The Next David Beckham

Or at least close to it! I signed Aidan up for the YMCA Youth soccer today! I'm so excited! He is going to have a blast! It's a group for 3-4 year olds. They don't have games but teach the skills and just have fun! I guess I can literally be a soccer mom now!!! lol Now I just need the van!

I scored a deal on the gear! I got adidas cleats, shinguards, and soccer socks for $8 on yardsales.com. They were all brand new. The lady had spent over $40, only for her son to decide that he wanted to do karate instead!

Ashie is MR. Personality! He has been a little under the weather but I think it makes him a little silly! He has started to ask questions (other than HUH?). Like what did you say, where is it, whats that. Not that it's that clear. Its only in a language I understand lol! He is associating things with people. For example, he knows who's cell phone is who's, who's shirt is who's, etc. He is OBSESSED with dogs and motorcycles! I wish I could capture his reaction when he hears a motor! It's too cute!

Tomorrow we have to clean the apt ugh! I would like to get SOME deposit back!! Off to bed. I have been drinking this sleepy time green tea before I go to bed and I feel like it knocks me on my feet (it's nothing herbal or funny its just normal grocery store hot tea lol!)

Aidan's 3rd Fireman's Birthday Party!

Well we had (aka we survived) Aidan's 3rd birthday party at the fire station! I was so very tired last night! My body even hurt this morning lol (I know very sad!). Anyways the boys had so much fun! The little boy in the picture with Aidan is his cousin Paul. The party was also for him, so we just combined their two parties. His birthday is March 2.

We invited eight children, ages 8-1, and they all had a blast! They got to tour the fire trucks, spray the hose, and watch a fireman put on his gear! Aidan was most excited saying, "Is that fire truck for meeee?" He had big saucier eyes the whole time. Like his lifetime dream had come true!

Asher enjoyed trying to see how many paddles (from the ping pong table) he could snatch and paddle people with!

Thanks to all who came!! It meant so much to the boys!! (and us!)

My pics aren't working on the blogs so check out some pictures of the party here: http://2boysofmine.shutterfly.com/action/

Now I know my ABC's!

Asher means Happy in Hebrew! How perfect is that!

ABC's according to Asher

Sand Box Fun

So the length of the video is the amount of time we spent outside lol! It's soooo cold!! I thought I would bundle the kids up and get them some fresh air!! There's not enough bundling in the world!! http://uncutvideo.aol.com/videos/34e22d7cb0e77ca4ee009f11c0eb0087?index=0

Happy 3rd Birthday Aidan!

Today my baby boy turned 3!! We had a fun day of picking out a toy and paying for it all by himself, making cupcakes, playing outside and being spoiled with hugs and kisses!! He was quite excited to tell EVERYONE Happy Birthday and "wanting more presents". He grinned ear to ear when we sang happy birthday! This morning he had eggs and a cinnamon roll with a candle in it. Then after dinner was a cupcake and more candles! He got lots of cards from all his family! We love you Aidan!

We are well on our way......

To life WITHOUT diapers!!!! This is just the beginning but it's a start! Today 3 random times Asher took his diaper off by himself and said pee pee. So we ran to the potty and TA-DA! He went pee pee!! I'm so proud of him and he loved everyone making it a big deal! Like Aidan he prefers the big potty instead of the millions we spent on cute, fun potty chairs! Also, with Aidan we shoved treats down his throat to reward him but Ashie is just fine and dandy with cheers and claps!!

Oh I wish I had gotten a picture! The boys were playing outside after the sun decided to show up! It had been raining allll day! We HAD to get out of the house! So of course they get into a mud puddle, then it was all over! They splashed and played till we could see no more color on them! All boys I tell ya...all boys!

We now have doors that are raised higher than normal doors at the bottom. After I lay Ashie down for his nap, he has started to get out of bed and lay on the floor and watch us from under the door. Its too cute. He doesnt cry or say anything. Then he eventually gets back in his bed!

This no dishwasher or garbage disposal is killing me. I was the type of person, if I could shove it in the disposal, it would be chopped up! My hands are so dry! We are slowly fixing the water, adding filters to everything. I HATE well water! My hair is so thick and the water pressure is so low! I have to turn the bath water on at the end of my shower to make sure I rised all the soap out lol! But no I'm kidding, I know I could be ALOT worse off!!!

My baby will be three tomorrow....bitter sweet!

A-Hole

So I was just informed that my father and 2 sisters went to dinner and the subject of Lauren came up. My middle sister asks what I am doing now a days. My father's response was "just staying around with the boys". All you SAHM's please email me for his address so I can tell you where to send the HATE mail! Thanks! OK gotta get back to staying around! ;-)

Adventures of Aidan and Asher

It's so cute how he remembers things and reacts to them. Yesterday his grandma went to the doctor. She cameover today and sat down on the couch. He came up to her and said "Where's your bandaid?" She was like I don't have a bandaid. He said "You went to the doctor?". He thought she was supposed to get a shot and a bandaid becuase she went to the doctor. lol

Tonight he says "Mommy you got somefin on you face". He licks his thumbs and wipes my face. I think I'll stop doing that and reach for a wipe instead lol!

This morning I was washing dishes (because we don't have dishwasher.....waaaaahhhh!) and the whole time Asher clung to my leg. This is unusual for Asher, esp for the long time that he did this. Finally he says, "I hurt, I hurt, I hurt" then blaaaaa, puked everywhere! Poor baby! I stuck him in the bath and he says "I feel good" (I don't feel good he means) But I don't know what it was because he was his active care free self the rest of the day!

Dear Mr. 99 year old Walmart Greeter.....

I have been many places today and Walmart was my last stop. Please leave me alone. Please do not tell me what I am doing wrong. Just try to help me or leave me alone. I have two young very cranky children and I am having a bad day. Don't preceed to tell me that my child's shoe is missing and then tell me it's in the cart, I know this. Don't tell me that my goldfish box is open is will prob spill everywhere, again, I got it covered. When you see me struggling to bring in two bags of sandbox sand inside and corral my children so they don't jet into the street, don't comment that I should have gotten a cart. I know. I didn't feel like trucking BACK up to the front with two CRANKY children just to leave my full cart and get another. I'm patting myself that I have made it this far in Walmart, don't burst my bubble. Don't keep telling me where to place the sand when I'm trying to yell at my 3 year year old to come back, just take the damn sand and stick it somewhere. Just leave me alone and go back to greeting.....Thanks!

Done!

Well long story short we have MOVED!!!! I'm so tired everynight! They boys so far love it! Aidan calls it the "New House" and Asher the "hooooowse". We split the bunkbeds up so they have matching twin beds. Asher's is enclosed so it looks like a twin crib lol! I'll included pics soon! As Mat said the other night "Welcome Home Sallese Family, Welcome Home" lol!

Moving Day....

....is nearing us! We started to move a few things today and tomorrow is D-Day. OMG at all the JUNK we have! Next time we move I'm opening up the house and saying "Everything's a Dollar". Thank goodness Mom and Steph took the kids for tonight. Tommorrow is dropping off Paul's new bed then picking up the bunkbeds, then back here to move. I've been preggo the last two times (or just had the baby) we have moved, so I got out of it. This time not so lucky! hehe


Asher Moving Us

Super Bowl Sunday

It's my excuse to eat a lot of junk foods ;-)

Tonight I tried to capture our blessing at dinner time. Of course this ended in an Aidan protest. But here's the video anyways!

Quick Update

Whew! Things have been crazy around here :-P So I haven't done much else with the new camera! Ashie now has pink eye in both eyes (knew that was coming), a cold and was running a small fever today. Grandmas took Aidan today so I could focus on take care (babying) Ashie today! Our church had their monthly yard sale today so I tried to get rid of as much as I could....less to move! We went and cleaned the new place the other day. The truck battery died at church. Not to mention we just bought a battery for my car on Monday! More packing! Trying to plan Aidan and Paul's birthdays. Eh packing... Every bill imaginable seemed to pour in lately...car insurance, truck insurance, vehicle taxes, bla bla bla bla. Mat's sick, I'm on and off sick, but Aidan's good to go! I think I'll go crawl under the covers and hide for as long as possible! ;-)
