The In Betweens

I think I've posted about all of the major things we've done the last few months. But I've taken a thousand and one other random pictures.  So here are some of the "in betweens" of March and April.
 

1.   2.

3.   4.

5.   6.

1. Brighton loves to swing super high. Check out the envious 6 year old next to her pissed his mom has to push him.

2. Boston's face is priceless.  Just some "ring around the rosies" gone bad.

3. Oh ya, I did have a birthday! 29, woot, woot! I'm stoked to be almost 30. Stacy, Amy and I grabbed some sushi before screening The Hunger Games.

4. Give my girls some change and a piggie bank and they will be occupied for a good hour.

5 & 6. B&B's favorite at home activity is hiding. They are constantly running and hiding under the table, piano, or under a blanket.

7.   8.

 

9. 10.

7. Brighton getting to steer the car into the driveway. What a nice daddy.

8. Boston loves bikes but doesn't know how to pedal.  Therefor she will sit on a tricycle, not moving for like 15 minutes. It cracks me up.

9. Just to prove how awesome Braden is for folding the clothes.  Here is one weeks worth of laundry, freshly dumped onto the couch for folding.

10. Yes, I did get another maxi dress, and another pair of braided sandals.  Absolutely love them.

11. 12.

 13. 14.

  

15. 16.

 17. 18.

19. 20.

11. When Boston wakes up from her nap, the first person she wants to see is Brighton.  Brighton is always happy to see her and says in the sweetest voice, "Hi sweetie!"

12 - 15. Pump It Up is one of the greatest places ever. Both girls are completely independent, and especially love the big slide.  Boston is always the youngest kid sliding down. And I just get to take pictures and sit and watch.

16. Can you handle how sweaty Boston is? Poor girl. I had her in long sleeves because I thought it would be freezing since it had been raining.

17 - 20.  Stacy let us take home these umbrellas from her garage sale last week.  They sold a bunch of her grandmas stuff, and these gems were in the loot. I really should pay her, because we have had hours of fun with them.

Successful Surprise

My sis gave me the fun idea of having a mocktail party, and what better person to have one for than Stacy!

At the bar:

• Strawberry Daiquari's
• Lime Margarita's
• Italian Cream Sodas
• Ginger Colada
• Roy Rogers

On the menu: (Stacy's Favorites)

• Chips & Salsa
• Artichoke Jalapeno Dip
• Green Apples & Carmel Cream Cheese Dip
• Strawberries and Lemon Dip
• Lemon Bars
• Chocolate Chip Sour Cream Cake (not Stacy's favorite, but I just couldn't throw a party without some chocolate)

Of course I have like 2 pictures of actual people...

Erin with her first ever "mocktail".

The birthday girl leaving with some leftovers.

Thanks to all that were able to make it and celebrate Stacy!

Happy Birthday Stacy! It's been the best year ever having you basically next door. I'm so happy to call you my bestie :)

PS. And I did forget something. A veggie tray sitting in my fridge. But who would have eaten that anyway right?

BFF GNO

Last week we made plans to go with Justin and Stacy to Disneyland for the day.  Then Stacy had the brilliant idea of just us girls going back that night after I got done teaching piano. Brilliant, brilliant idea.

So 5 o'clock hit, and I hurried to feed the fam, freshen up and head out the door for a super fun GNO.

We literally walked as fast as possible (I had to jog about every 10 steps to keep up with Stacy) to maximize our ride time.

First we checked out Space Mountain and Matterhorn. Space Mountain was a 45 minute wait, and Matterhorn was broken at the moment, so we walked/half ran over to Fronteire land to hop on Big Thunder.

Then jogged over to Indian Jones where this employee HOOKED IT UP!


As we were passing him he asked if we would like to have a "better night" and handed us a fast pass good on any ride for up to 6 people.  I was so excited and told him we were new mom's on our first night out.  He then said, "Well in that case..." and pulled out 3 more passes to give to us!






Then we hit up Big Thunder again (because it really is so fun) before jogging back over to Space Mountain.

 

After Space Mountain, we decided to just go back to Big Thunder since Matterhorn was still broken.  We ran into Megan and her sister who gave us the ultimate Big Thunder experience.

Last we stopped in to say hi to Stacy's mom one more time and then took a few pictures around the park.

I think this one is "Senior Picture" worthy ;)




We had so much fun! I can't remember the last time just Stacy and I did something like this. Between the babies, her working and my teaching it's been a l-o-n-g time.  Thanks Stace!

Big City "Pumpkin Patch"

Last night we took the girls to the "pumpkin patch"...

Brighton LOVED the animals, especially the bunnies.

The babies.

We met up with the Petersons for a bit.

The fam

Meeting up with Nana. Brighton was so excited to see her.

Brighton seriously got to go on EVERY ride. They don't let parents go on anymore, so she got to be a big girl and go all by herself.

We told her to give "them" the tickets, so she was trying to put them on the gate so it would let her in. LOL

The 2nd carousel ride... We had to have a turn on the pink horse.

Boston was an ANGEL the whole time. Such a trooper watching her sister having all the fun!

This bounce castle was probably her most favorite. She would have stayed all night. The worker had to go in and tell her to come out.

Peek-a-Boo!

And the boats....

She even got to throw darts!

But she was very upset with the stuffed animal daddy won her... She threw it right on the ground.

And asked for one of the balloon... So spoiled.

 BUT THE BEST PART OF THE NIGHT: She said she wanted to go on the slide. I had her watch a few kids go down, told her it would be fast and probably scary... she still wanted to go.

I was so proud of her for not chickening out!
