You've had a Birthday.......

Shout hooray!

Let the pampering begin! My sweet little boys were all ready to give me some extra lovin' on my birthday! They picked me out these gorgeous roses and were so excited to surprise me! What a perfect start to a perfect day! Scott let me sleep in and got the boys dressed, fed and all ready for school.  He was so sweet and brought home breakfast.......... had a pizza party organized for lunch with family there, and spoiled me with great presents! 

This year I even got a CAKE!!  Thanks babe. Turning 28 wasn't so bad after all.

Me and my cake.

Regan - Thanks for cute shirt! You know I loved it if I went and put it on two minutes later!! 

I feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family who made me feel SO loved on my birthday! You know who you are!! xoxo

KAEL'S PIRATE PARTY!!

I wanted Kael to have an awesome birthday this year....... and I think he did. Turning 6 is a BIG DEAL. We sure love this handsome, athletic, happy, smart, and loving boy!  He will always be the best big brother and example in our home. Happy Birthday Kael!! We love you.

He wanted a treasure chest cake ....... so here it is.

    He loved it!

We were praying for a HOT day so the kids could all play on our crazy water slide treehouse!

They had such a blast together!

Pirate buddies.... Karson and Beau.

He look so big in this picture.......

Happy birthday my boy!

Early to bed, early to rise......

School Time has arrived!

The boys have started school this week and are so excited. Kael thinks school is "AWESOME"!

Karson is very proud to have three pet guinea pigs in his classroom!  This week has been great so far and I am excited for them to learn and make new friends this year.  The boys are both happy with their teachers and we haven't had any melt downs yet (except for when I forgot to pack Kael a snack the first day of school........ he was a little emotional about that). 

This is all new to me, so hopefully I will keep up with it all! 

So here they are, first day of school, 7:40 am, sleepy eyes, new clothes and Big smiles!!

Way to go boys, we love you!

Birthday Princess.

Here is our birthday princess! She turned one today! I was so excited to make a PINK cake. 

This little girl has brought so much love and joy into our family. She is starting to show her little personality more and we just can't get enough of it! She loves to clap her hands and get attention from everyone. If we are in heaven now I can't even imagine what it will be like when she turns three! We sure love our baby girl!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JADE!

Her very pink butterfly cake!

Scott cuddling with his favorite girl.

Jade and I posing with the cake!

She grabbed that cake so fast and was loving every bite!

I love it when they dig right in!

An attempted family picture. Thanks Regan, I almost forgot to try!

Quietly enjoying the goods.

What a great day! Thanks to everyone who sent or gave Jade presents to make her day special!

Crazy Colorado weather

 Houses have been struck by lightning in our neighborhood. Tornado warnings aren't unusual ..... seek shelter underground. Our trampoline blew over and broke our fence. Giant hail storms that will hurt you when you try to run out and collect evidence. Scattered thunder showers daily.  Always exciting I guess. Sometimes a little scary.

Our proof.

Kael was determined to find the biggest ones...... and came in crying because it hurt so bad!

July 4th and golfing buddies

This is a catch up post of everything going on these past few weeks.

Our July 4th was a blast! We had an amazing time with great friends, family, food and fireworks! 

Miraculously, no one died that night from random fireworks falling down sideways and blasting off towards the kids and houses..... I'm still traumatized. Exciting though?!

Here we are getting things started.

Scott and I a little wet from the rain.

The kids enjoying all the fun. 

Giant sparklers and $500 of fireworks= best show ever! Thanks Travis and Angie!

Jade wearing her July 4th bow! 

The boys LOVE to go golfing with daddy, and he loves taking them. Kael is really good and can hit the ball like 50 yards with out much effort. Karson is getting better and is always reminding Scott to keep his eye on the ball! That should explain how well Scott has been doing!?

No messing with this kid.

A handful, that's exactly what he is!

They just look so cute out there together!

So focused to do it perfect.

He scores!

More family fun in June.....

This post is kind of late but full of great pictures from when Scott's family came to visit us in June. It was such a blast to see all the little cousins playing together and for my kids to show their true colors to all the extended family. Yes, they were shocked by what they saw and heard and hopefully they will come back in the future. All in all everyone survived..... even Ethan after being run over by Kael on his bike at full speed (which is too fast). 

Thanks to Joan for cooking Scott a scrumptious birthday dinner which he loved! It was so awesome that everyone (minus Seth ...... we missed you!) was here to celebrate Scottie's 31st birthday! I know he loved it. We had so much fun and can't wait to see everyone in August!

Thanks for coming we sure love you guys!

Scott and Mike headed for the golf course.

Happy Birthday to my man!

Jade and Grandpa bonding.... first driving lesson?

So cute, she fits in the wheel!

Just the two of us....

Back in San Francisco......... the city we LOVE. No kids to chase around thanks to Scott's Mom who was willing to watch baby Jade and the two other monsters.  I know how much work it was for her and that she still managed to mend, clean, bake, play, cook, bathe and love my kids (even Karson) We can't thank you enough Joan for all you did for us last week!!  We love you!

It was so incredible for Scott and I to be back in the city and support my brothers for graduation. We adore them and their families so much and know that we will probably ALL never be back there together again for a long time..... if ever.   We are so proud of you guys and loved being a part of such an amazing weekend. 

  Other highlights of our trip: 

Wicked.

Bistro Aix, Asqew, and Mama's = amazing food!

 The boat tour under golden gate bridge.

Our hotel at Fisherman's Wharf.

Baker Beach...... no nudes.

Mac makeovers.

and the list goes on .......... it was so great to get away together and especially to really ENJOY the city that means so much to us.

Congratulations Dr. Joel & Dr. Brett!
