No more naps at 3 years old??? REALLY?

Lo has skipped a room at her daycare which is great because she's doing so well and she's so mature! BUT, the new room she's in is filled with older kids and they don't have nap time. In the class she was in before she never napped but always had that quiet time to lay in her cot. And then on the four days she was at home she'd nap at least 3 hours. NOW, she's decided she doesn't need them anymore. This past weekend I went through our normal routine even though she said she didn't want to sleep...and an hour later I check on her and she's awake in her room singing or talking. I ask her if she's slept, her answer is "I'll sleep tomorrow K Mom?" I did it all three days last weekend and she didn't nap once. And the answer I always got when I asked her why is always the same..."I'll sleep tomorrow". Great...there go my quiet afternoons! Boo hoo!

Family Reunion 2008

I stole this picture from Tabitha. I don't think I ever had one of the whole family - so this is us!

Boy's fishing trip

Last Thursday my husband, dad and two brother in law's decided they needed some manly time together so they planned a fishing trip out to Pine Valley, UT.

We had gone out there a couple of months ago to camp and fish and had a blast so T wanted to show off the area because it's SO pretty!

Packing up and getting ready to head out
Making sure it's all tied down
ynnaD, Dad, ynoT, tnerT and Lo

Both girls cried because they didn't want Daddy to leave - awww...what am I, chop liver?
The camp site - how pretty! Except for the fact that ynoT used it as a urinal!
Se up and ready to chill
Fishin'
ynnaD was the only one to catch anything - he caught 4 trout. There's a video of him kissing it but T took video...not picture. Never let a man be in control of the camera!
His supper!

So after the fished they headed back to camp and it poured down rain. They cooked their dinner in a huddle, ate in their tents and tried to wait out the rain but it was relentless and they were soaked. So instead of looking at each other all night in the tent - they came home that night. Some would call them wussies, I say otherwise. I didn't have to sleep alone and everyone got home safe!

Backwards

I figured out a way to put people's names in my blog and not get it all caught up in the google search. Spell it backwards!!!

So that's my reason for it in the last post.

Happy Sunday and Football watching!

s'esseJ B-day celebration

Chels set up a little surprise get together for her man's b-day at Gordon Biersch. It was nice to get out without the kids! It's been awhile that we've both gone out so it was a good time.

T and I went to Fado's first to watch the football game and have some dinner.

B-day boy and his girl
Cute cake!




Oh my - I didn't notice s'esseJ look on his face! He looks a little disturbed!!! LOL!

Ewww, I didn't love that shot. It had gold schlauger in it!!!! It was supposed to taste like apples and cinnamon...and it did, but eww. Thinking about it right now makes me want to puke.
I liked the cupcakes better! =) Although you can't tell by the look on my face - what was I thinking?

A visit from our Rancho Cucamonga friends

Our friends came for a visit this past weekend. We know them through some people we used to know, we don't talk to those people anymore...the one good thing that came out of that friendship was this friendship. Anyway, it was the first time the whole family came so we were all excited. Especially my girls, they couldn't wait to have another 3 year old to play with!

They got in late afternoon Friday and we all went to I Love Sushi for dinner. Saturday we went to Town Square and Saturday night we BBQ'd at our house.

Having lunch at Yardhouse in Town Square

We also had lunch w/ Alice Cooper - ok, maybe he was at another table but he was right by us.

I don't know why she's making that face...but I like the picture because it looks like steam is coming out of T's ears!
B and C
At the water park watching the kids
She's having a blast!

He loves the guitar and music in general - I think he may be the next Keith Urban!

Cort FINALLY came to a BBQ and got to grub on some short ribs! I had to take a picture because he doesn't always come and always talks about wanting to eat them!
Little L grubbin' on some wings! This boy can put em DOWN!
Uncle T and Little Lo

The girls
So we took another to make it so H's boobies didn't look like they were falling out...but it was worse! Still a cute picture all around though!

Thanks for coming out to Vegas to visit us W family. We love you and can't wait to see you again!

Labor Day Weekend 08

We had a pretty chill labor day. Just hung around the house with the kids.

We tested out the Fuji camera so there are a lot of pictures, but when are there not??

She looks so much like her big sissy in the picture.
So pretty
Cuter butt!
We went with our neighbors to a water park on Labor Day and let the kids run wild!

He was trying to catch the water!

Who's that?
Cccccooolllddd
Don't you just want to eat those cheeks?

He was waiting for this one to turn on
And it did!

She was cold

Sun Bathing - it was such a nice day that day!

She's saying No Daddy, I don't want to go to the playground I want to eat my Starbursts!


She was chewing on a starburst

Hope everyone had safe and happy holiday!
