One More Time...

... again, a short and sweet post. Last week before football starts- the weather wasnt as great as the week before but we still had a ton of fun before the madness begins next monday!!

MONDAY- Lake day we the girls and kiddos again. Great day, we all got fried though!!!!

TUESDAY- Stayed low key for the most part - enjoyed the park for a fe whours with Lindsay and Maddie though. Then dads game and off to Beachfire to celebrate- LUKE GOT A PROMOTION!!!!!!!! WOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!! (More on that later!)

WEDNESDAY- Daddy left at 445am to head to Monterey for the week for work :( Dont ask me about my day cuz I will get so fired up I may smash the computer :)

THURSDAY- Just what i needed, a day with all the gang at Irvine zoo, lunch in the park and walk around the lake! Then the boys headed to Cheyennes to play, and at dinner time I picked up Maddie and Baby Weston so Jeff and Lins could enjoy their first night out since the baby was born. We all headed to Cheyennes to eat dinner and play with them and Kristyn and the girls since all the men were gone. (Did I mention that all three of us live on the same street now basically- scary much?!?) They played freeze dance and watched movies and wore themselves out before heading back to Lindsays to put her kiddos down for bed.

FRIDAY- Mellow pool day and then we are off to concert in the park with the Vallez's and Widners! Here are a few pics of some of the craziness I experience everyday!!!I think our children are the ones who need to be in the cages.

Freeze dance!!!
How cute are Jack and Emma watchin the movie! LOLJack watching tv with baby weston!Oh and PS... I am OFFICIALLY CAUGHT UP! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! Lets hope it stays this way!! :)

Family Game Night!

Jack was so cute this morning- he says "Mom I know what I want to do tonight! I want to eat chinese food and have family game night!" He even set the times! However mom had to reset them just a tad, but it was a great idea none the less! We spent two hours playing Animal scramble, Trouble and Pictureka! And it has now become our new favorite family activity since Wyatt is actually somewhat fun to play a game with now! Til he loses and goes nuts that is! But Jack- thanks for the great idea bud!!!

Tigers in the Making

So the kids got their new golf clubs for their bdays and the only people who are happier about this then they are (other than Luke) are Nana and Papa!! My mom called me up last week and said can I pick the boys up one afternoon, have them spend the night and take them to the club the next morning? ABSO-freakin-LUTELY!They took them to breakfast there and introduced them to all their friends who work/play at the club (yes my parents know EVERYONE there since they are there multiple times a week). Then they took them to the driving range on the golf cart, strapped their bags in and everything. Then they putted for awhile, which is where we met up with them, we sat on the patio and ordered lunch and watched them putt FOREVER! Literally we got there at 1230 and we didnt leave til 330. They spent 6 hours there playing golf! They bought Jack a new glove- cutest thing EVER! And Wy wanted an alligator head cover! Jack is seriously so into this golf thing its freakin me out (he does know how expensive of a sport this is right?!?!)... needless to say they loved every minute! And so did the kids ;0) Thanks Nana and Papa for a great day!!

Sorry!!!

But i wont be posting much about this week! We had a busy week full of fun stuff! Football starts soon and we are soaking up every ray of summer we can while we have no schedule to live by!!! This was our agenda this week:
MONDAY- Waterpark with Hibbards, Vallez's, and Dershems all day. The some happy hour riptide with the Hibbard fam!
TUESDAY- Beach day with Ambra and the kids all day, then went straight to Mcdonalds for dinner and to dads softball game!
WEDNESDAY- Swim lessons then pool for the morning, then a little break from the sun!
THURSDAY- Lake all day with some of the girls and kids, until a lighting storm hit! LOL
FRIDAY- Swim lessons, waterpark with Jenny and Kristyn and the kiddos until they kicked us out cuz some lame kid pooped in the pool, so we headed to the pool for the rest of the day! Then Nana picked up the boys for a sleepover and Luke and I headed to meet everyone at the concert at the park- KIDLESS! It was great!
So we are pooped, and sunned out! So until next week peeps- PEACE OUT!

Creepy Crawly Birthday!

Wy celebrated his bday creepy crawly style (so not moms cup of tea!) with just our close group of friends kids- small and mellow, another easy party this year. The lizard wizard came and put on a show full of lizards, snakes, frogs, tarnatulas, tortioses- bluck! But he loved it. Except the tarantula part, he wanted nothing to do with that, so we put it on dads head instead! But he did even hold the snakes!! I was proud :) He was showered with gifts and cups of dirt for dessert and a scavenger hunt for all kinds of creepy crawlies (I hid them, so yes, they were fake!) It was a fun day- and for once, Wyatt got his very own bday party! And he LOVED every minute!! Yes friends, that is a PYTHON around my childs waist (think I shit my pants when they put him there?!)

Concerts and Bunk Beds

Every friday night during the summer there is a concert in the park here in ladera. Everyone sets up their blankets and beach chairs in the grass and pack coolers full of booze and hang out for the night. So thats just what we did. We rode bikes up there and packed the trailer on the back of the bike with all our stuff. The Widners met up with us and the kids wrestled and played while we sat there and drank. It was fabulous. After we got home the kids went to bed, but shortly after Luke heard a crying kid. So he went in and found Jackson on his floor (we just made their beds into bunk beds again). He had fallen off the top bunk. BUT that wasnt before peeing off his top bunk, all over his bed, Wyatts bed, WYATT, the floor and their rug! WHATTT!?!>!?!>!>! This cannot be real! Part of me felt really bad for him but the other part of me wanted to make him clean up the mess! Oh and by the way he slept through the whole thing and doesnt remember any of, therefore completely denies ever peeing or falling out of bed. However, he had the battle wound on his arm the next day to prove it!!! HA!!!

Ahhhh HELP!!!

Ive taken on a crazy one year old two days a week this month and between him and crazy Wyatt I may just lose my mind if i dont wind up in the ER first!!! Watch out for flying children if you happen to be in my family room!!! Brayden likes to body slam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, Where Are You?

Hello Sun,

I have a bone to pick with you. It is July, we are done with June. So say goodbye to your friend June gloom and shine some of those yellow rays down our way so my kids quit having to go to the spa after their swim lessons. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Me

I'm 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats right people- the Wy-man is officially 4 years old. And mommy is sad :( This is the first year Wy was old enought to really get it was HIS birthday, and in past years he has always had to celebrate his bday at someone elses party. Soooo this year he got to choose what we did. Here is how the day went....

He got his bday present from mom and dad-

... yes that is a set of golf clubs. Jack got some for his bday too so dad is making these two into little pros soon! He was sooo excited! First we gave him a golf towel-

... he was so excited for that oddly enough.

The balls-

...again totally excited!

But not HALF as excited as when those clubs came out!!!

Next was breakfast. We headed to cinnamon productions for some food. He was one happy piggy.

Next we headed to the driving range to test out these new shiny sticks. Safe to say Wyatt should stick to baseball for now. But Jack was whacking em like he had been doing this for years! Uncle Ethan met us too for a bucket of balls.

Next was Chuck e Cheese!

Then Luke dropped Jack and I at target so Jackson could shop for his brother! He did a great job! Then we hit up some happy hour riptide for Wyatts favorite- sushi!

Then home to open his presents from his brother, which he couldnt have been more excited about! Hes pretty convinced he has the best brother EVER!

Then, a late evening pool sesh. Jack sat out most the time but Wyatt and Luke just swam like crazy!!

He was a happy birthday boy!! And it couldnt have made me smile anymore. It was so fun to see him really have his own bday and appreciate everything sooo much! Once again, he showed me under his tough, jerky, bulldog exterior is still a sweet, loving little boy at heart! This one is sure hard to figure out. People always told me that because Jack was so easy my second wouldnt be. I thought they were wrong when he turned out to be the easiest baby of all time, then he learned to walk, and talk, and yell, and pout hahah and they all proved me wrong! He has so many different sides to him. He is stubborn, yet really wants to please me too. He has a HUGE temper, like veins bulging, eyeball popping, tiger growling temper. But can be so polite and nice and giving. He hates losing, more than he loves winning I think. He gets sooo mad. He is a professional pouter, never whines, just crosses his arms and stares you down. Its scary actually. He is probably the funniet kid I know, he has been a huge goofball since the day he could make a funny face or even a noise. He will just make u laugh all day! He idolizes his brother. He thinks hes the best thing since ice cream. And yes, this kid LOVES his ice cream, or anything else with sugar! He is an athelete! This kid can slug a baseball, launch a football, and runs like a bulldog (no joke, a bulldog, its hilarious). He has the most contagious laugh in the whole world. I can listen to it all day long. And his voice... oh my gosh... his little voice will melt you, with his lisp, and his L's that somehow have W's in them, and his th's are f's. Ahhhh- its so stinkin cute. There is just something about this child that i just cannot get enough of. He is my mama's boy and I would cuddle this child til he was 18 if he let me. I just never wanna quit squeezing him. Luke and I always say, "hes just so cute i wanna put him in my pocket!" There is no better way to put it! Im so excited for him to start school in septemeber but it seriously makes me so sad that he is that old. I just want him to be my baby forever :( To our little bulldog- daddy and I love you and think you are the awesomest kid ever- you bring a smile to everyones face you meet and you never fail to make us laugh. We are so proud of you and are so excited to watch you head to school and start soccer and grow in the next year! Thank you for always keeping us on our toes and reminding us of the little things that make us so happy!! We love you Wy-man, HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY!!!!
