Cute bOyS!!

At the beginning of this month Jaiden rode his first roller coaster and we bought the DVD to watch over and over again =D Of course we havent done that because Rylan gets soo sad and mad that he didnt get to ride. So this weekend we were at Chuckie Cheese and they had a little ride that moves like a roller coaster and the view of the ride. We put the boys on it knowing Ry would love it AND HE DID =D i was cracking up watching them crack up on the ride (I notice more and more with kids how contagious laughing really is) Heres them riding it!






Then sunday my side of the family were due for another family photo since we have two more family members (Brandon, Celestials Husband, and Ryan, Crystals Husband) We went out to Red Rock and took some, Jaiden and Rylan were HUGE posers!! I couldnt believe it! They were too funny. Here are some of Jai posing after the family pictures. I normally take my camera everywere but of course I left it so these arent the best but still ADORABLE!!

Girls Night!!

I have 3 friends that the 4 of us girls were really close all through High School. We have of course since life moves on, not hung out very often as we should. Last I hung out with all 4 of us was Taras College Graduation a few months back. So we decided we better get on it. All our lives are at totally diffent stages but when we get together all that goes away and were all just Best Friends again. We took a girls night and all rode together (Cause thats always more time to talk =D ) to get some BJ'S PIzza Yummy!! We were cracking up by the end of the night of course>> Especially with Amber around haha! Then we went and Saw Siterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (We thought it apropriate for 4 best friends) Amber and Ash werent quite as into it as me and Tara.. Over all it was LOTS of fun!! Girls Nights can never go wrong in my opinion!! =D

Cinnamon Rolls

My mom has always been one to make homemade bread and rolls and stuff like that. I always knew I would occasionally do it too, But so far 3 years of being married and on my

own and I have not done anything like that completely from scratch. So I decided Id try. Last night the boys and I made Homemade Cinnamon Roll with no help from Grandma!! Yeast and all, completely form Scratch!! Im pretty happy with how they turned out too! Here so pictures from Petes phone of us and the finished product!

Everyone needs a little pravacy

Rylan has not had any interest in starting potty training, and I was ok with that because I WAS NOT looking forward to it. Jaiden just took so long, and it was soo frustrating. Just soo everyone understands.. Rylan would sit on the potty every once in a while nad then about 1 second later the boy would stand up and say all done. Never even really trying at all (Note the boy has actually peed in the potty only about 1 time out of about 30-40 times sitting on it). So this weekend he decides he want to sit on potty and I of course let him but think nothing of it. Once he sits down I have to run and check on breakfaast, only a few seconds later he says "ALL DONE" I go in to check on him and what'da know THE BOY DID IT!! YAY!! So, ive come to the conclusion that he likes a little privacy! He only goes when I leave him alone for a minute.He wore underwear saturday and sunday (not at church) and all the time when hes at home. He has been doing AWESOME!! I hope everything keeps going this well. Although we still gotta work on #2, he doesnt have that one down yet!

Getting older every minute

Jaiden has liked taking showers with Pete since forever it seems like (Rylan not untill recently) But just a few days ago Jaiden decided he needed to take one all by himself. So I plop him in thinking ill be reaching in getting all wet in just a minute to wash him up. But I pop my head back in and he was all leathered up head to toe and starting to rinse off. AMAZING. My 3 year old is becoming more and more independant all the time that is totally amazes me. Of course every day since he tells me I need to shower all by myself and yesterday He was a little upset that he had to help Ry shower first before he could have the shower to himself (Because of course Rylan wants to do everything Jaiden does, when it comes to bib boy stuff)

Day 3, Jump 'n' Jammin

Day 3, and day to go home =( We needed something fun for last day with the cousins, something we cant do in Vegas, and something to do to wear the kids out so they sleep most the way home!! Jump'n'Jammin was just the place. It was a big Warehouse with all kids of stuff to do! It had slides and foam balls to shoot and throw around, tunnels to climb through!! Pletty much a HUGE Burger King Play area.. and then some =D We were there 3 hrs and the kids didnt stop once. They had soo much fun!! Man whoever invents these kinds of places are GENIUS! Once it was time to go, it wasnt the easiest thing getting the kids to leave! Rylan curled down on the ground and broke into tears! Jaiden wasnt too bad ( Although I did brib him with a ice cream cone =D works like a charm!) We went next door for lunch and poor Jai was exhausted he couldnt even make it through, he was laying on my lap within about 5 min! If anyone know of anything like this in Vegas, please let me know. ... We did get to go to the pump it up place for a party once, But they are only open to the public on week days while im working =(

2nd Day was Knott's Berry Farm

We had to get a picture here =)



Heres me and Jai about to ride the roller coaster!






Rylan scared on this one









My little family!




So Sunday morning we decided we would do Knott's Berry Farm!! Glad we chose it. It turned out to be a blast for the kids, and us too of course!! Jaiden Rode his first REAL roller coaster. YES, hes 3 and this thing was fast and spun around too. No flips but other than that, the real deal. They had a video recorder at the front of each seat. We bought the video of it cause it was too cute but I cant figure out how to upload it on here =( Rylan had a fun time too, he only cried on 1 ride. It was like a small big shot =) hes not ready for that yet!! Jaiden was soo excited about roller coaters he wanted to ride them all (Of course hes not big enough though). We all got to do the log ride,
and the boys loved getting slashed and wet!!

Sea World

Just about every year we have gone to Disneyland with Petes family. This year we headed off to Sea World. My kids have never gone and its been so long for Pete and I we couldnt remember much about it. So Friday pete worked a half day and I spent the morning loading to car and getting everything ready (Petes parents were awesome enough to pick up the boys @ 8am, which meant we got our First Road trip ALONE ever!! It was nice!!) Saturday morning we headed off to Sea World. It was a blast. and it wasnt too hott, just humid =( The boys were LOVING IT. Seeing all the animals. When they were looking at the sea lions one actual came and sat up on a rock RIGHT NEXT to the glass! Later at night when it wasnt soo crowded we walked down to the killer wale tank!! It was a momma and two babies, just not soo small. They were totally showing off =D Swimming around and playing and bumping into each other. Then one came RIGHT in front of the kids and hung out for a few minutes like he was talking to them, moving his mouth and all!! AMAZING!! Definately my favortie part and of course my camera was dead =( ugh! Overall a VERY fun day at Sea World but thats a place I wouldnt recomend doing every year. Its like go back once you've forgotten how cool it was. Cause if you went all the time it would kill all the thrill!!
