FaMiLY FuN WeeK 2009!!!

so we just had our FaMiLY FuN WeeK a couple weeks ago....with the very sad exception that Diana and her family were not there! booo on school starting early in AZ!....but the rest of us tried to still have a good time without them....hard, i know! it was also sadly Carrie's last week with us before they moved to Michigan...boooo on school again! here's what we were up to!:

Monday August 10th

...Blainey and i were both sick, so we didn't do anything!...

Tuesday August 11th

BOOMERS!! we all LOVE boomers. the kids all have such a great time and it is a good deal for a big group like us. the kids got to go on rides, go golfing, go-karts...what more could you ask for?

Blaine's first time driving the car on his own...he was real careful and slow, drives just like his daddy!

so then mommy had to show him a good time!

and of course our super last fun day with Kaylie in california! cutie girl~we miss you...Carrie too

Wednesday, August 12th

on wednesday we went to LEGOLAND. very fun. Blaine of course has been OBSESSED with legos for the past couple months, so this was a dream trip for him. we had all been there before...except Jake, it was his first time!...but this time was much more fun now that Blaine is into legos. we loved it so much that we even decided to get year passes...and we play on using them frequently!

wait...i thought I was the mummy!

th break dancers in NY were BY FAR my favorite part of all the mini cities! how cool is that. and the guys on the floor even spin!and of course...Blaine taking on DARTH VADER!!!! with a little help from R2-D2!

Thursday August 13th

on thursday we went to the lake! sooo fun. too bad it was CRAZY windy which meant the water was sooo choppy. i have never seen water that bad before. but we still managed to have a good time. and surprisingly enough, we ALL landed our best tricks! yay us

...i LANDED a 360 over the wake! FINALLY!!!! and not only once, but THREE TIMES!!!!
and after much convincing, we got Blaine out in the water! and of course once he was out there, he had a total blast! way to go stud. one day you will be rippin the wake just like your mommy!

Friday AUGUST 14th...

(Happy Birthday to my sister Karen!)

on Friday we went to the Beach. it was so much fun. the kids had a blast playing in the sand and of course playing "tag" with the waves. as soon as the water would come up, they would all run away! so fun and cute

Bustin a move

i still hold onto the hope that one day Blaine will be a dancer...and i have to admit, the kid has some rhythm and some seriously sweet moves. here are just a couple pictures from a more recent dance session!
this is his robot, pop and lockin!

Fun Friday Night

On Friday we decided to go up to disneyland for the night and meet up with our friends the Burch's. so we drive up there in awful friday "after work" traffic, wait to park at the top of the huge disneyland parking structure, wait forever to take the tram into the park....wait in line to get into the park only to find out that our passes were still BLOCKED that day! grrrrrr. i hate when i read the calendar wrong. luckily for us our friends were up for anything, so we just decided to hang out at downtown disney which was a blast.

downtown disney always has lots of musicians set up playing, so we listened to this one guy most of the time...kind of like an out door concert, and the kids loved him. (the dad's...not so much!) he would sing blues-y stuff with kid rhymes mixed in...kind of cool! and the kids just wanted to dance the night away, and they were adorable!

and of course we couldn't go to downtown without making a stop at the mega lego store...here the kids are posing with a big lego darth vader! thanks friends for the fun night!

Home Made RootBeer

For Part of Jake's birthday, he wanted to have a "home made rootbeer party!" so we did and i learned one very important thing...

NOTE TO SELF.....

DO NOT MAKE HOME MADE ROOTBEER IN THE HOUSE!!!!!

it was very cool and fun to make, but it SPLISH SPLASHED all over the kitchen. everything was sticky for a while! yuck! BUT it was a good thing the rootbeer turned out yummy! totally worth it

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKE

We wanna wish Happy birthday to Jake....this is his last year in his 20's!! haha...so Blaine and i made him a birthday sign out of Legos. Then we surprised him with a trip on TRAIN down to Oceanside for a day of fun out in the sun!

The train ride was super fun and BEAUTIFUL

Then we walked down the pier to go to Ruby's for lunch. it was very yummy and super fun. Hope you had an awesome day babe. we love you..Happy Birthday!

Super "Entertaining" Playdate!

For some while now Blaine has wanted to have a playdate with BOTH Kameryn and Londyn....his reason: "Mom, i just don't know who to marry! i love Kameryn, but Londyn is just so cute with a cute little voice!"...NO JOKE....this is what my 5 year old is worried about! (but hey, both girls are ADORABLE, so i don't blame the kid!)

so we had them both over today in what turned out to be one of the most entertaining playdates i have ever witnessed. it started with the kids wanting to play Pirates on Blaines Pirate ship...the girls wanted to dress up like princesses, but since Blaine is a boy and we obviously don't have girl dress up dresses, they settled for pirate and cowgirl costumes! after finding treasure....Blaine (the Daddy) became very ill, and needed to go to the hospital (just play!)...so the Mommy Kameryn drove Blaine to the hospital where he was treated by Dr. Londyn...with a kiss from Mommy to make it all better, everything turned out ok! Blaine is so lucky to have such great girlfriends to take care of him!thanks for such a fun playdate!

Can you say....OBSESSED?!?

Blaine has a new fascination....

LEGOS....LEGOS....Everything LEGOS.......everywhere i look LEGOS...

he will break apart and re-build the same thing over and over again...20 times a day!!but hey...it keeps him busy....and HAPPY!
