Oh my word, INSTAGRAM LAUNCHED AN ADDED FEATURE ( VIDEO MAKING). WOW! i AM NOT REALLY SURE WHY,but I am so confused . Social Media started out somewhat normal when myspace was launched.  Then there is FB<TWIITER, Insatgram, and Vine. And Vine is fun , but I don't know how to even use some of the features . But anyway , this is crazy so my thought is where was the fun in pictures gone with video making now included. It tempts me to make a video all the time, but then that will be boring right? It's a bit of a time saver , but I don't understand what it will gain with this. I am honestly overwhelmed by all the social media outlets that there are.  I am pretty sure that the universe already knows about this , but this is what was on my mind. I wonder what they will come up with next.........

Today somthing fun and simple

I had a blast. The boys and I headed to see my sister and nephew and niece outside the city and go watch a film.  It's a summer of kiddie flicks package, worth five bucks for the whole summer. Of course they are movies already out, but it's a little get together of all kinds of kids, so my children enjoyed it. Thankfully my sister-in-law told me about it, and well good thing this summer will be something different for my boys.  Unfortunately, my phone doesn't work so I could document my event today , but I thought why not blog about it anyways.  I guess every Thursday we will be getting together to do something so i will post more photos of my adventures.

Part 2: what my weekend look like (adventures)

My weekend went a little bit like this.

There was a lot going on this past weekend, we headed to our very first art walk in two years. I was always intrigued because I heard so many fun things about it and , there were a couple things . We took the boys to a children's art museum, there was all kinds of artsy things going on. It was an overall artistic adventure.

 On Saturday we went to a soccer game , that ended up in us walking all over the school on a hot day at corona high school instead of watching Dad play (they won the game so that was good). There were a couple of awkward moments but overall it was fun. The kids ran and ran ran, I ended up with heat exhaustion and it sucked on all kinds of levels.  But my boys caught up on their exercise....
 wink :: wink::
There are several parts to our adventure, this is part 1.

TGIF

IT's FRIDAY!!! It's a jammin Viernes................Ok so my week was kinda everywhere and I've had to do like a billion things in the house and the house work just never ends ..Right Mommys!

"HOW YOU DOIN" (in a wendy williams voice) wink!

But I can't imagine being away from my little guys so I'd rather be scrubbin up my place and playing hide and go seek versus anything there could possibly exist.  Today Is somewhat of a big deal for meh! I have a doctors appointment to check my liver and do some blood work.  I am really nervous and scared but everything will be alright  (in those bob Marley lyrics). I still have this swelling on my ankles my hands are somewhat doing the same, and it's very , very uncomfortable....I fell like someones yanking and yanking on my skin. This is so bothersome so I just have to see them docs. On top of that , I'll stop by the mini farmers market and stuff, pick me up some flowers to make me feel , happy , happy, happy!. I mean a girl needs to things some nice flowers and great coffee...Wish me luck and I'll be back LAYTAH for some deets on my arts walk adventure yesterday ..GOOD FRIDAY EVERYONE

time for our check up

Around here we like to say that going to the doctors is a good , because when we have ouchies they help get us better. And when we need to get shots is only for our own good. I think that as much as I have tried to tell my boys it's OK, they  kind of blow  it off and just scream there heads off when they know they have check ups coming up, or that day of the visit.
  So what we do whenever we get a chance is watch that doc mcstuffins cartoon, it's about a girl doctor who helps her toys feel better and gives them check ups when needed. Mind you we have only watched this show hand full of times, and they seem to enjoy the idea of going to the doctor. Yesterday was one of those days , and as we where approaching the medical offices, there were no screams, crying , throwing tantrums it was a good start. Haven says mom time for a check up, I thought I'd never here him say it so enthusiastic. The reality was that I was just going to drop off some forms to his doctor. But the idea that he's able to come to terms with his fear and dislike of the doctors is good. I mean there just aren't many kids who love going to the doctors, the cause them pain when they get shots , so ultimately it's kind of an instinctual thing.

There is progress and still things to work on, but for  now we'll just take things day by day . And here is a bit of havens doctor adventure.

he's just getting so big ,so fast

Wild thang, you make my heart sing.

we were wilding out before we go to bed. Haven turned into a wolf or so that is what he said.

obviously way to much fun , well that is except Orion he wasn't grooving with us .

 the best part of motherhood is all these parts, memories, laughs, cries. sharing ideas, and always making each day a different one.

Tell Tuesday

It's a cloudy morning, ah ! but the outside breeze feels so good. It's been so darn hott I am wishing I lived up north where the sun hardly shines. I can't complain much because this is typical California weather right?

It's tell Tuesday y'all (kinda a southern accent intended, just a little bit).

Remember , my anniversary i talked about well this was my gift a panda, bamboo plant. I am in love with this plant. It's so Zen like, and the significance behind it is magical. I say that because of the three pandas. My boys are fascinated by it, but it's a tad heavy so they can't seem to ever pick it from the table. In the past years I have been given , flowers with a card and candy and a dinner. I mean all anniversaries  have that special thing . But this one was a huge , accompanied by a  thoughtful surprise, the idea that it took him a while  to think of what kind of plant to get, seems so heart warming. Mind you my husband is kind of reserved, he's sweet but he's not the mushy type , so this was a big deal.  Seems kind of silly , but it's the thought behind a gift  that makes it that more special. I guess us Women are more sentimental about gifts then men are. (that's just what I think).

This present was followed by an amazing card and a tres leches cake that is to die for. Cake is cake , and I'll have it  any time.

 We bought candles and celebrated our 6th year anniversary tada.

In short , I just want to say I love you Alex and thank you for being my best friend through all. You sincerely make me so happy ...

It's a happy day, happy , happy, happy!

Early Wrap Up

Oh you know just having a little bit of an early morning. My kids are asleep , and I am currently thinking.

of what to eat?

it's been an awkward week if you ask me.

My anniversary was Friday , and guess what I forgot to take a billion plus pictures..

and to top It off my right ankle has been bugging me so much, and it's getting swollen. I thought that it might be this transformation, with the whole vegetarian experience. Guess what I stopped, i lack dedication, I did loose a couple pounds that's all that came out of it.It was fun I am not going to lie, it's nutritional,but I messed up along the way ,so my foot in some way is paying for it. Maybe eating to much salt or something, it's gradually disappearing since returning to my carnivore ways.

Lets see how long this swelling takes.

On another note; i don't know how or why but as I was flipping through the channels, i came across a documentary called "my brother the jihadist" i think that's how you spell it. It's about the Muslim community their beliefs , and how the view the world. It was difficult to watch on every level. There was burning of the flag, hate words coming out of their mouths, saying negative things about our god, it was intense. I thought Muslims believed in peace.spiritualism and other things along the line, or maybe they do but all in all ,i am mind blown by what I saw and maybe there are other sides to it. ( i am not gonna judge)

After watching that I flipped a couple channels, and saw an Interview with SHERMAN ALEXIE, he's an Indian poet writer. I  had never heard of him, it is until yesterday. This man speaks with so much heart and as he is being interviewed, his words are poetry in themselves. He talks about, capitalism, socialism, facebook and social media outlets, his life , the relationship with his father. How he cut his pony tail after his father died and would grow it back when he stopped grieving, it's been ten years and he still hasn't grown it back. One of the lines that stuck with me are" i don't have facebook friends, I have friends", this line translates what he thinks facebook has become for many people. There is so much to this interview, It's a must see.

it's been so long since I felt connected to an artist , i can't recall the last time I was. Till now, I think that we are blessed to have writers who write with inspiration and love. Who pour their souls out too us, in such a  magnificent way.  This interview was the highlight of my Sunday afternoon.

Thank you Sherman Alexie.
