Watching you Like a Hawk

I have heard and used this saying before, but until today I did not fully understand it. This afternoon, Justin noticed a mess of feathers on our back porch when he went to investigate he found a hawk munching on a pigeon next to our back door. After his Sunday lunch buffet, Justin attempted to scare the hawk away. He wouldn’t leave. Our dog tried to scare him away, he wouldn’t leave. The dumb bird just stood his ground and fought back. So anyway, about the saying…. Since I had an opportunity to get close to a hawk, I took a ton of pictures. That bird would not take his eyes off of me. I was shocked on how intently he was watching me.eye on you 2

Therefore we will probably have this house guest in our yard for the next week or so. We should just let the mommy and daddy hawk provide for the baby until he learns to take care of himself.

Science Center

I was going to make this my first Fitness Friday, but I think I would need to actually exercise if I was going to blog about it… oops I guess I still don’t get it, because, umm… well I am blogging about it and am not about to get on that wii board and do any exercises!!

So, today I took the kids to the AZ Science Center for the 2nd time in one week. Today we saw a show in the planetarium called “starry skies” to my surprise the kidos loved it!! I put both babies down in a movie style chair and let them look up at the sky. Jeremiah was constantly going “oooh oooooh” He purses his lips way out and arches his head back… this he does only on occasion… when he is really amused! Alexis would point at everything she liked and would laugh, smile, and of course do her high pitch squeal. It was adorable watching them. I am so happy to be a stay at home mommy…. whatever that means, since I don’t remember a day I actually stayed at home. Hmmm, help me think of a new name for that… we SAHM need to come up with something super clever!!P3280011P3280001P3280014 P4020060 P4020059 If you look close in the 2nd picture, JB has the toy asparagus, He found it again today and had to play with it! Crazy kid!

Return Home

After the science center, I had to stop at Target to find a frame for my niece’s 2 year old picture. I also picked up some cheerios for the kids, and a small container for them to start munching on. They were so cute sitting in the one seater cart basket and ravenously grabbing and devouring the cheerios. The funniest part was JB trying to eat them out of sister’s hands. Oh, one more thing… before the cheerios, JB kept petting Lexi’s head, then hugging and kissing her. Once he would do that, Lexi would lean back and start laughing. I have just enjoyed my day with them so much… they make me so happy!!

The kids were laughing so hard as daddy was sliding them around on the floor. But of course they didn’t when In decided to video of them.

A Sip of Tea

My logo choice of tea for today is Paradiso Peach! It consists of hibiscus petals, rosehip, dried sweet orange peel, dried apple pieces, and flavorings.

Hand-me-down blessings

Okay, so I started stressing out the other day, because Alexis has no pajamas, no shorts, no short sleeve shirts and only 2 dresses that fit her. Jeremiah has a little bit bigger selection of clothes but not much. I started stressing, because I just don’t have the money to go out and buy a bunch of clothes for 2 babies! j0395766

The kids closet has always been full, but I didn’t realize they were missing 12month size clothes, which they are currently wearing.

Well, I got a bag of hand-me-down clothes yesterday from Alexis’s big cousin. What a blessing!!! I went through the clothes and other than no  shorts, Alexis has a new wardrobe and will not have to go naked through the summer!

Both kids do have about 5 swimsuits each, so I guess they could just wear those everyday, that’s what seems to be the norm. now-a-days during an Arizona summer!
