It's hard to say goodbye

My parents have been here for almost 14 days. They came to watch the boys while we went to the wedding. And since they don't get to come out very often they decided to stay a while. It was so nice to have them around. They really helped out alot with the boys. And they kept saying "I don't know how you do it". With our busy schedules coming and going, and Ryan's never home it makes for long hard days sometimes. But the kids were really good just very very active!!! They never set for very long.
We took them to Austin on Saturday and tried a new BBQ place. (I'm still a Rudy's fan and liked it better but it was fun to try something new.) And then took them to the capital and walked around downtown. My Mom's a big history buff and loves exploring historical buildings. We wanted to go to San Antonio and hit the Alamo but we just ran out of time. I guess they will have to come back for that one.
My Dad did a few projects around the house. My Dad rocks when it comes to projects I love it when he comes. We love having people over. It gets so lonely at times being so far away from family. We stayed up WAY TO LATE every night just chatting and playing cards some nights. They even let Ryan and I go on a date on Saturday. It flew by way to fast. I hated to see them go. And can't wait to see them again soon.

Diane's wedding

I really needed sun glasses. And thinner arms. WOW CAN YOU SAY CHUNKY?

The Newport Beach temple was so beautiful.




Diane looked so beautiful. It was sweet to see her and her Dad so emotional.


It was foggy but the beach was still beautiful

Hey Wacko Jacko. They had weird impersonators on the walk of fame

We wanted to go to Jay Leno but didn't get the tickets. It was fun to see a live taping. I didn't even know who this guy was.

The replica of the worlds tallest man.


We went to California this weekend for Ryan's sisters wedding. I wish the weather would have been warmer but it was so nice to get away for a long weekend. We got to do a little sight seeing. It was so nice being with Ryan. We long for a Vacation together just spending time wandering around with out a agenda. But the ceremony was the best I've ever been to. It was an amazing weekend. Hated for it to end. But I sure missed the kids!!!!

A great invention.

I found a drive trough full service post office. I LOVE the genius that invented this. Thank you to kid friendly places that I don't have to pile everyone out just to mail a package. And they give you a free donut or suckers. How perfect is that?

The Birds and the Bees!!

Ok so I've debated on if I should post this or not. But it is the way my life goes always some craziness so I thought why not. To set the picture Trevor's school is HUGE and all the kids get out at the same time so you can only imagine the insane amount of kids all dashing out the school doors at once not to mention the millions of parents waiting for their kids. So here I was waiting for Trevor when he comes running out of school in Tears. When he gets to me he said all to loudly "Mom what does the word SEX mean and why do grown ups get so mad when you say it?" All the parents turned and looked at me. I got the look of GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ONE. GLAD IT'S NOT ME!!!
Apparently there was a book in the library that a bunch of the 2ND graders got. It was titled how to teach your kids about sex. And the kids were all laughing and telling each other what this was. It was interesting hearing from Trevor what the other kids thought this was. Trevor was completley clueless which it should be at age 7.
I had to laugh as we were walking home Trevor asked if he needed me to have him check out that book so I could learn what it was. I could see the conversation with him and the school librarian who happens to be our neighbor. "My Mom needs this book because she doesn't know what Sex means" Yep that totally sounds like something Trevor would say.
Ryan and I were planning on having "THE TALK" with Trevor when he was 8 because we wanted to tell him before his friends mentioned things. I never thought he would hear about this so early on. It's so crazy. Needless to say we've had several great discussions and they all went quite nicely I would have to say. Even Josh got involved (which was hilarious but I'll save that story for another time maybe.) I hate how kids have to grow up so fast I wish they could stay little forever. I've always felt blessed that Trevor will come to us and tell us EVERYTHING!!! He loves to tattle on himself. But I'll have to admit I was proud I heard all of this from him, all the other parents got a letter sent home. I know this wont last forever but I hope he will always stay comfortable to come to us with ANYTHING!!! Heaven knows that with this kids curiosity he's going to need a huge conscious and allot of support. We sure do love him.

Trevor's 2nd grade program

Last night was Trevor's 2ND grade program it was all about how you can be anything when you grow up. It was so cute the kids did an amazing job. Ryan even talked about what he does for a living. Trevor did a little group song about wanting to be a cowboy but the video was so long I didn't post it all. This was just a little bit of the program. (unfortunatly the pictures didn't turn out they were all too dark.)


Ryan did such a good job I posted his little speach. I know he's not going to be happy with it but to bad I'm so proud of him this is just one more thing that he's good at Talking in front of people. :)



ok pardon the horriable video job I was holding Gavin and he kept grabbing my arm.
