What a Weekend......

This was an action packed non-stop weekend as they all are when it's my weekend with the kids. Friday night baseball, Sushi take out, bed. Saturday gets here. Out of the house early. Soccer game number 1. Soccer game number 2. Team party. Go home. Get ready. LA County Fair. I will stop there for right now. ( and I only have 2 kids.... )

Temio and I decided a few weeks ago we wanted to take the kids to the fair and we just never had time. So here we are the last weekend of the fair and we say "we better go" The kids love it and we really like it so let's just go. Well we got there in the evening and lets just say everyone in LA County was there as well. We played carnival games, ate, watched pig races, ate, walked around, ate.....I think you get the picture. $300 later it was a successful night. The kids fell asleep in the car before we were out of the parking lot. Here are some pictures of our fun time.

The $20 whale

Sunday ended the weekend with flag football, church, winter baseball and a nice dinner at home.

Trent got his first chance on the pitching mound today and needless to say he struck out his very first batter. He walked a few after that but needless to say the smile on that kids face tonight was one that I will never forget. He could have cared less about the walking of the batters. The fact that he struck one guy out right now is the highlight of his 7 year old life. I made brownies to celebrate. He didn't stop smiling all night.

After the kids went to bed early the football game was still on and Temio all of a sudden was barrelled over on the couch. (this is within about 3 minutes..Did i poison him with dinner?) I freaked out and he said he thought maybe he had appendicitis. All of these thoughts were racing through my head......what if it bursts? what if he starts throwing up? what if he passes out? I didn't know what the heck to think. I'm not good with medical issues AT ALL!!!! He told me to leave him alone because I was asking him 20 questions and I went upstairs and almost lost it. Since the beginning of our relationship I instantly fell in love with him. Of course we have our issues, pasts, and outside responsibilities aside from each other but tonight for the first time I realized that I have never loved anyone or cared for anyone like I care for him in my entire life. This man treats me better than I have ever been treated (aside from my daddy ) He would walk to the end of the earth to hug me or kiss me or to just be with me. The way he is with my kids warms my heart. He has shown Trent and Drew how to treat a woman and how to love a woman. I thank him for that. As I type this blog tears are flowing down my face because he is at the hospital and he went alone because he didn't want me to leave the kids. He truly has a heart of gold and I thank God for him everyday. My life is better because he is in it.

I love you Temio.
