Start Spreading the News...

Hahaha. No, I am not pregnant. Just singing that Frank Sinatra Song "New York". M and I just got back from NYC. Here are the pictures:

A T-Rex skeleton at the Natural History Museum. There were soooo many dinosaur bones. B would have been in heaven!

Teddy Roosevelt statue outside the museum entrance. We told B he was the same guy from "Night at the Museum". He thought that was pretty cool.

Me sitting on a park bench in the middle of Amsterdam Ave. eating an H and H bagel. Mmmm. My mouth is watering just thinking of it!

We went to Coney Island for our first time. We've been to NY a few times but had never made it down there. It was pretty fun! We ate at the Original Nathan's Hotdogs. It was the best hotdog I have ever had!

Me at the beach on Coney Island. Maybe we could take the kids with us some day. But for now it's fun to go with just M and me.

The 4th of July

I love the 4th of July! I have always loved going to all of the festivities put on by Kaysville. I always look forward to the day and I always get teary when the veterans come by during the parade.

The kids in their patriotic clothes

Up at Grandma H's. We go up to Grandma's for a potluck after the parade.

Waiting for the fireworks there was a BEAUTIFUL sunset.

Me and the kids snuggled up during the fireworks.

In the MEEB's Yard

Tonight we had our cousins from Idaho here to play. It was a nice evening to be outside!

Playing Baseball

We picked some strawberries and raspberries from our back yard. The kids were happy to eat them right off the vine. I love when they want to eat healthy!

I think those raspberries were a little sour!

Oh What fun in a Box!

I am always amazed at how entertained kids are by boxes. I mean seriously! A box?!? What would it be like to have imaginations like kids?

E getting ready to shake B inside the box.

The puppies in their house!

B's 6th Birthday

Holy Cow! B is 6! I am not sure how that happened so quick! Here are some of the weeks festivities:


Every year I make my kids a cake for their b-day. B wanted Spongebob. I was pretty proud of this cake. It would have looked a little less squatty if I would have had one or two more layers of cake but I ran out of time and cake mix so this is what we got!

B giving the cake a good stare. He is so silly!

B getting a zoobie pet from E. He really wanted one. It's a pillow that can unzip and has a blanket inside. It will be nice for traveling.

B with his friends at his party. He is in the back with a cupcake in his face. His party was at 3 Little Monkeys. I would highly recommend having a party there. It was so much fun!

B's Red Sox Team

B is lucky enough to have his Dad and his uncle M for his baseball coaches this year. It's a good thing that both M and uncle M love the Red Sox.

B and his awesome coach :)

Getting ready for a hit. He looks thrilled to be there, huh?!?

Last Day of School

It's funny that even though I have been out of school for 9 years, I still get that euphoric feeling when school is over. The whole week before school gets out I feel giddy. So some neighborhood people got together to have a little party.


E was a little grumpy this day. I blame it on lack of sleep, not bad parenting :)

E and her cousin A at Boondocks. I have to tell them to laugh whenever I take a picture of them otherwise I get a "bitter beer face" from both of them.

B with his friends during the party.

Getting ready for the water fight.
