Happy Easter

We celebrated Easter yesterday, we went to an egg hunt and had lunch in Folsom with some friends. Then we and early dinner with all of Justins family at Nana and Papas the kids found their eggs, we had dinner and celebrated Austins 10th Birthday wow how time flys by i remember when he was Bridgitts age 4. Parker had so much fun with the cake he put his fingers in the frosting, i took his white shirt off and then he was rubbing it all over his belly. He had a fun day looking for eggs. Bridgitt was so happy to see Grandma and Popo (Justins parents) that she went home with them yesterday and wont be home till Tuesday, i am not sure what i am going to do with myself, and i didn't even think about how long she was going to be gone till i started to explain to her that she was going to be gone for a while and then i started to count the nights and i got to three and then it hit me but she insisted that she was going to be fine she was just going to miss Max (her dog) so she took a picture of her and him. She called this morning and the first thing out of her mouth was "hows Max".

Hope everyone enjoys their day!

Caught in the act...

We were all watching a little bit of a movie before bed but Parker can't sit still for the life of him so he was running all around jumping on us just being crazy. He saw a candle (wasn't lit) but he wanted to blow it out and Justin told him go tell mommy but instead he went to the drawer to get it himself which he wasn't going to get because it wasn't in their but instead he found some scotch tape and was playing with it, then he was quite as a mouse and i knew he was up to something so i walked into the kitchen and this was the damage he did in about a minute flat. So then he showed Bridgitt and daddy while i got the camera cause this is too funny and i asked him what he did and where he got the permanent marker from and he showed me, pulled it out and started at it again. At least it was just a little on his face and not the other way around.

Hot Air Balloon Races

In September we go to Reno, get up early around 4 am to watch "dawn patrol" its when the balloons lights up the kids really enjoy it then as the sun comes up they set for more to go up so about 100 are in the sky its fun to watch how they go up and everything that goes into it. We didn't go last year because Parker was too little. This year our friends Angie, Nickolas, Scott and his daughter joined us. Then we we start to get hungry we go eat breakfast.

Jelly Belly Factory

On our way to Danny and Meghans we stoped by the Jelly belly Factory. We took the tour to see how they make them, what happens to the belly flops, taste all the new flavors and for lunch we had jelly belly shaped pizza the kids had a blast.

Labor Day Weekend

We went to Danny and Meghans house (Justins brother) in Los Gaotos. When we went we thought we would get a little break from our 110 degree weather but it was 100 their so we spent alot of our time at their pool and Capitola beach. We rode a steam train at Roaring Camp railroads in Felton through the redwoods and because it was labor day weekend they had a bank robber skit it was really neat. The kids enjoyed the beach, we were playing near the ocean and a big wave slashed us and Bridgitt went running it was funny and Justin had fun body surfing.

1st Day of School

Bridgitt on her first day of preschool. She was very ready and very excited to see her new school and meet, teacher sherry. She goes two days a week tuesday and friday from 8:30-11:15 and constally asking if its school tomorrrow. She is always bringing really neat art work home.

Goodbye Mullet!

Parker had his first haircut! He did such a great job, he liked her combing his hair, thought the buzzing or the clippers was interesting and he was a little upset when we had to hold his head so she could cut the back along his neck. Best of all she gave him a blue sucker after so his face mouth and hands were all blue lol. After seeing him with his new do, i asked myself why didn't we do this before he looks like a little boy now, i guess we are so use to having a girl and never having to take her to get her haircut that young.

The next day.

Hes in love......

with his Binky's. We had lost them all but 1 so today we went to the store to get some new ones. I opened them for him when we got home he was so happy and couldn't decide which one he wanted so he had to have both in (or near) his mouth.

Bowling....

With my two little brothers, its funny how they are my little brother but for some reason i am the little one lol. My youngest Ryan (on the right) is moving back to Washington to live with his dad and i haven't spent anytime with him sense he has been here or Rodney lately so i figured we would go bowling (about the only thing you can do in Fernley NV). We had so much fun Rodney and i were on fire the first game but the second game Ryan came back around and beat both of us, then we had lunch. Something i wish we would of done more of spent time together. Its crazy how life gets busy and some things you take for granite, and it takes you to lose something to learn your lesson.
