Our Very Own Picaso

My little sweet darling angel is the "Picaso" in our family lately. She tends to want to draw on everything and all the time. Very well then! This past week she decided she wanted to paint. What did she paint??? Oh yeah, my bathroom!!!!!! My toilet was covered with pink and dark pink fingernail polish, my sink was covered, my floor was covered, even my bath mat was covered. She did some real artistry in there. After all that was done, she decided, hell I might as well paint my toes since that's what this pretty stuff is used for, and after her toes, she said, hell, pink toes, maybe I should have my legs match. She must have gotten tired after all that cause she only painted 2 fingers. Then when all was said and done she must have realized, OMG my mama is going to kill me, so she took the fingernail polish remover and did her best to remove it before giving up and pouring all the remover down the sink... way to go Caydence! :( I was not so impressed when I saw all this! We had to put pants on her, pack up, head to target and get some more remover before coming home to begin the scrubbing. It took about 3/4 bottle of remover to get it all up and might I add, not only did she paint she just turned the bottle upside down and it ran down the toilet and around to the back to the point I couldn't even get some of it up. So when I finished the bathroom I started her legs and when I got that cleaned I looked at her later that day and said, "Caydence what happens if you do this again?" She looked back and me and said, "Caydence in bigggggggg trouble Mama." "Yes ma'm you are!" My 3 year old is smarter than any other 3 year old I've known! My goodness... is that Allberg blood???? LOL, jk... she's a mess, but a cute mess... I'll keep her! :)

I'm a WORKIN Mama!!!

Well now I am "officially" a working Mama!!! I say "officially" because I have always considered myself working even while staying home, cause that's what mom's do! I now officially have a job outside of my house and I am making money for what I do. I'm a NURSE... who would have thought it! :) I work M-F from 6:45 am until 3:15 pm and it's great. It's extremely busy, but I get weekends off to get it together again, gain my sanity. I have one on call weekend every 13 weeks, so honestly how can I complain?? It's great... I miss my kids tremendously, but I am making life better for them, for all of us!

My best friend Karen has been keeping Caydence and Dylan here at my house with Jasmine in tow and it's been great. I go to work with no worries, no concerns, and happy, what could be better? Caydence loves Karen and Jasmine and she always wakes up asking if they are coming over to play with her today. Soooo sweet!

Life is good, couldn't be better and I am happy where I am at. I am blessed to have a job that is so good for me that just kind of fell into my hands, a husband who loves and supports me, and the 2 most amazing kids I have ever known... God has blessed me this month... 2010 has been great! Looking forward to all that's left to come! :)

7 Years Ago Today...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LITTLE BOY!!!! Time flies... I have a hard time believing that 7 years ago today I gave birth to the most beautiful little boy I've ever seen at 2:19 am. What a night that was. Just a little info... I started going into labor in the middle of the night around 2 am the night before and labored with contractions all day long. Around 5 Erik took me for a ride to the bank and we hit quite a few pot holes on the way, well one major one sent those contractions into over drive and I was in mad pain. About 7 pm I called the doctor and we went into the hospital and found out I was 4 cm dilated so they decided to keep me. Well I walked laps around that hospital, and finally about 11:30 pm Dr. Stevenson broke my water for me and things really started moving at that point. By 12 am I was pushing... looking around I had a ton of people with me... Erik, my mom, my mother-in-law Robin, my friend Darrah, and believe it or not, my boss from work Pam. What a group to have and some say they would have never had it that way, but I would have NEVER had it any different. They were there to help welcome my baby boy and the thought that they cared enough to be there for me was all that mattered. Sooo... 7 years ago today, I welcomed my boy... who I couldn't be more proud of... DYLAN CORNELL ALLBERG... I love you and I wish you a very happy birthday with many more to come! :)

Yeah, we're LIARS...

All this hype for the big move to NC and yet we're staying in NH... who can blame us right???? Cause if you're reading this and in NH, well then it's because of you that we stay, so you have no body to blame but yourselves! :) No, seriously we just had so much more opportunity here and I owe a lot to my sister-in-law Kelly and her husband Scott for having a heart to heart with us on Sunday and making us realize what we'd be missing out on and I have been here for almost 10 years and this is my home now and you guys make up my friends and family. Yet, I am a little disappointed to think I won't be down there where the majority of my family is, I am here with my mom, Carmine, and all Erik's family and that's just as good to me! So here we are, I know you're glad, and so are we... lol.. just kidding, but I hope you're glad!

On another note, it's over 60 out right now and I have had the time of my life today with my kids, it's been amazing! I have also done some major spring cleaning and I'm happy I have a clean house! Go me!!!!!

Love to you all... Until next time America... :)

My Ballerina...

I have a STAR!!!!

Dylan has been playing soccer on the same indoor soccer team for 2 years now and has had one additional year on another team and the improvement has been AMAZING. This past thursday he had an indoor game in within the first 13 minutes of the game he had 2 assists and one goal... and by the end of the game he had scored another goal. WAY TO GO DYLAN!!! It's kind of funny because he is one of the smaller kids on the team, yet I feel he is most improved and when he scores a goal, 2 little boys, Colin and Nolan pick him up and carry him down the court with Dylan's hands holding up number 1! I am so proud of him... I am proud of the team he plays on, not only because they are all GREAT friends, but they are GREAT kids altogether. Nothing makes me happier than to see him accomplish something he has always wanted to. He has never been the best on the team, the star soccer player, or really aggressive, but to me, HE'S MY STAR!!!!!! To me, he's the BEST... he has the best attitude and he tries his best, what more could a mom ask for! Dylan, as long as you play your best and do your best at all you do, Mommy and Daddy will always be proud of you whether you fail or succeed!!!!! Life is about picking yourself up at your lowest point and at 7 years old, my little man has mastered that!!!

So let's see how tonight goes... I am rooting for him like crazy... GO DYLAN... and GO BLUE HAWKS!!
