So Cal!!!!

Cali was so much fun! I love my fam and it was so good that we could all get together and finally have an awesome vaca it gets so crazy now that most of us are married with kids. Anyways the pic above is of Balboa Park its cool its not actually a park but a bunch of different muesems, we only went to the train one because of brighton and his cute cousin zach. But its all these old buildings with way cool architecture--definetely recommend to anyone.

Found this way cool mexican restaurant and it was so yummy. Thanks again Dad. Oh above that is my little bro jesse and my sis des with her husband scott. My sister is so cute she is 7 months pregnant and they are having a boy yay!

We went to the beach so much. I was worried because most of you who know brighton know that he is crazy and has now fear when it comes to water. Well this was no different but he did not like the salt water on his face so we were lucky on that one.

Falling asleep in church

Okay I just wish I would have had at least my phone -so I could take a picture- with me today at church. Normally sacrament meeting which is last is a total struggle to keep my kids quiet. Well I came in after I got ezra asleep and Brighton was just playing under the bench with his cars, something he always does, but usually he moves onto trying to escape from us underneath the benches. Well this week matt turns to me and says bri is totally asleep. Oh yea that kid can sleep through anything and he did. He was on his stomach totally asleep. Now here is the greatest thing we picked him up put him in the car, drove home, and put him on the couch and he still slept for another hour. All while I made dinner. I guess all we need to do from now on to keep our kids from being noisy in church is run them ragged all weekend long. Who would have thought?

New Haircut!

From this to that..

Oh yea, this little boy defintely needed a haircut and he got it! Luckily he sat still for me which is usually not the case. But I just stuck on his fav movie--toy story 2 for right now--- and he was in the zone.
I know I missed a spot right there on the side, if you can see that little curl. In fact I am going to go fix that right now.

Sometimes its just sad to read the news

I need to change the homepage for my internet. Every single time I open it a headline catches my eye and I have a hard time not reading some things, but honestly some articles I wish I never would have seen. I am not going to say what the one today was about but it broke my heart and as I see that there is so much bad in the world I am hopeful and look towards the good. I think its good to know that this is reality and that bad things happen but I need to look forward with hope and resolve that we are going to do better and we will make this world a better place! Sorry guys kind of a depressing post, I am going to go clean and hopefully I will have time to post later today of something fun.

Brighton keeps me on my toes!

Before & After

Do ya ever have those days where it seems no matter what you do your kids are one step ahead of you? This happened in a matter of minutes with brighton after I had sprayed of our back porch area. Rather than be mad(which I wanted too) I had to laugh and take some pics.

He literally was covered in mud. I don't always find all the crazy things he does so funny though, with the pics above he ripped all the petals off my vlowers. Really where does he get these crazy ideas?

ohh gut bomb--

So I am sitting here at six in the morning blogging and why might I be doing this at such an unsightly hour? At eight last night I got a craving for a way yummy dessert at chilis and some of their appetizers. So Matt got takeout and of course I ate way too much we got the chicken fingers and artichoke dip, it was soo good but way greasy and I really never eat greasy food so when I do I get so sick. Seriously I feel like I am going to throw up, I hate this.
On a way different note I trying to think of cute fathers day gifts for matt to do with my kids and any ideas would greatly be appreciated!

Fixed.

Well as much as I tried I could not add my friends and music back with the old template. So I will be going back to the old one until I can figure it out. On another note okay so I loved Kristins and Jennas quirks, so I am going to copy them with some weird quirks of my own that make me just me.
1. After I wash my hands I cannot touch anything until I put lotion on them. Seriously its almost like nails scratching on a chalkboard to me.
2. I love, love love to workout. Any type of workout too. Its not as much to stay in shape as much as it is a mental release for me. My goal one day is too compete in a triathalon, but I need a lot more time and money to be able to do that.
3. Traveling is one of the coolest things to do. I would seriously have a smaller house and older cars if I could travel all the time. I know its not possible with small kids--trust me we have tried-- so until then I will just dream and hopefully when the kids are a little older we can make those dreams reality.
4. I am the worst backseat driver. It drives matt crazy, so I tell well then let me drive and that never flys.
5. I used to cliff jump off 50 foot cliffs in college, and now I am the biggest wuss. Two summers ago I tried to jump off just a 30 foot and almost couldn't go through with it.
6. I want to be a gardener and have an awesome vegetable garden and lots of flowers. I hope this will be the summer where I can finally do that but I have no idea where to start.
There is tons more but I have yardwork to do so enjoy everyone!
