EGGciting Day

We had a great weekend....of course they are NEVER long enough especially when Jeff works ALL day on Saturday. We went to Temecula for conference. Nothing like being spiritually fed.

This morning I woke up with the grumps....serious grumps and it didn't help that my family was on a mission to make it even worst. But I got up and did. I took the boys to an easter egg hunt with all our friends. As always the boys had fun and loved the egg hunt. I didn't last long at the park because it was HOT and there were just too many BIG kids....Sawyer is no fun to chase when the park is crowded. So we bailed.
I enjoyed a quiet afternoon until Ryder decided to for go his nap to play with me. Don't tell him but I liked it. I like the fun moments with my baby.

After our "Opening Day" dinner (more to come on that) we dyed easter eggs. The boys had fun with the stickers I think they may have been the best part.





(don't worry that is green beans not green boogers. I guess that is nasty either way)

I love my little family and all the fun that comes with these crazy boys. My grumpy day turned out fun....I guess it is attitude.

FINALLY!!!!!

Our new couches FINALLY came!!! We bought them at the end of February during a great sale......it was such a great deal that they were on back order. Finally they got delivered yesterday!! I love them. The boys love jumping on them.....which is not allowed. My favorite thing is the cushions and pillows are all sewn on so the kids can't pull them off!!! HOORAY!!! Thanks babe for finding such an awesome deal!!!

We got home late last night from camping. I should be cleaning out the car doing laundry blah blah blah. But I am enjoying some lazy time on the couch blogging. We had such a blast as we do every year! This year Jeff came down for the weekend which was nice since last year he didn't come at all. The boys loved it they had a blast playing and being outdoors. Ryder was so great and loved it all too.

 

The token family shots at the beach and in front of the tree. I have a picture of Jeff and I when we had our first kiss there 9 years ago. It is so crazy to be there now with three kids. Who would have thought!!!

 

Sawyer was a walking garbage disposal. He literally went from camp to camp chowing down. He would walk to Sandi's trailer and grab chips and candy. He even was taking stuff from people on the beach who we didn't even know.

 

Aaron was up in Utah and couldn't come....so Leslie drew him in the sand. It was so much fun watching Hunter and Noah play together and then Wyatt and Ryder they are so cute and I wish we got to hang out with them more.

 

It was such a great time I love spending time with friends and family and can't wait until next year.

A few days ago at Ross I scored this awesome dress up set for Ninja Turtles. Noah actually found the set. It was missing a sword so I got it for threee dollars. Noah is in heaven and has been wearing it every where (even to Target this morning) I did not even want to fight with him. This kid is ninja turtle obsessed.

Week of Birthdays!!

Last Friday we celebrated Sawyer's 2nd Birthday. It was so fun. Ever since I was a little kid my mom always made a BIG deal about our Birthday's. So I tend to go crazy. Jeff and I blew up 20 balloons and put them all over his room. And put up streamers and a cute cars banner. We always do breakfast in bed. So when he woke up we took him his chocolate doughnuts in bed ......and of course being Sawyer he did still want cereal but we don't do that in bed. He had a great day we took him with some of our friends to McDonalds he got a happy meal and played in the play place. Then that night we went to round table. He loved his birthday and kept telling everyone else happy birthday. It was so cute!






Then Saturday we went out with The Trapp's to celebrate Michelle, Patrice, Sawyer and mine birthday's. We had a lot of fun. Sawyer and Noah LOVED their bumblebee transformers. Seriously they have never behaved so well at a restraunt.



Yesterday was Leslie's birthday. We took her and her friend Hayley to Disneyland. It was a long day but it was so nice to have helpers!! The week of Birthdays is now over for now. Boy did we have fun celebrating!





On another note thanks everyone for your thoughts and advice about Ryder. He is finally on some strong medicine for his severe acid reflux. We will try this for three months and then re-evaluate....which probably means a specialist with lots of not fun tests. But we are glad that he is finally becoming a happy baby. This past month has been so trying on my patience to see your baby suffering and not able to tell you is horrible. Thank goodness for modern medicine. I know that there is a lesson in patience for me in all of this. I hope it is over soon because I really want to enjoy him, instead of wishing the days away. So thanks again and thanks for the Birthday wishes and to our friends and family who endure Ryder's sad sad cries whenever we hang out.

They say it's your BIRTHDAY!!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Sawyer. We love you so much and are so glad to have you in our family. You are my easy going boy. Which I am SOOOOOO grateful for. I don't know what I would with out your sweet loving personality.

Best Birthday!!!

The last few Birthdays have been rather lame, last year it was on a Sunday boo...boring. And the year before that I was so huge and fat and miserable four days before having Sawyer plus I was on bed rest. But this year was fabulous. So fabulous.

After hanging with my parents on Saturday we partied some more with Jeff's family. We went to the Cheesecake Factory. We celebrated Grandpa Rich, Aunt Patrice, Me and Sawyer..lots of March birthday's. It was yummy food and fun people. Ryder screamed the entire time. Finally he gave it up just in time for me to do some shopping with my birthday cash. I got some great stuff from Old Navy. And some really cute shoes at Nordstroms. I LOVE Nordstroms did you know if they don't have what you want you can buy it and they will ship from another store and ship to your house? I got my shoes today I was so excited when I got home today!

Sawyer loved presents....Noah was sad and wanted to know where his presents were.



One of the only happy moments all night. TEETHING is HORRIBLE!!!


Massages....we go on Thursday I can't WAIT!!!!


My actual birthday started out with a sourdough bagel in bed with presents. I got PHOTOSHOP. I am so excited to learn it and take better pictures. I really want to take a class maybe in the fall!

After breakfast we headed to speech (a dreaded Monday morning activity) and then off to Disneyland. Grandma Jody watched Ryder so we could have fun and enjoy the day. Good thing it was very crowded but well worth it. Thanks friends for meeting us and having fun with us. The boys had so much fun buying stuff with my fun card. Seriously that is the coolest thing free stuff.




When I got home from Disneyland Jeff had sent me two dozen roses....they were gorgeous I am so lucky.
After Disneyland Jeff took me out to dinner. We went to Outback, Jeff was a little worried since the last time it was horrible. But I complained about that and they sent me a gift card so I wanted to use it. I love free stuff.


Thanks everyone for the Birthday wishes I had a great day and I am SO lucky to be surronded by such great friends and family.
