Happy St. Patrick's Day

Scott chopping up 8 heads of cabbage
The Leprechauns came this yr and left
a rainbow with gold coins & shamrock chocolate
and green necklaces. Every yr is different but the gold $1 coins is a must have ....

I took one home with me from school

I think I can take this one,,he's cute

I was feelin happy go lucky :)

This is our 4th year and now a tradition in the Hughes home.. We invite 5-6 families to join in on the fun.. I found out a lot of them have never had corned beef and cabbage with red potatoes, or they just don't want to cook it, or would rather some one else do it. Sc ott and I don't mind it at all and it's one fun holiday where it's not a huge $$$ making day. We have fun everyone has been given something to bring that is green of course ie,,,rice krispies treats,jello, green ice cream drinks, paper goods. Yes th I am cooking all day but worth it. This yr I decided to cook brisket in my crock pot...mmm yummy best one yet. I had 6 briskets cooking at once. No I do not have a big kitchen or a big stove.. Somehow I manage to work it all out... Thanks to those families who joined in and shared the lucky day with us. Martinez,Hyer, Barron, Willett, Jordans, and the Vergos. See ya next year....................

YEA !!! 4 Tanner

Tanner got his Blue ribbon achievement today.. I am so proud of him. He has been struggling this year and his teacher has given him incentives to help. this one is actually for all the kids in school obviously at their own grade level. The goal is to get all kids in each class 100% Go tanner.

Really Want !!

There are two things I really want. I really have had a love and have always like taking pictures. I almost always have a camera on me. I like catching people in off moments , when they are NOT expecting them. I would love to get a very good and nice camera and take some classes too.It seems everyone around me has a nice camera.Yes kinda jealous.
They other want is actually a NEED now. We have outgrown this cute little home and we need some growing room. We bought this home newly married no kids and both were working full time. Now we have 3 kids I'm home full time and i feel crammed in it. Do not get me wrong I am very blessed to have a home a roof over my head.Especially in these tough times. I just feel really tight in my home,with one bathroom and and no family or other room to go.

I'm hoping for my birthday a camera or a front porch I've always wanted. Since my husband wants to stick it out here another 2 yr or 5 he says. I won't last. Two yrs I can do I Hope. another 5 or even 10 not an option.

Let's play ball

Well it's officially little league baseball season now. As this year it will be quit interesting with 2 kids playing to see how this is going to all work.I already know we have some games playing at the same time and since Scott is manager for Logan's team he will have to miss tanners and Mom will be going back and forth. It is so fun to see Logan have so much excitement and to have his own team and his own uniform. Tanner is in AA and Logan T-ball. We also look forward to some Dodger games. We really enjoy them...

Scott i s working two jobs coaching two teams and somewhere he finds time to take me out on a date. I did feel like a single mom. I have the kids a lot.People have asked me how i do it. I don't know any different to be honest. I love being a mother and playing and teaching my kids.

I've tried and I need help so if anyone knows how I've tried to change my blog to some bright colors either i just am not doing right or i don't get it. I love march for the spring and St Patrick's day. It is a fun green day at the Hughes home.

My valentine hearts i made from wood.Everybody loves them.

These cute block hearts I made at an Enrichment night.

I must be Loved... Scott sent roses because he is away.

These are my three other Valentines. I

think they are cute, sweet, kind.

I hope you all had/ have a sweet valentines and had someone to share it with. At this time of year it's nice to know your loved. I have a couple sweet friends that check up on me and love them for that. I have three sweeties that keep me going going going. I have grandma, grandy & grandpa that are very close in heart and distance and I have my best friend and love back in my life. I am sooo loved. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Sunbeam !!!

Paige is so excited to be a Sunbeam with all her friends. She has Kate, Sophie,Peyton,Isaiah,Evan,Elias& Juliana. That's a big group. Paige clings to me because I'm secretary so it makes it quit hard. She loves her teacher Sister Roper (also our neighbor). I have entered a new stage with all 3 kids in Primary. Wow!!! that's so new to me. Paige enjoys the sunbeam song Popcorn, snowman and I am a child of God. Congrats miss Paige...

Sparkling 2010

Well as you can see we've been tagged..
The boys wanted to paint a piece of wood
so I got my craft paint and brushes
out and they were too quiet i told Scott.
We were both reading and got up to see
why there was a Mom/Dad we have a surprise
you don't want to know what we said . so
now they are actually excited to repaint the fence
white again.

Mom/Dad both worked new yrs eve so we left the
poppers confetti and fun stuff to do with grandma.
they had sparkling cider and stayed up as late as they
could and fell asleep on the pa let on the floor.


Paige graduated from nursery to sunbeams and from
crib to big girl bed too....Now we just have
to train her to stay in bed.



This what I did Christmas eve and new yrs eve.
decided to make chicken tamales.
first batch 72 second 80. We gave away as gifts
to friends family and neighbors. we traded some for
Cinnamon rolls and candies. It works. trading still
works. Any how i love having tamales in my freezer.
I hope all enjoyed the Rose parade and I'm hoping and praying for a happier and better year than my last. I have had some major obstacles in my way and it's the way you handle them that makes you the person you are. My personal goal is to be happier and and less stressful. With a new Year a new start..........Go 2010 !!!!
