Evan is 3!

A week ago today my little guy turned 3. We celebrated his birthday with family and friends at Zoomars petting zoo. Evan loved being at zoo surrounded by all the animals, especially the guinea pigs. I think all the other kids had a super good time and it was stress free for me. It was defiantly a party I would recommend.

The three were so intense the whole time.


As each gift was unwrapped a screaming fest broke out from the 3 amigos. And I mean EACH gift. Oh to be a kid!


Ending the afternoon by saying Hi to the guinea pigs one last time.

Father's Day

I know, I can't believe I am posting Fathers Day way late, but I had to. Every Father should be remembered and this Fathers Day was memorable.

This year for Fathers Day we went to Scott's restaurant to have lunch. He had to work so we met up with him and he was able to join us for a scrumptious lunch. The kids did surprising well for the first hour and then they were done. If you have ever been to Bouchon it's not a walk in, get your food quick kind of place, especially when you are VIP. They always treat you right and send out way to much food. Eating there is always an EXPERIENCE, which I love, but when you have 2 little ones that will only last an hour you want to speed up the process. Once we were done eating we went to the back kitchen to take a quick tour and show everyone the kids. As we were ready to leave Scott surprised us and said he was taking off the rest of the day to come home with us. That was a treat.

The second part of the day we went over to Scott's parents for a fish taco dinner provided by Kelly & Brian. It was super tasty fresh caught Alaskan halibut. I was bummed because I was so full from lunch that I could only handle a bite. The rest of the night we relaxed in the backyard and watched the kids play and swim in the jacuzzi. The cousins had fun together as usual.

The best thing about our day was actually being able to spend it together. We love Dad and all he does for us. I know he loves his kids and spending time with them is a treasure. We love you dad!

For the LOVE of Trains

On Saturday June 19th we headed to the Costa Mesa mini train track to meet up with our cousins. My aunt has been many times and told us about this awesome place. Its called the Goathill Jct. Railroad. Click HERE if you want to check it out. It's only open to the public 2 days a month and is run by volunteers. They run about 5 to 6 real mini train, some powered by coal and some steam engines. It was amazing, especially since Evan loves trains. The best part is that it is free and you can ride as many times as you want. They ask for donations if possible, so we left them with a nice donation for all the fun we had. We all rode at least once, even little Hannah, but Evan rode about 7 times. He had the time of his life.

Funny, Not so Funny

Yesterday we went my moms work to pick her up. When she got in the car Evan asked grandma where we were going. Grandma told him we were going to the park and Evan replied "oh yeah, that's awesome". My mom and I were cracking up because we have never heard him say awesome before.

Then when we got home from the park Evan followed me inside with some ice cream. I was getting out bowls, turned around and saw him tugging on his pants and singing pants on the ground, pants on the ground. It was hilarious. My dad had just been singing that to Evan when he loaded him up in the car to go to the park. So he must of remembered it. Funny what kids pick up on.

Lately Hannah has been getting really irritated with her brother smothering her and constantly bugging her. So the last few days she has been trying to hit him and scratch him. When she gets really angry she gets this look on her face, yells and tries to smack and grab Evan's arm. I don't blame her for being irritated because the poor girl can't get a minute alone, but violence. I don't know weather to laugh or scold her. Life will definitely be different for her growing up.

4th of July

This 4th of July we were able to go with Aunt Kelly and the kids on Uncle Brian's boat. We had a blast watching fireworks from the Ocean. It was the best view I have ever had with the least amount of noise. It also made me much more secure knowing that sparks weren't going to land and start a fire. (I have a weird fear of fireworks and fires). Evan loved it and Hannah actually stayed awake the whole night to watch the fireworks. The Sum Fun definitely provided us with Tons of Fun this 4th. Thanks Uncle Brain!
