4th of July

This weekend we went camping with The Morgan's. We had so much fun! It was all about celebrating America, though!

We went camping at our favorite camping place...Rancho California RV Resort! What a wonderful place that is with pools and lots of green grass to run around in!

We also had plenty of food, including donuts to eat!

Mike and Leslie had bought a $5 slip and slide and it kept the 4 boys busy all weekend! They ran through the water had fun and kept entertained! Here are some goofy pictures of that!

Another highlight was the golf cart parade that went through the park on Sunday afternoon. All the boy were very into this parade. It was very fun and a good way to spend the afternoon!

Chase, Cody and Cash waving to the parade goers!

We differently had a fun and great weekend!

Memorial Day Camping

This last weekend we went camping at Rancho California RV Resort. The most perfect camping place that we have around here. It is only about an hour drive from us...so beautiful!!

We went with The Greens, and The Morgans, we had a total of 6 kids under the age of 4 1/2. Everyone got along perfect with no problems. It made for a very relaxing weekend with some great friends.

One of the major reasons behind this great campground is the green grass for ever. It is so pretty coming from someone that can't keep grass growing in her yard. We played a bunch of kickball and golf on this great grass. Ran around and burnt a lot of energy!

We also rode our bikes up and down the street right in front of our motorhomes. The kids did a wonderful job of pulling over to the side when a golf cart or other people on bikes would get close.

We also rode our bikes around the campground a few times during the long weekend. It was a great way to spend the weekend!


Of course, we blow'd bubbles, colored, and ate!! We had a great weekend and can't wait to go back again!!

Makes My Monday & Magic Marker Monday

We had a wonderful and relaxing Mother's Day yesterday. Chase and Cody made at school teapots and gave me a cup of tea to go with it. It was very sweet with Chase saying that I can can Sweet tea with him! He was so excited about this!

The poems are very sweet and can't wait to enjoy my cup of sweet tea!

They also gave me a cup of flowers! They are very pretty and sitting on my window seal in the kitchen!We will transfer them into a bigger pot outside after I get one at the store. I can't wait to watch them grow!

We had some delicious food also yesterday for brunch that I cooked.

Found this delicious french toast recipe off of food network - Baked French Toast with Blueberries.

Turned out very good and with lots of flavor.

With delicious chocolate strawberries and peanut butter and chocolate pie we had a great Sunday with family and friends!

Baby Picture Sunday

I Love looking through the photo's and finding the perfect picture for the theme!





This week's theme is ARMY CRAWL. Neither one was really a army crawler, that I can remember, not for any length of time, but I found this cute picture of Chase and he was in the position of a army crawl and I am sure that he was scooting a little bit on that blanket!

Chase 5 1/2 months

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy New Years

Happy New Years Eve!!

Are you going to make it to New Years Eve?

It's still up in the air to see if I do...I will report back to you when I get back.

Christmas Decorations Tour 2009

My good blogging pal, Annie, is hosting a Christmas Decorations Tour of everyones house. I can't wait to play along!

Here is our stockings hung with care, in hopes of Saint Nick soon will be here.

The half wall that separates the office and the living room is decorated with lights and Christmas goodies.

In the china hatch, I have the Nativity scene and my light up Christmas tree. I put this stuff in here so little hands wouldn't touch them!

We still haven't found the perfect Christmas tree and probably do it sometime this week so we can have it for this next weekend to decorate it.

I need to take pictures of the outside lights. We have so many outside lights on the house! I will post those pictures tonight as long as it's not raining for me to take the pictures!

I have this snowman outside the door of the house. Tried to take picture of the snowman and the boys but the snowman was in no mood to have his picture taken! This was the best picture of the 6-7 pictures that I took

Happy Labor Day

On our way home from a great weekend.

Stay tuned for the winner of the two fall wreaths!

Everyone have a great day!

Makes My Monday

We had one busy, busy weekend. I will start at Friday, both Steve and I were off work we met some friends down by Mission Bay and off we went on another bike ride. This time we had the kids in a trailer behind Steve's bike. They had so much fun in the trailer. They were able to see a lot of water and boats, some fish and birds. (I didn't get any pictures of them in the trailer or us on the bike trail, I will next time.) The weather was perfect when we started out our ride but the weather soon turned very cold and windy while trying to eat dinner. We still had a great time. By the time we got back over to our vehicles it was perfect timing for the Friday night viewing of the fireworks, we sat on the beach and watched.

Cody kept telling Steve that the fireworks looked like pizza's! He really liked the big boom fireworks!

Chase really liked the fireworks, he was so memorized that he couldn't say anything!

It was a beautiful display of fireworks. The city did a great job.

On Saturday, we went to my cousins parents house for a awesome BBQ and pool party. Chase and Cody have some how turned into fishes once we arrived. They stayed in the pool (or spa) for 5 hours straight. They loved it.

They both went down the water slide with dad. Cody even did it by himself!

Cody with daddy in the water slide.

Chase and Daddy going down the water slide.

We had some great food and fabulous friends to spend the holiday with, it was a great time. When we left the party, the boys were asleep in about 10 minutes.

For this Makes my Monday!

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day, Steve!

Thanks for being a great dad!

Thanks for all the fun stuff you teach us!

Today, we are having Chase and Cody's Grandpa and Grandma and Cousin Christina up for some lunch to celebrate the day.

Chase helped me pick out our menu. Steve asked his what he wanted to at for lunch (tomorrow) with Steak (we are actually having Tri-Tip, but to him it's Steak)...

Chase's reply: Salad, then after thinking again said applesauce, we asked him anything else he said Gatoraide, of course we need something to drink, and then he said Corn. I told him that he had just completed my menu for lunch - we are also having this really delicious chocolate cake.

Happy Mother's Day

This day is very bittersweet for me. I lost my mom 9 years ago and I wish she was here with me everyday since then. So I found this poem and I am going to dedicate it to her:

MOTHER’S DAY by Del "Abe" Jones

Another year without Mom

And She’s surely missed, a lot

The years pass to ease the pain

Plus, memories of Her, I’ve got.

There’s no time like the present

To tell your Mother, "You're the best!"

For, too soon, before you know it

She too, may be laid to Rest.

Time is not a friend to us

Or to those Moms, we Love

And, it’s so hard to speak to them

When, they’re somewhere up above.

So, this Mother’s Day, take some time

To reflect, tell Mom, “I love you!”

For some day, She won’t be there

To do what, only Moms can do.

Don’t wait until it’s too late

For, you know, we never know

When She might be taken from us

Then, it’s too late, to tell Her so.

Today, I am spending it with family, my grandmother (which is like a mother to me), my mother-in-law (which is the greatest mother-in-law that I could ask for) and the most wonderful Grammy! We will be having brunch with good food and lots to drink!

Here's to you having a great Mother's Day!

I hope everyone has a great Mother's Day!

Green Pictures

Pictures from yesterday for St. Patricks Day. Chase and Cody had so much at school today. They had an Irish dancer come to their school and dance. They painted t-shirts with their hand prints. I will post pictures of them later. Chase had already changed out of his green shirt but with his hat and necklace on he was looking good.

Cody and his green shirt and straw cup that they colored for St. Patty's Day.

Baby Picture Sunday - Go Green

These picture were taken a couple of weeks before St Patty's day but they were the boys official 9 month picture. Their shirts say "My 1st St. Patricks Day". This photo shoot is one that I will always remember. It was so much fun and Chase just wanted to keep! What a great age they were then and what fun!
