Real Game

On Saturday night we went to the Real game to watch my little sister Celeste dance at halftime. We had never been to a Real game before and it was a lot of fun. We also left Ayden with a babysitter for the first time ever! Isn't that funny? He is 21 months old and he has only ever been watched by family before.

Aloha!

We just got back from a wonderful trip to Maui! We had a great time with Kipp's whole family. We spent all day, every day in the water. As for me, mostly at the pool-which I don't mind because I really don't like the sand and salt water-lame, I know! Ayden HATED the beach! We thought that by the end of the week that he would get used to it-nope!

Still on the grass!

One of the things we fell in love with-this salsa from Costco. We ate 7 containers of it during the week!

Everything is BIGGER in Texas!

We just got back from a great trip to see our dear friend Erin in Texas. My friend Mel and I and our boys started our journey last Saturday. It was an adventure getting through security at the airport as single mothers-but it was all worth it! We had a great, laid back week playing in Dallas, Texas. Our week was full of walks, playgrounds, shopping, cattle drives, BBQ, Mexican food, swimming, naps, movies and late night visits. We had such a great time! Thanks Erin and Jimmy for your hospitality!
At the Dallas Forthworth airport, Mel and I had a good laugh at the chicken place we grabbed some lunch at. There was a option on the menu for a "breast substitution" for a dollar more-is that all it costs in Texas? Afterall-everything is bigger in Texas!

We spent one afternoon in the backyard with a blow-up pool. We thought it may entertain the kids for 20 minutes or so-3 hours later, we ended up bathing them in the pool and then sticking them in bed! I love this picture of Ayden's belly!

Poor Ayden got his mother's bum!
Hannah after coming up from a cold drink of water from the pool-I love this face!One of our playground trips was to this amazing park with a huge wooden playground. It was darling! This kids had a blast!Isaac playing peek-a-boo!

We are grateful for such great friends! Ayden is going to think I am the most boring person now that he has had these fun kids to play with! Thanks again guys!

About Time!

I have been really bad at the blogging thing lately-but I am determined to do better! These are just some funny pictures we have snapped recently.
The other day when I was making my nephew Cael his bottle, I left him in the bouncer. This is what I found when I came back...

I guess Ayden thought Cael looked like he was having fun-and wanted to be a part of it too. Cael didn't seem to mind too much!

We also went to the farm at Thanksgiving Point. Ayden was a little nervous around the animals. I would give him the food to feed the animals, and he would either throw it at them from a distance to walk to the trash and throw it away. When it came time for the pony ride-I was pleasantly surprised that he actually liked it and didn't get too freaked out. And of course Ayden loved lunch-well at least the cookie he had with his lunch.

Coming October 2009


Easter in Sin City

We had a great time in Las Vegas visiting my brother and his family over Easter weekend. We spent our first morning there at the Las Vegas Speedway. For Christmas, my family gave my dad a nascar experience for a gift. He was able to drive with a nascar driver in a nascar. Afterwards he was able to drive a sports car on one of the driving tracks. He had a great time-and we learned that it is a good thing that he didn't go into racing-he wouldn't have made any money doing it. Sorry dad!
This is Rex getting ready to drive his BMW.

Once we got there, Kipp decided that he wanted a ride-along experience as well. So he suited up and got to ride in a nascar in the oval, reaching speeds of 180 mph.Ayden might have been the biggest fan of all. He is in love with the movie Cars right now. He loved sitting in the cars. After watching the cars zoom by-this is all he wanted to do the rest of the time we were there. People were getting a kick out of my little tike pushing his stroller around-a wannabe racer.


The TV saved us on this trip. He watched the DVD player the whole way down. Like I said before Ayden is in love with Cars, but he also loves the movie Bolt. Here is my little couch potato watching TV at the hotel after a quick shower.


We also had a wonderful Easter egg hunt and BBQ back at my sister in law's family's house.

My nephew Cael-not so patient. Eating the grass in his Easter basket.

It was fun watching our little turkey figure out the Easter egg hunt. He was very interested in the egg and once he put an egg in his basket he kept going to take it out. He was content with playing with the one egg.
Once the hunt was done, he started opening his eggs. He wanted nothing to do with the treat inside-he just wanted to open the eggs. He is crazy!
