Pismo Day 1

After a rocky start.... we were half way to Pismo to visit Aunt Dee Dee and Doug got called into work so we had to turn around. Eventually, we made it! The weather was amazing and the kids had a fab time with Aunt Dee Dee, of course.We went to the beach on Friday evening. Landen was a crack up... the water was flippin' freezing, but he was dancing around in his undies. They built a sand castle with Dee Dee, although Landen preferred crushing the sand castle with his feet.

Zoo

We went to the zoo a couple of Fridays ago with a group of friends. Even though it was disgustingly HOT... we had a fabulous time looking at the animals. The kids had fun with all their little friends. It was Parker's first zoo trip and he was lovin' it!

Serenity's Pre-school graduation

Serenity is officially in kindergarten! I can't believe how fast this year flew by and I know it is just going to go by faster once she starts school in August. CAC had a little program. Last year she cried during the program, but this year she did a wonderful job of singing! We are so proud of her! She got a couple of graduation gifts... one being a spirit shirt for her elementary school Copper Hills. Miss Sortini, her pre-school teacher last year, made the cutest bows for us. They even have her name and the school name on them. She was so excited!

Flash Back

I was going through some old pics and I thought I would post a couple. It is just crazy how fast the kiddos grow up. Ren is 3 in her picture and Landen is 1 in his picture. Mr. Parker is already growing so fast. Before we know it we will be at his first birthday party! I've been trying really hard to enjoy the everyday moments with my kids. It is a struggle some days when I am ready to pull my hair out because they are fighting with each other or saying, "Oh, Man!" when I tell them no. They are growing so fast that I have to enjoy every moment!

Brotherly Love

I came into the living room a couple of days ago and found this... It was too cute! Landen was talking to Parker and showing all the different toys in Parker's little gym. Landen is such an awesome BIG brother!

Last Game of the Season

So T-Ball was definitely something that we would do again. It was so much fun! Both kids really enjoyed it, Ren liked it more than Landen. Great Grandma and Great Grammie along with Papa, Rassie, and Uncle Matt came to watch the last game. It was soooo HOT! Landen was donezo from the beginning. He wasn't really paying attention, however he did get 3 balls in the outfield the most he had gotten ever in a single game. Landen also tackled a couple of his own players for the ball... and yes I am talking both arms wrapped around the other kid tumbling to the ground... I'm thinking a more contact sport may be up his alley. Ren got a total of 6 balls in the outfield so she was way excited and yes she keeps track and after every ball she looks our way and holds up her fingers in the amount she has caught... so proud! I think the kids can play one more year on the same team so that will be fun... until next year!

Parker is 2 months old

I love this pic of Parker because it is a huge smile and all you see is gums! Parker is so sweet! What a blessing he is in our lives. He has learned to roll over from his tummy to his back... he mostly does this when he is mad, but he has learned to do it as soon as he is on his tummy so he is avoiding the getting mad part. He is full of smiles and making all sorts of fun noises. He "talks" to each of us and has lots to say. Serenity and Landen still can't get enough of him. They are so helpful. They do not like the baby crying... as soon as he starts one of them is right there with his paci or talking to him. A couple of days ago, I was trying to get something finished for Serenity and Landen outside and the baby was crying in his crib for a total of 5 minutes and Ren told me that I was not a nice mommy to let my baby cry like that.
