So Fun!

Mike and I had an awesome night out! Yes, I survived being away from the boys, even though I did text my sister a few times to check on them.
This is how close our seats were.

Mike kept telling me I should go talk to the cheerleaders. He was joking and I don't think he thought I actually would... here's my proof.

Is It Tuesday Yet?

I got Mike tickets to a Golden State Warriors game for his bday. For you non basketball fans, that is his favorite NBA team. We went a few years ago (I was actually pregnant with Josh and didn't know it) and had a blast. This time I got court side tickets! The game is Tuesday night in Oakland and I am so excited. My mom and sister are coming into town tomorrow, which is so convenient because we'll just leave the boys home with them. It is a big deal for us to get out without the boys. This is maybe the second time we've gone out since Josh was born, 2 1/2 years ago! It's not that we don't like to go out by ourselves, we would just rather take the kids with us. Mike works such long hours that when he has his days off we'd rather hang out at home with each other and the kids than do anything else. Tuesday should be fun. I'm looking forward to it, even though I'm sure I'll miss the boys like crazy. The only time I haven't put Josh to bed is when I was in the hospital having Jason. I know... you are probably thinking that is pathetic! Give me a couple more years and I'll be writing a blog titled, "Kids for rent!"

Yikes!

I was sitting next to Josh today and noticed something shiny up his nose. I said, "Josh, what's in your nose?" Completely calm he said back to me, "A screw, Mommy." The little monkey put a stinkin screw up his nose! Who knows where it came from or let alone how long it had been there. It was jammed in there good. Mike had to use tweezers to get it out. What's next... a bean in the ear??

Happy Birthday, Hubby

Today is Mike's birthday! The big 2-7! That is so old! It seems like just yesterday that we were 18.

I'll let you have a good laugh with this picture from our freshman year in college. Where has the time gone? Now we are almost 30!! Well, he is almost 30... I am proud to say that I am younger. =) Happy Birthday, old man!

Josh made this for Daddy to see when he comes home from work.

Too Big, Too Fast

My little Jason is already 4 1/2 months old! Where has the last couple of months gone? I feel like we just brought him home. He weighs a whopping 13 pounds and is 24 inches long. He loves his tummy time and can now roll over from his tummy to his back, but I haven't seen it yet!! He goes to sleep on his stomach (I know, his pediatrician would kill me) and when he wakes up he is on his back. The little stinker always does it when we aren't in the room. He is super ticklish and full of giggles. He loves his big brother. Whenever Josh walks in the room he lights up and is all smiles. It is really cute!!

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Today Mike was home with the boys and I went and subbed in a 6th grade class. This class was great. All the students were well behaved, polite and respectful. I was very impressed all day. In the afternoon, it was time to switch classes for Science. This meant that my class was going next door and that class was coming to me. I knew the second this group walked in (or bombarded) the classroom that I was in for it! This class was downright disrespectful, rude, and mean! I have seen my share of "difficult" students, but nothing like I saw today. How can two 6th grade classes right next door to each other be complete night and day?? I am so dissapointed in the lack of respect that some children have nowadays for their elders. If the paddle was still allowed in school, I would have "tanned their hides" as my Grandpa says.

Outnumbered

My brother, Luc and his friend, Nate (who is also my sister's boyfriend) are here visiting from Nevada. This means that there are 5 boys in my house! There has been a lot of video game playing, 4 wheeling, dirt bike riding, gun shooting, wrestling and whatever other boy stuff you can imagine. Josh has loved the extra "guy" attention. I'm sure he gets sick of hanging out with mommy all day, even though he does love walking around in my heels. This gives me just a little taste of what it might be like as my boys get older and start having all their friends over... I can't wait!!!
