First day of school!! My big Second Grader!! He loves his teacher and he loves all the new friends he's met! He is an awesome reader and kicking butt in soccer!

My Buzz Light Year addict! He is all buzz... and potty trained! My quickest boy yet! He is my little buddy and getting so big!

First day of preschool! He is doing a gymnastics/tumbling class that he absolutly LOVES and he begs everyday for me to sign him up for "kung fu"...maybe next year!

and last but not least...we finally finished our backyard...two years in the making, but the grass is awesome and the boys LOVE it! We set our tramp up and dax gets a good hour at least everyday of jumping time.

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!

april...

For some reason my computer won't let me post any pics, So beware that this is lengthy and boring with no pics....hopefully pics to come soon.

So besides april being my "birthday month"...April is THE best month ever...at least this year! We have been busy!

Dave, Austin, Cade and I spent a few days in California. Me and the boys caught a flight out on Saturday night and spent the night with my cousin Ashlee- it was so fun to get to know her CUTE AS HECK girls and spend some time with her! Then Dave met up with us on Sunday and we drove to our Hotel near Disneyland- we hung out at the hotel and watched the fireworks as we lay in bed...they were awesome! They kept going on and on and on- I could have watched them all night! (but I LOVE fireworks)
The next morning we went to Disneyland- we spent the day running from ride to ride- and I realized that One day is just not enough time for Disneyland.
A few highlights...
Watching my boys fight Darth Vader and Darth Mal(spelling?)at the star wars training show.
Cade holding on to my arm SO TIGHT on the Pirate Ride
The Buzz Light Year ride was my FAV, by far!

One of Austin's best friends just happened to be at Disney the same day- So we met up for some rides and yummy dinner at ESPN- and of course we made it to the Lego store and didn't leave empty handed...
That night we drove to San Diego- Our hotel room was awesome, the boys had their own room with bunkbeds- so we all slept in until 10:00 and then we drove dave to work around 11:00.
The boys and I spent some time at the pool- (never enough time if you ask me) and then we wasted some time shopping until Daddy was done working.

We made it to a San Diego Padres Baseball game- they played the Giants, We made it early to the game and Austin was sportin' his Giants shirt and hat, and one of the players threw him a baseball...it made his whole day! Cade fell asleep during the game, but it was actually really fun! Then we drove back up to Long beach that night to catch an EARLY flight the next morning. (poor dave had to drive us back and forth every night while we slept peacefully...sorry honey!)

Dax definitely was missed- but it was really fun to have some one-on-one time with the big boys.
Next time I will NOT be pregnant, and we WILL stay at Disney for at least 2 or 3 days!

After our quick trip to Cali we came home and got to celebrate my birthday- Dave spoiled me and surprised me and got me a road bike that I have Begging for! I am so excited to get out and ride!

And last but not least we just found out that baby number four is a girl...I still don't believe it, and I'm not sure I will until I see her, but none-the-less we are excited and I can't wait to get going on a room!!
