Bed, Birds and potty training......
We finally joined the ranks of a bed for a king! Our Cal king bed was delivered on Wednesday! We love it!!! Now I need to find a new comforter that I actually like. It has been so fun to snuggle in the morning and we ALL fit!
On Saturday we were heading out to grab some lunch when we noticed that two little birds had been hatched plus fell out of the nest. The first picture is one of the egg shells in the bush.
There were two sitting on the walkway. I wanted to pick them up and take care of them. But Jeff said that was a no no and so we went to lunch hoping that we wouldn't have to come home to dead baby birds or even worst suffering baby birds.
Thankfully this is what we came home to both birds safely back in their nest with mama. I am not sure if they flew or if the mom picked them up either way it was a great sight. Noah is loving the birds he asks about them and checks on them whenever he can. I think he is almost ready for a pet! This morning while I was cleaning up the dishes our neighbors STUPID cat tried to jump in the tree and attack the birds. I got so ticked pounded on the window. I felt very protective and was very mad that the cat was trying to attack the nest.
Ryder is the happiest thing these days...I am loving this age!
Last night we went to a BBQ and Ryder was so tired when we got home he zonked out on the floor.
I thought it would be a good idea to potty train Sawyer...I know crazy he is only 2 but it didn't last long. He had fun for a moment though. We will see I guess we have all summer.

SICKO
Since Wednesday.....
The boys have.....
turned fruit snacks into a meal. (and consuming record amounts)
destroyed the perfectly organized toy room
replaced the side walk out front with LOTS of dirt
Eaten almost entire box of graham crackers before 10am
Used yogurt as paint
Learned to open the Kitchen gate. (Sawyer)
watched more disney channel and movies then ever before
used at least 7 cups each a day
eaten more fruit snacks.
At least there has been no casualties. I have been down since Wednesday with strep throat. I think it is the worst pain ever. And I am praying I will be able to swallow again soon. Jeff has been my on call nurse and even stayed home Friday to cater to my every need. I hope this is almost over and mostly I hope that no one else gets it. This is worst then my c-sections. Hands down.

What we do when you are sick????
WE START A FAMILY BAND!!!!
Let's just say it was kind of a LONG weekend. My Saturday started of great I went with Jeff's Mom and Sister to a make-up class at Nordstroms. It was a lot of fun and I am so excited for all the new tricks I learned. And plus Bobbi Brown has some great make-up with one step eye shadows and things that last ALL day! I am so in love!!!
As we were winding up our afternoon Jeff called to tell me that Ryder was running a temp of 102. Poor baby. We were supposed to go meet some friends at the beach....but sick baby trumps fun. Noah was so sad about missing the beach so Jeff told him we would take him to Grandma's for a swim. While there Noah almost fell asleep in the pool....which turned into a FULL on fever.
It was a LONG night. And a VERY LONG day! Really this was the highlight watching all the boys play guitar hero....thank goodness for Tylenol and Motrin.
They are still feeling yucky....I hope this passes quickly!

Oh Randomness.....I should be cleaning.....
Yah I am having a random day....I never posted the pictures from our family pics in November...yah you read that right.....but in keeping with the theme this is one of my absolute favs!
On with the randomness....
*I got my hair done yesterday nothing too big just more blonde. I almost forgot how much I LOVE getting me hair done.
*I love being tan....not that I am tan enough...I love it. In college I had a tanning addiction....I lived for the fake sun.
*I am appalled by how much my car registration was really California is in need of some reform. Oh and I need a smog check. Thanks CA and all your spending problems.
*I have an obsession with salsa and perfecting the perfect recipe.
*Tonight is date night.
*All you people with laminate wood floors what is your favorite cleaner for it? I have yet to find one that I am impressed with.
*I need a beauty supply store run something serious.
*I am a Dr. Pepper addict. Not every day I don't like it from the can only fountain. Can I get one installed in my house....too bad I would never loose weight that way.
*Someday I will be skinny. I loathe all of you who eat whatever...I look at bread and gain five pounds. Where is the justice?
*After watching Grey's this season I am convinced I have skin cancer. Really I can't watch TV shows they scare me....ask Jeff once there was a house episode about a baby right after I had Noah I refused to let him watch it.
*I need a new hobby. I know many of you are thinking blogging is my hobby...I want something more fulfilling.
*I want to take a photography class. I think I could be really good at it. And from what I remember in high school photography it can't be that hard.
*I have been getting a lot of headaches...I never knew I had such bad allergies.
*My new bed comes on Wednesday. I can not wait.
*My kids are funny. They make me laugh!
Okay I am done I could go on forever and year. And if you just read all of that I am so sorry. You must be as bored as I am! Thanks for humoring me!!

ANGELS......
Jeff's firm has season tickets to a few games for the Angels. Last night we took Noah and went with Grandpa Rich. Grandma Jody watched the babies so we could have a good time!
Noah was so excited all day!!
We had awesome seats it makes a big difference it is actually fun to watch!
Jeff loves to watch baseball with his boys.
We will be going to a few games so we had to get hats! I love that Angel stadium sells stuff for families. They had kids hats for 6 dollars. Too bad we may never get Jeff in an Angel hat.
About a month or so ago the Angels lost a very young pitcher. They have this memorial outside the stadium. It is so sad Adenhart was very young and died tragiclly when hit by a drunk driver.
All of us!
It was a fun game....even if the Angels didn't win. I think Jeff is just happy that I might become a fan of baseball. Even if it isn't his favorite team! But really RED is so more my color!

I'm TEN MONTHS!!!
Ryder is such a cutie. We just love him to pieces. He is getting SO grown up...I can't even stand it!
Things Ryder is doing....
-patty cake....Grammy taught him he loves to do it but is not liking to do it on cue.
-clap...he claps if you say yay!
-scooting...he is scooting backwards and has gotten up on all fours a few times. (Really I do not know what I am going to do when he is mobile...I can barely survive two mobile)
-He puts EVERYTHING in his mouth....EVERYTHING!
-He loves finger foods and feeding himself. He barely lets me feed him yogurt in the morning.
-He loves his brothers and is so entertained by them.
I love that he is so happy these day...really he is a totally different baby. I don't know how we lived that long with him being so sad. Now when he has a tummy ache and cries a ton I can't even fathom how we did that for so long!!!
