More Storage!!

I've been bad about taking pictures because I've been writing a workshop and we've also run out of storage on our computer. We just got an external hard drive, so I'll be back up and running soon!!

Reid & Quinn's Birthday Party at the Water park

I asked the boys if they wanted their own birthday parties or if they wanted to share one. They wanted to share, so we celebrated at the water park.
I have a feeling we are going to do this every year!

We did actually swim at this birthday party...you can't tell from these pictures!
Yeah...Grandpa came!!
Yipee...GB came, too!
Pizza and cupcakes!
The kids frosted and decorated their own cupcakes. Quinn just wanted the icing!
GB helping out..
Yummy!
Now, what you don't see in the pictures is all of the drama that happened at the pool. A few of the kids went into the baby pool and the chlorine levels were too high. The boys were complaining of their pee-pees hurting. The mommies took them to the bathroom and they were all red. Then our friend, Henry, slipped and fell on the playground by the pavilion and his tooth went straight through his lip. He ended up having to get 8 stitches. (Thank goodness the tooth was ok!) So it was a fun party...burned privates and busted lips! Hope we have this much fun next year!

Vacation in San Antonio

We got a little vacation this weekend. We visited lots of family.

We started off at Cindy and Dennis' house.
Amanda came in, too! We had so much fun.
Before we went, I asked Reid and Quinn what they were going to do in San Antonio.
They said, "We are going to sit in Dennis' chair and he is going to throw us
out and throw us onto the sofa!" Quinn said, "Dennis is going to lift us high in the air."
The boys had to clean up after helping Dennis clean out his garden. They each made a dollar!

Birthday present time! Dinosaur Hot Wheel tracks! So cool! Notice where Quinn is. He had the biggest crush on Amanda. Whenever she came around, he would hide his face. He is in love.

Look at all of these muscles!
Spiderman jump!
Look at this Spiderman jump!
Even Quinn started jumping off the diving board. They had so much fun in the water! They jumped for about an hour each day. Needless to say everyone took naps!
On Sunday we went to visit Uncle Artie and Aunt Sandy. We got to see all of the kids! So great to see everyone!

Fire Museum

We went to the Fire Museum yesterday!!

My friend, Esta, came over the other day with her son, Eric, the REAL fire-fighter. The boys were so excited! They proceeded to pull out every toy that had to do with fire-fighters. When Eric was impressed by all of this, the boys thought he'd really be impressed by all of their toys! Within 5 minutes, the toy room was cleared out!

We just had to visit the Fire Museum again!
Reid climbed up but wasn't sure he was ready to slide down!
Here we go!
Quinn doing his tough fire-fighter pose!

On our way to a fire!

Don't you feel safer already?

What a team!
Look who is at the wheel! Notice the seat belt?
Hold on tight!
