The last few weeks (in phone pictures)

My beloved Blackberry decided to bite the dust, so Keith graciously upgraded my phone to something techy and hard to use, a droid of sorts. Although this phone makes me feel like an idiot, I am loving the camera. Here are some shots I have taken so far (Disclaimer: I am not a good photographer).

My kids sleeping. For the record, this is how my dad sleeps. Adorable right?

I stopped swaddling Leo for bedtime. I think he is enjoying the ability to stretch his limbs a bit.

This boy is a drooler. I swear he didn't get this from me. Okay, I'm lying. Total drooler.

My sis in law Elana wrote a book and it was published and placed on bookshelves June 7. We got to attend her Launch party and it was so fun. Dreams do come true. Her book can be found here: http://www.elanajohnson.blogspot.com. It is an awesome book. I got to read it early, and let's just say the ending put me into labor. No joke. I had Leo less than 12 hours after I finished POSSESSION. Read it!

The boys live for pancakes in the morning. They love to mix them up and put food coloring in them. And their latest trick? Flippin' them!

Keith allowed me to take the kiddos up to Boise for a week. We left the poor guy alone. I braved the trip by myself, those boys of mine are good travellers. We had loads of fun being spoiled by grandma and grandpa and playing with cousins. And can I just say . . . holy wedgie batman!

We trekked up to the cabin while we were there. It would have been fun if Leo would have slept at all that night. Seriously worst night he has ever had since coming home from the hospital (meaning he woke up twice, haha I know I am spoiled).

Grandma travelled back with us and went to the PG Strawberry Days parade. I heart parades. I don't know why. I heart my mom too. She is the bomb.com.

OWLZ games have started again! We have 12 season tickets and 300 OWLZ bucks to spend. That's a lot of corn dogs! And a lot of fun! It is my favorite thing to do in the summer. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

Leo Curtis got two teeth at the end of May and is working on getting eight more at the moment. That's right, I said eight. It's a joy, let me tell you. And he finally learned to sit up, kind of. OH yeah, and he is working on his mullet.

And of course, lots of trips to the Farm. Benson will ride the big horses now. He's a brave one. And I don't have pictures (I need to take some), but he is a pro at riding a two wheeler. He even does sweet tricks. I can't believe he is almost five. I am glad I made the choice to wait to send him to kindergarten next year, I want one more year with this sweet boy of mine.

A cute one of my babe just for fun. He is so cute, it kills me.

We celebrated Father's Day. We love our Dad. He is the most fun and we are so lucky to have him. I can't think of a better man to raise little men. We love you!

Well, until next time! I better go buy a new charger, so I can keep the posts coming. I have been missing the blog!

Lagoon

Remember when Lagoon was LAME? A few weeks ago, Wendy invited our family to go to Lagoon with their family. I really had to coax Keith into saying yes. We remembered Lagoon being pretty boring, but really wanted to party with the Parduhns (who wouldn't?), so when my mom and dad offered to watch Leo so we could concentrate on the older boys we agreed to go. It was such a fun day. We all had a blast. I highly recommend taking your children to Lagoon (especially if they are 36 inches or taller, Griff is 38) because they can go on almost anything. We played until we couldn't play anymore, but didn't take enough pictures.

This was my fav ride. The kiddie swings (ok, so my favorite ride is actually the adult swings, but that was one ride the littles couldn't go on). So maybe our feet touched the ground the whole time, but it was awesome.

The boys loved anything with a steering wheel. Their favorite was the bumper cars, but I didn't take any pictures of them driving those. They liked the boats though.

It was so fun not having to worry about Leo and the weather was perfect. I loved soaking up the fun with my big boys. They are growing up so fast. *tear

Here they are waiting with their cousins to ride the airplanes (minus Sophie who was napping on her dad at the time). Did I mention we love the Parduhns? These kids have so much fun together, but not nearly as much fun as the adults do!

Doesn't Keith look happy? He actually loved it! We will definitely go again! Hopefully with the Parduhns again!

If you are on the fence about going, GO! I hope you have as much fun as we did! We love Lagoon!

I'm not pregnant

Last time I took such a break from blogging, I was in a pregnancy induced coma. Luckily for me and all those that have to put up with me and my kids-we still just have the three. Whew. Unluckily for me, my computer started burning holes in my charger (awesome), so I have been computerless. I guess I could blog in our cave and storage room that holds our main computer, but you have to hold the keyboard and mouse on your lap, so it's not the best scenario. Man, I need an IPAD.

Anyhoo-I wish we had loads of fun stuff to share, but mostly just pictures of our happy every day life. Life is so good (Examples below):

My lifetime wish of taking my kiddos to the Tulip Festival was finally fulfilled. It was everything I hoped it would be, except the weather was never good enough at night so Daddy couldn't come. Don't my children looked thrilled to be there?

The Transformers finished their soccer season. Benson was devastated about it being over. He did such a good job and loved to play defense. He was the only child that wouldn't ask to sit out, he wanted to play the whole game. I just loved the whole experience and can't wait for next season. Next year Griffin and Benson will get to play on the same team.

Leo debuted his beach body and went for his first swim.

And the matching swimsuits finally got to be seen all together.

Leo was a fan. My sis Mari and I have playdates every Friday. It is pretty much the best thing that ever happened to me. It is fun to see her and she is super helpful with the boys. Win-Win!

Being a mom of three = Fun! Exhaustion! Daily Meltdowns! Loud! Amazing! Stay tuned for more posts.
