Runaway

I have been trying to get back to running (it's such a great escape) but I am finding it challenging because I have a couple of obstacle's. Jeremiah who has been sleeping through the night since he was 1 1/2 months old is for some reason starting to get up 2-4 times a night so I don't have all my rest. It's getting hot outside and I absolutely hate running on the treadmill so I need to wake up around 5:30-6am to beat the heat and I'm not a morning person. These are of course just excuses, so I will be running tired and dripping with sweat, see ya on the street.

Ventura, CA

Ryan had to go to California for business so we all tagged along, we had so much fun! We went to Ventura, CA it was crazy coming from 100 degree weather to 60 degree. They call it Doom June cause it's windy and chilly but it was nice to get out of the heat for awhile. There was a day where it was 70 so that was perfect. We played at a couple of parks on the beach which was awesome! I would love to go to the park all the time if I lived there. One day we rented a car that you peddle like a bike and rode down the coast, which was so beautiful, that was so much fun and good excercise. You get an hour when you rent it which I was thinking only an hour, but that was good enough, I was so tired. One day when we were at the beach it was windy and I was trying to block the wind with the umbrella so Jeremiah could relax(he hated the wind) but it threw sand in his face and I kinda panicked and threw the umbrella to stop the sand, the next thing I know Ryan is running down the beach trying to catch the umbrella because the wind took it, it was the funniest thing ever! I was laughing so hard I was crying.Good times! It was such a short trip but it was fun and relaxing.

Gabriel and Bella playing on the beach

Muahh!

My handsome little guy, he makes me so happy

I thought the camera already took the picture. I was trying to get the perfect picture.

The perfect picture.

I jumped into Ryan's arms without him even knowing I was going to do it.

Beautiful Blondie

Amazing view from this bench

My sweet sweet Angel

The peddle bike

The best swingset ever!

Summer Days.. Having a Blast..

I can't believe the summer is here, Gabriel only has 2 1/2 weeks left until he starts school. The summers are way too short now a days, I remember I didn't start school until late August or early September, I wish it was like that now. We have had a great summer so far keeping busy. The only thing we haven't done yet is go boating but we are planning on it next week.

We took the kids to Jump and Play, they had a blast.

My handsome boys! Bella was passed out so she missed the picture. We had a BBQ at our house for the 4th of July. Unfortunatly we didn't make it to Utah but we had fun. The kids swam all night until it was time to go see the fireworks. I can't believe the year is half over! CRAZY!

*DIVA*

Watching the fireworks

This is what happens when your the youngest out of three siblings. Haha!

My sweet little king, he makes me smile.

Falling in love with water! my kids love these spray pads. I was dripping sweat watching them cuz it's so dang hot here in the desert!

Jeremiah loved this, he got sprayed in the face a little and it took his breath away.

My little Kinder-Graduate

Gabriel graduated from kindersteps on June 3rd. We went to his little star day program. It was so cute to see him singing. He'll be going to 1st grade this fall, his teacher said he should do fine. I did want to put him in kindergarten but the teacher said he might get bored because the curriculum for kindersteps is similar to kindergarten so we'll see how he does. I can't believe my baby is gonna go to school all day, I will definetly miss him. He is so excited to be able to take a lunch box and go to school all day. He's more excited than I am :(


So cute!
Gabriel is teaching Bella how to fight.
My little guy got his black belt, he is no longer a dragon. He is a high white(I think that's what it's called) he gets to be in the regular class with the older kids and adults. He's kinda intimidated but he's getting used to it. They don't play around as much and it's 1hour instead of a half hour so it will take some getting used to. I am so proud of my handsome boy.

Happiness is being married to your best friend...

This day I will marry my friend
the one I laugh with, live for,
dream with, Love.
This was on our wedding invite May 14, 1999. Time has gone by sooo fast, I can't believe it's been 10 years and three kids later. We went and had dinner at some nice restaurant Mastro's. It was really good, they gave us a dessert that said Happy Anniversary. They must have known from our reservation, it was really nice. Ryan wanted to go away for the weekend but I'm not willing to leave my little Jeremiah over-night just yet, maybe in a couple of months. It's been so crazy/fun being married to Ryan, I can't beleive he's put up with me all these years but I'm glad he does, I love him with every breath I take. He's such an amazing man and I'm very lucky.Love ya babe!

PS
I'm so bad at blogging, I wish I had more time. That's why I have posted a few cause I know it will be awhile for the next one.

My big boy

Jeremiah is 4 1/2 months old. he is laughing, playing with his toes and love's to suck on them. Grabbing things constantly, the other day he grabbed for one of Gabriel's chips it was so funny. He's started to eat solids and is loving it, he just stare's at anybody who puts food in their mouth. He's starting to roll over from his belly. He got his first haircut three weeks ago, he looks so different but it was getting long and it was falling out in the back. He is such a happy baby, I love his squeals and when he kicks his legs and waves his arms when he gets excited.So SWEET!

*Fun with the camera*

My kids love to have their picture's taken and I think they look so cute in their matching outfits, i love having two boys and my drama queen. They are so much fun!
