Eclipse

I, like a lot of other women, loved the Twilight Series books. One of my friends buys out a theater for every opening night, so we all get to go out and enjoy a fun girls night out. (Yes, I am unbelievably tired today, but didn't get to sleep in very much because I have a jam-packed day today. Hence, no nap either.) Last night was no exception :) We went to Cafe Rio for some yumminess, then headed to the movie. Right before Cafe Rio we decided to make a stop at Target, and look what we found!! That's right, "Team Edward" t-shirts!!!! I never thought in a million years I would buy one of these, but it was on clearance for $3.74 so I couldn't resist. My friend Lindsey was so embarrassed at us, but thanks for being a good sport anyways! I had a lot of fun, and have decided next opening night is going to be "Pajama Night" for me.


Me, Lindsey, WhitneyThese are all girls from my ward!!

I had a ton of fun, loved the company, and will keep on keeping on with the tradition of the midnight showings!!

Thanks girls for a fabulous much needed night out, and especially Jennie for setting it all up! U R do best ;)

Soap in the Eye!

This morning Cole was taking a shower with Logan helping him, and he came out crying that he had soap in his eye. Logan had given him the normal soap to wash his hair instead of the baby shampoo, so when he was washing and rinsing his hair he got it in his eyes. Cole insisted he get a band-aid over his eye to make it feel better. It was quite hilarious!!

Popcorn Popping

Ty has taken a liking to popcorn. He has even learned how to say it :) It's the cutest thing ever! I swear he could eat a whole big bag if I let him. I even tried passing off the 100 calorie popcorn to slow down his carb intake, but he wouldn't have anything to do with that. He wants the full-on Movie Butter popcorn that is oh so delicious!

Happy Father's Day!!

This Father's Day I made an egg quiche (which I totally forgot to take a picture of) that was mighty tasty if I do say so myself. We then went to church where we had Marie Callender pies for the men. Afterwards we had the fam over for dinner of Alain's choice: hot dogs. Interesting, wouldn't you say?! He said it went well, and I think it did too. The boys were much, much better than they were on Mother's Day, and Alain was spoiled with niceness :) At preschool we made a hand print poem thingy, and Logan made Alain a beautiful mug... too bad you can't see how darn cute it is in the picture ;)
Alain is a fabulous father, and I couldn't ask for a better daddy for my kiddos.

Here's the gorgeous mug. It says, "Drink me up!"I forgot to add the cute BBQ brownie/cupcake we made. We used Hot Tamales for the hot dogs :)Aren't they just too cute for words?!

Totally Surprised!

If you know our little Ty-guy you know he is anything but quiet. So it came as quite a surprise today in church when I looked down at the chunker on my lap and he had his arms folded. That's right, folded!! They were saying one of the prayers and he had folded his arms all by himself. We're totally bad parents and haven't taught him this yet, so I guess he's just really smart! ;) It just goes to show that he watches and understands much, much more than we think he does. He even continued to do it throughout church with all of the rest of the prayers. It was a total surprise!! Good job Ty-genious :)
PS- I know you're thinking that your kids did this on their own too, just let me have my "Proud Mom" moment, okay?!

Cub Scout Day Camp-2010

This year's Day Camp's theme was "The Wild Wild West." It seemed like Logan (and Alain) had a lot of fun. The stake always does such a good job putting it together. I was surprised to find out that this is Logan's last year doing it. I had no clue that the cut-off age is 11, and next year's camp will be a couple weeks after Logan turns 11. So sad!! I don't know who's more upset about it, Alain or Logan ;) Logan has been very lucky to have had his dad in the Cub Scout program with him all of these years. Hopefully when he's older he'll see how nice it was. Actually, I know they both like having each other at Scouts (Alain's still cool; we haven't hit the "parents are embarrassing" phase yet), so I'm sure he already does appreciate it.

Anyhow, this is Logan's really good friend Cole. They hung out the entire time. I love that he has a good friend, and that they get along so well.Here we are waiting, ever so patiently, for the egg drop. Usually it takes forever, but this time it went pretty fast. (We're ALWAYS the last den to go. Go figure!) Cole was running around aimlessly the whole time, so he couldn't be found for a photo-op.
There she goes! Thanks to Alain's wonderful schematic design, the egg arrived safely on the ground.

Playtime... Outside!

The weather in Vegas is really warm in April, and since it was in the 80's last week, I decided to let Ty venture outside for the first time. (I know, I'm a protective freak of a parent, but he's the kid who would eat the dirt, rocks, grass and bugs. He'd probably also fall off of every toy out there and get a concussion. There are a million other things this rascal could get into.) Let me just say: he loved it! It was HOT out there, and his cheeks were bright red, but he was having so much fun. He found this ball and would not let go of it (so cute!).

Sticker Face

Ty is just a tiny bit obsessed with stickers. He had a sticker attack from his brother Cole, and since then he's been stuck (get it, stuck?). He finds stickers and and brings them up to me and sticks out his arm for me to put them on. It is so freaking cute!!I mean, seriously, how cute is that?!

Clark County Fair

We have now lived in Vegas for 12 years. One of the things that all "natives" talk about is the Clark County Fair in Logandale. We have also talked about it, but we've never gone. This year we decided that we were finally going to do it, and thanks to our good friends (the Terry's) we were able to go and have a blast. It was great because the boys had friends to run around with and go on the rides with. I didn't have a clue as to what to expect, but I was super excited because I grew up in an agricultural town and every summer we would go to the County Fair that was, luckily, in our town. It was huge!! Actually, it still is. I've always wanted to take my boys to the one in my home town, but we've never been able to make it work with our schedules. I have to say the CCF wasn't as big or nice, but it was still something fun for my kids to do. I was really excited to see that the carnival they had there was pretty good. We were surprised that there were so many kiddie rides for Cole to go on, so it was worth all the money we spent.Leslie is the best!! She took Cole on the rides for me so I could stay in the shade with Ty. Cole didn't want me taking him on the rides, so it worked out perfectly.
Logan hung out with Camden and Carson. They had so much fun together!! I was surprised they went on some pretty scary rides.

Thanks Terry's!!

Logan's Birthday Celebration

Since Logan didn't get a birthday party this year, he decided he wanted to go to Circus Circus and take a friend to a movie. We were cool with that except the weekend before his birthday we went to the Clark County Fair (see previous post) and they had a HUGE carnival extravaganza that they were able to experience, so we did that instead of Circus Circus. (He's holding out for Iron Man 2 to come out for his movie.) So since there wasn't anything for him to do on his birthday we took him and his friend Brady to Chuck E. Cheese's. He also got to go to Cheeburger Cheeburger with us and his grandparents. He acted like he was embarrassed when they sang to him, but we all know he loved it :) Everyone loved it and had a lot of fun. It was Ty's first time there, and he had a blast.
