Crazy Dust Storm

I LOVE monsoon season here, mostly when it rains, the smell, and the lightning. I have lived here my entire life and have never seen anything like this! The dust storm was nasty, windy, erie. We lost power for 2 hours, the air went dark and smelly like dust.

Happy 2nd Birthday Palmer!

Palmer is 2, those years have flown by...
Palmer and I share our Birthdays, July 1st. We are buds and I love my little snuggle bug. He is the happiest kid, talks your ear off, and loves to play with his big brother and do everything Rowan does!
Palmer is obsessed with Lightning McQueen, as Rowan was at 2... and still is!

Another Happy Birthday to ME & Palmer!
I will have to rain check my birthday this year, as i had a 6 day old newborn...

This is Palmer as we are leaving the store with another cake, sad day...crying on our birthday!

Happy 5th Birthday Rowan!

We can't believe our oldest son is already 5! His actual Birthday is June 30th, but I had a feeling I was going to have a baby around then, and didn't want to disappoint Rowan and his Birthday plans!
We gave Rowan the choice to get a big present and small party, or big party and small present... He decided a party wasn't as important as a new BIKE! So we took Rowan's best friends to see the Cars 2 movie, then a small party at our house! The kids were in love with the new Cars! It was so fun to see their faces glowing!

Rowan wanted a speed boat cake, this is all I could do....

Happy Father's Day 2011!

Kolby is the best dad! His boys love him SO much! Especially because he takes them fun places, and takes them fishing!

Rowan made this all by himself! Happy Dad Day!

LA Car Show

Rowan is so lucky to have his Dad take him to cool places! Kolby and his Dad "Papa" took Rowan and BFF cousin Greyson to a Hot Rod car show in LA. Fun to be with the boys!

Luna, Goodbye for now...

Kolby bought Luna for me when I was 23. She was our fist child, spoiled, overly loved, spoiled, spoiled. We treated Luna like one of those annoying women who carry their toy dogs around in their purses, but we carried around Luna. She was the runt of her litter, and sassy from the start. She went everywhere with us.

She loved the kids, but the more boys we had, the more she resented us from her lack of attention. We all felt so sad for Luna. Her perfect loved life was getting flooded by baby boys!
We decided with the move, baby #3, Luna needed a home with more attention. Thank you Linda from PetsMart for taking Luna in and making her a part of your pug family! We will miss Luna terribly.

Moving...

We officially sold our 1st home. Bittersweet day, as we loved our little house on Peartree Lane. We moved in with an empty house, very little furniture... now we are busting out! 3 kids, toys, toys, more toys... Time for some more space!
