To Sum It Up...

I have slacked big time, so I am just going to give you a quick run down on the happenings with the Valdez Family in pictures.

We had a very fun Easter this year. The boys enjoyed some hunting at home and at their grand parents houses which gives them lots of candy and money.

We have begun our crazy spring/summer schedule of lots of sports. Boston is playing T-Ball and soccer right now and he loves both of them! He does awesome and enjoys having a game 3 days out of the week. This is his first season of baseball and his second season of soccer. He's had 3 games of soccer and has already scored 20 goals! Boston is a scoring machine! He is so fast on his break-away's that he sometimes has no one to pass to so he goes all the way to score by himself. He is practicing his passing and has had a couple assists which we are very proud of. It is so much fun to go watch him do his sports, and Logan has fun participating to. Logan is going to be just as good as Boston is. He is starting his training now because he thinks he's 5 too, so he takes his bat/glove/ball to T-Ball also and he takes his soccer ball to the games so he can play. What can I say, our family eats and sleeps sports!

Padre pep talk.

Big #5 getting a hit!

Funny thing is no one told him to stand this way in the field. The natural!

It was so much fun to have his first game to be against his cousin and buddy Ryan. Also, they are both #5!

The salon has had quite a bit going on. We did a booth at the Healthy Women's Conference. It turned out great and our booth was very busy!

We also had a few models walking around throughout the conference passing out fliers promoting the salon. They looked awesome! Yup, my model is my soon-to-be SIL Nicole. Getting ideas for her big day! She rocked a cool side up-do with a fish tail. I know, I should have gotten a close-up.

Remedies also did the Prom Fashion show again this year. My models are the three on the left.

(L-R)I did a "Fergie-ish" messy-side fish tail with a bump in the front, a short hair side up-do, and a new take on a french twist. They all turned out great!

Hopefully it won't take 3 1/2 months to update again (sorry mom) but like I said, crazy schedule with sports. That's our family!

Got it working!

Finally! Here are a few pictures for those of you who have waited (not so) patiently. We have had a LOT going on with wrestling (both Cody & Boston), working, and finishing the basement. That's our life though, and we love it. Craziness and all!

This is how Logan fell asleep. He put his hat on himself and got his book.  

Movie night in Boston's room.  

We have a "Minute to Win it" champ on our hands! Boston whips right through it. 9 stacked! 

Logan HAS to do what ever Boston does. That includes squeezing himself onto the stool to brush his teeth with him.

Wrestling season has about 2 1/2 weeks left and then starts soccer. Boston is going to play again this spring and hopefully baseball too. We want to try both to see what he thinks and if we can handle all the running around. Cody has stayed super busy with his work and many extra responsibilities. We ALMOST have the basement finished. All these little touch-ups are taking forever but hopefully we will be done soon (fingers- crossed). I will post pictures very soon on the basement. We have it just about finished painted, we just have  one bedroom left. My camera is dead or I would post some now. You will just have to be patient (mom).

My work is going GREAT and am always excited to create new looks and get new clients.  I have a couple hair shows coming up in February for new up-do styles and coloring techniques. Staying up on my education is very important to me and I love going with all the girls from work.

Boston is doing AWESOME in school! He is reading and was so excited to get his first library card. He loves checking out books and reading them to Logan.  He has learned to tie his shoes, loves writing everyone notes (family & friends), and is catching on to EVERYTHING! He is the best big brother! He is so patient with Logan and loves teaching him how to wrestle and play games.

Logan is definitely going through his terrible two's right now. He is such a cute little stinker who has a mind of his own. He has his fair share of time-outs right now mostly because he is telling mom "no" or he has scratched or hit Boston repeatedly. He does act good most of the time, just don't make him mad. Logan loves to give everyone kisses and hugs first thing in the morning. He is just so excited to see everyone. He sings his "ABC's", "Itsy bitsy spider", & the Tooele school song (dad & grandpa Rich are very proud). He counts to 10 in both English and Spanish and has learned many words in Spanish from his great-grandparents Herrera and Dora. He is addicted to dad's Ipod and loves Angry Birds. Thanks to Boston, he is learning how to wrestle.

Who has the time??

Ok, so this is the second time I have tried to upload some pictures onto our blog and it has failed. I don't know what is going on but I promise that soon you will see some updates in photos.
