30/52

FUN FACT:  I started a new gym and I dropped Trev off at the child watch for the first time.  When I picked him up I asked him a bunch of questions to see if he had fun.  One of the questions was if he made any new friends.  He said yes and I asked if he remembered their names.  Trevin said "Uh Uh yes.  One name uh uh Boy.  And other name Girl"

House pictures (for Katie and Cody!)

So I have been requested to showcase my house even though we are just renting.  While I was visiting New York, Katie kept asking me to explain the layout of my house.  So, I promised I would take pictures to make it easier for her to figure out.  Cody did this recently and then proceeded to tell me it was my turn.  So here you go ladies!  You can also play the fun game of "Where's Boo".  She is in almost every picture..

The view when you first walk in.  The living room, dining room, and kitchen are pretty much one big open space

The living room.  I would probably change the color of the walls if we owned this house.  But I can deal..

 My couch that no one is allowed to sit on!

 My fun wall.  The orchid used to be in full bloom.  Just lost all the flowers so it looks a little sad.

Dining room

Kitchen

View from the kitchen

The master bedroom is actually on the first floor.  I was worried with the kids being upstairs but it is actually nice.  We can hear them perfectly fine if they need us.

Door to the backyard. 

The garage is actually in the back of the house.  We don't use it to park cars...we use it as a playroom/arts n crafts zone.  When I have play dates, that is the favorite place for the kids to hang.

There is a spare bedroom inside the garage along with a bathroom and shower

Side yard

 We are lucky to have a huge grass area in the back of the garage

 And plenty of concrete for scooter riding in front of the garage.  Our backyard is all blocked off so the kids can go nuts and I don't have to worry about them escaping.  I just have to worry about them breaking their legs on the ramps.

The boys room upstairs.  We separated the bunk beds so they have their own personal space now.  They love it!  They talk to each other for awhile at night before finally falling asleep.  This is fine by me...as long as they don't bother us!

The second bedroom upstairs is used as the office/wipeout zone.  Yes, the boys like to pretend the couch is part of the TV show 'Wipeout'.  

 All the rooms have their own bathroom which is nice when we have company

There you go ladies!  Who's next??

29/52

FUN FACT:  Ry came up to me and said "Mama, how do you spell SO and MUCH".  I told him and he disappeared.  He came back a few minutes later with a drawing for me.  On it he had written "I love Mama so so so much".  Sweet boy.

Beach Day with Trev

Jason, Teresa, and Ryden went to Catalina Island for the day, so I took Trevin to the beach for some solo time.  I only got two pictures, but they show how much fun we had.  

Swimming in a bucket

 And who doesn't bring a lollipop to the beach??

I enjoyed my solo Trevin day.  He is much calmer when he doesn't have a big brother around to pick on.  Yes..he picks on Ryden.

Flashback Friday- Jan-June 2006

New Year's celebrations (although this may have been to ring in 2007)

 Jason got to hang with some of his skateboard heros

Many pictures of Molly Boo

 Back to Vegas we go...

 Dog beach

Jason attempted several times to take me snowboarding to which I never got the hang of...at least we would get the cabin for free due to my hook up from my job (oh I miss those job perks)

 I would drag Lindsey with me so we could 'suck' together

 Lindsey and I were much happier drinking beers in the lobby

Back at the beach house to watch the California sunsets.  And to clear things up...this was Jason's boss's beach house which we claimed as our own when they were on vacation.

Back to AZ to visit the fam.  I do believe Sara was pregnant with Jacob around this time.  Jacob is now SEVEN.

 Cute little Ben

Katie before she was Mrs. Cupcake

 Then a visit to Phx for the birthday girl.

Another camping adventure.  I remember we brought the dogs...then immediately drove them back home (yes our campsite was that close) because they weren't ready to camp.

Molly and Tyson...friends forever.  This was when I used to dress Molly in ridiculous outfits.  Poor Boo.

 My first trip to New York.  Cody met up with us.  And then we attended Jason's childhood friend's wedding.  

The bride and groom (whom I'm meeting for the first time...I seem to be getting along quite nicely) 

 The wedding

 I remember this sweet little boy talking to me.  His mom later told me he was flirting with me.  I guess that's why he asked to take a picture

The end of the night....

Next up?  Wine party at our house.  And another fashion police outfit for Molly
