Happy 11th Birthday Jayce

Wow I cannot believe I have an 11 years old. 2 more years and he will be a teenager.  He had a party with some of his friends. They came over and made pizzas and watched Percy Jackson. They ate lots of junk and laughed a lot. There aren't any pictures because they are boys and that would have been embarrassing don't you know? 

But then we had a bunch of family over for presents and cake on his birthday.

 He wanted a computer game that he plays with my brother called warcraft. Wonderful. Thanks a lot Bryson. :0

and itunes for his ipod

he is laughing because he thought I gave him a cake in the box. When we told him something was inside he didn't believe us.

it was fishing stuff

then grandma L gave him crackers. He didn't fall for it this time. It was a new fishing reel.

This is a blanket with all his cub scout patches that my mom did for him.

and it isn't a birthday without the cake

and trick candles...

Happy birthday bud!

Living Planet Aquarium

We haven't ever been up to the Living Planet Aquarium before so we thought we would take the kids up. It was pretty cool but I am not sure it is something I want to do very often.  The kids had a good time though.

Can you see how excited Jayce was to pose for me?

Looking at the fish

Touch the sting rays

Looking at something. The snakes I think

One group shot for mom

Then it was off to Chuck E Cheese for more fun and lunch.

There aren't any pictures of Jayce because he took off with his tokens and we didn't see him until they were gone.. 

A whole bunch of something

I am way behind.. again..  so I need to do some marathon posting to catch up.   I think that June went by in a big blur..  Here are some of the highlights:

My fun little Kenzie let her sister dress her up in everything they could find. She kind of reminded me of the mad hatter.

My garden is looking so good. It gets me way excited for everything to come up. I tried lettuce for the first time. Next year I know I need to spray for bugs and NOT PLANT SO MUCH. I am not the rabbit I thought I was. 

Jayce has been playing baseball as usual. I love to watch him play. He is really good and I usually know what is going on.

Ryker is 8 months and learning to crawl. It seemed liek th day he figured out crawling he also figured out how to pull himself up on the furniture. I think I am going to be in trouble with this one..

For anyone that doesn't know, my son has a drooling problem. This is what he looks like at any given time....

Now that he knows how to move around and stand up he has started to fight me a little bit at nap time. I lay him down and the next thing I know he is at the end of the crib screaming.

What a stinker.
