Just Some Pictures

It's about time. We really haven't been up to all that much since the new year.

Unfortunately we've had lots of health stuff that we're hoping were finally on the mend from.

However I just wanted to post a few pictures to remind me that the good days have existed :)

Fun with Skateboarding. Coby just recently finished lessons. He really enjoyed it.

This little lady and I have been enjoying the 75+ degree weather.

These two adorable boys are clearly in need of a haircut.

Cali's Binki and Blanket. Her best friends (maybe I should find her some that talk back?)

My Birthday Celebration. Grimaldi's for dinner and a 4 Gallon Tub of Cotton Candy Ice Cream!

(You can't knock it til you've tried it!)

This handsome fella decided to sport a stash.

I didn't mind it so much but it's gone now.

This is the way we brought in the New Year!

My brother in law took this rad picture of Christopher

attempting to jump over some firework due to a dare;

If you know Christopher he jumps over anything, anywhere

so it was a given that he was going to take it.

Christopher ended up slipping on some wet leaves

and that's where this fantastic shot comes into play.

Amazingly he didn't get a scratch!

Truly, Truly, Truly Outrageous!

Do you remember this cartoon? I used to watch this every Saturday morning (through lots of fuzz; our reception was terrible) in 4th grade!
This summer I found it on the HUB channel and had to show Cali. She LOVE's to rock out and this is totally up her alley. It's filled with music video's and we dance around like crazy, bustin out our best ever 80's moves.

I Look Weird

Well K finally lost one of his two very loose front teeth. They have been wiggly for forever! He came into me today as I was sitting at the computer and pointed out that his tooth was getting looser. I pointed out to him that it was dangling by a thread. He then promptly closed his mouth as tight as he could so I wouldn't pull it out.
Now, let me tell you it has been this way with every single one of his teeth that has come out. I haven't pushed him once to let me pull them,
but yet he acts like I've held him down and yanked everyone of them out--not true
(I did do that with Coby a couple of times though : /maybe he was watching??)

Anyways I talked him into sitting on my lap to let me check it out.
With his permission I literally (said like Rob Lowe's character on Parks & Rec)

took it out with no effort.
He ran to the mirror checked himself out, and replied, "I look weird."
What a boy!

Flag Football

The boys have been doing Flag Football this winter and LOVING it! When it came to signing them up Keenan's only request was to do something where he could run--and run he has! He's earned the nickname "Thunder" on the team. Not to toot my own child's horn, but he is super fast. I'm excited to put him in Track this spring :)

I only have pictures of Keenan, because some other awesome Mom on the team actually brought a camera--I'm not so good with the picture taking.

Coby's experience has been a bit different than Keenan's. We signed him up with hopes that he would end up on a team with his buddies, but much to our shigrin, he was too old and ended up on a kind of "catch all" team. They lost their first game by a ton, and the 4 following were not much better. However, last week they played the team they had lost to the first week and won by 3 touchdowns! They were so excited. I love having my boys in sports!

Muffin

Keenan said this to me the other day,

"Someday when I get married and have a wife and baby I'm going to call her muffin."

I'm not sure if he meant that he was going to call his wife muffin or the baby. Only time will tell. I love that kid :)

Family Pictures

Here are some pictures from our family photo shoot this year. I wanted a bit of an urban feel, so we headed to downtown Mesa to the Mesa Arts Center. My 14 year old niece Megan took them and I think she did a fantastic job! Cali was a bit of a nightmare, but I was happy to get some new pictures to hang on our walls :)

**please ingnore my odd posture in this photo. I had to put it on here, because I think everyone else looks so cute...especially Keenan with his arm around Cali :)

A Shout Out to my Peeps!
