Beach Days!!!

The boys and I had a great time the last two days spending time at our friends beach house!! It was such a fun treat!! We loved it....not only was the beach perfect, but it was so nice to have a house to take a break in and just let the kids play. All of us moms were even surprised how well ALL the kids played together. We had such a fun time and I am so glad that we got to go especially because our beach days are very numbered with the baby coming SO soon. I am also glad that we have such good friends who helped chase my kids when I could not get there fast enough....oh and Karin took way more pictures than me which I am sure she will post soon.
We had so much fun on Tuesday night some of the dads came down and we went to dinner on the pier at Rubys. Noah loved looking at all the people fishing. We saw someone catch a sting ray it was HUGE!! Noah and Jeff also saw dolphins. It was really a wonderful few days!! Really I don't think I can go to the beach with two little ones any other way!! Thanks Charise for inviting and entertaining us!!!!

Popsicle.....

Our new favorite thing around here especially for Sawyer are sugar free popsicles! Grandma Jody is so smart and started giving them to the boys, the best thing about them is that they are not even sticky!!!! And they taste good. The boys LOVE them and ask for them atleast once a day. It is great for Sawyer because it keeps him entertained for atleast 30 minutes which is a very great thing for me!!!

Put me in coach.....(Grampy)....

Noah has been cracking me up this week. Every morning when he wakes up he wants to change his clothes and put on his "soccer shorts" and socks. He then kicks a ball around the living room. I know that my dad would be so proud!!! When I went to Temecula on Friday he made me bring his shorts and a pair of socks. Oh and he gets very upset if his socks are not long enough. He played soccer with Grammy while I was at my hair appt. He cracks me up my mom and I could not stop laughing when he suited up to play. I can't wait for him to be old enough to play Rec. soccer I think it will be a wonderful outlet for all of his energy!!!

FINALLY........

So after a week in a half we are finally up and running. No thanks to verizon.....never never use verizon for any services. After spending many many HOURS on the phone they are still working on it, meanwhile we have found peace with AT&T. I just wish I was really rich so I could ditch verizon altogether and tell them to eat all there fees. But as soon as I can cancel I will I DETEST verizon and all of their idiots they have working there.

Anyway enough venting. I have just been so beyond frustrated with them. We have not done much in the last two weeks. I think knowing that I could not blog I forgot to take pictures of some of things we have done. I am sick yet again, I think never ending in this pregnancy. We have been working with Noah on using the potty and I am proud to say he can pee like a pro at home but still refuses to poop on the potty. But with all the books I have read they say that will come and that it is totally normal for boys...who knows. So that is about the extent of the excitement. I did finally find something to cover my last wall in my living room.....which made me very happy and now I just have to get the rest of the house organized before Ryder comes. It will be a one room at a time process!!
These are not the pictures I planned on putting in the frame but they will do until Ryder is born and then I will change them anyway.....

Feed me lady.....

This is what happens when your one year old is hungry and you don't give him what he wants.....



He decided that he needed applesauce and opened it with his teeth. He ate the whole thing, slurping through the holes he made. He was very impressed with himself.

Working on it.....

I am very slow this week. I am having such a hard time adjusting getting back into the things that are considered "normal". I still have to finish putting away all of our vacation stuff, not to mention clean the house and keep up with the boys. But really all I want to do is lay on the couch and finish the two books I started on vacation. On Monday when I took the boys to walmart I seriously could not remember how I left the house with just me and the two of them. Noah literally laid down on the ground and refused to move?? What!!! I do not know what came over him, I know that WE traumatized him by leaving him, I really think he was worried that we would never return. He won't let me out of his sight, at first it was sweet especially on Mothers Day. But now a bathroom break would be nice. Plus I just can't catch up on sleep, I never can nap usually it makes me stay up all night but lately I have been laying down with the boys and then sleeping for about an hour. Hopefuly with the weekend coming I can get caught up.

Anyway last night we took Noah to another Angels game. He of course was so excited, especially to have a little mommy and daddy alone time. Grandma Jody watched Sawyer so that we could take Noah with Grandpa Rich. We had a great time, we even caught a t-shirt! I never get lucky like that. It was a fun night even if the Angels lost.

We're Back!!!

Well we made it home last night from our wonderful vacation. I was so nervous about leaving the boys for so long. But once we arrived in paradise we had a great time. We did a lot of relaxing, eating and playing. It was so nice to not have to be anywhere at anytime and I loved only having to worry about me. We did a lot of snorkeling, it was so neat to see fish right out in front of our hotel...we did not even have to get that far out! We ate at so many yummy places and I even tried fish! And it wasn't bad!! By Wednesday I had a minor meltdown from missing the boys and poor Jeff had to console me, but I loved being there and I am so glad that we got the opportunity to go and enjoy a vacation before Ryder joins us in August. Here are some of the pictures, I won't torture you with all of them.....

We can't thank Jody and Rich enough for taking us to such an amazing place and my parents for taking such good care of the boys!!!

I had a great mothers day and I was so glad to be able to be home with my babies..even if they are making me pay today and yesterday. Noah won't leave my side even to go to the bathroom. My mom took the boys to the library and they made me the cutest little gift, their little hand prints with a poem and then my mom framed it. It is so cute and I loved it especially since it was my first hand made gifts from my babies!! I am so spoiled and I am so lucky!!!
