These boys...

Put a SMILE on my face

every 

single

day!

PS. 

Yes, 

Ryler can now tackle his older brother

mini truck to minivan

Goodbye Toyota Tacoma, 

we loved you, but you were just too small for our family...

Hello Soccer Mom Van, 

I love your rear AC(a lot!)...

Thank you Craigslist for your amazing good deals

& for helping us pay less than the van was listed for and for finding someone to pay us MORE for the truck than we bought it for;)

shhh, don't tell the buyer!

GOAL!!!

We just got a little soccer ball/goal for the boys & they LOVE IT & I love that it was FREE!

(CSN stores has been giving me gift certificates to their stores to do a little advertising on my Craft Blog, so it has been fun doing some FREE SHOPPING)

They take turns kicking and being the goalie...

and of course Daddy joins in on the fun too!

Piper Piper Piper Pizza

I admit it is kind of a tongue twister, so I think it is cute when Parker asks if we can go to 

"Piper Piper Piper Pizza"

He got his wish yesterday:)

We picked up daddy at work and headed over for an hour of PIZZA & FUN!

In other exciting news...

I took Ryler's "baba" away this week. 

I just haven't wanted to deal with it, because well, I want him to stay a baby forever...is that so wrong?

I didn't think it would be a big deal, since he loves to drink out of sippy cups, but I tried laying him down with a sippy of milk on Day 1 & he wouldn't even take a drink. He went over 24 hrs refusing to drink.

Day 2 he decided he was thirsty and gave in & decided to give the sippy a chance;)

I am the Luckiest Girl

in the world....

who gets to hang out with these 3 boys

every

single

day!

Life is Good.

Really Good.

Indoor Trampoline Park

Went to Jump Street for the 1st...and 2nd time this week;)

The boys were in HEAVEN!!!

We went during the day with our friends & we had the entire place to ourselves.

We went back for "Family Date Night" on Saturday & it was SO BUSY, but luckily the "kids area" wasn't bad.

I told Parker, "We are going to Jump Street with Ethan today!" 

He immediately said, "Mom! We can't jump in the street, a car will hit us!"

Surprise!

The HUBERS have been friends of our family for YEARS & YEARS & spoil our kids ROTTEN at every chance they get! They do more than Santa himself for Christmas & are endlessly serving others, including our family! We LOVE them so much & jump at the chance to spoil them every now and then!

It was Jim's Birthday last week, so we decided to go to work & surprise him with a sign, balloons & an icecream cake!

He was SOOOO embarrassed when we walked in singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY, but he was a good sport & ate icecream cake with us, taking a short break from his busy work!

Happy Birthday "Grandpa Huber"!

Indoor Nascar

It is HOT outside...really HOT. 

My boys don't really care, but I DO.

So when they asked if they could ride their bikes inside, I said SURE, because that meant I didn't have to go outside to watch them ride them.

So we pushed the couches aside & our "indoor race track" has been a hit for the past couple weeks!

HOP SCOTCH

My aunt gave me this Hopscotch game for preschool & my boys LOVE it!!!

Parker is pretty good too!

I can still hear Parker saying "Don't step on the 7 BABY!!!" :)

Ryler stopped throwing the marker & decided to use his blanky instead;)

All worn out & ready for bed:)

Park in August!

We haven't been to the park in MONTHS...because there is concern for 3rd degree burns if you play on the playground equipment in the lovely AZ heat!!!

Well...Saturday was really NICE & Matt was out of town, so I took the boys to get dinner(Taco Bell, very fancy!) & then we headed to the park, which was actually the Elementary School by our house...

We had never been there, so the boys were in heaven on the "new" toys!

It was nice weather & I had so much fun playing with these cute boys!

and we even got to watch a beautiful sunset on the way home...

Double Birthday Bash

Matt's dad & his sister both had birthdays this week, so we celebrated Thursday night at the Allen's

with Pizza, Cake, Cobbler & Homemade Icecream...yum!

 This boy could eat pizza for every meal, just like his daddy!
I just need to teach him to chew with his mouth closed;)

The cute birthday duo, gearing up to blow out the candles!

Let the sugar high begin!!!

Happy Birthday to the BEST father-in-law in the world
& the BEST 17 yr old sister-in-law in the world!

LA : Day Three

Sunday morning we woke up & headed to the Newport Beach Temple.

It is Gorgeous.

Took a bunch of pictures.

and got a group shot, of course...

and then walked across the street to church.

Enjoyed Testimony Meeting.

And then hit the road for home.

Played a fun game on the way home.

Can't remember what it is called?!?
Maybe Perculation???

It passed the time quickly

and before we knew it we were home.

We quickly headed over to my parent's house,

to see this kid...

and this kid...

Perfect ending to another perfect day.

Just want to say THANK YOU to Rob & Julie for watching our kids

or it wouldn't have been possible to go!

We owe them...BIG!!!
