Someone had a birthday on Monday….Carlos turned THREE! Amazing to think it’s been that long since we brought the little guy home from the hospital. First we had Holly, Maddie and Gabe come play for awhile and they brought a some cool bubble machines that the boys love. Nana and Papa got back from their trip and came over for noodles and meat and cake!

Some pics of the boys for Mother’s Day….it was a good one that started out rocky. Trey had thrown up in his bed during the night (but got up and was ready to take on the day like nothing had happened). Then Carlos got up and his eyes were a mess, he’d gotten sand in them yesterday but we got drops in case of pink eye. He should be back to normal tomorrow but today he looked like a prize fighter after a losing fight.
We had coffee with Margaret and Peggy this morning, which is always great and came home and worked in the yard for hours. Put the boys down and got some more done. The yard is looking nice.
Baby’s leaving on Tuesday…short stay but he’s been totally easy.
Tomorrow is Carlos’ 3rd birthday, can hardly believe it. He’s got preschool screening for thing in the morning, then speech lady’s coming and then Nana and Papa are coming over for “noodles and meat” from Sawatdy’s and the birthday celebration.

We had a new (and very temporary) addition! We got this little guy when he was just 1 day old on Wednesday and he’ll be leaving to another foster home on Tuesday. We are enjoying the baby time again for sure, still missing our previous baby too. He’s been so easy, still sleeping most the time and he doesn’t cry, he squeaks, it’s too cute.
Pictures: Carlos with his new spiked hairdo….Levi with his super short ready for summer haircut and Trey doing a little dance while pretending to talk on the phone with Nana and Papa.
So today….we took baby to visit his parents, dropped him off and headed to McDonalds for some lunch. The boys ate and I let them play to kill some time. When it was time to go though, Trey was up in the tubes and refused to come down. I sent Levi up to get him, he still refused, I tried to lure him out with his pacifier, he still wouldn’t budge. I hollered up into the tubes and heard “No Mama” as a response. We were running out of time and had to leave to pick up Vincent and I had to crawl up into the tubes and go get him. The higher I crawled, the higher he climbed and screamed “no” at me. I was NOT a happy mama by the time I got him…had to pull him down behind me and lead him out the door, screaming bloody murder, and put him in the car. OOOOOh, talk about angry mama. By that point I was sweaty (it was hella hot in the tubes), angry, had a headache and my knees were killing me. I’ll know better next time, Trey can’t handle the tubes at McDonalds!
Happy weekend all!

We had FUN IN THE SUN today…I got some burn going on (that will turn to tan in a couple days) but stupid me got all the kids sprayed down with sunscreen but not myself. Between Dee and I we got the whole lawn mowed so that was a great feeling. The kids loved the weather and we even got the water table out. The picture of Abbie is for Minda and Maggie who think poor Abbie isn’t on the blog enough. 🙂
Need a caption for the first picture….it’s Carlos, Alice and Levi…Alice is topless, Levi and Carlos are in their underwear and they are drinking out of red party cups. Looks like a college scene to me!
Enjoy the weather….

We had so much fun going to the beach with Gay and Rob! Trey wanted to walk to Seattle (and got close!), Carlos wanted to stomp clams so they squirted and Levi was jazzed to hang out and do whatever Rob was doing. It was also fun watching the dogs chase the balls and birds, and the birds chasing Bosco back.
They were super tired when we got home…

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

We actually went out to the big city on a date! Cousin Nathan kept the boys at his apartment (WOO HOO, you rock Nathan!) and got them all reved up on cupcakes and they hung out and watching movies and played games with Nathan, Heather and Rena. Dee and I went to a cd release party at the Tractor Tavern for Rachel Harrington and had a great time actually going out to eat, getting a couple drinks and listening to some good music. Sounds like a date to me!

We had so much fun and the boys did, too.

We had a great time tonight with our Sensaria party. Rebecca LeRoy was our representative and she’s great. We did a foot soak and order lots of all natural, incredible products. Dee and I will be smelling fresh like rosemary mint real soon here. It was really nice to see Robb and Rebecca, we don’t get to see them often enough. Also great to see the friends who stopped in for a foot soak!

Kids stayed up seriously too late, no school tomorrow but hopefully they won’t be dragging tail at soccer tomorrow. What a fun night, off to bed here….

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY, LEVI!!!!!

It’s hard to believe that our little guy is already 4, just seems like just yesterday we were just teaching him how to walk. Enjoy the pictures from the big day! He was all about the presents and cake, what 4 year old isn’t?! Good times!

We also had a visit today from some dear old friends (and by old friends I mean my friends Minda and Maggie, who I knew when I was 5 years old). We used to be neighbors and just got back in touch and it was such a nice afternoon to hang out with them and catch up. I truly enjoyed their company and it was great to see them! Hope we can road trip and visit them soon.

We’re exhausted….see ya!
