FINALLY!!!

Ok, Ok, No excuses...I am a terrible blogger! Somehow, it's already almost August...I am already in my Third trimester (where did the second one go- you know the one where you start to get your energy back, your not TOO HUGE yet, and life is good for a little while, yea- no where to be found...I went from puking to huge in one day...)Dave, Austin, Cade had birthdays, We went to San Diego with Dave for 2 1/2 weeks, and I finally had some time to get started on baby's room....
here's the update...

I am a HUGE fan of Sea world...no longer is Disney Land the greatest/happiest place on earth! It's all sea world! It's so fun and relaxing! The boys loved it! Some of our favorites were the walrus (he did his own private show for us...right by the glass where we were standing- Dax thought he was going to break through the glass and eat him, but other than that it was pretty amazing! the Shamu show of course, Touching the sting rays- not me or dax, but austin and cade loved it!, Playing in the kiddie land, and the firework show...so fun!




We had this amazing park right by our hotel...the boys decided to name it. Austin called it the "beach park" and cade called it the dinosaur park...they had four different playgrounds and then a nice beach right behind it...we spent A LOT of days at this beach park. My favorite thing about this extended trip was the time I got to really spend with my boys! We had to stay busy because being trapped in a two bed room apartment, can drive three boys crazy (or their mother at least!) I loved having no responsibilities, but them! What a fun way to start off the summer...









Dax is growing like a weed! He is no longer a baby! He loves to run with the big boys and has learned to scream and tease just like them! Ever since we got home from California he likes to play this game where he gets his suitcase, shoes and whatever else he needs and then he goes on a "trip"...he gives me a hug and kiss and says "bye" until I say goodbye back, and then he walks out the front door for about 30 seconds, then he comes back in and runs to me, "I'm back!"...I love the loves..

One night Dave and I were laying in bed, and the boys were out watching a movie...I realized Dax was being very quite and when I went to check on him I found a lovely drawing all over the wall in black magic marker! He was so proud of his drawing and so excited that I came to see it! Looks like I will be painting more than just the babies room!





Cade turned 5 in June!! Really, 5?? We love our Cade so much! He has such a sweet heart and such a passion for life! He is so athletic and he loves to play rough. Our family would not be the same without his spunk and attitude...we love you cade! Happy fifth!!



Austin turned 7 this year! both boys got pretty jipped with birthdays this year, but we'll make up for it next year! Austin is following in his dad's footsteps more than we realize- he has turned into quite the teaser!But for the most part he is a great big brother and big help!
He played machine pitch baseball this year, and he's still trying to decide how much he likes it! He was a star on their soccer team and still talks about his AMAZING left footed goal that won the game for their team!
He finally lost his first tooth and it looks like a few others will be following soon...our tooth fairy better start saving her money!


Dave turned 30 this year!! AHHH! thirty used to be so old and now I can't believe I'm married to one! :) ha ha. I almost pulled off a surprise birthday party (which is amazing, because he usually figures out any surprise I try to do) I invited some friends over and we had dinner, the boys golfed an 18 hole putting course (in the pouring rain, while the girls went and got ice-cream) and then of course the boys had to play the wii...
I love you babe...Happy 30th...maybe I'll pull of the surprise when you turn 50!
