Friends Forever!

On our last early release day from school we invited some of the boys' friends over to play.  With a total of 6 little boys, there was a lot going on in this house.  Brody and Wyatt loved having their buddies over!

Playing school...Nolan was the teacher.  Brody was excited to get a 300% from his teacher for his drawing!

Playing army guys is fun too!

Who wants to play doctor?  Ouch!  Wy is getting a shot!

Johnny Appleseed Day!

Last week Brody's class celebrated Johnny Appleseed Day!  I loved being able to volunteer for the event.  Brody traveled to 6 different centers and loved eating the homemade applesauce....yummy!

Brody got to taste apple pie, apples and caramel, dried apple chips, and homemade applesauce...of course apple juice to drink.

Each kiddo got to help smash up the apples for the applesauce.  I love the Johnny Appleseed hat!

Here he's pointing to his "Super Kid" award on his shirt.  He was delighted that he was chosen to wear this special pin.

Group picture with his teacher Mrs. Wagner!  We love her!

Happy 67th Birthday Grandma!!!

Yesterday we spent the whole day with the family celebrating my mom's 67th birthday!  We went bowling, swimming, and had dinner together.  We're all so thankful for my mom.  She always makes the most out of every situation we're in.  She is always finding ways to make things fun for her grandchildren.  We love you! xoxo

The whole gang had fun bowling!

Grandma with her 7 precious grandchildren!

My sister Theresa put together this awesome book of camping pictures from this summer.  We all had a weekend away with Grandma and Papa this year!  Fun times!

 

A Gecko!

Oh my goodness...the boys were soooo excited to find a gecko in our kitchen this weekend.  Right away they set up accommodations for this little guy.  We released him the next day to go and hunt for food!

Do you like all of the animals they got out to keep him company?

Be free little guy!

Aren't they cute??!!

My mom and I came home from a procedure I had and found these two sound asleep on the floor.  They are two peas in a pod!

Sea World!

Over Labor Day weekend we headed to San Diego with my mom and dad.  We spent two days at Sea World and one day at the beach.  We all had a fantastic trip together!  The weather was gorgeous (mid 70's)!

Slug bug + John Morrison pose (from WWE)!

Isn't OP Otter cute?!

Polar bears are one of Wy's favorite animals.  Mama and Papa bought him his own.

We LOVED all of the shows!

The sea lion show was my favorite!

Wyatt loved all of the SHARKS, SHARKS, SHARKS!

Awww...hugs!

Brody and Wy both loved the Pets Rule show!

I would highly recommend feeding the dolphins if you ever visit Sea World.  So much fun!

This is Beeker, the dolphin that was assigned to our family.

We love Mama & Papa!

Peace out baby!

Mission Beach!

We had the most enjoyable day at Mission Beach over the weekend!  We stayed all day long!  We had perfect beach weather!  We all love the beach...really makes me want to move there!!!

Wyatt loved these glasses he got at Sea World!

These two got right to work building sand castles!

We're so lucky that we could experience the beach with my mom and dad!  They're so much fun to be around!

Wyatt LOVED digging and digging!

Brody didn't quite fit in the hole. 

Wyatt fit perfectly!

A very nice lady offered to take our group picture...cheese!

Brody found this long piece of seaweed and was using it to jump rope!

He used it as a whip like Indiana Jones and...

to pull his little brother out of the sand pit!

Jerry added sand boobs to Brody (hee hee)!

Good times with Grandma!

This is Wyatt's impersonation of John Morrison from WWE!

They did a great job burying me!

We finished the day with a dip in the hotel pool and jacuzzi!  Such wonderful memories that we'll cherish forever!!!! xoxo
