4th of July

So I am running a little behind but hey what can I say, better late than never. We had so much fun on the 4th of July this year we went to a friends home that lives right next door to cbs studios, who charges for a pretty cool fireworks show, but we watched it in the yard next door. It was right overhead and way cool and with fun friends and good food who could ask for more.

The boys' outfits are courtesy of our friends, Nicole and Shannon, that went on their honeymoon to Hawaii and brought the boys back these super cute outfits that now totally fit them almost 2 years later and right in time for the 4th. They were a smash hit :)

Adam was a little afraid of the fireworks and when it was over just repeated over and over..."no more fire?"

Kevin, on the other hand hung with all the big kids on the trampoline who pretended they were getting bombed with each explosion, he didn't need mom and dad at all...

June Gloom...or not

June was interesting for us! Aside from the fact that other than this last weekend there has been very little sunshine here in sunny southern Cali for the whole month of June, I have been horrible at my blog. So here is an attempt to jump back in. We haven't done much of anything all month long because of this....




I have been far to sick and tired but for good reason and we are so excited to welcome number 3 to our little, but growing, family . I have had awesome friends who have been helping me with my super cute boys because mom has died on the couch or so it seems. We have been reading lots of books and setting up huge geotrack worlds everyday. Maybe I'll get better at blogging since I have taken the first step and actually done a post.

A Perfect Zoo Day

the bird show guarantees smiles every time :)

Today we ventured to the zoo and it could not have been more perfect. The weather was overcast and cool always perfect zoo weather. We hit it at perfect timing due to the week probably there were no preschool/school groups there while we were there. and we pretty much had the place to ourselves so to speak. On top of that we got to see animals up and moving that we hardly ever see like the hippo and the bears and Lions, yes you read right they were all awake because they were eating. The boys had tons of fun actually playing on the play equipment at their leisure and running from animal to animal. I even got an almost 4 hour nap out of Adam and about an hour and half out of Kev. When we got home the boys went right to sleep and I went right to work on my bread. I hope it turns out.

To Dollywood we go

Our second full day here we went to Dollywood. It was fun and we got to ride lots of teeny weeny rides.

Adam has ridden the train here at Dollywood Three times and has never stayed awake during it even once. It is a 5 mile ride on a real coal train up into the smokey mountains.

The next day we went to the Dollwyood Splash Country water park with Aunt Jessie and Baby Kyah, you know these boys love some water slides...

it made me a little jealous that she looked so fabulous in her brand new bikini with her 4 month old....Yuk!!!!

The next day Kevin was/is sick. So today we are staying home and making curtains. Does he look so adorable and pathetic. He sure knows how to milk a whole day of movies out of his mama :)

Fun and Family

We have been having fun spending time with the fam here are some fun pics.

Kyah and I she is such a cute and round baby, I love round babies...

All the cousins this year brought 3 new cousins for Kevin and Adam they were the only ones until January, Cousins are so much fun it is great to have other kids around.

Here are some pics of the inside of my mom's new house. It is just so gorgeous and bright. I love all the windows and decks. we got to witness a thunder and lightning storm last night on the the screened in porch...very fun.

my family is still not completely moved in there is nothing in any bookshelves and nothing in the china cabinet but it is totally fun being here.

A good big brother

Famous Famous!!!

So Kevin did make the newspaper. He had his first quote in print Today!! We are all pretty excited around here, well maybe me more than anyone else but dang how fun is that for the scrapbook!! Kevin's blurb is on the second page, first column near the bottom but I blew up just in case you couldn't find it :D. The article appeared in the Burbank Leader.

In case you didn't read back a few posts here are some of the pics of what he was talking about




I was a little disgruntled that after spelling his last name correctly to the reporter it was still misspelled but what can you do....Too Fun HUH????
