Dirt Pie

We spent Memorial Day at Amy and Gary's and had a blast. All the boys play really well together and Brooklyn is always excited to see her Baby BFF McKenna. It was Jeremy's Birthday so I brought his absolute favorite dessert, Oreo Dirt Pie. Anytime I ask him what he would like for dessert this is what he wants. Apparently Brooklyn loves it too. I didn't find out until later that you shouldn't give chocolate to babies under one, oops. For whatever reason Brooklyn was bib-less. Thanks to my fabulous new washer and dryer their wasn't an Oreo to be seen after this outfit was washed! This is the washer and dryer that makes me LOVE doing laundry. It also provides family entertainment to watch the clothes spinning around because the lid is see through. It can also hold 29 towels or something crazy like that. This was a selling point to me because if I can't wash the sheets plus the mattress pad and maybe quilt all together it's just not worth the time. I know Mom you are shaking your head and thinking none of the stuff is getting clean but I beg to differ!

Anyway here's an action shot of the boys on the massive water slide!

Can't wait for summer!

Weston loves the splash pad! Brooklyn would rather sit on the sidelines and watch. Just being the princess she knows she is! She loves to be in the pool but not a fan of water splashing all over her. I would have to agree.

Bowser

Weston loves to dress up. Here he is telling me he wants to be Bowser from Nintendo.

Not sure I did exactly what he had in mind. But I don't have to many goo goo bowser costumes laying around. Spiderman, Buzz, Batman, Superman, Cowboy those things we have. But when he start using his imagination that's where we get into trouble! ha ha!

Thankfully he has already decided he wants to be Darth Vader for Halloween. That one I can do or at least buy somewhere. We'll see if he stays with this I think it would be really cute to have Brooklyn be Princess Laia. He also wants a Star Wars birthday party for when is finally 'big and five!"

Back to the Nintendo characters, he only plays Mario when he is with Hunter and Hayden. He does have it on his Gameboy but usually only plays that on a long trip somewhere. However, he talks about these characters like they are his best friends. Mario, Luigi, Loshi (yoshi), Bowser and Princess Peach. Princess Peach is usually who I get to be when we are playing. Cause Mom your a girl so you have to be the girl. Makes sense to me! Yoshi is usually always with us. Driving next to us in the car or flying to our house in his Shrek airplane. We went to eat one night and he just knew Yoshi was going to be there. When we got to the restaurant he was so sad that Yoshi didn't come. He told me he must not have had the right directions. I thought these guys were all invisible so I pointed to a table and said "look there's Yoshi right there" "Mommy he's not here you would see him" Oh, well of course I would. Guess you're right Weston we need to get him directions. Later that night he drew out a map to our house that he wanted me to mail to Yoshi. Weston's imagination is quite large and I need to make one really long post all about his Shrek house. Don't you dare ask if Shrek lives there. That will get you a very frustrated no!

W.W.W. or Wendy's Wedding Weekend

Wendy and Kyle got married in Temecula, CA just outside of San Diego. It was gorgeous! We stayed a winery and had such a good time.

It made me want to get married all over again, to the same man of course! Such a beautiful and romantic setting.

Wendy was my roommate our senior year of college. In fact we both worked at a church daycare but we hadn't really met officially. We knew Brooke in common but that was about it. One day we finally worked together and she needed a roommate and my roommate had just gotten married so the first time we met we decided to live together! She is definitely one of my life long friends.

Growing up to fast

Weston and I were outside and I wanted to get some pictures of Weston being Weston. If that makes any sense. He loves to play ball and be silly. I think captured some of that. I was looking back at pictures of when Brooklyn was born and I can't believe how much he has changed. His face doesn't have as much of that baby face look anymore. He's four now and I remember thinking when Hunter turned four that they don't seem so little anymore. I feel like I have a big boy now. I just keep thinking that next year is my last year with him before he starts school and no way can that be true. I can't even get started on that fact that Brooklyn will be one in June. That went by even faster. Weston has become obsessed with being 5. He told someone the other day at the store that "I'm almost five". Whoa! Slow down there buddy I'm not wishing this year away for anything. I asked him why he wants to be five so bad and he said "because when you're five your big!"

Several times older ladies have come up to me and commented on the kids and several times they have said "enjoy those babies." I hope I am enough. Maybe this is the Lord's way of telling me that even though you had a tough week with them they aren't little very long.
