Drew is 3!!

Our little guy turned 3 in July and we celebrated with a fun robot party. We invited some friends and family to party with us at our favorite splash park. Drew had a great time and felt very loved by his guests.

 

Here are some of Drew's favorite things:
Movie: Ben 10, Avengers (anything that involves fighting)
Food: Pizza
Drink: Milk (he could have it all day if I let him)
Friends: Jacob, Christopher and Micah
Place: My sister's house (and the water park by her place)
Toys: Robots, Ironman and Hulk figurines
Game/Play: Tickle (he's super ticklish)
He is a cuddle bug (although when I call him my cuddle bug he says, "No, I'm just a bug").
He loves playing with his cousins.
Drew started preschool this semester and to my surprise he hasn't been too fond of it. He has fun at school, but doesn't really like getting there.
We love having this little guy in our family and couldn't imagine our lives without him!

Christopher is 4

I can't believe my "little" guy has turned 4 this month. We celebrated with a fun ice cream party at a splash park. Christopher loved having all his friends come and the attention he received. He's such a little social guy.

Happy Birthday Big Guy!!!

Splash Pads

It has been SO HOT around here, the only way to survive is to get in the water. We've been swimming and playing at splash parks A LOT this summer. We've been to a few different ones. We recently went to a really fun park up in Anthem and the kids loved it. The splash area was a little lame (for my liking), but the park was amazing. It had lakes for fishing, a HUGE play area for the kids, and a choo choo train ride. We had a great time.

Speaking of swimming, my sister moved down here this month and we've been loving swimming with the cousins. They have a really fun community pool near their house and we've been there a couple times. Yesterday Christopher said he wanted to jump from the diving board, and we let him. We were all amazed at how gutsy this little guy is. He jumped several times and swam to the side of the pool all alone. We were a little concerned at first because we couldn't be in the pool to help him to the side, but he did it by himself. He's also been going down the big slide and swimming out of the pool alone. I guess all those years of swim school have finally paid off.

Mother's Day

We had a low key mother day, but it was just perfect. Cory let me sleep in and made me breakfast. Later that night we went to my in-laws and celebrated mother's-day and Cory's birthday all at once. (Cory turned 28 the day before). This is me and the kids right before we left to church.

 Clarissa is our little princess!! She is so fun to have around.

Preschool Graduation

Christopher had his preschool graduation back in May. Since he's going to preschool next year again it wasn't a big deal for us, but he LOVED all the attention. Drew is actually going to school with him this year too. Oh, I can't wait until Fall comes around!! (Summers are just too long, specially if you live in Arizona).

This is Christopher an his AWESOME teacher. This poor women has no idea what's coming her way this fall.

Cinco de Maio

I have a ton of things to catch up on, so instead of trying to make one big post I think I'll do a bunch of little ones. This way I can make quick posts and I just need to be at the computer a little at a time.

 Our friends invited us to spend a day with them at the lake for the Cinco de Maio. The boys LOVED it. Christopher woke up the next day asking for a boat for his birthday. Haha, if only things were that easy.
