HAPPY EASTER!!
I know I am late... Its my blog I can be late if I want

I found these dresses at Childrens Place ( which is one of my favorites!) for half off!! I thought that they were super cute and my girls LOVE them!!

Mitz and Danea

Momma and her baby!! She really loves me the most as you can tell in the picture!! hahah

Ana kept on running away so we finally let her stand!! haha I LOVE MY FAMILY! I hope everyone had a great Easter.

OUR BASKETBALL STAR!

Mitz has been counting down the days since Zoe was about 2 and a half for the day she can play basketball on a team and he can be her coach! Well the time has come. Zoe started basketball this year!!

Besides having the ball hit her in the face I believe every single game and leaving with some sort or new sore, SHE HAD A BLAST! She started the year not being strong enough to get the ball to the basket and ended the year with 3 baskets in one game!!

My job every Friday night, as we watched Zoe play basketball was to contain 3 children who just wanted to be playing basketball with their dad like their sister. Trying to do this without looking like the CRAZY LADY WITH 4 LITTLE GIRLS is no small task!!

Sweet Danea who is pretty easy to handle seeing how she is tied down and cant move

Maria, she loved to pose for the camera and can wait until she turns 5 so daddy can be her basketball coach!!

Ana on the other had just wanted to be set free so she can run and do whatever she feels like!!! She made sure everyone knew when she wanted to get out of the stroller. Which was THE ENTIRE TIME!!

Ana thinks she is soo hilarious!!
and you can not stay mad at this cute little girl for long!! She is obviously sucking her thumb which she is not allowed to do and she knows it. Which is why she is smiling

Zoe with her TROPHY!!

WE LOVE OUR BIG SISTER!!

The Best Ribs in the ENTIRE WORLD!

I found this recipe a while back on All Recipes.com. These ribs are FINGER LICKIN, FALL OFF THE BONE CANT GET IT OUT OF THE POT GOOD!!
You cant even go to a restaurant and get ribs this good. My entire family LOVES them, its a quick and easy recipe, I am sure it will become your new favorite!

Ingredients:
4 pounds pork baby back ribs
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup ketchup
1 cup bbq sauce
1 cup chilli sauce
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
4 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 dash hot sauce

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C)
2. Season ribs with salt and pepper. Place in a shallow baking pan. Brown in oven 15 minutes. Turn over, and brown another 15 mins: drain fat
3. In a medium bowl mix together the ketchup, bbq sauce, chili sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and salt and pepper. Place ribs in slow cooker, Pour sauce over ribs and turn to coat.
4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until ribs are tender.

All slow cookers are different but mine is closer to the 6 hours than the 8 hours and you will have lots of extra sauce!

ENJOY!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANA!!!!

Our Beautiful Ana has turned 2 YEARS OLD!! I don't know where the time has gone. Its seems like just yesterday I was on my way to the hospital for my c-section. Ana had decided to turn into a breech position and even though we did everything we could to try to get her into the right position she was having none of it!! She was positioned exactly how she wanted to be. Her personality has been STRONG WILLED, VIBRANT, ENERGETIC and STUBBORN since before she was born. She gives the BEST HUGS AND CUDDLES (when she wants to) Her SMILE will light up any room. She has no desire to be potty trained, cant wait to go to school like her BIG SISTERS and LOVES her baby sister so much that every time Danea crys, Ana thinks she is crying for her to come help her and races to her.

Thankfully we made it to Moms house safely, the roads were terrible and terrifying and I cried the last 45 mins there and wanted to turn around. Mitz figured since we were just about there anyways we should just keep on going and thank goodness we did because look how happy these little cousins are to see there Grandma!! Rylee is 8 months and Danea is 3 months

Sweet Maria

Ana loves to eat!! It amazes me how fast this girl can eat!!

It must be a pretty delicious cupcake

Ana

Rylee must be teething. She loved chewing on this little fishy

Grandma took all her granddaughters to see the Robert Munsch Books acted out. It was so funny we all had a great time!!

Grandma and her girls. Zoe, Reece and Ana

Grandma and Ana

Mom, being the loving Grandma that she is decided to sit on the very front row and watch the play with her little angels. Little did she know as soon as the opportunity arose those little angels volunteered their Grandma to be part of the play!! They loved watching their Grandma and when it was all over Reece turned to Zoe and said "oh grandma is soooo silly!"

Beautiful Mother and Daughter

Okay so I FINALLY have some pictures up and yes I know they are CHRISTMAS ones and Christmas is over but I am little late on this whole blogging thing. We had a WONDERFUL Christmas. We ATE way to much, SHOPPED until the very last minute, spent time with great FRIENDS and FAMILY, enjoyed going to the NATIVITY and when all was said and done Zoe was so sad that her WHOLE family was not together for Christmas. I think children know what the true meaning of Christmas is.

Ana Opening up Christmas Presents and way more
interested in the paper then the present

We really need some boys in this family

Wes and Olivia 2 months old, Mitz and Danea 2 months
and 2 weeks old and Trevor and Rylee 7 months old

Ana LOVED this even though I wanted it to be pink.
She could not get it out of the box fast enough!!

Mitz airborne!!

This was the first time the girls ever went tobogganing
and they LOVED it!!

Well Ana did not love it. She spent the rest of
the day on the swings.

Zoe having a blast!!

I have finally decided to do a blog. I feel that this is a great way to be able to share our life with my friends and family that are to far away to experience all the fun times we have. I hope that this will make them feel a little closer to us and hope that they will also start a blog if they have not already done so.
This is the beginning of a NEW YEAR and I know every year I say this is the year that I am going to make all of these things happen. Although I start out with good intentions they slowly trickle away until the next year when I say THIS IS THE YEAR!! Going into 2010 Mitz and I have made some pretty important goals that I feel will better us as individuals, husband and wife, parents and in turn our children will also benefit. One of our goals is to be at our ideal weight and fitness level. I am hiding behind the fact that i have had 4 babies in 5 years but enough is enough i will be at my goal weight by October 1 2010!!! I am really looking forward to never having to set another goal to lose weight ever again!!
