Girl Party!

-


I went to my sister's girl only, pool party, birthday celebration this weekend. This is the third year of the party and I was very excited since the last two years I was either pregnant or nursing.
My sister throws a fantastic party with karaoke, wigs, pool olympics, snacks and a wide variety of beverages. I really can't tell you much else about the actual goings-on of the afternoon because of the most important rule of the entire event- What happens at the girl party, STAYS at the girl party.
But it was fun. And there was vodka involved. And I will never, ever drink Vodka again. I paid for my fun all day yesterday.
So enjoy the pictures I can release and just daydream about all the one's I can't post. It was a FUN party.
P.S. I have to give my husband major credit for this weekend. He kept the boys all Saturday and Saturday night and then on Sunday, he let me recover and took the boys on more adventures. He is a great dad and a fantastic husband. I owe him.

Oh, how fun! I used to throw slumber parties for the gals when I lived in L.A. and I always meant to revive the tradition...but then, uh, kids came along :)
We used to have the funniest dress ups. One year we all had to bring an instrument (whether we could play it or not), and one year we all had to create a masterpiece of artwork after waaaaay too many green apple martinis. So much fun! Glad you had a great time.

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

-
The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
