So... yes I hit 28 on the 31st of May, and boy do I feel old saying that! It's just so close to the dreaded 3-.. nevermind I don't even want to say it! He, He :)

Besides the bummer of the age.. it was a great birthday! My wonderful and amazing best friend, Derrick drove in for the weekend to help me celebrate it! We went out with some great friends on Saturday night and finished the weekend off with a bbq on Sunday! Good Friends, Loving Family, Good Times, Good Drinks, & lots of Great Laughs made for an unforgettable one. Thanks to everyone who celebrated with me! It meant a lot :)

Goodbye Kindergarten.. Hello 1st Grade!!!

Yes.. my little man has officially graduated Kindergarten! And boy did he do a great job!! Kindergarten was everything we could have hoped for! He was blessed with the most amazing teacher ever.. Mrs. Hooker! Wow.. that woman has the patience of a saint. Trenton adored her & was really sad to be losing her. We are definitely proud of him.. and can't wait to see what all the next years bring!!

Here are a few pictures from the ceremony yesterday (I wish they were a little better.. but the lighting was horrible, sorry).. what an adorable performance. They sang about 5 songs, recieved there diplomas.. & were asked what they wanted to be when they grew up! Trenton responded with the answer "a boy" teacher! He is so precious.

I AM SO IN TROUBLE...

I saw this picture of Tessa and just had to post it! This girl has ATTITUDE written all over her face!! Teenage years.. are gonna be FAB!!

P.S.. check out the silver sparkly shoes.. yes she picked them out all on her own.. and not even 2 years old!

Mother's Day was everything I could have imagined... Relaxing, Stress-Free & Low Key! We spent the day in Phoenix with some good friends.. bbq'ing and relaxing by the pool with the kiddos! Every mom's dream :) The next day we kept the kids out of school & did an afternoon at Chucke Cheese! They had a blast.. but Chucke was definitely NOT a hit... All the kids but Ryan, got scared!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

I cannot elaborate enough how lucky I am to be the proud mother of 3 precious, loving babies! What a great day for me to be able to celebrate with them! I hope all you other mamas out there have a great day as well.. & really take some time to count your blessings! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!! XOXO

I really wanted to share this! It is so special & I am so proud of Trenton. This was my mother's day gift he made for me at school! :)

More pictures from the day to come.....

A few more pictures...

HERE ARE A FEW MORE PICTURES THAT I REALLY LIKED & THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE :)

PASSWORD RECOVERED!!!

Ok... so I totally forgot my password to my blog & finally 4 months later, a light bulb went off and I remembered! YAY!! So much has happened these past few months, that an update is WAY overdue...

First & foremost... we moved into our, new house!! I absolutely love it & could not be happier.. it's perfect and roomy enough for us, with a backyard to die for! :).. swimming pool included! A few days before moved in though.. Alex was offered a promotion! in Prescott of all places ( a little chuckle), well with a down economy, we knew he HAD to take it! So he has spent the last couple months, staying with my mom a few days, and coming home the others. I put a lot of thought into packing up (again) and moving up to Prescott... but Alex & I decided that it would be best for us to stay down here, at least for another year. I am very content with this decision & although I know some days will be hard & overwhelming for me, it's worth every second of it. Our list of positives definitely outweighed the negatives!!

As for the kids... Wow! Busy, busy!!!

Trenton is wrapping up his year of Kindergarden! It has been such an amazing experience for him, & myself. His teacher has been phenominal and he has learned SO much! His scores & report cards are always outstanding! I could not be more proud! He is also playing t-ball this year! He really enjoys it, and has taken a liking to it a lot better then soccer.

Tanner has FINALLY mastered potty training!!! YAY :) He's still my little ball of energy, but with the biggest heart! Were trying to get him into a preschool program for the fall, and with him finally potty trained.. he has opened up a whole new world of activities & sports he can do.

Tessa also had a huge accomplishment! With several physical therapy sessions, she is finally walking!, almost running actually. She had a condition with her ankles that caused a little delay.. but we got it under control now. She also has her first pageant coming up May 2nd.. an all natural one of course! So I will make sure to blog the pictures and the details...

I posted a few pictures.. from our Easter! Enjoy :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

WISHING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR! HOPE 2009 IS EVERYTHING YOU HOPE IT TO BE AND MORE!!

LOVE THE RICHARDSON FAMILY!

Happy 3rd Birthday Tanner!

EXHAUSTED!!

So yesterday was Tanner's 3rd birthday! We spent the day out at Rio Vista Park for a monkey party! The weather was perfect, we had lots of family & friends in attendance and the boy couldn't have asked for better gifts! So thank you to all who came & celebrated with us in making this a special day for him! =) Now.. if I could just convince him that turning 3 means NO MORE DIAPERS, and the toilet really isn't SCARY!! Ha Ha!
