Family Friday!

Our family day at the Butterfly Pavilion...our second try! We first tried to go on Saturday night but they close at 4:15pm and we arrived at 4:20pm. So we chose to go on Sunday morning instead. Rex was fascinated with all the bugs and with Rosie. Mommy is terrified of Rosie and last time we were there I didn't know Rosie was there and when I saw her I ran out of the room (no not screaming, just fast)! So of course I have to have a boy that wants to hold her so I recruited Popa to help out and I mustard all the courage I had to stay there and take pictures.


 So here is Rex 'holding' Rosie!


 Here's all the kids looking at the other bugs they have and spiders. Yuk! I hate this room!


Just some cute pictures of a butterfly and a flower!

She was terrified of all the butterflies and cried and freaked out the whole time. I finally was tired of it so I made her sit in the stroller that meant more crying and screaming but then she fell asleep and all was good. (Baby J)


CiCi's Pizza for lunch! Ummm...Mac & Cheese Pizza! They had a balloon man there and Rex got a snack and thought it was so much fun. It lasted just the day before it was popped and had to be put in the trash.


Dylan playing with his ray gun!


Playing with the balloons. Baby J got a flower balloon and they played like this the whole time at the restaurant and then at home again. Crazy Kiddos!

We had such a good time taking all the kids around for the weekend. I was really tired after all of our activities but it was worth it. Rex enjoys spending time with his cousins.

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
