CAMP OUT!!!

Our Memorial weekend started out with a camp out. We didn't even have to go very far, just to the backyard. We were going to sleep under the stars until the forecast called for scattered showers and decided a tent would make things better. So I went and bought a tent. Set it up and got out the sleeping bags, pillows, and portable DVD player. We cooked popcorn and roasted marshmallows. It was a great night except I had to hear Curtis snore and Coltin Grind his teeth. (which I didn't even know he did) The kids thought it was awesome!! (mom and dad had to take a nap later)

It was a lot of fun. I think next time I am splurging for an air mattress!!

Preschool Graduation!!!

This is my HANDSOME Preschool Graduate!

Last night Conner had his preschool graduation from Sunshine Square. A couple of days before I took him to the store to pick out a outfit to wear. He did an awesome job picking out the outfit because he was sooo cute! As you can tell I just loved him to death. I could have took a million pictures of him. He was soo adorable!

Check out the shoes!!

He would not wear the dress shoes I picked out. He said they looked ugly. I had bought these shoes the day before. For next year school clothes. He begged and begged. I had Curt put them on and approve them. Curtis said let him wear what he wants. But I will have to admit he looked damn good in them!

Look at the ladies wanting to be by him! Do you blame them!

When the program was over I went to go get Conner from his teacher and this is what I walked up on. He was hugging his teacher. Notice his legs are rapped around her. He lovers her and is going to miss her. It's a good thing that she lives 3 houses away. So we can visit her when ever we want.

Best teacher in the world! Miss Kim!

Our Handsome Graduate! Bring on Kindergarten!!

Thanks everyone who came and saw him graduate!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL!!!

I hope everyone had a great Mothers day. I had a great weekend. Curtis and I went to the Eagles concert on Saturday night at Rio Tinto stadium. The concert was awesome. The kids spent the night at Aunt Jill's. So we had a great night with no kids. To wake up on Mothers day to silence in the house was fabulous. (Thanks Jill)

When we went to pick up the kids from Jill's she told us the funniest story. Yesterday(Saturday) morning Curtis got up early with the boys and left somewhere. I didn't know where at the time, but when they came home Curt said they had went and got some sod from Home Depot to fix some spots in our backyard. Anyways during the day Curt informed me that he went to go to Serenity Day Spa in South Towne Mall to get a present for me for Mothers Day but they were closed. So I could pick something else I wanted. So back to Jill's. Jill asked me what I got for Mothers day and I told her the story and she started to laugh. I said what is so funny. She said she asked the boys that morning what they got me and there response was.

"WE GOT HER SOME GRASS!"

She thought they were kidding but now it makes sense. Curt had told the boys they were going to get a Mothers day present but didn't tell them the place was closed and just went to Home Depot. It was the greatest Mothers day present ever!

Another funny story! Today (Monday) Conner was suppose to dress up as someone you want to be when you grow up. Well if you ask Conner what he wants to be when he grows up he always answers, "I want to be a dad!" (He must think they have it made!!) So this morning I remind him what today is and what do you want to be. He said like always I want to be a dad. So I tell him go and get dressed then like a dad would get dressed. This is what he picked out.

Now the people who really know us will think this is funny. Because Curtis' famous outfit is Levis and a white t-shirt. So Conner being the smart kid thinks that is what dads are suppose to wear. How funny is that!!!

LAST PICTURES FROM TRIP!!!

Misc. pictures I thought were cute from the trip. I tried to find a good picture from everyone that came.

Half of the group (pretty much only the adults and Coltin) made it for the fireworks on Saturday night. I am so glad we stayed and watched they were spectacular.

Goodbye to Disneyland for awhile, I Hope!!!

BROTHER BEAR!!!

In California Adventure they have a Brother Bear show and a mountain retreat with tree houses, caves, log slides, and a big swing. The kids ran around and played while we waited for the show.

The Brother Bear Show Conner got picked out of the audience to come and help blow on the fire to help it get started.

FINALLY!!!! JEDI TRAINING!!!

If you know my boys they have been waiting for this since we told them we were going to Disneyland on Easter Sunday! We made them wait til Saturday (which almost killed Coltin) because we were hitting all the shows today. We got there early so they could be in the front row. They were the 4th kids picked. I was sooo excited for them. When Darth Vader came out of the floor. There faces were priceless!!

Conners face and actions were so hilarious. He was prepping himself to fight Darth Vader.

Curtis missed getting a picture of Colt fighting Darth Maul. Good thing I got it on film. I have never seen the boys so happy! They are FINALLY Jedi Knights!!!

We went and got there pictures taken and there faces put on Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. It is soo cute. Then we bought them double sided light sabers and shirts that say they completed Jedi Training. Now our Disneyland Trip was complete of things we were to accomplish!

California Adventure!!!

We started out Friday morning to California Adventure. Which Coltin was sooo excited to be able to ride big kid rides and as he put it "No More Baby Rides!!" We also got to see so many characters. My boys would only go see the cool characters. I had to make them stand in line for Minnie Mouse for me!

The boys wanted there faces painted. Coltin picked his because he thought it was Darth Maul, but really it was just a tribal design. It still looked cool. It lasted about 2 hours then he started to lick his hand and rub it off. Which would have been fine if we weren't in line with characters trying to take pictures. So if you look closely. In all the character pictures it is slowly going away.

Conners lasted all day. When he fell asleep that night it was still on. What a freakin cutie!!!

Today was a long day and by the end this is how we were walking around. It's a good thing they like each other sometimes. We got to ride so many rides. Coltin got to ride the Screamin roller coaster 4 times (which was his favorite ride). Then we went on the Tower of Terror. Conner even got to ride that one and he thought it was awesome (shocking). We went on Big Bear rapids and got drenched. The new Toy Story ride was Conners favorite ride. What a fabulous day!!!
