Museum

this Saturday we went Bowers Museum, we went to see the Terra Cotta Warriors.  It was so very interesting, They had a beautiful garden outside so we let the boys run around for a bit. 

not much to blog about

Not much has been going on here, just enjoying the sun... sort of (it has been so super hot)  doing the preschool thing and just hanging out.  So I don't really have anything to say so I will leave you with these...

This is Grants new trick, well I shouldn't say trick but this is what he can do now.   He is such a cute crazy man!  He has been getting out sporadically but after his nap so I wasn't to worried about it since he was still taking his nap, but last night Ben and I sat down to watch a movie after putting the kids in bed and as soon as we sat down here comes Grant, proud as can be.  So now what do I do?  

Tie time!

I got Jackson his first tie, I thought this picture was so sweet of him and Ben.

Christmas (I know its a little early)

but I am so excited for it to come!!!

Our Sunday night activity

                 Nothing better than Cookie Dough!!! 

sea world (again)

Our Saturday afternoon consisted of this.... yes another trip to sea world!!! I love sea world and there is nothing more fun to  me than to see the sweet smiles of the boys.

                   Ben took Jackson on this ride (and yes Jackson hated it, but he was very brave)

Check this out!!!

projects

anyone that knows me, knows I hate junk and I love projects.  So what do you do with all these random scraps of material.....

 

You make this!!!  (this was a much bigger project than I thought but the boys sure love it, it is very soft and silky)

Seasons

I am really missing the cool crisp air, with the mountains changing colors. 

Conversation

Jackson:  Mom you need to dress up like the good guy and I am going to dress up like the bad guy.

me:  why do you always want to be the bad guy?

Jackson: Because your the good guy.

me: But your so sweet I want my sweet Jackson to be a good guy to.

Jackson: Ok how do I dress up like a good guy?

me: Like a missionary, sound fun?

Jackson:  ok but what is my secret code name?

me: Elder Hammond! 

Jackson: Really? that's awesome! I am going on a mission when I get big.

 of course my heart was leaping out when he said that, so we took pictures to black male him when he is a teenager

So this is Jackson after he dressed up like "the good guy" 

isn't he sweet!!!

The boys

Sorry about all the posts about my boys, I am just really enjoying them right now.  They are doing such funny things. We just rearranged my bedroom and the boys found a cubby they can fit in.

They are here!!!

Hey everyone, the new peek a boo bags with double sided toys and picture tags are here!!!! They are so so cute so find a retailer and collect them all.

It's just one of those days

Well I don't normally do posts like this, but for some reason I am really missing my family and friends in Utah.  I don't cry very often (for a girl, maybe because my whole family consists of all boys and they just don't understand crying)  I think it is all hitting me with the start of the holidays around the corner (and all my visitors have come and gone) and we won't be able to be with them for the second year in a row.   I love California, but it is really hard not having family around.  Everything is so expensive here and and I really hate having 3,000,000,056,2oo,ooo people living on my block with me, I feel like they can hear every conversation, every fight I have with my children and my children screaming.  I am really sick of the little yappy dogs I hear almost all day long.  I am sorry for this post I normally think it is silly when I see someone venting on their blog but I think Jackson thinks I am crazy for crying so I needed to tell someone and what better place than the 3,000,000,056,200,000 people that are out there (who knows maybe one of my neighbors is reading this with their yappy dogs and will think twice about letting them bark constantly)...... I guess it is just one of those days.

Activity of the day!

Well Jackson is getting a little antsy these days without pre-school being in session, so all day he follows me around and says "what can we do mom?"  So today we did this. It's just Marshmallows dipped in chocolate with sprinkles.....YUMMY!

I love our computer so much it has this cool program called photo booth. Jackson was having so much fun so we took lots, have a great laugh.

having fun

this is jackson and I playing around on our computer..... Aren't we cute

Kirk and Kylee come to town!

my cute, brother Kirk and his daughter Kylee are visiting for a couple of day so they can go to Disneyland.  We met up with them last night and swam in their hotel swimming pool, we had so much fun and Kylee is so sweet with the boys they love her so much.
