Oceanside Cali Trip

So I am finally Blogging again... I know I am so bad at it! Our vacation to Oceanside California finally came at the beginning of this month. The Theme of this vacation was centered around our husbands volunteering at the US open. They had so much fun working with the pro's and had a very fun time working together. Here is Spencer, Tim and Tyler at the golf course lovin life.While the boys where out playing the mom's and kiddos went to the beach about everyday. Seth was such a big help and loved the beach!! Our beach house was just across the street from the beach so it made it so easy to just go when we wanted to.
Seth playing it up!
Tessa loved the sand. We couldn't keep it out of her mouth, nose and other place we won't mention. She couldn't get enough of it.

We also got to go Disneyland with the entire gang. We had so much fun with everyone and the kids had a blast. Here from left to right.. Me, Molly, Cami, Alyssa (my niece and babysitter, and Kylie aka Tree Molly's babysitter. Yes you heard right. I took my wonderful niece Alyssa to help out with the kids. Specially while Spencer was at the US open. It was totally worth it... Thanks Alyssa your the best!

My wonderful Birthday!!

I know, I know I haven't blogged in over a month but I am doing it now. I am going to start blogging where I think I left off and I think it was around my birthday. My sweet sweet husband decided to give me the best birthday present ever.... 24 hour break from my kiddos (who I love very much) Thanks to my parents who watch our kids we where off to have some much needed RNR. We found this really good resort in north AZ and just had a blast. We went out to dinner without kids, we went to the movies without the kids, we went shopping and more shopping with out the kids, and we went out to breakfast without the kiddos. Sorry can you tell that I needed a break. Here I am with all my bags of goodies... I just love to shop.. It can be a problem :)
Spencer and I acting like a bunch of kids... we had so much fun together
Breakfast the next morning.... Thank to babe for such a fun Birthday.. I love you so much!!

Biggest Loser!!

My husband and I decided that we both wanted to lose some weight before our summer's vacations that we have planned. So knowing both of our personalities we realized to achieve our goal we would need a little competition in order to say motivated and lose our goal weight. Couple of times last year we and a group involving our family and friends all got together and joined our own BIGGEST LOSER contest. It was very successful and we all felt a little better about ourselves. The rules are that we all put in 100 dollars in the beginning of the eight week contest. If we lose 10% of our weight we will get 50 dollars of our 100 back and the rest of the money will go to THE BIGGEST LOSER!! Our weight is calculated by percentage of our weight so it is fair for everyone. Well fair if you don't consider that MEN lose weight faster and have a slight advantage over us women in the competition. You can't take pills or any kind of weight lose supliments.There are about 12 people in the competition and it ends on June 1st. In last years contest my husband Spencer won one and I won the other. Take it that I had just had a baby but it seemed to work to my advantage.I am really excited to lose some weight and feel motivated to do so. Right now I am completely starving and my stomach is growling at me. I have worked my butt off at the gym the last couple of days and am feeling quite fatigue at the moment. If I can make it through this week I will be just fine. Stay tuned for update...... Let the Biggest loser win!! Bring it on ......

Easter

We had a great and crazy Easter Sunday.... We woke up and the kiddos enjoyed there Easter baskets and then went quickly on our way to church. After church we headed to my parent house for dinner around the corner from there house the reception house my in law family works at t had a Easter egg hunt for all of the kids in the neighborhood. The kids had a blast and we got some pretty cute pictures out of it. After dinner at my parent house, which was delicious we went to our second Easter meal at Spencer's family house. We had a great day and are so grateful for the opportunity to reflect on how much our Savior has done for each one of us.Two very cute kiddos... Seth was mad that I made him wear a pink shirt.. he he he

T-Ball

Seth has started T-ball. He is really good at it but it not really sure if he like it too much. He loves to hit the ball and run the bases but when it comes to fielding he is pretty bored with it all. We keep encouraging him and promise him a trip to the closes QT if he plays and stay out in the field. It seem to be working but we will see how his first game goes..Good job Sethers!

Seth turned FOUR!!

So you are going to think that I went way over board for my sons birthday and rented him a limo...When in fact my sister in law and mother in law work at a reception house and have a limo on hand. Seth had in formed us all that he wanted to go to Peper (peter) Piper Pizza in the big car (limo) at Hope's work (sister in law). So because Hope is a great aunt she made it happen.
Seth in the Limo ready to go.... Do you think he is happy??

All of the kids sang Seth's favorite song in the limo.... 123 like a bird I sing
We had Pizza and cupcakes and finally Seth got to open his presents. I think every gift was something Go Diego, Go. It turns out there is a lot of Diego things out there because everyone got him something different.. Thank you everyoneAbout to blow out his candle...

In the beginning of March my best friend Lindy came over for a visit with her two adorable kiddos. Lindy and I have been friends since our mom's have been pregnant with us. She is more a sister to me then a friend. We had so much fun together and I am so glad to came to AZ to visit

Power Blog

Ok, I am behind in blogging yet again!! So this is going to be a MAJOR Power Blog so bear with me.....
This was Seth's first time doing his first Valentine's Day card for his class. He had so much fun and got so much candy.... As you can tell Seth loves Go Diego, Go!!
We also got to experience with a lot sickness in our house. We where told that Seth might have Asthma and had him doing breathing treatments and oral steroids.... When in fact if his doctor would have just listen to his mother and gave him a antibiotic we could of avoided months of sickness and medication. My poor little guy!! I finally had to go to a different doctor to get him on the proper medication and he was soon feeling back to his happy self. He still might have a touch of Asthma but we are just going to have to wait it out
