Happy Birthday Buddy!

Tonight the teens are over for Video Game night and so they got to celebrate with the birthday boy! You wonder why he talks like a teenager sometimes. He thought it was the best that they celebrated with him! He is starting to feel better now that the antibiotics are kicking in. Still couldn't force myself to eat a cupcake though......... Since he blew out the candles! LOL

Last day as a 5yr old

So tonight Tay is running a 102 degree fever. Had to cancel his fun day tomorrow that consisted of his pictures and Chuck E Cheese with his cousins. I hope he will feel better when he wakes up! That won't be a fun way to spend his 6th birthday! :( I will bring him breakfast on my way home from the mountain and hopefully that will start his day off good. We have a long weekend of fun too so he HAS to feel better by then! Oh yah the picture is of him tonight trying to smile about his new bionicle Grandma got him. He really does love it, he just feels crumby!

My new hiking buddy

After braving the entire summer last year, I am pleased to announce I don't have to do it again this year! Where were these great misting systems last year? Today on my hike I had this puppy strapped on an misting me! (Ok so it isn't the coolest looking thing but who cares!) The packaing says it will cool the area 30 degrees. Not sure it did that but it made the heat bearable! Gonna buy another tomorrow! Gotta have a backup! :)

Excuse the lame commercial....

Ok so I just set my phone up so I can blog while I am out and about with pictures from my phone. The only thing I hate is the Verizon advertisement that they throw in at the end of each blog. So just pretend it is not there! It is not me who thinks everyone needs to know the means by which I blogged!

My Day

Well Today was a busy day! It started early as I had to get the kids to VBS by 9! (That's early for me!) They had a blast! It was so weird for me though cause I always have Trevor when I drop Tay off at school, but today I dropped them both off!!! I had 3 hours to do what "I" wanted! Funny though, I spent the whole time setting up their new aquarium. We bought it yesterday and put 3 fish in it.... by 8:30pm (5 hours after we bought them) they were all dead! So today my task was more fish and make sure the water in the aquarium was conditioned properly....fun... so far so good! They still have 4 fish, Lightening McQueen, Tow Mater, Mauri, & Phantoka!
After I picked them up, we went out the the cemetery to bring flowers. Can't believe tomorrow is a month that Grandma passed away. Time flies even when you aren't having fun. When we were there, Taylor said, "Mom can I ask you a question?" I said sure....... he asked, "Mom would people please stop dying??" ahhhh It is hard enough handling your own sadness, but when you see it affecting your children it hurts bad!
When we left there, we went back to the house so we could start cleaning out some of her stuff. It is so hard to know where to start. I think we made a lot of progress, even though it doesn't look like we did!
We finished up the night making David's father's day present! I can't wait to see the kids give them to him! I just know he will love them! (David, you better pretend even if you don't!!)
Ok off to bed to do it all over again tomorrow! well not the same activities but to be busy I'm sure!

As The Weather Heats Up.....

Yesterday we had Lisa, Hannah, and Gabby over for tons of fun! The kids played in the water until they couldn't play anymore! Taylor is getting pretty good at the Slip n slide. it was fun watching the other kids get the hang of it! They are so cute. Plus it was such a beautiful day!! Last night the big slide we ordered for Tay's birthday came! We are such fun parents, we set it up at 9pm and let the boys play on it. Where else besides Phoenix can you set up a water slide at 9 at night and play on it!! I have to admit I got a bit chilled but it was fun!!!
Tomorrow we are going swimming with Lisa and the girls! should be a great time!! I am enjoying the summer activities so far!! :)

Needed Vacation

Just got back from the hotel. I needed a day to just do nothing. The boys had a great time swimming. Taylor was doing awesome with swimming. He was a little hesitant at first but after a few minutes, he picked up right where he was last summer. I think even better!! He was swimming pretty good! yeah! Now time to work on Trevor! He is pretty confident though so hopefully it won't be long!
It was a great time!!!! Already planning the next time! (Tay wants it to be what we do with him for his Birthday as a family)
