell you about the story of Chad and I.
We meant though a friend in 2001 I was in high school and well he was in his 20s already. After a year of knowing each other we started really hanging out and going on dates dinner movies drinks ect. We were always off and on. He had told me right when we started hanging out that I was the one he was going to marry I thought he was crazy and laughed about it. We had went our separate ways and in 2005 we reconnected. He was getting out of a crazy relationship at the end of the year and I had ended my relationship in the beginning. I was actually turning 21 that October and we ended up in Vegas for my birthday and Halloween that year. And that started our many trips to Vegas every month. In the summer of 2006 we went sky diving, trips to the river, we would go to every fair, go down to PB and spend the weekend down there. Then in October right before my 22nd birthday I found out I was pregnant. Chad and I were both in shock and couldn't believe it. I went to the dr and I was about 6 weeks already and I was due in June. We started talking about getting married and we kept going back and forth about it and then one night I was watching tv in bed and he had came home from work and he proposed to me at our house in Chatworth. We didn't know if we should wait or just do it. My mom and I had planned our wedding in a week! Yes a week and it was so stress free. We got married December 3, 2006. Our wedding song was Tim McGraw and Faith Hill It's your love. It was an amazing day! Chad was right I was going to be the one that he married.
We had a girl on June 19, 2007. I was 39 weeks and in labor from start to finish for 8 hrs. We named her Lilly James Monreal. I LOVE her name. She was an amazing baby and still is. Then we had our son Logan Paul Monreal on October 15, 2010. One of each was perfect! But we soon realized I was pregnant again!! I didn't know until I was 12 weeks and it was another boy!! He was born December 15, 2011. My boys are 14 months apart to the day. I will be doing a post about each of them. After he was born I felt like my family was complete. I love my babies so much they have my heart in the palm of their hands.
We bought a brand new wakeboard boat last summer and can't wait for this aummer. Kids will be older so that makes it easier. We love going to the lake and camping. We also going camping in the desert we have dirt bikes and a quad. Lilly has a 50 and she is just so cute riding!!!
Chad and I have had more good times then bad. Having 3 kids is a challenge but we make it work. We have date night whenever we can. We take out the Harley whenever we can, dinner, movies whatever we can get. Every year we try to plan a trip just him and I... The past 3 years have been a success hoping to plan one at the end of April to Cancun. That about sums up my life.
Well that's all for right now.
Till next time

Lincoln loves anything that has music. He gets super happy and smiles ear to ear. He loves playing with the ipad so I put on Oso. When the show actually started he got mad and I had to keep restarting it. He shakes his head 3 times and then claps. I just cant get enough of him <3

Its the little things like this that makes my heart happy.

Hope you enjoy!

Fun little project for kids

Hello ladies!
Yesterday I did this project with my 3 kids. All of them have been sick and yesterday was the first day that they all felt better.
I always go on Pinterest for ideas for the kids and this one got my eye since my oldest Lilly loves coloring.

I cleaned them and just let the kids draw whatever they wanted. After I put them all in the oven for 30 mins at 425. Let them cool down in the oven after you turn them off.

After it was all done I noticed that they lighter colors do faded lithe yellow especially. It's an awesome idea cause you you will have these plates forever and they would make great gifts!!

Let me know what you think!!
