Pumpkin Carving!!!

Last Sunday we finally got to carve our pumpkin. It was one of the few hours we had when Ryan wasn't practicing for something! Nathan was super exited because he got to pick out the pumpkin and i was right behind him in the excitement meter because this was the first time I was going to carve a pumpkin. But since I'm not good at ALL with knifes I let Ryan do all the carving while I supervised. We tried to take turns letting the boys clean out the inside of the pumpkin but Nathan totally refused to stick his hand in the pumpkin, Isaac would a finger in the pumpkin and scream "EEWWW!!!", Benjamin was the only one of the kiddos to take some of the "guts" out but he was totally disgusted throughout the whole ordeal. So the cleaning was left up to Ryan and I (Ryan did most of the cleaning). After the whole carving I decided to be a good mom and clean out the seeds so we could toast them and enjoy them. Unfortunately I toasted them a bit to much, so Nathan, Isaac, and I are the only ones enjoying the semi burnt seeds.

Let the carving begin!! Nathan "helping Ryan".



EEWW was shouted by all three boys!!

Benjamin totally disgusted by having to clean out the pumpkin!!

Isaac barely getting his finger in the pumpkin.

YUMMY!!! Does this say anything about my cooking???

TA DA!!!! Good pumpkin carving honey!!!

Weekend in Albuquerque!!

Last weekend we went to Albuquerque to have a specialist look at Isaac's hand. Which only led to another appointment with a micro hand surgeon in November. Hopefully this next specialist can fix Isaac's fingers. While we were in Albuquerque Grandpa Richie and Grandma Cheri had a joint birthday bash for the boys. They had a blast!! And how could they not when they had the 4 "p's"(pizza, pasta, pinata, and presents.)

Nemo pinata. The kids had no problem hitting Nemo once they found out it was full of candy.

Resourceful Grandpa Richie used one of his ties for a blind fold.

Benjamin totally CHEATED!!!!

While Nathan did a couple of ninja moves.

Isaac was way to little to even make it hard for.

Uncle Greg was having WAY to much fun making the kids miss the pinata.

After having the kids hit the pinata for 15 mins. with no candy to show, daddy decided to hit the pinata. He missed judged his super strength, but it did get the loot out.

Happy 7th Benjamin!!!

Happy 4th Nathan!!!

Happy 2nd Isaac!!!

Even more resourceful was Uncle Greggy and his gift wrapping for the boys!!

On Saturday the family went to the Albuquerque Temple with Shana-banana for her first time.

But the best part of the whole weekend was when we went out to eat and the boys totally ignored me and stayed with daddy during dinner!!! This was the first time in years that I truly got to enjoy a meal.

Happy 4th Birthday Nathan!!!

Nathan's Birthday was last Sunday Oct. 5th. I know I'm pretty lame just posting about his birthday but life as been kinda crazy. I can't believe my little opinionated man is already four years old. It seems like just yesterday Ryan and I were driving to the hospital calling family to let them know it was time. That was the night that grandpa Richie broke many many many speeding laws trying to get to Las Cruces in time to see his first grandson. And after 8 hours of delivery, which I totally did not mind because of the wonderful drugs given to me by that angel anesthesiologist, little Nathan Ryan Williamson was placed in my arms, but not before grandpa and dad checked to make sure he had all ten fingers and toes.

Here are some pics of Nathan's Pirate Birthday Party:

A special thanks to my daddy-o for providing nachos, which I had been craving, and delicious hot dogs. And to Krystle and Barry Ricks for Nathan's awesome Pirate cake.

Oops We Did It AGAIN!!!!!

That's right ladies and gentlemen after taking three test we have decided that we are indeed PREGNANT!!!!! Yikes, what were we thinking? Wait, that's right we weren't. Am I seriously ready for four kids running a muck in my home?? Or will the addition of another really make much of a difference?? As it is now I can barely make a dent in the daily mess that my three monkeys make, so will another one really make a difference???? Oy vey!!! I mean don't get me wrong the prospect of the tiny spec of a chance of having a baby girl is wonderful! And I do love babies, but I won't lie. I do feel a bit, well not a bit, I feel very overwhelmed by the idea right now. We still have no idea how far I'm along right now. I have my 1st doctors appointment on Oct. 7th, so till then I have no due date but I will let ya'll know.

For the Hubby!!!

I've been noticing a trend in my posts lately, and that has been Ryan babysitting a lot so I can go out and have some fun. He is actually going to watch the kiddos again today so I can go to Jenni Miller's baby shower. He works, goes to church, and comes home to watch the kids for me to have a break but he really never gets a break for himself. The latest thing was softball and that only lasted one weekend. So I decided to dedicate this post to this great man and maybe let him take Saturday mornings to do whatever he likes.

Top ten reasons I love Ryan so much I could eat him:

1. He loves me. How can you beat that!! Someone who truly cares for you.

2. He is a great father. He will do anything and everything to make his boys happy.

3. He works his tushy off, so I can stay home and take care of the kiddos.

4. He has an old soul.

5. He puts up with my hot temper. And man do I have one, I am Mexican you know.

6. He makes me laugh till I snort. Yes, yes, I do snort but the important thing here is that Ryan can always bring me up when I'm feeling down.

7. He has an AMAZING voice. I get my own personal musical performances.

8. He dreams with me but also knows when to bring me down to the real world without crushing me.

9. The way he does the S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT dance from "How I married an Axe Murderer" its both hilarious and sexy!!!

10. His eyes, brown with specks of gold with so much wisdom in them.

Flygirl in the Making (if only In Living Color was still playing!!)!

Yesterday I went to my first day of adult hip-hop at Cheryl's School of Dance. And man did I have a blast!! There were like 30 of us there!! I so totally did not expect a full work out, actually I'm not quite sure what I expected but man I was dying in the warm-up. We actually had to do crunches and push up like exercises. Not that I should really complain I mean I need them. And then we went to dancing, or in my case trying desperately not to look like a major idiot. I'm not sure if I got the "pop" right but I did have a blast. Again I have to thank my wonderful husband for watching the kiddos so I could get my groove on! And thank you to my wonderful teacher Meagan who had patience and didn't laugh hysterically at us, I mean she did laugh at us but not hysterically.

Girl's Day Out!!

Saturday I had the opportunity of going out with Kim and Maria for a day of pampering and shopping. We went to Roswell to the beauty college so that we could treat ourselves to some much needed TLC. I have to admit I was a bit worried when we pulled up to the beauty college. I thought it looked quite ghetto. But I'll let ya'll judge for yourself.

But it turned out to be a really good salon you could say. Maria and Kim thoroughly enjoyed their pedicures and I love my nails. Although I am having a hard time unbuckling the kids car seats. Afterwards we went shopping downtown and got caught in a huge rain storm, our lovely hairdos (because we had to look cute for our day out) went kaput!! We then headed to Apple bee's for some delicious lunch. Why is it that when you don't cook the food is always so much better???? Then of course more shopping at Target and Sam's Club where I think Kim could have bought the whole store if we would have stayed there longer. It was an awesome girls day and it made me miss my hubby and boys. I'm so glad I have such a wonderful hubby that was willing to stay home and take care of three super active boys so that I could have a break. I love you hunney! And thanks to Maria and Kim for inviting me, I'm ready for the next one!

Showing off my nails.

Very happy after our pampering!

Captain Destructo Strikes Again!!!

The last night Ryan and I were watching TV trying to wind down from our day when I realized that the kiddos had been quiet for quite some time. This is not something usual in our home! So I got up and went to check on the boys, and that's when I realized that Capt. Destructo (Isaac) had been at it again. I quickly called Ryan over so he could see what HIS son had done.

Yes Isaac took the closet door down and began using it as a ramp for his car and a slide for himself. And what did his siblings do?? Well they joined right in but quickly ratted him out when I questioned them. Oh the joy of having sons!!!

Random Nathaness

Nathan and trying to convince Ryan that we need a baby:

Nathan-"We need to have a baby dad and it needs to be a girl."

Ryan-" No son, we don't need a baby."

Nathan-"Yes dad, we do and if its not a girl I'm going to put you in time-out!"



Me trying to convince Nathan to eat dinner:

Me-"Nathan please just try the casserole it's got chicken and rice. You like chicken and rice."

Nathan-"No mom it looks gross I'm NOT trying that!!!"

Me-"Nathan just try it and if you don't like it you don't have to eat it."

Nathan-(crinkles nose and takes a bite while holding his breath)"You were right mom! This wasn't disgusting after all. It was quite delicious!! You're a great cooker-chef!
