OUTNUMBERED AND LOVING IT

Welcome to the Sanchez Family. We are a God loving, church going, unconditional loving, Army family of three wild and crazy boys and one 100 pound english bulldog, taking it one day at a time. I'm the mom, the only girl in the house, and the Queen. Hang on tight, it's sure to be a wild ride!

What! A GIRLFRIEND?!

I picked Zachary up from school on Tuesday and he came into the library with his classmate, Dakota. They came over to play with Isaiah and then we were walking out to leave. When we get outside and part ways Dakota hollers out "Bye, Zachy!" What, Zachy?! I look down and Zachary is grinning from ear to ear! He tells me, "I like Dakota a lot, like a girlfriend a lot." I am about to pass out at this time. He has a friend, Mikayla, that he has called his girlfriend for years, they are the same age and have played together a lot. I asked him about her and he says to me, "I think I am going to ditch her because I don't see her everyday and make Dakota my new girlfriend." I don't know if I should laugh or cry! He is changing so much everyday, I don't think I am ready for 6! In the class picture she is the one in the front row on the end in the red shirt. She is pretty cute!


Oh, and here is a picture of Isaiah and the Easter Bunny I forgot to upload last week!

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter Sunday! The Easter bunny was good to both my boys. Zachary got the 101 Dalmatians movie and some candy and Isaiah got some toys and the Backyardagins movie, at our house. The Easter bunny at Nana and Grandpa's was a lot more generous, as usual! We went to church and then to Aunt Mary's for lunch. The boys got some Easter presents there too, they are just a little spoiled! We saw Gran, Granddaddy, Aunt Mary, Aunt Joy Lynn, Aunt Helen and Uncle Eddie. Of course Kel and the boys and Nana and Grandpa were there. Lunch was delicious and the deserts and chex mix was the best! There goes the lost baby weight!

When we left there we went over the Meamaw's house, yep, she's home!! We visited with her and Paw Paw for a little while and then came home to cheer the Cards onto a 30 point victory!!

March Madness, one sock on, and a great report card!!

Just some random thoughts! We are ready for the first real game of the NCAA tourney tonight! I only hope I can stay up to watch it. Isaiah hasn't been sleeping great and I have been asleep every night this week by 9! GO CARDS!! So sorry the the Wildcats are going to be home watching, from Lexington!

Isaiah is the one sock kid! No matter what he is wearing, every time I look up he only has on one sock! My car has one sock here, one sock there from where he takes them off in the car seat and throws them. On a positive note, he has a good arm!

Zachary got his third report card today. I am very proud to report that he has mastered almost everything except printing his last name, tying his shoes, and recognizing the lowercase letters b and d! He also has 158 sight words! I am so proud of him, he is so smart. I only hope it continues, his love for school and the fact that he seems to pick up things so quickly. The only downside is that since the Wii has come to our house, homework is a battle. He now likes to rush through it so he can play video games and when I make him redo it he gets really mad! It is just one more thing that we are working through! I love parenthood! The other thing that is not that great about school is all the new phrases he comes home with. If he rolls his eyes at me and says "duh" one more time, I might lose it! I love 6 years old!

Enjoy your weekend and Happy Easter to all. I am sure all my friends will be posting some great Easter pictures Sunday night and Monday. I can't wait to see the little girls in all the dresses! I will be posting some pics of my handsome boys too!

Gross mommy moment!

I wanted to share this, without to many details! I had my grossest mommy moment in 6 years yesterday! Zachary was at school and my sweet little Isaiah was playing toys on the blanket in the living room. He was happy and talking so I took that opportunity to run to the bathroom. I left the door open so I can see him and was in there maybe 2 minutes, I promise. I come out and I notice something all over him, yes ladies and gentlemen, it's poop! He is on an antibiotic for a double ear infection and it has made his poop a little softer then normal! It is all over him, all over his blanket, and all over my carpet where he had rolled off the blanket! I couldn't even decide how to pick him up! It was soooo gross! I can't remember Zachary ever having an episode like that. I am going to rent a carpet cleaner today to make sure I got it all off the carpet, I did the best I could yesterday with the carpet cleaner and a brush! Just wanted to share with all you other mommies!

Happy 6th Birthday Zachary!

Happy Birthday Zachary! Wow, 6 years old today. I can not believe it. It seems like yesterday that you were just a little baby. How you have grown. You are in kindergarten now and so very smart. You have moved 5 times, lived in 3 states, and been to 3 different Army posts. You are an official Army Brat. You are now a big brother after being the only child for 5 years and you are the best at it. You are great a t-ball and get monster hits all the time. I can not wait to see what this next year brings you my big boy! Mommy and Daddy and Isaiah love you so much and we are so proud of the big boy that you have become.

We celebrated Z's birthday at Incredible Dave's with my parents and my sister and her family last night. Zachary got a Wii from my parents, and he is overjoyed! He has wanted a video game for as long as I can remember and we kept telling him no. We gave in this year and he is sooo happy. Daddy hooked it up today and they are playing as I type. They all came over to the house today and we had cake and ice cream and Bradley Dylan and Z played Wii while Isaiah and Brady played in the playpen together. Of course I took a lot of pictures, so enjoy!

More snow pictures and an update on my Meamaw!

I thought our California family would like the snow pictures with Pancho Villa!

My Meamaw was moved out of ICU and into a regular room! Praise God! She still has a long way to go, there is still fluid in her lungs and she can't swallow very well but she is improving slowly. Thank you all for your prayers and please continue to pray for a full recovery!

Happy 7th Month Isaiah!

Isaiah is a big 7 months old today! He is changing so much everyday. He is getting so big and doing so many different things it is hard to keep up with him. He has out grown all the 9 month clothes in his closet and now is in 12 months! It seemed like everything got to little overnight! He is going to be just like his big brother, growing like a weed. He weighs 20 pounds and is 24 inches long! He is now in a convertable car seat, having surpassed the weight limit on the carrier. What can I say, I think the NFL is in our future! Mommy would love that!

Isaiah likes
*eating
*picking up his brother at school
*playing with Zachary
*taking baths with Daddy
*sitting up like a big boy
*rolling over
*biting you with his two teeth
*kissing everyone
*being thrown in the air
*his paci, especially his new gumdrop ones
*his lovey
*watching the dogs run around
*he loves his University of Louisville Cardinals!!
*chewing on the remote and mommy's phone


Isaiah dislikes
*going to bed!!

*getting dressed
*being put in the playpen

He is a great baby and I am so blessed to be his mommy. I can't wait to see what the next month brings us at the Sanchez house!

Snow, Snow, Snow!

Yes, it's March and we have about 10 inches of snow here! It started yesterday and continued all night. It's still snowing this morning and we already have 10 inches! I let Zachary go out for a little while yesterday and I took Isaiah out for about 5 minutes. It took me longer to get him ready than anything. He liked it for a minute and then got upset when he realized he couldn't get to his hands! Enjoy the pictures of the snow!

We were going to try to make it to the hospital to visit Meamaw, but now I am not sure. I will keep everyone updated on her condition, so far so good! Please keep praying for her.

GOD IS GOOD!

At about 7:30 this morning Meamaw decided that she no longer wanted the tube down her throat so she pulled it out. She is, as of this time, breathing on her own!! She is a little confused still but knows her name, and what year it is! She may have to have the tube again, it is a day by day decision as of this time. She also might need a feeding tube, they will make that decision later today. Please continue to pray for a full recovery. Pray works, this is proof yet again!

Prayers Needed!

It hasn't been that long ago that I sent out an email to my friends and family asking for prayers for my Meamaw. God answered those prayers and she got much better. She was only 2 days away from leaving Crestview when yesterday she took a turn for the worse. She seemed to be really disoriented and having a hard time focusing. She was taken to Baptist East last night and placed on a breathing machine this morning early. She is not breathing correctly and therefore not getting enough oxygen to her brain. Her lungs are full of fluid and she can not get rid of it on her own. She is going to be kept on the breathing machine for at least 48 hours, maybe longer. She is fully sedated as of this time. As many of you are aware there will be a chance that she will never come off this machine and be able to breath on her own again. I am asking, no begging, that you all pray without ceasing. Please pray for her recovery. Please pray that if she is not to recover fully that she is able to at least be comfortable and that we are able to say good-bye one last time. I know that pray works, Meamaw is proof of that. Please ask your church, your friends and your family to pray for her. Thanks.

Incredible Dave's

Last night we went to Incredible Dave's off of Westport Rd with Nana, Grandpa and Kel,Brad and the boys. It was a really awesome place. It had lots of games for the boys, inflatables, cosmic bowling, bumper cars, and a Wii room. The kids had a great time. We had dinner there and the food was pretty good. It didn't start getting crowded until about 7 pm. I think if we went again we would go around lunch time. The bowling had a waiting list that was about 1 hour so we didn't get to do that. Of course Zachary went home with Nana and Grandpa to spend the night. So today Isaiah and I went to pick him up and hang out with Aunt Kel and the boys. Daddy had Drill this weekend so he couldn't go. :( Look at all the fun we had!
