HUNT

We had our annual egg hunt with our friends. The boys had a blast. It cracks me up to see them running around with there friends having a fun time. Sawyer and Brody they are at such a fun age and play so well together.

Noah looking through his loot.
Ryder picked up one egg broke it open and devoured the candy. He is such a funny kid.

Hunting....

All the kids before we got started. It was a litle chilly so we had less people than usual but it was fun to talk to people on a smaller level.

It was such a fun low key time at the park. Easter is so fun!!

Leo 2010

We just got home Monday night from Leo Carrillo. This was one of the best years we have had in a VERY long time the weather was spectacular. It was even warm at night.

Jeff and I on the beach. Jeff only got to stay for a day. I was sad for him to go home but busy season calls...

Crazy that 10 years ago Jeff and I had our very first kiss at Leo Carrillo. It will always hold a very special place in my heart!! I was trying so hard to take a picture of Sawyer.....to prove he was there....

The boys loved climbing the rocks one time Sawyer gave me a huge scare and I had to haul up the rocks after him. Thank goodness for all those rock climbing trips as a kid.

Ryder and his facial expressions he was cracking everyone up.

It is so crazy 10 years ago we were all teenagers and now we have tons of kids. It is so much fun to see my kids playing with kids I grew up with!!

All the kids hanging out in the hole Morgan dug....probably for Molly but she wanted nothing to do with it.... Noah at the top of the rock.

Ryder and Wes playing in the sand....it cracks me up all of us blondes with all these red headed boys.

Trying to drive the motor home......

Tyson took all the 5 year olds on a hike up the creek with his brave helpers Matt, Holli and Tyler. Noah had the best time and loved it. He was very proud to tell all his friends at school.

St. Patty's day....

I have never really done anything for my kids on St. Patricks day but this year I thought it would be fun especially since Noah learned a little about Leperchauns at school. I made a bunch of little feet prints coming from the front door to the kitchen table......this picture is after Ryder did some rearranging. And next time I am going to have to cut out the feet prints individually because Noah just didn't understand why they stepped on paper. Dang it. This was sitting on the table.....of course I got the picture after the boys had destroyed part of it.
Inside the green bucket was some beads, glowsticks, rings basiclly anything I could find at the party store that was green








Those naughty leperchauns also turned the milik green.....Noah hated it....he wouldn't eat his cereal and gagged when he tried. Such DRAMA. The rest of the boys didn't care. Ryder was a little confused by the green milk in his bottle and I was less then thrilled of what followed in his diaper....next year maybe green pancakes :)

They also dyed the toliet water green....but Noah was very happy when it only took two flushes to get rid of the nasty green water.

All and all some great new traditions I hope to carry on with my boys!

Birthday Celebrations

Sawyer's Birthday started out with a trip to the doughnut store! He was so excited to go and pick out doughnuts for everyone. He was especially excited with his big chocolate twisty doughnut. But not so thrilled to take a picture. What else is new.

Time to open presents.......

He was so excited to open presents!

He got some new clothes, buzz lightyear wings and gloves. He LOVES wearing them around the house!!

Check out that wing span!!

On Sunday we headed out to Temecula to celebrate with my family. It was a great day the boys absolutely love playing with all there cousins!!

Sawyer LOVES the trampoline and he also LOVED playing with Amelia, he kept telling me that she was his friend!

Sawyer had fun trying to show Amelia around too bad Amelia knows her way around there better than he does.

Singing Happy Birthday......it was a fun way to end a GREAT weekend!!

Burfday!!

Another year older!! Tuesday I turned the big 28. I am getting far too close to thirty! The actual day was a LONG day with the boys, but I felt so loved! Thanks all for the messages and phone calls!

That night we celebrated Me, Sawyer and Patrice's Burfday's with family.

Grandma Jody got the boys matching shirts that said my Mom rocks. I love having my boys all matchy and it is much harder these days! The two Burfday girls!!

Sawyer was so excited to wear his Birthday hat!

Uncle Rob and Aunt Shannon with Noah and Sawyer and baby Kaitlyn who should be arriving VERY soon!

Me with my boys, they are impossible to get a picture together.

I went and met my mom for lunch at Toms Farms for lunch which was a real treat since she is super busy this time of year. She bought me this cute decorative stand. It was perfect for the mini cupcakes.

Noah played photographer during lunch.

Me and my baby.

thanks everyone for the Birthday wishes and love!!

Also here is the blocks after. From my last post. I think they turned out cute. They people got to chooce the holiday they wanted.

Living under a rock.....or should I say wood.

Break down:
200 3"-31/2" pieces of wood
200 vinyl letters
50 bottles of craft paint
50 sponge brushes
LOTS of sand paper
and that was for one craft! I was in charge of three. Thankfully the other two were not as time consuming.
(NOTE TO SELF, WOOD CRAFTS= NEVER EVER AGAIN!!) Unless I could get away with charging enough to get myself a saw of my own.


I have been in hiding for the majority of the week. Working on Super Saturday at Church. I am so happy to have it behind me. Collecting money, buying supplies, having Home Depot quit cutting the wood half way through, (thanks again Lisa I would have had to cut 100 pieces of wood with a hand saw), cutting vinyl letters, assembling kits. And then the actual activity. So so so glad it is over. It will take a week for my house to recover.
