Monster Jam 2010

We went to Monster Jam pit party on Saturday during the day.
We stayed for a couple hours.
Walked around and took some pictures.  And got some of the driver's autographs.
The boys had fun looking at all the trucks.
Tanner was in love with watching to RC cars.  He wants one sooo bad!
Carson's favorite truck is still  El Toro Loco. He was not happy to be taking a picture in front of Grave Digger. haha!

Greyson was just happy inside my new joey wrap.
Brian and Tanner were giving me a hard time when I was putting it on before we left.
They kept asking me if I just wanted to take the stroller.
I assured them that this was going to be way better.
And it was!

That night the boys went to the races with Brian.
I stayed home with Greyson.
I have to be honest.....I was a little sad that I wasn't going this year.
There I said it! 
Well as if you didn't already know my love for this place!

I am happy that they had fun.
But just so you know....
I WILL be there next year!

Spoiled???

Is he spoiled or does he just like to be held?

He is just a happier baby if he is being held.
He will be ok for a little while in his chair but then he wants to change things up.
He will kick his legs and get excited if someone comes up to talk to him.
It is like he knows you are going to pick him up.
Oh and he likes to be held standing up.
How do babies know this?

I think he is going to be getting enough spoiling around here without being held!!

I can't seem to get it together. 

I can't seem to find the right time to exercise. 

I know I need to. 

I want to get off this blood pressure medicine. 

And I know it will help if I exercise. 

So if I exercise at home (which is really hard for me) I try to do it when Brian is home. 

If I get on the treadmill when he is not here I am usually getting on & off to take care of problems. 

Or.....

 

 I just give Crew the camera and he will stay busy for a few minutes. 

So my question is this: 

Do you exercise?

When do you exercise? 

and are you consistant? 

Well that was a few questions. 

I just need to get it together!

We had a really productive Saturday.
Things got done and crossed off the list.
Things that are usually last to get done.
Like picking weeds and washing the car & truck. Washing the covers on the couch and cleaning underneath the couch. Organizing drawers and seeing what summer clothes I need to buy. Organizing the boys toy closet and getting rid of a big trash bag full of junk.  Changing lightbulbs and then some shopping for some much need church clothes for the 2 big boys.

We did have some time to relax too.
It was a nice productive day.

Oh and this little Greyson Bubba (that is what Crew calls him----so now we all do too.) LOVES him some baths!

March.
I love this time of year.
It always seems like on St. Patrick's Day the weather is starting to get nice.
I know this because it seems like for the last couple years
I have been wearing my green capris.


We do nothing special for this holiday.
I am not a very fun mom.
We do not color our food green.
We do not eat anything special for dinner.
And the boys don't even wear green!
What's up with that?
They think it's ok. and that they won't get pinched.
But I am the only smart one.
Living with these boys I know better.
I know that if I do not wear my green.
They WILL pinch me!!

Nerf Birthday Party

Everyone picked out the guns that they wanted and loaded up on ammo.
Then they picked teams.

I gave them the rules:
1. You can't run through the house.
2. You have to stay out of the street.
3. Don't shoot anyone in the face.




There were hiding/reloading spots in the front and back yard.
They pretty much entertained themselves the whole party.


Even Kim joined in on the action!


I think everyone had a good time. There were a couple issues.
But I think it was because there were so many kids.
At the end....no one wanted it to be over.
Except for me!

Tanner turned nine!
I got him out of school early today.
We enjoyed lunch at Cici's. He is always asking to eat there.
Then I surprised him and took him to the mall.
He got to pick out a new deck for his skateboard.
I think he told me thank you at least 10 times before we left the mall.
He was so happy!

Then later that night we went and picked up Kyle. He was going to spend the night.
They played Mario Kart (another one of Tanner's presents) and then helped Brian set up some forts/hiding spots for the nerf party.
These boys stayed up really late and then were up at 6am.
They kept looking at the clock all morning wondering what time the other boys will be here so the war can start!

3.6.2010

On this day....


*I turned 34.
When I woke up the boys were excited to give me their cards. They were decorated so cute. And they were so proud. They were excited to give me my present too. (whitening gel) Even though they didn't know what it was.

I got ready for the day & went to meet up with Jen. It was nice to sit and relax. Oh and get a manicure and pedicure. I love that girl!

I went home to get Greyson. Brian took the other boys to the unlv basketball game. I went to Target. Only bought stuff for myself. A book and a shirt and pajama pants that were on clearance.


*Carson lost his first two teeth with the help from grandpa Paul. Grandpa and Nana Jean came over to babysit and when Carson showed him is wiggly tooth.....well you can probably guess what happened. And he didn't even cry! The tooth fairy brought him $5.00. He was pretty excited. Now he sounds so cute when he talks. He kinda has a little whistle.


*Then I got to go out to dinner with some of my favorite people! :) at Cheesecake Factory.

*Thanks everyone for a nice day! For all the cards, gifts, texts, phone calls and facebook messages. It is nice to feel loved!

2 MONTHS

where does the time go?
you are already 2 months old.
I keep thinking....I know you are my last baby.
I want to remember this time.
I want to cuddle and hold you while you will let me.
I really don't want you to get bigger.
I want you to stay a baby.

You are already 13.8lbs.
You hold your head up so good.
You like to sleep on your tummy.
You are only waking up a couple times during the night. I like that!
You are such a good eater. You always think that you are hungry.
You have started sucking on your blanket or hands looking for something to eat.
You have started smiling. And it is so adorable. Those dimples are so stinking cute!
You will stop eating if you hear my voice. Then you try to talk to me.
I love how you look at me when you are eating.
You are just so cute right now.


I love you.


Just please don't grow up too fast.
