Padres Game

Final stop...Petco Park for a Padres Game! Shawn's sister got us tickets on the 8th row right behing third base, they were amazing! The boys were so good and loved it...Peyton kept charming all the people around us and was scoring candy and food from them left and right! They even had fireworks after the game that the boys loved. Don't get me wrong, it was no Red Sox game, but it was still pretty fun!

The Zoo

Next stop, the zoo! I loved the zoo becuase we got to ride around on a bus the whole time and didn't have to walk hardly at all! Riley's favorite part of the zoo was the snake house, no big surprise there! Peyton LOVED all the animals and got so excited whenever we saw one. He also enjoyed chasing the peacocks around the park, which I have to admit was pretty entertaining to watch!

Sea World

Next stop...Sea World! I love Sea World, it never dissapoints! The boys loved all the shows and especially the water rides, although everybody got soaking wet. (mom was the only smart one that didn't go...) My favorite part was feeding the dolphins, it was so cool! I also loved petting the sting rays, I couldn't believe how friendly they were! The highlight of Riley's day at Sea World came when mom had a weak moment and bought him a huge sword that he carried around the rest of the trip. Leave it to my kid...the only weapon for sale in the entire park, and he found it!!!

Wild Animal Park in San Diego

We just got back from a nine day trip to San Diego- we had a blast! The boys did surprisingly well and loved it! Our first stop was the Wild Animal Park. The boys got to see them feed the gorillas, which they thought was pretty cool. They also loved the petting zoo and the carousel. (Riley had to ride it twice because he had to get the meanest animal...the crocidile! He wasn't satisfied riding a panda bear!)

Firestation Fieldtrip!

I took the boys to the Henderson Fire Department for a tour...it was so fun! They showed them a safety video, and showed how the firemen get all thier equipment on. Then they got to look at the firetruck and ambulance. We even got to see where they sleep and eat- and the best part, they were all so HOT! There is something about a man in uniform.....

Summer's Here!

So, I know summer hasn't officially started yet, but it sure felt like it this week! Monday was SO hot, we got our blow up shark pool and all of our sprinklers out. The boys had a blast! I couldn't believe how long they played out is the water, and how dirty they got. With all that water our yard quickly turned to mud, and they thought that was even more fun than the water! Hey, it occupied them for a couple hours, so I didn't really care how dirty they got!

More Soccer Pics....

Riley has decided he likes a new position in soccer: Goalie. I asked him why he liked it so much, and he told me "becuase you just stand there, mom. You don't have to run at all!" That's my boy!

Uncle Mark Turns 18!!!

Uncle Mark Turned 18 on Monday- the boys had a blast! We went out to dinner at Luceille's at the District, which was so yummy. The boys were a nightmare like usual (I am constantly reminded why we are never invited to do anything with our kids!) but somehow we made it through dinner with everybody's help! Then we went over to grandma's for ice cream cake and presents. Riley thought it was his duty to open all the presents, and Mark was a good sport about it. Grandma bought a huge singing balloon, that the kids were obsessed with. Every time you hit it, it starts singing. Needless to say, by the end of the night I wanted to dispose of Elmo permanantly! While Mark was opening presents Peyton was looking through Auntie Kimmie's purse and found her glasses and put them on, it was hilarious! He was walking around with her glasses on and her chapstick, grinning from ear to ear...I am a little worried about this one! Anyway, we had a great night, and the boys crashed on the way home....Happy Birthday Mark!

My latest obsession for boys...plaid shorts! What do you think, cute or way nerdy???

Sunday Stroll

On Sunday we took the kids out to the desert for a little hike. My dad gave Riley his very own REAL pocket knife (yes, he is only 4) and so he was dying to try it out (thanks dad...) So we went to the desert to cut some branches and flowers, etc. You would have thought it was Christmas for Riley! Along the way we came accross some Clydesdale (sp?) horses, and they were so friendly (and HUGE!) The boys thought it was so fun to pet them--Peyton kept saying, "hi dog!" (he calls almost every animal a dog...) Fun day!!!

IT'S A.....

We went in for our ultrasound yesterday, and they said...IT'S A BABY!!! We were so dissapointed, but they told us it was to early to clearly tell. BUMMER! So we will have to wait another four agonizing weeks to find out. At least the baby looked healthy and strong and was moving all over the place!
