Pool partay for Logan...

Saturday our good friends little boy turned 5 and had a party at Scooter's Jungle and then an "after party" at their house with swimming and cocktails.  Mariella used to be a bartender in Hollywood so she can make some killer drinks! We figured out that she was bartending at a bar/club on the same night that mommy and daddy were there on our first date!! Small world:) Daddy took the kids to Scooter's Jungle while mommy caught up on sleep and then I met up with the family at the after party with Nana.  The kids had a blast and Presto was literally in the pool for 4 hours straight.  I said "do you want to get out and hit the pinata buddy?" His answer "No fank you".  Bentley was perfectly content most of the time playing inside and we all enjoyed Mariella's cocktails(mama had some mocktails!!).  Awesome day with awesome friends:)

our bartender!!

Candy mayhem!

Presto loved the "pirate ship"

Purty Nana and B!

They had Freebirds catered and B LOVED it!

Phia was busy with her babies and her purse when she wasn't in the pool:)

Nana had a few cocktails too:)

Sidewalk paint fun...

After I picked the kids up from school on Friday I made some sidewalk paint for them.  Cornstarch, water, food coloring...walla! Endless amounts of fun.  I was bummed Bentley was napping and missed all the fun but the older munchkins loved it...and mama did too:)

Soccer time...

We enrolled both kids in soccer.  It's a 6 week program and their first game was on Friday.  They both LOVED it!! Phia was separated into the bigger kids group and Presto was in a group with his friend Devon from school.  Nana and Nonno came to watch and the park close enough to the train tracks that we could see the train when it went by which Bentley loved.  They ran drills, taught them how to fall, and they played mini games.  The kids have not stopped talking about it and we love that we can take them both to the same place at the same time so we don't have to split up...

Mother's Day 2013

Daddy of course spoiled me rotten on Mommy's Day.  I tell him everyday feels like Mommy's Day to me...as cheesy as it seems I'm really spoiled and my hubs is too amazing for words.  The day started off with breakfast in bed.  Daddy made it the night before.  Puff pastry topped with goat cheese, asparagus, scallions, and turkey bacon AND an omelette with coffee.  We then headed over to Nana's house where she had brunch catered for all of us and baked me the most amazing mint chocolate chip cake.  Not ice-cream cake just straight up mint chocolate chip frosting from scratch...thankfully I had a play date this week so I could share it! Back at our house Daddy insisted I nap(which is a pretty typical demand of my amazing hubs on weekends) and while I did he got the backyard ready for water play for the kids.  It was hard for me to sleep because I wanted to be with the family but I managed to get an hour in before joining in on the fun.  It was a perfect Sunday and did I say I have the best husband??

I took a picture after we devoured 1/2 of it!! 

Say what??? Mint chip cake??! Serious slice of heaven!

And the roses with a hand made card from Phia(the best kind)

Gorgeous long stemmed roses

Best husband in the world...really this isn't that out of the ordinary

Bear will have sooooo much fun back here this summer! It's really the first summer he gets to enjoy water play!

Flowers from Nana

37 week update...

We had an appointment today and low and behold...I'm a wopping 5cm!!! Doctor was very surprised I'm still walking around.  She'd like me to make it to 38 weeks which isn't until next Tuesday so she's not hopeful.  She said "you're scaring me"! Ahhh.  I'm just afraid I won't make the trek to Cedar's.  2 nights ago I had contractions in the middle of the night for 3 hours straight 7 minutes apart but they they stopped.  She said if that happens again to head straight to Labor and Delivery.  She doesn't want me dilating too much more on my own(sadly I can't control that).  Oh this lil' lady wants to make quite an entrance...I can tell already:)

peek-a-boo Presto!

Fun in the backyard at almost 38 weeks...

This is the coffee we got after a night in L&D.   Made mommy and daddy giggle...oh the talent and these silly coffee shops:)

First week of maternity leave...

Mommy has been very ambitious this past week.  It's impossible to sit when you have 3 fun kiddies to play with.  Yesterday after school I took them to the mall to have lunch, followed by ice-cream, and followed by a trip to a paint place in town that has a fun shadow room, and maze that the kids had a blast in.  Tuesday we had a play date with the Malysek's(whom we happen to love and they have 3 kiddies the same ages as ours).  I brought over an amazing mint chip cake that Nana had made me for Mother's Day and Mariella provided the pizza for everyone.  The kids somehow all ended up in the pool(with their clothes on!!!).  We didn't plan on swimming but it was such a perfect day that the kids gravitated toward the pool so we said what the heck...very fun(but a wee bit exhausting) week so far...of course wouldn't change a thing.  Having so much fun with the kids!

Kid soup...right before they all jumped in!

Now THAT'S  a play date!!!
