Back in the day

Instead of the microwave popcorn my kids love the old school popcorn machine. They all stare at it with excitement as each kernel pops! I don't think it taste as good, but they seem to love it. Its almost become a nightly event.

Summer Cleaning!

I just love it when the kids are excited to help out. I can ask for help with cleaning inside the house and it lasts maybe 2 min and then they have suddenly disappeared, but boy when you need stuff done outside no matter what it is their happy and willing.

Happy Fathers Day!!

For Fathers Day we went to my sister, Diana's house. The kids had so much fun swimming and eating and just spending time with family. My nephew, Everet took Joseph on a ride..Buckle up!!

Max's 5th birthday!

My oldest is now 5! Boy does time fly. Everyday you feel like your flying, doing this and that and before you know it, he's talking about kindergarten and now hes not wanting kisses in public. He still gets teary eyed when I leave him at school, but only will lean in for a hug, no kiss:( So now I hold him down and give him tons of kisses and he may act like he doesn't like it, but I know he does. The big smile gives it away!We had his preschool party and had a sports pinata. The kids had a great time hitting something as hard as they could!

Go Padres!

Nothing is as cute as little kids in baseball uniforms! Max and his cousin Jacob are both in the Cal Ripken league. Joseph is one of the assistant coaches, which Max loves. He's done great this year, he actually runs after the ball:) His favorite part of the games is batting, just like all the kids. Its fun on Saturdays to go as a family and watch him! GO PADRES!

2 Birthdays!!

The kids birthday was so much fun!! I was kind of worried about combining there birthdays at first, but actually it was easy and fun. We had a big grass area where the kids could run around and it wasn't by the pond so I didn't have to worry about that. It was by a nice swing set and we had a bounce house, bikes and we blew up 25 beach balls which were a hit. We played volleyball and didn't leave until closing. Brody didn't have a nap the entire time and was in the best mood. I was very thankful for that!

Finally Blogging again!!!

Brody LOVES playing in the dirt!

Poor Joey didn't get the right color lolli-pop she wanted!!

Max and Brody relaxing on the sofa

I finally bought a new camera and still getting use to it. These are just some random pictures of the kidos. The weather has been so great outside we've been outside a few hours a day. It just seems that lately my household has been crazy!!! When I'm outside I forget about dishes and laundry, but as soon as I walk in, I feel overloaded. One moment I'm looking at my kids and thinking how sweet and cute they are, then in seconds I'm pulling my hair out as there fighting and screaming! As I'm blogging I'm looking at these pictures and smiling once again thinking how cute they are but their also quiet and sleeping right now-lol
