Seriously

*I was putting away the dishes from the dishwasher and noticing that they weren't very clean. I was whining to myself about "what is the point of having a dishwasher if you just have to rewash half of them anyway!" when I leaned up against the dishwasher door to put something high in a cupboard and closed it. I jumped because the dishwasher turned on. Oooooohhhhh yaaaaaa. I had opened it the night before when I was on the phone (my dishwasher is the loudest thing ever) and never restarted it.  Luckily I had only unloaded the top rack.  Oops!

*My mom gave my girls harmonicas for Easter.  Like legit, real, harmonicas. That is a "seriously" moment in of itself. Kill me.  But the funny "seriously" part is that Brighton can never quite say it right. Tonight she called it a "moronica". It gave me the giggles.

*Boston is the most persistent kid I've ever met. I caught some of the non-stop whining we had going on the other day. Towards the end when she's saying, "I wanna watch" with her deep voice is when I about kill myself.  And yes, I will blackmail her with it. And yes, I realize this isn't as horrific on a 1 minute video as it was for me for 5 hours the other day. Don't judge.

*The other night, Braden was tinkering with the songs on his phone.  A particular song came on and he said, "I'll give you whatever you want if you can tell me who's singing." I said, almost without hesitation, "Patrick Swayze." It was "She's Like the Wind" from Dirty Dancing. Boo-freakin'-ya! He said, "How the hell do you know that!" Come on babe, every girl probably knows that. Hmmm, now what do I want...

The Return of Church Basketball

I won't lie... I miss the Long Beach East Stake sports. (Well, I kind of miss the LBES period). So I was glad when the Cerritos Stake started having basketball tournaments.  I just think it's fun to go watch all of the hubbies play ball. Call me weird. Tonight was Game 1 of this years tournie.  Our ward looked awesome.  Mainly, because they are just awesome, and partly because the other team didn't show up. But we had enough guys to play each other, so we still had a game. And "we" won :)

Happy Birthday!

Just a quick shout out to my man. He turned "3 AND 2" yesterday (according to Brighton).

Happy Birthday Braden! We love you so so so much! 

Another Season

Another "season" of softball has come and gone. Don't worry the next "season" starts October 1st.



I'm going to invest in one of these since softball seems to be in our future for awhile. I never realized how truly uncomfortable bleachers were until I had to nurse a baby sitting on them.


And since they play on Friday nights, we get all dolled up... Last week we even busted out the sponge curlers.



Boston loves watching her daddy!



And it makes it even more fun that we have fun friends there too!

Shooting

Last Saturday, the boys had a day out and went shooting. Brad is moving back to Utah, so it was their last hurrah. They had an array of things to shoot at including, clays, potatoes, balloons, targets, fruit and even kites. They came back exhausted (Brad was slurring his words) and a little sunburned... but they had a great time. Then they relaxed and watched the Fedor fights on PPV while Stacy and I went and got them food. That sounds like a great guys day out, if I don't say so myself.

So proud of Braden for taking pictures. He really does love me.
