Nick's 16 Birthday

Nicks 16 Birthday was on April 14 and because it was on a Tuesday he didn't invite any friends he is saving that for this Saturday. During Lunch Nick got checked out of his Drivers ED class and went up to the DMV to get his license and he only missed 6 on the driving test!! Then when everyone got home from school we started cooking Nicks favorite dinner enchiladas, after that we all gathered in the living room and started opening presents. Aunt Jeannie got him a gas card and a strawberry Frappuccino from Star Bucks, Aunt Barbara and Emmalee got him movie tickets, then the presents he got from the whole family were golf balls, T's, and the BIG one a whole new set of golf clubs and a new carrying case you should have seen the look on his face he was not expecting that at all, then he also got a cowboy hat from the Davis family which looks hot on him haha and Jessica got him new skull candy head phones which are totally pimp!

Body Painting with Brooklyn

As some my know I love to paint. On this particular day I was feeling rather liberal and experimental. So I asked Brooklyn if she wanted to paint with me, as always she said yes, because she LOOOVEES to paint, with paints, water, pen, make-up, and marker. Pretty much anything she can find that will leave color on a surface. I went into the twin's bedroom and got out some washable paints and decided to have Brooklyn as my canvas. I sponged dolphin's, turtle's, frog's and elephant's allover her body. Then I painted her face, which Suzi pointed out it made her look like an aborigine, it made me laugh because it does. I then painted her fingers and put dots allover her as well. Then Heidi pulled in and both me and mom said "oh no"because Heidi was there to pick the kids up and Brooklyn was covered in paint. However, we had fun.

Easter MADness

Easter at the Pabla house is nothing short of MAD. This year we had 10 people to entertain with candy and prizes. Easter eve, I had picked up some eggs that were prepackaged with candy and had a reflector band around the egg. It came with 2 flashlights. So naturally I had to pick up 2 packages, for a total of 4 flashlights. Nick, Sterling, Suzi, Savannah, and Max had an Easter egg hunt in the dark. Which ended up taking them forever to find the eggs. And we are missing 2 eggs. I hid them and I still don't remember where they are. Easter morning after a very long night, Woke up to everyone walking around waiting for all to wake up. At about 9:30 we all were up and the hunt for the Easter baskets started. The winner was Suzi finding her basket first, then Nick, Hillary, Sterling, Savannah, Emmalee, then the adults, A.Barbara, Jessica, and MOM were given their baskets by the kids. Max was woken up and showed where his basket was. Once the baskets were collected it was time to raid the candy eggs, soda, and chips which were placed inside and out allover. Good times to be had by all.

Heidi's Easter Egg Hunt
After Easter morning was over Heidi invited us up to her house to have dinner and have an Easter egg hunt. Everyone went up to her house Family from both sides were there. Beau's brother's wife's family all came, and all of our family went up so there were a lot of people there, but we had a great time. We had a ham dinner from the Honey Baked Ham store. TASTY stuff dinner was. Then the egg hunt began.

Zany, Brooklyn, and Max are the first to go find eggs

Now it's all of the other kids turn to go find eggs, some even have money in themThe search for the Golden Egg resulted in wrestling over who found them. Nick was the winner in finding the egg that had 10 bucks in it. The other eggs had 5 dollars
These are the Golden Egg winners Morgan, Cody, Savannah, Sterling and Emmalee tied, Suzi and Nick.

Easter was such a blast. Thanks to everyone and all.

Sterling's Corn Rows

I got bored like I always do.(you would think a guy like me would always find something to do but No I do get bored sadly as its.) So I came in the living room and sat down and said,
"I'm sooo bored." Like I always am.
Jessica asks me, "Can I corn row you hair?"
So I just say sure I'm bored anyways, so I let here corn row my hair.
And this is what came out.(and just to tell ya it hurt like crap so I am never doing it again. And I was so happy I took it out that night to.)

The News

About a week ago Mom goes to the doctor because she has pulled out her back -again- and she needed some pain relievers... thank goodness for those. The doctor asks if she has had a mammogram- she is over 50 and its routine- right away she does not want her boobs mushed in the machine. She claims they will have to take the pictures in sections because her breasts are SSSOOOOO large. (I have to laugh with the images that appears in my head.) She heads off to her mammogram and she is sitting in the waiting room for over 2 hours because the lovely staff at Lakeview Hospital has lost her paper work. -SIGH- then they take her back and make her try and put on a gown, but she claims they are too small and stays in her shirt while they do the actual mammogram.... its over and I ask her how it went and she says fine. SO I think OK this is good news. The next morning I do not want to wake up and start my day. She comes down the stairs and does a load of laundry. Which is shocking in its self because she does not come down the stair in our house she usually goes out side and uses my front door. She sits on the foot of my bead and says "Can you keep a secret?" yes I said, she says "They found a lump" a million things go through my mind, 1st. There is no history of Breast Cancer in the family
2nd. What is going to happen now
3rd. Are the doctors know for sure that its a lump
then we talk have jokingly half serious, well its a good way to loose 50 pound instantly if they have to remove it. She had another appointment this time it was an ultrasound to determine what kind of lump it was. I am awake and telling her its important to go and make sure it everything would be OK. She has the ultrasound and comes home saying they will call when the doctor gets the results. The doctors office calls her and makes an appointment to read the results yesterday. Today at 9 in the morning they call back and tell her she needs to come in and talk about treatment options. This gives me the chills, but she does not, me once again to go with her. An hour goes by and she still has not come home. When she finally comes home she is honking for Aunt Barbara to take her to the doctor. Its now 5 o'clock and I have a chance to talk with her. She says "the doctor can't feel the lesion that they will not take a biopsy today. And to have another mammogram in 6 months." UMM I thought they found a lump. but turns out it is a lesion that is flat and round. Which is different then a lump that is full of liquid. Now the only thing that is recommended is to wait.... ggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I don't want to wait.
I went to this web site for information. www.breastcancer.org

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

NO HEAT!!!!

The new year brings new hope, sometimes new love, and a bunch of other stuff our family dreams about. However the new year also bring new hardships. Such as no heat. YUP our Heater only will blow out cold air. As far as I am concerned if I wanted to be cold I would go out side and freeze. For two days now we have been forced to build fires. All I can say about that is "LAME". in a world that is dieing because of too much pollution in the air, and the only technology we can come up with to keep warm is to build a fire. There is something very wrong. Starting the fires only cause our house to smell like we have been camping up at the Ranch for weeks on end. STALE, DIRTY, and SMOGGY. We also have been trying to come up with ideas for wood. We used up all the other from last winter and we have resulted to chopping up some old furniture, which has made mom cry a few times. And who knows if the guy will even be able to fix the furnace... oh man, it feels like its going to be a very l o n g winter if he can't. Well have to wait until tomorrow to find out all the major details.

New Year

Happy New Year

Last night was filled with poker games and laughs. When the hour reached midnight we turned on the TV and watched the ball drop. No sooner than it reached midnight we- Jessica, Nick, Sterling, Maddie, Suzi, Savannah, and Max went outside banging pots and pans with lids and spoons, yelling at the top of our lungs HAPPY NEW YEAR!. for a solid minute. What a way to bring in the new year with family and friends.
