If you're dyslexic, I'm 23!! ;)

First on Saturday night Abbey and I went out for a Bday Girl's Night out, filled with yummy food, TONS of gabbin' and some shopping, woohoo!

Then today we went over to my SIL's house, Lori for a family bbq dinner and bday cake! Thanks so much for the great food and yummy cake so sweet!I wished I were YOUNGER!!..;)

Belle enjoyed the cake most of all...

Teddy and Presley..I mean, "boodie" as he calls her

Hey, can't be that bad, I'm still younger than THIS guy..

Me and the majority of all my girlies..Happy Birthday to me! :)

Thanks to everyone for their bday wishes, gifts and love..I also got the greatest news on my birthday this year..my BFF Abbey is PREGNANT!!! So a happy, joyous day all around!

Today was Piper's Preschool Graduation! She finished with flying colors and has ONLY wanted to do Preschool..no other extra-curricular activities so this was her special moment this year.
Belle saw me taking pics of Piper and wanted to get in on the action..oh alright just take one together too!!

After barely mouthing the words to most of the songs, cuz that's how she rolls, she walked the little stage and received her diploma! Watch out Kindergarten!!!....
She was super stoked that Daddy could make it from work and show his love for his preschooler..(and Coke obviously..;p)
and the lil' graduate with her weirdo mommy..;D Piper looks more like me but acts like her dad, go figure..
We're proud of her and we love Miss Amy who was such a spectacular teacher and made Piper looooooooooove school so much that she didn't want to do anything else. I can't believe she'll be in kindergarten soon, so crazy! We luv you Piperoni!

Take me out to the ballgame...

So....Teddy took me to a BALLGAME! We went and saw the San Diego Padres vs. LA Dodgers, in San Diego. He got great seats, right by the 1st base line, I didn't even have to zoom in!!It was nice because our hotel was 3 blocks away, so we just walked to the stadium, and the weather was beautiful so the few hours we had before the game started were fun to walk around downtown and EAT!!!!..such good food without being interrupted by my lovely children..;D

Is that love in our eyes? Love for our chips and salsa, enchiladas and fried ice cream, maybe!!
Do I always have to act up?? I was just acting like the crrrrrrrrrrazy Dodgers fans that outnumbered Padres fans 2 to 1 that we were surrounded by, ahahaha...(sooo LOUD)
It got chilly obviously, but honestly it was a lot of fun to be able to hold hands, snuggle, laugh, eat, eat, eat(yes, I DID have a ballpark hotdog, and popcorn :D )..and say jokes ("Mom jeans"!!) at the same time together..

I honestly can't remember the last time Teddy and I went anywhere together like this, and it probably won't happen again until the baby is older because it was such a short time to be gone, but we're so grateful to kind SIL's and MIL's who helped out with all our kiddos and gave us a cool 24 hours to be kids ourselves. In a couple years we're going for a week!!! Grandparents be warned..;)

Ballerina Lily

This little sweetie is my oldest, Lily. She'll be 8yrs old next month I can't believe it! She is all decked out in her makeup and ballet costume for her Dress Rehearsal today. Unfortunately, her great performance will be on Saturday when my hubby and I will be out of town (we didn't know the recital date until too late after we booked tickets)...so I will be so sad to miss her perform because she loves it so much. Hopefully with all our techno stuff we can capture it in every form imaginable so we feel like we won't miss too much.

I don't often post about the big girls too much because they're not growing like weeds and changing every 5 seconds, but Lily is so sweet, she's the oldest, she's the caretaker, the goofy one, the very intelligent for her age one, the greatest helper, and the people pleaser. But she's also a gemini which means she does have that "other" side to her personality as well..lol

WE love our sweet, sensitive, kind Lily Bryn..our little ballerina!

Coolest hangout...

...seems to be wherever THIS guy is...whether it's working outside (hey get out of the dirt!)

working out and pumping iron in the basement (Yo Adrian!)...going to the store(but I really really

really NEEEEEED this ringpop!)...

hanging out on the deck in the back (daddy and then this one time, look at that, what are those?)...

lounging on the couch (is the scary part coming up??)....

he's got 3 permanent shadows with him, and he wouldn't have it any other way. He let's them

shadow a long wherever he goes, he's already priming the littlest one(who seems to always be asleep by the time there is good hangout photo ops..;) for when she's old enough because she luuuuuuvs her Daddy already so much!

We ALL do I suppose..

My story...

I'm sharing my story as a guest blogger today at the wonderful blog "the R house"

This is a big step for me folks...it's about time I let it all out...

luv,

Roll with it...

How come these type of juicy, thick, rolly polly thighs are not

considered precious and so CUTE when we're adults? When does it

become "not cool"?

I'm gonna bring it back...I think I'm gonna try walking down the

street in a onesie and see if anyone yells out how adorable my rolls are...
