Summer nights

A few weeks ago we had a heat spell. So that meant warm nights...ahhh..I love it!! These were taken around 7:00, it was still about 80 outside..L-O-V-E IT!! The kids enjoyed their first taste of fudgsicle's! They weren't too thrilled with them after about 3 minutes, but they loved them for 3 minutes!!

Shad noticed Kaihla's tongue was brown, and concluded his was also brown, therefore they kept showing each other their tongues..this was more interesting to them then actually eating the fudgsicles!

UP

Shad's first movie!!!! For Father's Day this year, Sean wanted to take Shad to see a movie. He was so excited to go, not only to see a movie, but he got to skip his nap!! Shad was so good during the movie..watched the whole thing, and loved it!!! He still talks about how he went to the movies and didn't have to nap! Watching the movie with his popcorn!

He drank that whole ICEE!!! and ate a bunch of popcorn..

Mmmmm..movie popcorn!!

Shad's suprise

Shad had a problem of getting into the DVD's whenever he wanted. This has now become Kaihla's problem, but that's another story. Well, he decided (on his own) that he wanted to watch Monsters Inc. He got it out and started to take the DVD out of the case..well apparently it was in there a little more than he thought, and he broke the DVD right in half. He was devastated. Not only was he in trouble for getting the movie by himself and taking it out (which he knows he's not suppose to do) But he was SO sad that he wouldn't be able to watch the movie. Later that night when Sean got home, I had Shad tell him the whole story. Shad wasn't happy about re-living it, but he finally told Sean the story of what happened, and said that we could use his money from his piggy bank to buy a new one!! I thought that was the sweetest gesture ever! The next day Sean was talking to his mom, and told her the story...She also thought that was the sweetest thing ever and surprised Shad by sending him not one, but 2 movies in the mail. A new Monsters Inc. and a cool Thomas movie where he get's lost in the forrest! Shad was SO,SO,SO excited when he opened his package!! I had to take some pictures! Checkin' them out...

YAY! New movies!! (Oh, ya, and she also sent Kaihla a movie..Balto..she is in love with her Nana's dog, Skye ( a Huskie)!! So she wasn't left out either :-)

Laughing so hard because he was so excited!!

Rolling on the ground with movies in hand, laughing his head off!!! Thanks Nana..awesome surprise!!

Spa Day

I won a free spa day at the Sonoma Fairmont a couple months ago! It included brunch, a 1-hour massage, $75 food and beverage credit at the poolside grill, and use of all the facilities. I took 2 of my friends and we had an awesome day at the spa!! The brunch was amazing..always nice to stuff your face, then spend the rest of the day in a bathing suit! HA!

Tasha, Lisa and me in our cute robes getting ready to try and find a spot by the pool!

Thanks girls for making it such a great day! You're the best!!

Kelli's Bday

A night on the town!! Woo Hoo!!! My friend Kelli celebrated her birthday with wine tasting and a night out in Sonoma! I had so much fun!!! We went wine tasting at Cornerstone Gardens in Sonoma, then had dinner & drinks. I was able to meet some of her friends who I loved! and it was a much needed night out! Thanks for having a birthday Kelli!!!

This huge chair was at the entrance to Cornerstone Gardens...fun picture spot!

Father's Day

Father's Day 2009 was really nice! Sean took Shad to his first movie, UP. I'll post pictures of that later. Then we went to my grandma's house for dinner! Sean is the best Dad I ever could have imagined. Our kids are so lucky to have a father like him..and I'm lucky to have a great husband! Happy Father's Day!! Daddy with his kiddos

What every father should be doing on Father's Day, right?!

Opening his present that Shad made for him at school.

We loved the wrapping paper, a little saw with his hand print, and it said "you're the best dad I ever saw"

Morning hugs from Kai Kai

Kaihla turnes 2!!

Kaihla had her 2nd birthday on June 7th. We celebrated her birthday the day before. I let her choose her theme this year too! We went to Partytime and I narrowed it down to a few she showed interest in..she choose Hello Kitty!! My friend Kirstin made her the most amazing cake! A huge Hello Kitty! The ears were rice crispy treats, and the head was chocolate! SO YUMMY! and looked AMAZING! We rented a huge jumpy house with a slide because Kaihla loves jumpy houses, got a bunch of bubbles, and had wonderful weather, friends and family! Thank you to everyone who helped make her day so special! Kaihla blowing out the candles!

Kaihla and mommy at the end of the party...she had SO much fun!

This cake is all for me??!?!?! Oh and Kirstin also made little mini-cupcakes for the kids :-)

Kaihla loves the "Happy Birthday" song!

Present time! She wore that crown almost the whole day! I was really surprised!

Sean, Haidyn and Conrad going down the slide..Sean had just as much fun as the kids in the jumpy/slide!

Bubbles!!

Poor Shad got sick the day of her party. Earlier in the day he had a temp of 103! After his nap that day it went down to 99-100, so we decided to take him..otherwise one of us would have to stay home with him and miss the party! He was fine until about 1 hr into the party..he crashed. This picture was taken in the middle of presents..I can't believe he tried to fall asleep while there was SO much going on!!

Poor baby! Luckily it only lasted a day, and he was pretty much back to normal within a day or so! I feel so bad that he missed on a lot of the fun though.
