Cousins Luke B-Day

My nephew Luke is now 5. Time really does fly. We all got together for a party at Grandma Judy's house. It is always fun times when we are all together. As always Billie did a great job ! Uncle Dave with Jake , Shayna, and Luke. No my son will not sink. He is fearless in the water and loves to go under....So we make it so he can't drown.
Jake versus the shark......Jake is winning
Uh Oh........
And its official the shark wins!
Me and my oldest girlie
Ok so here is the deal.......Scott 38 and his brother Mike 40 think they can take Travis and Tyler. They are 18 and 19. Jungle ball is a serious game. With serious bragging rights. They have the desire ....they have the heart...... all that is missing is the 19 year old body. I miss it to.
They fought hard and dirty but still they did not pull off the win.
I think maybe the new rule should be no one over 35 gets to play jungle ball. Scott has asked me to remind him next time how sore he was the next day. I think these pictures should do the trick.
I still love you babe !! Even more than when you were 19 . Oh and if you didn't have arthritis soo bad I know you would have won . See I am a supportive wife !

Girls Weekend at the hotel Del

I have had such a great week! Cleo (Scotts Mom) treated us to a 3 days in San Diego at the hotel Del Coronado. I am so blessed to not only love my mother-n-law but my sister-n-law(Billie) as well. We had such a great time. Cleo and Jade would relax at the lounge while Billie and I headed off for messages and to play on the beach. We could just lay there reading our people magazine without having to chase , referee or even rescue anyone. Then we moved on to the adult pool. Who even knew that kind of thing existed. I did not even have to jump in and save anyones kid . This is a good thing. We had fabulous dinners ,wines and even deserts. I think I could live this life. We laughed , shopped, and layed in the sun. PERFECT!!
Scott got to spend some special quality time with the kids. He is not as thankful for these little get aways as I am. Actually he was so sweet the house was even clean when I got home. He made all the kids play out front while they waited for me to get home. This was the only way to ensure the house stayed clean. Thanks babe for having the wisdom to know this was just what I needed. I can be a better wife with the wine.... Oh I ment with these breaks.

Yo Gabba Gabba

One of the Moms on Sam's Brownie troop does the choreography for the show Yo Gabba Gabba. So we were able to get a behind the scenes tour. It was so fun to see how it is all done. The characters even came out and took pictures with the girls. Sam was very excited. What a great experience for the girls. Sam was in her element. My little performer. Thanks Shannon ! Sammy girl
All the characters
On the set.

My little guy

This week was crazy as they all seem to be . Soccer started on Monday and Tuesday then continued on Thursday and Friday. Lucky me we get to be on the soccer field almost every night of the week. In September we will add in Awana on Wednesday night and Volleyball games 2 nights a week oh and soccer games on Saturday. Really I have no idea how I am going to finagle this lovely schedule. The hardest part is trying to figure out dinners. I can only cook so many things in the crock pot. Practices are 5-6 and I really like the kids in bed by 7. Yes I know this will never work. If any one has some good quick recipes please pass them my way.
Heidi's little guys came over to play the other day . They had so much fun ! I love that we are so close. I make them swing this way because i am to lazy to push them constantly. Jake thinks its great ,but Chaz and Anthony were on to my scheme.
So this is what happens when you have older sisters. Even spiderman is mad.
Aunt Kathy got Jake this truck from UPS . He loves cars and trucks .Thanks Aunt Kathy !!Jake does not talk very much but his new word is strong. He grunts while he says it. He needs to be strong with all these girls.
