Grant's First Sleepover

Grant and his friend Owen have been talking about having a sleepover for months now! So Friday was the night and they were great!! We went to a going away party and then to frozen yogurt. We let them stay up pretty late and watch Dumbo and then they both asked to go to bed. The next morning we made waffles and they played and swam and then it was time to go. So fun to watch Grant have fun with his friends!

Birthday Getaway

After we met up with my family for lunch we headed over to Santa Barbara where we dropped the kids off with Chad's parents and he surprised me with a night at the Bacara. It was so nice to get away and have a little piece and quiet :) we had a fun dinner with Brynn and Sep and then spent most of the day Monday walking the beach and at the pool.

Little Monkeys

My mom and dad got these rally monkey beanies at the Angel game last week and I just love this picture my sister took of them wearing them!!

Slip N Slidin

Fun times! I can't wait to be able to use it in a few months!

My Gym!!

After going to My Gym for almost 3 years I finally took a few pictures today. Grant went to his first class where he is on his own and he loved it. He hasn't gone since last summer but lately has been asking if he could go. It works great because there is a class for Cale right after and Grant watched with a couple other older brothers.

The Talk

My friend Fawn and I got to be in the audience of The Talk's Million Dollar Baby Show.  We had a blast and even though we were there for 7 hours it flew by.  The boys were at Laura's house with her and Dana and Grammy and they had a fun day too.  I could not believe all the stuff we got!  It will be fun to have a few new things for #3 and we are planning on giving away a few of our old things now.

From what I can remember this is what we got:
Young America crib
Quinny Zapp stroller
Maxi Cosi Mico carseat
Petunia Pickle Bottom Satchel diaper bag
Certificate to Isabel Elizabeth for a necklace
6 months of Pampers
Dr Brown's feeding and baby food making stuff
Mustela products
Rockabye Baby CDs
First Years breastpump and sterilizer
Safety 1st stuff (baby monitor, bath for the sink, humidifier, thermometer)
Bassinette
Moses Basket and gift certificate to Posh Tots
Gift Certificate to Oopsy Daisy for artwork
Gift Certificate to Swaddle Designs
Balboa Baby nursing pillow, sling, shopping cart cover and nursing cover
Quickstart highchair
2 Snugli baby carriers

I'm sure there was more but even this list is so crazy!  We could not believe everything we got, it was pretty cool!  Here we are on top of the parking structure at CBS after the show.  It was such a pretty day and we were wiped at this point!

 And here is the car pretty packed full of kids and stuff!  Most of the big things we had to send for but even what we brought home was SO MUCH!

Hitchin' A Ride

Our small group goes to Plaza Towers once a month to do BINGO with the residents there.  It is a low income retirement home so they love having fun things like this and for the most part they are grateful to have us there.  There are a few grouchy old ladies that take it way too seriously and get mad if we veer away from their rules at all but we love it and so do the boys!  Anyways, after BINGO was over one lady gave the boys a ride on her wheelchair.  I didn't get a picture of Cale but here is Grant and he was even steering it!

So Far So Good!

Last night was Cale's first time in his "big boy bed" and it was also the first time the boys have shared a room.  We weren't sure how it was going to go...Cale has seemed really excited about being a bed but he's also not as compliant as Grant was at that age :)

They were having fun all day getting in and out of Cale's new bed!

 All tucked in

 He looks so little but I can't believe he's already in a bed!

 It took until about 9:00 for them to be totally quiet but they slept all night and this is how Cale was sleeping when I went in this morning to check on them.  So sweet!

 Grant is so excited to have Cale in with him.  He told me that Cale kept talking to him though and that he was really trying to go to sleep.  We did hear lots of laughing for a while.  As long as they stay in bed I don't think either of us mind the talking and laughing!

 After we dropped Grant off at school Cale and I went and had some donuts to celebrate!

 This is his "funny face" every time I ask him to make one.

Can You Say Obsessed?

Cale LOVES Mickey Mouse!  I don't know where this obsession came from, we aren't big Mickey or Disney people and Grant never really watched it.  But Cale will cry in front of the TV for Mickey and when it comes on he is completely into it.  It's the only show that he will actually sit and watch.  Too funny!

Such a Fun Weekend!

Friday night...Arena Bowl (High School All Star Football Game)

Saturday and Sunday we had the Wills family to visit and stay with us.  It was a gorgeous weekend and we even got to swim!

We finished off the weekend with a trip to Baskin Robbins and to play at the fountain.
