4th of July

We went to San Diego for the 4th of July! We had so much fun. We spent most of our time at the beach and the water and weather were AMAZING! We all got sunburned, despite multiple applications of sunblock. The kids played in the sand most of the time. Sadie was not a huge fan of the ocean water. Maybe it was too cold for her! She loved playing in the sand though. This is just part one of pictures. I  just took this picture of grandma and grandpa San Diego with our kids at the beach and had to post it. I LOVE this pic! Enjoy!

Sadie Turns One!

Sadie turned one year old on June 9th! I can't believe how fast the time flies by. She is absolutely a joy to have in our family. She has such a sweet spirit, and she is always smiling! She has the happiest eyes that twinkle and sparkle like you've never seen before. She is not even close to walking, but stands up every now and then. She crawls really fast though. And one of her favorite things is to say "Dada" when I tell her to "Say Mama". She thinks it's hilarious! She is becoming full of personality and she's a fireball. She's getting into everything, and does NOT take breaks during the day, except when I put her down for naps. She's not a huge fan of anything to eat , she just likes to drink from a bottle or sippy. We are so glad she's in our family and we love her so much! Oh, and we went out to eat at Oreganos for dinner on her actual birthday and just sang to her at home with cupcakes. I was partied out after Logan's party!

Logan Turns 5!

On May 31st my sweet little Logan turned five years old! He was so excited about his birthday party, which we had at Peeta Pieta (Peter Piper Pizza). I made him let me snap a few shots before we went in for his party, and he was not happy about that..... He had so much fun. His best friends and cousins were all there to celebrate with him. Logan is so smart. He is starting kindergarten in August, and so excited. He still cuddle with me on the couch every now and then, and still gives me hugs and kisses, which I adore. He has always been my little cuddle bug and I'm so sad that he's growing up. Logan, you are a great kid, such a big helper, and so sweet and loving. We LOVE you!

Mr. MB-Freakin-A!

 After two long, dreadful, extremely difficult years, Brian graduated from W.P. Carey's school of business at ASU with his Masters in Business Administration and Marketing! This was such an amazing journey. There were so many nights that I seriously wanted him to just quit, and just be home with me and the kids. So many nights when I wished he could be hanging out with us rather than working on a paper all night. So many nights when I wished he could just be getting the rest he needed rather than writing a paper until 2 in the morning. BUT......

 When I saw him walking on the stage, shaking hands with whoever this guy is, it was all worth it.

 I am so proud of Brian, for all his determination, hard work, and passion for education. I know this will be a great achievement that will benefit our family for the rest of our lives.

 This woman is one lucky gal!

 And all the lonely nights when daddy was at school, these two boys were extra patient, and good for mommy.

 And my amazing family for all of their help and support throughout the last two years. I could NOT have done it without my family and friends.

I love you all, and I'm so thankful and blessed to have you in my life! And Brian, YOU DID IT!

Celery for Breakfast

Okay, so it may appear that I don't feed my kids breakfast, but I swear, I offered them like five things before they chose this.

They were so happy with celery. Not even Peanut butter on it! Weird. Definitely didn't get that from me!

Easter

Okay, is it already JUNE???!!! Where did the time go? Well, I'm starting where I left off! Easter was great this year, as always. Logan woke up bright and early Sunday morning and immediately looked out the bedroom window to our yard and was looking for the easter eggs. (Sadly there were NONE out there, because we have 8am church and the easter bunny wasn't up that early!) But the easter bunny did leave him a basket of goodies for them! That evening we went to my parents house where the REAL easter bunny came and Logan and Jaxon had so much fun gathering their eggs up.  We took the boys to Build a Bear the day before and let them pick out their own animal that they wanted stuffed. Jaxon chose an adorable dog and Logan chose a rabbit. They were in HEAVEN! Loved every second of it! I made them matching ties, and of course Sadie looked beautiful in her sweet easter princess dress. When I went to take pictures of the kids with their easter outfits on I could only find one of the ties I made.... Of course. Anyway, enjoy!
