Update!

We'll it's been a while since I last updated this fabulous blog, and a lot of time has passed. We spent our summer trying to beat the heat swimming at the club, finally took a vacation, and the kids are now in their 4th week of school.

San Diego was a blast. Originally we were suppose to go with Christopher's family, but ended up getting sick...total bummer. For whatever reason we have really struggled with our health this year...that's another story for another day:) We didn't think we were going to get to get out of this heat, but Christopher's parents were kind enough to treat us to a long weekend at the beach. It was just our little family. We had so much fun seeing Adam & Jamie, eating at our favorite burger place in La Jolla, going to the zoo, digging in the sand, and playing in the ocean. We even got to see a ton of leopard sharks in the water. FYI a little freaky to be only 5 feet away from any ocean animal with the word shark in its name, but relieved to find out they only eat algae and their teeth are like sand paper! I don't know if it was the twinkle in Christopher's eye, but we even got lucky enough to score a beach front room for the same price! SCORE. I love the ocean!

"Da, Da"

I just had to share her latest. She's been saying it for about a month now, but she finally did it on demand last night. I love her little talking voice!

4 YEAR OLD BOY WONDER

KEENAN HAS DONE IT ONCE AGAIN! LOVE THIS KID. THIS IS HIM DANCING & LIP-SINGING TO HIS NEW FAVORITE SONG FROM THE DISNEY MANIA 6 CD! PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS ALSO HIS NEW FAVORITE WAY TO WEAR HIS SHIRTS...YA LIKE IT? HE CALLS THEM HIS JACKETS! THIS IS TRUE ENTERTAINMENT.

Funny Story

One of my friends gave me this adorable pink bikini for Cali, and I just had to try it on her. We thought she looked so cute in it, and apparently Keenan thought the bikini was so cute. As I was taking it off of her he asked if he could wear it. He loves accessories, so I put the top around his neck like a necklace, he wore it for a bit and then I put it in the laundry.

The next day, I decided I needed to lay down while Cali was taking her nap. I set Keenan up with a snack and a show, and went to my room to lay down. Shortly after he came in asking about Cali's swimming suit. I told him it was in the laundry, and went back to sleep. Later the doorbell rang and I got up to see who it was. Keenan was skipping along behind me, as I went to the door. I looked out the peep hole and it was the UPS guy. He had left something and was on his way back to his truck. I opened the door, waved to the guy and picked up my package. As i turned around this is what I saw.......

(He's not mad that I'm taking the picture, he's mad because I suggested he take it off so he wouldn't stretch it out!)

I about died laughing. Not only had he fished the top out of the laundry basket, but he had put the bottoms on too! The only thing he ask was, "Mom, am I are awesome?" I answered with a definite YES! I couldn't believe that my 4 year old boy fit himself into a 3-6 month size pink bikini. He wouldn't take the thing off for the entire day. He is so quirky sometimes. I asked him why he wouldn't take it off, and he said "befauze, I like it!" Eventually I tricked him into taking it off and hid it. For whatever reason, I had these thoughts of him going through his sisters underwear drawer later in life to steal her panties! Let's hope not.

They'll Dance to Anything!

My kids will dance to anything. They love to shake it. I have so many video's of them dancing, but I love this one because they're dancing to the opening credits of a movie. It's funny to me because I'm their mom, but I think you'll find it funny too. I love it!

Just a few pictures

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything. I just havn't taken the time to download any new pictures. My friend Suni is always on me about getting pictures up, and I told her I had pictures, but I just don't havet the time to sit down at the computer and think of something fun to write about each one. She said just put them on there, so that's what I'm doing! These are just some fun pictures we've taken lately of the boys and ourselves with ms. cali.

OUR FIRST PET & SPRING BREAK

OUR 2 1/2 WEEK SPRING BREAK HAS COME TO AN END. WE ENJOYED THE PARK WITH OUR FRIENDS, PLANTING OUR GARDEN, WORKING IN THE YARD, RIDING BIKES, PLAYING THE Wii, GOING TO THE TRAIN PARK, EATING LOTS OF ICE CREAM, AND GETTING OUR FIRST PET!

WE'VE HAD A GREAT TIME DURING OUR SPRING BREAK. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT THING THAT HAPPENED IS, WE HAVE A NEW ADDITION. IT'S BABY BLACK GREEK TORTOISE THAT WE'VE NAMED MR. T. HE IS SO AWESOME! HE IS CURRENTLY LIVING IN THE BOYS ROOM, BUT IN ABOUT A YEAR WE WILL MOVE HIM OUT TO THE BACKYARD. HE LOVES THE HEAT! HE IS ONE OF THE SMALLER SPECIES OF TORTOISES SO HE'LL GROW TO BE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A TEA CUP SAUCER. I DIDN'T GROW UP WITH PETS, SO HE'S A GOOD FIRST TIME PET. IT'S FUN TO TAKE HIM OUT AND WATCH HIM CRUISE IN THE BACK YARD.

IT'S BEEN GREAT HAVING MY COBY HOME FOR SO LONG. I CAN'T BELIEVE SUMMER BREAK IS AROUND THE CORNER, AND HE'LL SOON BE A 2ND GRADER! I DON'T KNOW WHAT KEENAN'S GOING TO DO WHEN HE GOES BACK TO SCHOOL TOMORROW. I LOVE THESE LONG BREAKS!
