Birthday Extravaganza

What was supposed to be a low key 5th birthday is turning into a birthday fun packed weekend!

Gavin said he didn't want to have a party. Just snowboarding and presents. We got his boots, bindings and board. Someone asked him what he was doing for his birthday and he said going to the mountains and Legoland. When did Legoland become part of the deal? We said that will be fun to do on his actual bday. I checked the place out and it didn't seem like much to do for a whole day. We asked gavin is it ok to go in the summer because they have a water park too. He was cool with that and decided Disneyland then...of course he did. Now Disneyland on Monday. The neat part is Jeremy and Clarissa are coming and this will be her first trip!

Well, not everyone can go boarding or to Disneyland, so now Saturday night we are having a pizza, cake and ice cream party. Then Gavin so nicely reminded us we had to bring cupcakes to school to celebrate as well. So today we brought pizza and ice cream cupcakes to school. Yes I made the ice cream cupcakes per Gavin's request! They are really easy to make too.

A day of do snowboarding turned into a weekend of celebrating. Next year I'm sticking to the party :)

I think I'm switching to hotdogs for Saturday, I'm pizzad out!

More pictures to come from this weekend

Smile...tear

Tiffany just asked me to be baby Brooke's (possibly Jacob's) godmother. I'm so honored! I was happy as the illegitimate aunt. I can't wait to be a part of this little one's life. Thank you Tiffany and Shawn, I'm so grateful to you.

Oh my baby bro...

On Dec 23, I had tons of baking to do. I asked DJ if he wanted to help me. Why do I ask for his help I don't know. Its more of company. He decided that I need to watch season 1 of Spartacus on Starz. He claimed its one of the best series ever and I had to be ready for season 2 coming this Jan.

Have you ever watched something that you don't like but you do because it is so annoying that you actually want to know, ugh! That night we watched episodes 1-6 (an hr each) and yes I had that much baking going on. At that point all I saw was lots of fighting and nudity... stimulating. DJ claims the story line gets better. All I see my annoyance increasing for characters and actually paying attention to see if anything does get better. We watched 7-10 the other night and tonight the doorbell rang and guess who was at the door with junk and ready to finish this up??? Yes, you can walk away and play on the CPU and come back to the show and still know whats going on.

This is all for the love of my bro who is sweet and well-intentioned. I guess Spartacus is our bond lol

Blast from the past....

This pic is at the end of the jump session... we should have done it in the beginning [sigh]

Some old friends of mine (we were cheerleaders in high school together and good friends) decided to have a playdate with our children. I just so happened a few weeks ago we were all in the same place at the same time at Cal State. I never go to admissions but needed too, Rachel (on the right) works there and Kathy (in the middle) is going back to school there. Its funny 10yrs later all have kids blah blah blah blah.
Gav and Jake (1/2 a yr apart, Jake older) hit it off and when never saw them again =) The babies were all good together but A being the big girl she is tried to be in the big jumpers =) Kylie and Austen are 4mo apart (A older) and Dylan a yr in March. Shhh!!! Kat has another one on the way ;)
Another fun day with adults and being able to bring my kids =) score!!! Next time the museum

Moody Monday

We are all in a funk at the same time!

I wake up crappy (sore throat, headache and cramps), Gav didn't want to wake up, A fussy and Boom not feeling well. Realize we woke up late as well and no milk in the fridge. I couldn't make breakfast (didn't realize e rely on milk so much). I figure lets turn the day around and go have breakfast at the local cafe. We were all happy...
We drop Gav off first, he doesn't want to go to school. I finally get him inside and there was attitude but he reluctantly goes to class. Next A who seemed ok to go but was off. Boom and I had a tone of work to get done around the house, studying for my final, him paperwork and nothing was accomplished =(
We get Gav from school and I let Boom go in alone. As they came out I saw this weird disappoint look on their faces. Boom picked Gav up from the director's office. He didn't want to listen to his teacher and picked a fight (well tiff) with his best friend (they call themselves Mario and Luigi) over a toy.
Next is Austen... she didn't want to nap and decided to wake the rest of her classmates. And threw an all out fit over having no more juice in her cup.
We all had a moody Monday and needed a time out (no playing, no Christmas decorating, etc) to think about our behavior... wish I could have thrown a fit though :)
After dinner (we ordered pizza), we all fell asleep earlier. It was a long day for us.
By Tuesday morning, it was like Monday never happened. We all kicked back into gear. The kids were well behaved and we got some work done. I was happy to be done with my last final that day

Its funny how we all have a really good day or go through a funk at the same time
