Happy Birthday David

David and his new toy
The OLD school TV
It fits just perfectly!!!

So David has been wanting a new TV for a long time, and every time we save up just enough money an emergency happens and the money is gone. So since David's birthday is coming up and we found such an amazing deal... he got his new TV!!! Look at his face he looks like a kid in a candy store. Thanks Mom and Dad for helping pay for it. You made David's day!

Happy Birthday Davey!!!

Memories of Me

This ought to be funny.
Be Gentle.

Here are the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Happy Birthday Ashlyn & Todd

Happy Birthday Ashlyn and Todd!!!

Lincoln wanted to join the birthday photos since his birthday is around the corner. Todd and Jen flew in Thursday night to celebrate birthdays while on their way to Hawaii. It was so great to see them even though we only got to see them for a couple of hours. We sure had a great time partyin' !!!!

Pulling up on EVERYTHING!!!!

So Lizzie's new TRICK is pulling herself up on everything! and eating everything in sight. She tries so hard to get up on things but most of the time it ends up that she falls and bonks her face on the ground and then FREAKS OUTS!!! Could she grow any faster? It seems that she just wants to become a BIG girl so fast that she wants to bypass the baby stages and be BIG!

Spring-O-Fun

Lizzie loves to play with the springs

FLY-GIRL

So the other day I was working in the kitchen and trying to get stuff put away. Lizzie was playing with her toys so I knew I had some time to get some stuff done. After a while she got dead silent... That is a BIG problem because I know she is doing something she isn't suppose to be doing. I look over into the living room and she is gone, I look over the island and she is at the base of her highchair covered in blackness. Her hands and face had black spots everywhere. I walked around the island and found this...

LIZZIE WAS EATING DEAD FLIES!!!!

I know... super gross huh? but let me inform you I mopped the floor, and there are no more dead flies for her to eat.

(This picture was taken after I started cleaning her up)

To start our fabulous 4th of July we headed to Lake Elsinore to ride the Sea-Doo's and enjoy time in the sand and the HOT HEAT!!! The few minutes we got in the water it was great, but sitting on the hot beach with a over heating baby wasn't so much fun. Thanks to the Jones Family for all the fun!

AND THE BEST PART....

THE FIREWORKS!!!

4th of July was so much fun. We spent the 1st part of the day at the lake, and then we drove home and prepared for the parade and fireworks. The kids had a great time at the parade and we got so much FREE stuff. It was probably one of the best small town parade I have ever been to. David enjoyed the free candy and shared it with all our friends. The fireworks were amazing. We watched them from our backyard and could see them perfectly. What a great way to spend the 4th great food, fun activities, amazing friends, and priceless memories....

Getting ready for the 4th of July

Today was the day that after a year of waiting and being stored in the dusky garage David's birthday present from LAST YEAR finally came alive!!! We have been so excited to use our new BBQ since we got it last year, but since we have had 2 moves since then we have waited till we moved into our new house to FINALLY use it!!! Let me just inform you that it works great, and the food that comes from the grill is super duper yummy! I'm so glad we finally got to use it. My parents for David's birthday this year got him the BBQ Bible. The recipes look so yummy... Here's to you David.. let the grillin' beginning!

1st Tooth

Lizzie FINALLY got her 1st tooth!!! HOORAY!!!!

Oma found it at FHE. Lizzie is growing up so fast!!!

SUPER PEEVED

So Wednesday the A/C FINALLY got fixed... HOORAY!!! but when I walked into the house this afternoon the most TERRIBLE THING HAPPENED... the A/C broke... I know it got finished yesterday, and I paid over $800.00 for what? a hot house... I'm so PEEVED right now I could scream. Thank goodness Oma and Papa don't live too far, and they share their A/C with us. The best part of the story is when I called the A/C company, and they said it was after 5 and I have to wait till Monday to have the service man come out and fix the problem... not even 2 whole days of A/C.. they better not charge me a service call or I will throw a fit... Back to the fans we go... hot days again...

Our New FAVORITE hangout

Well as most of the blogging world knows we do NOT have Internet. After a couple of days of NO Internet I was seriously going crazy. So I found the local library so I could surf the web, blog my little heart out. Hopefully our Internet gets set up quick, because all the librarians give me crazy looks when Lizzie is loud. I try to bring enough toys to keep her occupied so she will stay quite, but she just loves to talk.

The Crawling Machine

Since we moved Lizzie decided it was time to crawl... My baby is getting so BIG!!!!

WE Made it!!!

We made the move and are enjoying our new house.. The AC does not work so we slept in a 96 degree house :) The AC man is coming tomorrow to fix it HOORAY!!! Thanks to everyone who helped!!!! We will miss everyone from Riverside, but we are making new friends. We don't have internet for a couple more weeks so we will keep you updated as much as possible.

SEARCH & RESCUE

So the day started out GREAT!!! Mandi, Waimea, Lizzie, and I headed out to Ontario Mills for an afternoon of shopping fun. We ate and shopped our little hearts out, but half way through the day I realized that PIGGY (Lizzie's FAVORITE stuffed animal) WAS MISSING!!!! My heart started to race as we retraced our steps through Ontario Mills, but Piggy was no where to be found. How was I going to tell Lizzie that Piggy was gone FOREVER? I asked so many people of they saw the little pink pig, and I kept getting the same answer... "Sorry no pig here" I called David to give him the BAD news, and he couldn't believe I could loose Piggy.. Let me just inform the world that I felt HORRIBLE! Lizzie is only attached to this pig and no other stuffed animal, and it wasn't like I could go out and buy another one since it was given to Lizzie, and I have no idea if they even sell them anymore. So as we were making it back to the last store we looked in before heading to the restroom to change the girls. The search and rescue effort was complete!

PIGGY WAS FOUND!!!

Moral of the story: Never take your child's Stuffed Piggy to a huge mall, and expect it to stay inside the stroller.

LEAVE IT AT HOME OR IN THE CAR FOR SAFETY PURPOSES!

The reunion of Lizzie & Piggy after a good wash, and they lived happily ever after!!!
