Sean's 3rd Birthday

Well Sean has been talking about his birthday for the last month, he was so excited when it finally got here. He is one spoiled boy, but so cute. The birthday celebrations all started Thursday (the day before his birthday) he had cupcakes and a little party at preschool. His teacher made him a birthday sign and a special crown that he wore all day. Then on Friday (his actual birthday) he got to open his first gift which was a pirate island which he played with all day, then he had hamburgers and chips and his favorite diet soda, he thought the soda was the best thing in the world. On Saturday we took off to Valencia where we went to meet up with Greg's family. We all went to Six flags where Sean got to see Joker, Robin, and Green Lantern (his super hero friends), after that he got to go ride roller coasters and a bunch of other rides. After Six flags we went back to Greg's parents house where he got to eat his awesome super hero cake (that Greg's mom made) and open all the rest of his presents, he got tons of spider man toys and a batman cave (its this cave that opens up and the super hero's can fight the mean guys), its so fun to watch him play and pretend. Also he got two light sabers so him and Greg can fight each other. He got an awesome Green Goblin from my dad which is his favorite mean guy to fight and beat up. I cant believe how big he is and how much he has changed in the last year, he could barely talk last year and now he says full sentences and very observant. We love you Sean. Happy 3rd Birthday!!

Easter!!

Well we had a fun filled easter weekend. It all started Friday I took the kids with my friend Jillionnie to a petting zoo where they had bunnies at this time of year. The kids loved petting all the animals and Sean even got to go on train ride and ride a horse. Poor Brianna got bit by a bunny I think the bunny thought she had food so he tried eating her, she was not excited about that. On Saturday we went to a breakfast and egg hunt at church. It was so fun to see all the kids runny after the eggs and see who could get the most. Brianna had no idea what was going on, she just wanted to chew on the eggs. Then on Sunday we headed up to Greg's parents house where the kids got spoiled to death and had a blast. We did an egg hunt in their yard where Sean found most of them but Brianna crawled around pretending to help. They got a ton of fun toys and kites from nana and papa. That is what Sean calls his grandparents. Thanks guys for everything you do. Greg's mom also made an awesome easter egg cake and Greg made great homemade rolls that everyone loved. It's so fun to see the kids growing up. Brianna has such a personality. She loves to clap her hands and try waving to you. She stills thinks Sean is the funniest thing in the world.  We had so much fun. Happy Easter!!

Hanging with the grandparents!!

So last weekend my parents came out to visit and we all ended up going to a weeding in Los Angeles at the temple. It was so much fun. After the wedding we all went out to Santa Monica to play at the beach and found a really cool playground. The kids had a blast. Then on Saturday my parents got a hotel and we stayed there and swam. Sean was so excited to swim and have his own huge bed. He kept saying "I love this." That is his new phrase when he really likes something. Brianna is getting good at cruising around and putting everything in her mouth. She is so cute. She is like her brother and loves to play outside. Also when every she sees animals or we make the animal noises she laughs out loud. So cute. We tried out this hat that Greg's mom made and it looked so cute on her. 

Nana and Papa visiting our house

a


Well its been quit awhile since we have seen any grandparents everyone is so crazy busy its hard to get together anymore. So we were so excited when Greg's parents came down Saturday to spend the whole day with us and the kids. The night before Sean was like Nana and papa coming, he couldn't wait. Brianna was also excited and tried showing off how she can walk with her little walker. She is so fun to watch grow and do new things. Saturday morning we all went to breakfast at Sugar Shack and then walked around main street where they were having a car show of all these old cars, it was cool to see all those. Then me, Jennifer, Sean, and Brianna walked to the end of the pier where we all got to see a huge crab, Sean was so excited and kept wanting to go back and look at the crab. The rest of the day we just hung out at our house and then for dinner they London broil which was so good so we ate dinner and played a game. Of course the game didn't really work out due to the kids being crazy. Sean now thinks he knows how to play chess after watching that short film with the old guy so Sean was showing papa how to play chess. Its always fun hanging out with the family.

Playing at the park

Well we all decided to get out and go on a nice run to the park and let the kids play for awhile. Me and Sean played like we were transformers saving a cat. Brianna had blast swinging and trying out the slide. When it came time to leave Brianna threw a fit cause she did not want to leave. It was so cute. The other day I went running and when I got back Sean said he wanted to go running, so Greg followed Sean as he took off running around the neighborhood, with his little headset so he could hear music. Greg said he went about a mile. When he got back he put his hands on his sides and was pretending to breath hard and he said "I'm sweaty" and wiped his brow. I was dying I couldn't stop laughing. I'm glad that he's learning that exercise is fun. They are both so cute and so much fun.  

St George Utah

So this weekend we took off to St George, Utah to go visit my cousin and her kids. It was so much fun.  We all had a blast. Sean loved running around with the two boys and Brianna discovered stairs, she figured out how to climb but could not get down. We went to this fun jump house that has all these air filled jumping house and then we went to a pirate arcade dinner. I wished we lived closer so we could all hang out more. Halle is their new baby girl and she was so cute and so mellow. The kids did great on the long drive so that gives us hope that maybe we can drive out to Idaho sometime. 

9 Months Old

Well Brianna is already 9 months old. She is starting to look so much cuter. I will be the first to admit, those last couple of pictures she was looking funny. We are having so much fun with her. This last month she has started to coo alot more and loves to play patty cake and peak a boo. She is so cute and her laugh makes me laugh. She is getting her two top teeth and wants to eat big people food so much. As you all know its really hard for them to eat big people food until they get some opposing teeth so we cant wait. So as you can tell she is still really small. We took her to the doctor for her 9 month check up and for weight she is only 5% so Greg came home trying to think of ways to fatten her up, so far nothing is working. She seems against food lately for some reason. Brianna is doing so well at getting around and trying to keep up with her brother. She also loves to eat leaves so we really have to keep a close eye on her. She is so much fun and we love her so much.
