Backyard Campout!!

Last week, while I was on my Steering Retreat for Mop's, Sam put his tent up in the backyard one afternoon, and let the boys play in it! Ever since, they've been begging to have a backyard campout! SO...tonight, its happening! Hence the reason I am actually able to finally catch up on this blog!!

No...Drew is not spending the night out there with the big boys...but before I put him down I had to get a picture of him and daddy in the tent!
Logan and Grant with their Flashlights...making shadow shapes on the top of the tent! They were so excited when they heard daddy was putting the tent up, i'm surprised they ever got to sleep! BUT, its 1215am...and I haven't heard a peep out of them!
I just love that they will have fun memories like this to look back on! My babies are so blessed with such an AWESOME daddy...think I kinda lucked out too!
Goodnight boys,

I love you!!

Park days...

Last week I found a new addiction...selling old kids clothes, blankets, bedding, toys, etc. to a local consignment shop! Of course, while I was there Logan and Grant spotted these super cool Batman shirts, that they just had to have! Lucky for them I made a few bucks that day...so I got them each one. Now, if I could only get them to wear something else!

22 days until Logan starts Kindergarten! He is SO excited...every time we pass his school he informs me that "there is my new school...Alta Murrieta"!

Here we are, back at Harveston for a Playdate with a few friends! This is, Logan, Dylan, Grant, and Jack! Who needs a Playset...jumping off the wall is just as entertaining!
Grant and Jack watching the "biggER" boys!

Independence Day!

One of these days i'll get this right...but for now...here is our 4th of July Celebration, starting at the end! We had some friends over for a BBQ, and water fun! The Donley's were kind enough to bring over their super fun Inflatable Water Slide, so we set it up, along with our little pool, and let the kids go to town! This is them finishing off the night with FireCracker Popsicles!

Me and my some of my new friends! This is Michelle, Deena, me (of course), and Melissa! I have always been blessed with the most amazing friends...i'm always so thankful and blown away by the wonderful friendships God has given me!
BEFORE we had our BBQ, we went to Front Street in Temecula for a good old 4th of July Parade. NOT the best parade we've ever seen...but heck, we got a couple cute pictures from it!
Drew's First 4th of July! What a face!

All 3 in 1...

It really is so challenging to get all three of these boys in a picture together...so when I do...even if its not perfect, i'll share it with the world!! Here they are at our friends community pool, waiting for everyone to be ready so they can jump in!

Summer Summer Summer Time...

...time to sit back and unwind!!

I LOVE the summer! This year we purchased a new "inflatable pool"...and we plan to be in it all summer long!

These pictures are not in order...oops! But I love this picture of Grant just drying off after a dip in the poolah!
And the two "bigger brothers" posing for a pic!

This year...If that dog from below even thinks about breaking through the gate to pop my pool, he is gonna have to deal with me...and this year there is no baby bump slowing me down!

3 year appointment!

Here is Mr. Grant at his 3 year appointment...just trying to keep entertained while waiting for the doctor!
Sweet baby Drew...Just waiting patiently for his big brother to be done!
In case you can't tell...Grant is FULL of personality! He is so silly...keeps us laughing constantly. Now that this appointment is over with, he is officially enrolled in Preschool for next year! He can't wait to play at Mrs Hinckley's!

Mother's Day!

Friday May 9th...Myself, Melissa, and Colleen...in a limo, on our way to Glen Ivy for a very special Mother's day surprise!!

For Mother's Day this year Sam thought he would surprise me with a "Day Off"! The plan was for me to just follow his lead, by being ready to go Friday morning, and he would have all the details planned. Fortunately for him, I was onto the fact that something was up...and had to "ruin" the surprise by reminding him that Logan had a Mother's Day program at 11am that I just couldn't...wouldn't miss. SO...last minute change of plans...I ride with the girls down to Glen Ivy...Sam picks me up...I go to the progam, and then head back up the 15fwy for a day of fun with my gal pals!
Me and my sweet baby!
This is apparently Logan and Mrs. Hinckley's special hug! She greats the kids with a hug every morning...and noticed one day that when Logan hugs, he picks up his right foot. She thought it was so cute, that it became a "thing"! Now everytime he goes to hug her he just giggles! He is going to miss her next year...but Grant is in for a real treat!
