It's a date..

I feel a little guilty that I don't include my older boys here very often.. probably because when I actually do, I get.." Great mom! Why did you have to put up that picture?"

So this time there will be no pictures (not of them anyway)

It's been a while since the boys and I have spent time together..so I thought it would be a great idea to go to a movie.. we went to see Transformers 2

It has been so long since I had been to a movie that I didn't care that it was getting terrible reviews.. let me just say I don't know what they are talking about I LOVED IT. Could it be that fact that I actually got to sit down for two and a half hours and I didn't have to listen to any fighting, crying or whining? Well that could be part of it , but honestly I really enjoyed the movie and the boys did too we had a great time.

Thanks boys for indulging your mother. I hope I didn't embarrass you too much?!

Can I just say I love Bumblebee! And "the twins" were so funny too.. thank goodness they weren't triplets.. could you imagine??... I could!

Family Fun

My Dad came to visit about a week ago. It is the first time he has had a chance to make the trip from California to Colorado. We had lots of fun while he was here. The grandkids LOVED hanging out with him. Now that he and the rest of my family have joined the 21st Century ( well for the most part anyway) I now have new motivation to post more often!

Here are just a few of the pictures we took while he was here. I hope he gets to visit again soon the kids and I miss him already!

Terrible two's are here.

Just a quick video to see what my life has been like lately... not to mention I just figured out how to use youtube so this is a trial run of sorts.

Happy 2nd Birthday..Alyssa, Kayla & Joey!

Well as usual I'm a day late and a dollar short.. I tried to post this yesterday but as my fellow MOM's know things rarley go as planned.

So here are some pictures of my "babies" I can't believe they're two already!! Where did the time go??

Here they are just days after coming home...

Now here they are enjoying some summer fun..

In Memory..

“True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.”

For all those that have paid the ultimate price for my freedom. I thank you!

Thank You Grandpa.. Rudolph G. Schowe ~ Army World War II

For those that have served ..
Thank You Dad.. Leland J. Goularte Jr. ~ Navy ( Aviation ) Vietnam War

Thank You Grandpa Leland J. Goularte Sr. ~ Army World War II





To all of the men and women serving our country today I salute you.

I will be praying for all of you today.. Forever in my heart.

Graduation Day!

Preston I am so very proud of you from the first moment I held you in my arms you changed my life forever. Today you are leaving High School and the world is your to explore.. take all I have shared with you and run with it.. I know you are destined for greatness.

Here is the quote my son shared with me today..
When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace... Jimi Hendrix


I have always believed that children learn what they live.. I have always done my best to teach my children to love one another.. and that no matter what life throws at you always try to see the silver lining in everything.. Today my son has taught me something. That even when I thought he wasn't listening he was.. THANK YOU Preston.. I LOVE YOU!
