See you all soon...and again after Monday!

So, with no husband in sight...and a 14 hour road trip with my 3 kids...I, needless to say, have 1,000,000 (spoken like Dr. Evil) things to do.

Google reader has 1,000,000 (same accent) things for me to read but I'm pretty sure the tiny town we're headed to doesn't have the internet.

I have 1,000,000 (L.O.V.E Mike Meyers) things to blog about but alas they wait until next week!

Can't wait to see you all on Monday and then it's off in the the wild blue yonder!

Catch you all next week! Hope it's a great one for you!

The Fourth!

I love the traditions of the Fourth! Hope yours was as good as ours!

Have a good weekend!

Please let those Star Wars...Staaaayyyy!

The party...We had a great time!

We wore Padawan costumes, got light sabers and met Darth.

We ate light saber cupcakes, sipped on sludge from the swamps of Dagobah (sherbet in Sprite) and used the force to put out 'trick' candles!

We ran, jumped and smashed!

They went home sticky, tired and smiling...Mission Accomplished!

Some names we came up with for Poor Dave in the Black costume on a 96 degree day...

Darth Daver

Summer Darth (short sleeves)

Sweaty Vader

Darth Sweaty

He did a great job and lost 4 pounds of water weight in about 20 minutes!

Today's Funnies

Two funny things happened today...well maybe just to me!

My sweet husband did SO much today...really - he was a HUGE help! It all ended with him doing dinner! (Which he NEVER does! Really so nice!)
He ran to the grocery store and then, when it was ready, he called us all to the table. He had fixed steaks, hot dogs and tilapia. So we had steak with a side of hot dog and fish...or Surf, Turf and Turf as we called it! Such a masculine meal!

Then after tubs, Thatcher had had too much birthday and was bouncing off the walls. I pulled him aside and said "You're starting to get on my nerves" to which he replied "Nerds...Yum!" We laughed all the way to bed. I'm so glad that he has the patience with me to remind me of his age.

All in all...A Great, carnivorous day!

The Cutest Baby EVER!

So you've heard by now that He's Here!!! And Well, we

Can't. Take. Our. Eyes. Off. Him.

I'm sure you can all see why! Welcome Aiden...to the world!

There's no one like him in the world!

Happy Father's Day Bapa-Tee!

What a weekend!

Saturday

7am....hit the pavement with Edie...Thanks Edie!

8:30...Garage sale where I bought THE CUTEST BEACH CRUISER BIKE for a 10 year old girl...too bad I don't have one of those!

12 noon... Preschool wrap-up picnic at Washington Park. If you haven't been up there in a while, you ought to - it's a great park complete with 3 inch deep creek that has magnetic powers on little boys! We over stayed over played and got over sunned...it felt SO GOOD!

4pm...pedi's with my sisters! Then the Atom hatched open and we had dinner with my nuclear family. We all piled into my mom's car and cruised the two houses we lived in while growing up! It was so much fun! I LOVE MY PEOPLE!

Sunday

A wild hair and my crazy friend Misty convinced us to join them at the Dugway Geode Beds. We thought it was a 90 minute drive and then got there 3 1/2 hours later had a great hour of play and then drove the 3 1/2 hour ride home! Longest day of my life...7 hours in the car with 5 kids (our friends came with us, that was the day's saving grace!) We brought home a box full of whole and pieces of fantastic geodes!

We ran to my Mom's for Sunday dinner and now I'm SO glad to be home! What a Weekend!

Yipee, this is 100 for me...

Here's my Day in the Life Post!

Enjoy!

And

Dinner time! It's my 'exhale moment'. It's when I get to sit down, just me and my 3 sweet kids, talkin' about our day, our favorite things, our future plans (all the way to tomorrow!) or anything else that strikes our fancy! I LOVE Dinner time!

Bapa-Tee, so lucky are We!

It's my Dad's birthday! Happy Birthday Dad! Let's talk about him.

My Dad is the most consistent person I know.
He's deliberate, considerate and still worries about his grown up kids!
He's been given great responsibilities in his life both in business and his service rolls.

He is a creature of habit and he has a quirky sense of humor.
My Dad is a wonderful hug giver and I'm glad to have learned that from him!

His favorite thing is CARS: shopping for them, maintaining them, looking at them, etc.
This board lives in his "Man Room"!

Thanks for the love, example and wisdom, Dad!
We Sure Love you! Hope your day is Great!
