4th of July!

Well unfortunately we were here in AZ for the 4th this year--I LOVE the 4th in San Diego it's so much more fun with the beach, the water, the cook outs, the cooler weather, and a million other reasons, but we made the most of it and the lovely monsoon actually made for amazing weather for watching the fireworks. I actually did not get very festive with the food/desserts this year because I booked a last minute baby shower this week that is in 2 weeks and it's quite elaborate so all my crafting and planning has gone toward that! We had The Stillman's over to BBQ and swim and then went to the park down the street which actually has a HUGE turnout for fireworks. The kids had so much fun literally swimming the whole afternoon away, and my Mom joined us for fireworks which is always nice! So it was a pretty nice day and as long as the kids have sweet memories and our little family is starting to form traditions I can't ask for much more...

Lil' Life Group!

This summer our church added a "lil" life group for Trey's age group. They do a Bible story, matching craft, lunch, and then free time. The moms stay so that means there are little siblings around so Boston got to get in on some of the fun too! Todays story was on everyone being unique and that everyone is perfect the way they are:)

CARS 2!

Trey among thousands of other kids LOVES LOVES LOVES the movie CARS--so Mark and I thought it would be fun to take him to see the new one in the theater since we have never taken him to a movie--Poppie even met us there too. So we gave Boston to MiMi and headed to Harkins--he was SOOOO excited! He sat the whole time in his own chair. Of course we had to stop and get ice cream after too just because I think Trey was having so much fun with us one on one!
*Trey LOVED the movie of course but if you are one of those parents who doesn't like violence this is not the movie for you lol there are tons of machine guns, guns, & bombs--it has a secret agent twist to it--this caught me off guard at first just because the other one was nothing like that.
Waiting for the movie to start...
He doesn't get sweets much so he was VERY excited lol

My baby's starting to swim!

Trey is doing so good with swim lessons--it is so neat to see him starting to swim on his own--obviously he still needs to use his arms more but were getting there!!!

Father's Day!

Our day started off with Trey helping me make a little breakfast so we could go deliver it to Mark in bed--but then Mark got up earlier than normal so we ate it normally lol. Then we gave him his Father's Day presents. Can you tell who picked out the gift bag? Then we went to church and to Chompies for lunch. Then it was nap time for all... Then we had dinner and swimming at The Smith's with everyone!!! 21 lobsters I believe is what it took to feed all of us lol--and they were delish!!! The boys are so lucky to have such a awesome DAD & 2 active grandfathers in their lives!!
Stirring the waffle batter
Of course Boston wanted to see what was going on

Trey loved his card he made
I LOVE that this is just our immediate family lol

Doesn't this look like the sunscreen ad?

Summer Days...

Here a few different days of playing outside in the water... The boys and I usually go out and play with the splash pad in the mornings. One day this week Rylie came over and played all day while her mom and dad went to work--it was so weird to have a girl in the house lol!!! Trey was so gentle and kept calling her baby girl lol. I even painted her toenails during lunch lol!! I couldn't resist!!

Take note of the WWF moment about to happen...










Miss Rylie with the boys


Even Boston likes to jump into the pool now too

Mark's Birthday Weekend--Day 3

Again we got to sleep in which was good because we were out late lol!!! We sat in the lounge area of the hotel and had coffee and did major people watching! Then is was off to do some shopping (oh the shopping is amazing there) before we left.

The trip was beyond fun and I can not wait to go away again after a little while lol. I loved the one on one time with Mark!! 3 whole days & 2 nights was the perfect amount of time to be away from the boys--any longer and I think it would start to consume me that I missed them too much. I was getting a little nervous leaving them the night before so much so that I went and brought Trey in bed with us just so I could snuggle with him. (I would have brought Bos too except he HATES sleeping anywhere but alone in his crib) So thank you so much to our parents for taking the boys--it was so nice not worrying about them and knowing they were happy and safe!!!!!! Now I just wonder if we are allowed to have another and they will still let us leave on little trips lol???

*Thank you Arie and Shayla for babying us on the flights and for flying us!!!
