Two nights in a row!! Preston was mad and at every little thing. It started both on the way home telling me which way to go. Preston saying " This way!, No this Way, Mommmy!! I want to go this way!! This way Fire Truck house!" Then he would wine and cry while saying this. I try to tell him we cant' go that way, and this way is home and we'll go see Fire truck house later. It doesn't work, b/c he keeps saying it. By that time, he's upset. He doesn't want to get out of the car, screaming. We get in the house and he's still crying and that's when Chase starts crying just because. Then they both want to sit on my lap and then Preston doesn't want Chase to sit on my lap also. This time, I gave Presotn a fruit snack and told him I had to cook dinner and if he would sit in his chair for me and he actually did while saying he wanted apple juice. So I gave him that and he actually say and watch the whole Dora while I was in the kitchen cooking. Chase on the other hand didn't want to watch tv and wanted to be in the kitchen with me and saying "pick up", "I pick up" reaching his arms for me. He's been really bad about wanting to be picked up all the time now!
Then he got mad when we were leaving in the car to go to Target. I needed to get a few necessities, like milk for the night and Preston wanted to buckle his car seat belt. The bottom part is really hard and they aren't strong enough, but HE wanted to do it. He'll say, "I Do IT" "I Do it!"
Not going into any more detail, it was a disaster but we were able to leave and they actually did good in Target and I didn't have to go to the toy section. Thank goodness b/c they always want to get out and then its hard to put them BACK in the basket. It's only good if my hubby is there.
By the way, I'm by myself on Wed and Thurs nights b/c my husband works a 2nd job , so these are the worst nights for them to throw tantrums. I did manage to pick up some Moscato on the way out! LOL!!
I'm already over this!
Anyways, on a new note, I boubht some shoes the other day that i've been wanting. It's those wedge heel strapy sandals? Black leather straps at the Grapevine Outlet mall here in the area. YAY for me.
Also, the boys have another birthday part at Gymboree, but this time its twins girls that are turning 3. They LOVE gymboree!! Too bad, I can't afford to put them in that sort of thing.
Also, we plan to visit my parents for Father's Day, so that'll be fun. My mom is cooking dinner, not bbq ing thank goodness.
So my husband is trying to take the boys to visit his parents house in Houston which is a 4 hour drive from here, BY himself!! I don't know. The boys are 2.5 and I just think it's kind of dangerous to travel with them by himself, but maybe I'm just over thinking and being protective as a mom. What do yal think? I'll have the whole weekend to myself , where I can get stuff done around the house, re organize, shop, relax, etc... It's hard to pass up. Maybe this could be a yearly thing. My husband and the boys go down to Houston for the weekend to visit and mom stays home! :) Then it can turn into a week and then just send the boys off and me and my hubby stay home. Sounds good!! :)
Happy Friday!

Some Advice, Please!!
So, both my boys are throwing their terrible two's tantrums. Chase will get upset and cry for a little bit and then he's done. You can easily get him to stop crying or start doing something to get his attention off the fact that he can't have whatever it is he wants.
Preston on the other hand, while cry for like 20 to 25 minutes. I mean screaming. On the floor and hitting stuff, i.e. door, bed anything that he can hit and he will kick whatever it is that he can hit. Then he'll just say no, no, and no whenever you asked him stuff. Like, does he want some juice, or come it with mommy, or do u want... I am not sure that's what your supposed to do, but that's all I know. Try to see if they will do something else to make them happy. I have left him there just screaming and tried to ignore and do stuff with Chase, but it doesn't work. He's just soooo mad!!! If he ever did this in public, this would be embarassing...
How do yal deal with your kids throwing tantrums and screaming and kicking? At one point last night, I didn't know if he would ever stop crying. Nothing I was doing was helping. He didn't even want me to touch him. He would get more mad.
What I did to get him out of his funk, was blow bubbles and he popped them and starting smiling and stuff. What will I do next time??
Please , I need some advice! I'm new at this whole thing. :)

My boys... Boys will be Boys
My boys.. My boys like to use a stick and play with the dirt in the cracks of our driveway, you know the different sections of it and play with the little bugs in there. Get their knees dirty, hand etc...
My boys.. My boys like to play in the sprinkler and when the water rolls down onto the sidewalk in the front of our home, they splash their little feet on the cement where our driveway hits the street, along with all the other junk that's outside on the ground. I was hoping and praying there was no glass or anything to hurt their precious feet.
My boys.. My boys like to wrestle. This involves Preston laying on top of Chase while Chase is face down and putting all his body weight on him until Chase stops laughing and starts whining/crying because he basically can't breathe! Chase does the same, but Preston is a little be stronger and can ususally get up.
My boys.. My boys like to pour water on their heads now in the bath tub and then attempt to do it to each other! LOL
My boys... My boys like to mimic everything I do and or say.
My boys... My boys like to sing songs with Dora and Yo Gabba Gabba. They also sing their alphabet and certain songs I think they learned at school. It's the cutest thing every b/c they don't quite know all the words and their voices are so cute! :) I 've been trying to video tape it.
My boys... Preston likes almost anything sweet. When it comes to cake, he likes the icing and Chase likes the cake and any kinds of bread( he gets that from me).
My boys... My boys LOVE to play basketball, where they often say, "I shoot it" , "I get the ball" , "Me Ball".
My boys... My boys are trying and attempting to go pee pee in the toilet and now wear pull-ups 50% of the time. Accoringing to Chase though, (also known as Chase Man, at daycare, which Preston now calls him that like its his name) pee pee goes in the tub, not the toilet.
I love my boys to death and while I enjoy my time away from them(i've only spent 3 seperate nights away from them since they were born), I enjoy my TIME WAAAAYYYY more when I'm with them! :)

Snooze You Lose
I accidentally, wrote this post yesterday on my old blog.. Oops!
Unfortunately , waiting till the week before to register your kids into swimming lessons on saturday mornings for 2 months, fills up fast. Especially , if you have 2 spots to fill in the same class. I didn't technically wait till the last minute. On May 27th I called to pay over the phone and there were 3 spots left. The girl told me I had to come into the pool to pay. I was leaving that day for San Antonio and didn't have time before we got on the road. Well, I find out from a friend who is going to the same pool, that she paid over the phone no problem. Soooo..... So mad and of course when I call back last week , that one 2 year old class they offer was booked.
The next saturday class the offer is not until August 6th. I really wanted them to start now, but what's 2 more months, I guess. Bummer. Is it like that with all kid activties?
On the baby note, Preston is saying more and more sentences and likes to repeat everything I say back to himself. So cute. Chase also is doing the same thing. I wish they didn't fight so much when they play together and I wish they werent so rough when they are wrestling. It's so interesting that Preston is such the leader since he was 2nd born. Preston basically tries to tell Chase what to do and how to do it and Chase just listens and does it. Most of the time, let's Preston take his toys from him without a fuss.
Tried to potty train this past Saturday. Wasn't sucessful. I think I need to buy a book on this. Really want to get this over with.
We have 3 birthday parties coming up this weekend and next and then I have a baby shower the last Saturday in June. IT's going to be some busy weekends coming up!
Maybe July will be a slower month? This summer I can already see is going to go by fast!!

We're Back from San Antonio/Austin
It was so much fun! The boys did great in the rented Minivan. They enjoyed watching their shows on the portable tv's. That really helped. Most of the time they were sleep. We leave around naptime. :) LOL!
We were able to stop and have dinner with my brother in Austin, see my friend from college Nathalie in San Marcos and finally make our way to San Antonio late that night. We took the shuttle to Sea World at 9am for our breakfast with Sesame Street characters. I'm sorry. I don't have the pictures to post, but I PROMISE I will do it tonight.
It was nice to be inside and avoid the crowds to be in the park early! There was already a line to get inside at 9am, so people must have come out there at 8am. Craziness!
They loved feeding the dolphins, Shamoo show, sea lions, penguins and the aquarium with all the fish! They went to the spray park, but Chase didnt' want to get sprayed! LOL!
We left at 1:30 b/c it was sooo freaking hot and plus it was pretty much nap time. Went back to the hotel, took showers/changed clothes and heading out to the Riverwalk. Hubby and I didn't eat at Sea World, so we drove to pick up something while the boys napped in the car. I think we stayed in the parking garage for 30 minutes at the Riverwalk to finish out their nap.
We then ate dinner(boys ate) at Sbarro in the mall and then did the boat ride. It was a little too long for them or me, I don't know.
Afterwards we left San Antonio on the way back to Austin. We got in the hottub at the Austin hotel that night and just chilled.
The next morning I went and got Mcdonald's pancakes and Bagels for us and then headed over to see my fried Sara from my old job in FW. She has a little 16 month old boy named Ford. Christina you remember Sara right? So we went by her house and chatted and then head to HEB and was back on the road to DFW.
Then at 5 we headed to our friend's house in our neighborhood where he grilled some declious steaks , yummy! I brought our inflatable pool and Preston, Chase and another little girl went swimming. Preston decided it would be more fun to run and then jump/slide into the pool. He had a great time. Chase. Not so much! LOL! I can't wait to bring it back out this weekend in our yard. We had a blast! :)
Monday was relaxation day, even though we did go to the Allen Outlets and stop by my parents house or and looked at some gorgeous Highland Homes in Allen. I LOVE highland homes. I really hope we can purchase our next home Highland. That would be awesome! Anyways, that was fun. These were 400k-700k homes. So we wouldn't ever be able to afford that, but it's nice to look and dream! :) Highland offers lower priced homes from the 200's-300's.
Then we had Babe's Chicken for dinner and we took the boys to the park that evening. ALL in ALL it was a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Both of us enjoyed getting away and the boys did an awesome job. I really want to take them to Virginia next to see my sister. Not sure when though.
I have more to talk about, but that will be in another post tonight.
CIAO!

On the Road Again...
Happy Thursday! Or Friday for me!
This weekend we are taking the boys to Sea World San Antonio!! They are going to LOVE it!! I can't wait!! Well, you know they won't remember , but my hubby and I will always!! So that makes it fun for us to experience this with them! I'll take lots of pictures and videos and try my best to post them. Although most of the time they end up on Facebook.
I plan on seeing my brother in Austin and my old friend from my first job too! She has a little boy who is 15 months. Then I am stopping in San Marcos to see my bestest friend Nathalie.
We plan to go to Sea World Saturday during the day and then the Riverwalk/Mall that evening. LIke 5pm-8.
I'm so excited to get out of DFW AREA!! First vacation of the year! Yippee!!! We are also renting a minivan, so I know the boys will love ALL the room they can walk around in other than the cramped Sedans we have. Hopefully , its a NICE minivan with leather seats and automatic doors etc... We are brining our portbable DVD players so hopefully the boys will actually watch it this time! LOL! I'm just so ready for this day to be over and it be friday!
I'm pretty much finished packing for the boys, so its just me tonight. I sold some Mary Kay to a friend today, so I am swinging by her place tonight. GEEZE this extra cash will come in handy!!!!
OKay, will post pics when I get back.

Trash TV
As I was discussing in my last post. Some of the shows I'm going to have to give up are.
1) Grey's Anatomy- I agree with you Mel, that its horrible now. I used to love that show too. Interesting to see if they come back next year. There isn't really a good story line anymore
2) Private Practice - Yes, they've run out of stuff. I am starting NOT to like the characters and Na and Addison and Violet are REally getting on my nerves.
3) Desperate housewives - I really don't know WHY I'm still watching it! LOL!
4) House - IT's just boring now. Same o, Same o weird medical stories. Characters are old and boring.
5) The Office - I kind of already gave it up, but still recorded it a little last season and this season. I did see the one when Steve Carell got engaged, that was sweet, and when he left was awfully sad, but I won't watch it again. Not without him. thing is, it was mainly the other characters that were more funnier than him, but I just can't believe it will still be good.
American Idol - I tried to watch it this year without Simon. Talent sucked, Judging sucked and it was just such a waste of my time. Luckily it really just played in the background while I was cleaning and the boys were playing with their toys.
Shows I'm giving 1 more season:
1. Brothers & Sisters (they might be on the way out also)
2. Bethany ever After - she's getting on my nerves
Reality TV - I'm keeping:
1. Real Housewives of BH, Atlanta, OC
TV shows I still miss:
1. 24
2. SATC
3. Frasier (i know right?)
4. ER (yea, I'm weird)
5. Men in Trees( LOL)
Shows I LOVE:
1) Modern Family
2) Army Wives (favorite right now)
So basically, my tv is dwindling, which is good b/c I don't have time to watch all that stuff and I can now devote more time to reading in my downtime. :)
Happy Wednesday!

Summarize
Over these past two weeks, my life has been consumed in reading. My sister introduced me to this book called Switched by Amanda Hocking. It's a Trilogy so I read all 3 books in like 4 days. They are short. Not like 500 to 600 like Twilight. It was intertaining and then I started reading her other books, My blood Approves, Flutter etc.. I read the 1st 3 books. I think there are 5, but geeze, I basically go tired.. I had to stop. All I did was think about the characters and what might be happening next. I read as many chances as I get. At night, while the boys are eating, while they play, at stoplights on the way to work(i know crazy), but not while driving promise! I barely remember what happened last week besides what went on in the books I was reading! LOL! Insane huh?
I think my DVR is barely handling all my recordings. I did mention to finally cut out about 4 hours this weekend, but I have like 25-30 hours recorded still to watch. I record Oprah, so I have like 12 shows of hers and The View(for the hot topics and sometimes the guests). Ususally, I speed up through The View and/or don't watch the whole thing. It's okay b/c summer is coming and when I get a moment, it will be nice to be able to see something , that's good and not some stupid stuff on summer tv. Then again, I could just read and that's probably what I will do once I go through all my shows. I've decided to cut out a few more shows next year. One of them is Desperate Housewives. Not sure why I am still watching it. Weird. Thank you mom for helping me realize this. LOL!
The boys are good. Chase finally went potty before baths last night. I was so proud! Preston goes all the time, but this was a first for Chase. He goes, "I pee pee potty!!" With this big smile on his face and I say, Great job!, High Five!" LOL! He smiled. The next time we purchase diapers, I think I will get the pull ups and try to start training them.
I'm starting back up and working out during lunch at work again. I'm slacking on the weekends and evenings. I want to try to lose some more weight for summer swim suits... :)
Took the boys to their first Texas Ranger game, it was fun. I have pics. Will up load later. I tried to go to the 1st In and Out Burger in the area, it opened last Wednesday and I went satruday around 3:30 and the drive thru line was a 1/2 mile long with a 1hr 20 min wait and so was the line outside. About an hour. I can totally wait. It's not THAT great of a burger anyways.. Texans are going to be like? This is it? This is what Californians are raving about?! LOL! haha.
Anyways, no more Einstein Bagels, but oatmeal and Yogurt. Need to stop eating bad in the morning and no pasta all week. We'll see how that goes..
Adios.

Go MAVS!! GO!!
I can't believe it, but one of my fellow twin mom friends invited me to the Mav/Laker Playoff game tonight!! She told me Tuesday, but didn't know if SHE could actually go until yesterday!
I'm sooo freaking excited and I LOVE KOBE!! Ever since 1997 when he joined the Lakers. Most hate him, b/c well.. being cocky and there might be alot of other reasons, but I think he is one of the best basketball players out there right now and super cute. Well atleast to me. The Lakers are my 2nd favorite team, so I get to see them BOTH play together!
So this evening after I leave work, I plan to go get a pedi and then walk around West Village which is this outdoor shopping area in Uptown Dallas. I'll just be window shopping though, but it'll be nice to shop in peace and not have to rush! The game isn't until 8:30pm, so I have plenty of time.
We have another busy saturday. The daycare my kids go to is having their Spring Fling carnival at 10:30am-2pm tomorrow . Then at 3pm, my old coworker from another job son is turning 2. That party is across town at Gymboree..
Sunday is off to my mom's house for Mother's day. It should be warm 80's weekend with NO rain. Then it'll be Sunday night and ready to start the long work week again. Three more weeks until our San Antonio Vacation though! Can't wait!
Happy Friday!
I'm sooo freaking excited and I LOVE KOBE!! Ever since 1997 when he joined the Lakers.

Breakfast
Breakfast lately has been a real struggle b/c I've stopped eating healthy breakfasts in the morning. Probably has something to do with me NOT running consistently anymore.. :(
So this past weekend I went and bought yougurt. Not my usualy Yoplait (light) strawberry, but I decided to try something new. Super Target's Archer Farms Peach Yogurt. My my my, I think I am in love. Atleast with the Peach one. I've never tried any other flavor besides strawberry. YUMMY!!! I also bought a Strawberry Banana too! I will try that one tomorrow. I also brought in some Oatmeal packets again. I mean, I just basically got tired of it and started getting my EINSTEIN BROS Cinnamon Sugar bagels, 1 or 2 times a week! I KNOW! Bad! Or Chickfila Chicken Biscuit or pancakes from MCdonalds. I know, I know. I do get their oatmeal sometimes!!! :) So I guess this weekend, since it'll be nice, I go out in my neighborhood and run again. :( I hate seeing all these skinny girls with flat tummies around me, ok so pretty much 98% don't have kids or they didn't have twins, but still! Why can't that be me?? So I'm NOT giving up..I will continue to do my best with the time and energy and will power I have until I get to my ideal weight and flat tummy! LOL!
This week is SO busy at work. Month End Reports I run etc....
Oh and a friend of mine got tickets to see the MAVS and Lakers play here in Dallas for this Friday!! She doesn't know if she can go, but if she does she asked if I wanted to go with her and i was like HECK YEA!!
I love Kobe and I know a lot of folks HATE him, but he's an awesome basketball player, one of the best and who cares if he is a little full of himself! LOL! I really want to take my husband though. I know he really wanted to see them play also.... We'll see
Happy Wednesday!
