Not Me Mondays!!!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week. Sooooo I have decided to take it on myself since I enjoy reading her's so much and of course don't do any of those things!!!

I did not feed my kids cereal and raisin toast for dinner last night because I was sooo tired and daddy worked all day so I wanted to not make my life easier, nope not me!

I did not leave a basket full of clean clothes and 2 huge piles of clean clothes all in the laundry room because I was too lazy to put them alll away, nope not me!

I of course did not let the kids climb into the bed in the middle of the night with us because we were so exhausted and did not want to risk waking the 3rd child. Nope we did not give into their screaming and crying and pull them up so we could all just fall back asleep for a few more hours, nope not me!

Day at the Lake

We went to the lake yesterday just the 5 of us and Lexi. We had fun...it was hot but not too hot, perfect for sunbathing and wading in the water. Josh was generous enough to let us use the wave runner and we had lots of fun with that as always. And my sister could eat, sleep and breathe on that thing! Ireland wasn't so sure about the water at first but soon started splashing and picking up rocks. Riley and Trevor played with their shovels and pails and Trevor always loves to go on the wave runner! All in all it was a nice relaxing Saturday.

Afterwards, Nana and Grandpa watched the kids and Zach and I went on a much needed date! The kids have not been sleeping too well and we've been sooo tired so it was nice to have a night out and a full night's sleep(even if only for 1 night). We splurged and went to Fat's and enjoyed their delicious honey walnut prawns and adult drinks :) Then we caught a showing of The Ugly Truth which was pretty funny. We got home and you're probably guessing you know how the night ended...or how its supposed to end on a "date night", but it didn't! We caught up on a little Big Brother and hit the sheets...literally falling right asleep!!! I guess we'll make up for it another time.........

Concert in the Park!

We have been to Concert in the Park for the last 2 Fridays nights and we really love it! It is such a fun atmosphere with all the families, kids running around playing and dancing, people bbqing and great bands! The kids have such a fun time and the best part is it's FREE! That's always a plus for us!

Auntie Jess!

Riley and Trevor always talk about their Auntie Jess and lately Riley has been wanting to call her Auntie and talk to her on the phone. I think it's such a good idea because they can keep in contact and stay close since we live far away from them! Thanks Auntie Jess for calling Riley and Trevor back today and talking to them. I know they love it and love you VERY much!!! Can't wait to plan a trip down to see you guys and your new house and take the kids to the beach with their Aunite Jess!

Happy Birthday Josh!

Camping with a Little Ri

at the lake with Ire

Jump T Jump!

It's your birthday today! 32 years ago you entered this world and no one has ever been the same since...literally! Ha! You are such a fun guy to be around. You always know how to make us laugh and Riley, Trevor and Ireland light up with joy when they see you! You are an amazing uncle to my kids and an awesome brother to Zach and I! Thanks for all you do for us! We love you!

Big Brother Returns!!!

Yes, you can say I'm a Big Brother addict! But hey I wait all year for this show and it finally premieres tonight at 7:00! and okay this part is really bad....every year when it comes on Zach calls our Tv company and orders Showtime so I can watch Big Brother After Dark(its on from 9-midnight every single night)...told you it was really bad! But I'm a bussssy mommy of 3 and I think I deserve it for it is on only 1 month every year, right??!!

Surgery??

So I have been having these pains in the middle of my upper abdomen for a while now. I have just been dealing with it and hoping it would go away..but it hasn't. I think I may have to have my gallbladder removed...surgery...being put under..agghhh!!! You all know how my births and c-sections have been and why this is freeking me out!! I went to the Dr. a couple weeks ago about it and he scheduled me to have an ultrasound! He thinks it is most likely my gallbladder (I was really hoping for indigestion or something along those lines..) So my ultrasound is set for next week, we'll see how it goes. I'll keep you updated and hey maybe it won't show anything and the pain will just subside forever....ok a girl can dream (especially since my grandma, mom and cousin all have had theirs removed, it seems to run in the fam!)

Happy 4th of July!!!

We had such a fun and relaxing day today! The 4th of July really is my next favorite holiday after Christmas! I just love all the block parties, bbq's, family and fireworks! I love it even more now because I get to see my kids' faces light up when they watch the firweorks! We spent the day sleeping in (yes the kids had climbed into our bed by 7:00am but fell back asleep til 9:00!) Then we just lounged around in our pj's til about noon! Gramma and Papa, G-pa, and Auntie Mikayla came over and we bbq'd, the kids swam and then all set up out front to watch Daddy light fireworks!!
