Making a list or 3

Tonight is the night to get it all done.  Have to pack, pack and pack some more.  We are leaving tomorrow for a week of adventure and togetherness.  10-13 hours in the car, towing a trailer.....I may run away tonight.

We are headed up to see my parents.  Will be parking the trailer at their house and at my Aunt Rose's on Sat/Sun night.  She is having the big 4th of July BBQ again.

Will try and visit some high school chums as well.

Keep your fingers crossed all goes well and I don't have to run away screaming into the night.

Have a happy 4th!

Sometimes

Exhaustion wins

Ronan didn't nap today.  He pitched a major fit when I left to pickup our dinner, but he wouldn't put on any clothes so I said he couldn't go.  When I got back this is what I saw when I walked in the door.  (he had been nekkid most of the day.  He's a major nudist)

Happy Saturday

Today my friend Penelope and  I participated in the Gene Cerise Memorial Ride.  We rode up to the lighthouse and back.  Considering she is recovering from a crash and I haven't ridden since May we decided to err on the side of caution and not attempt going all the way to Ragged Point.

Made it

And of course no ride up the coast is complete without stopping off and visiting the elephant seals.

 Ah what a beautiful sight

Once back at the starting point we enjoyed a salmon BBQ with Ollallieberrie cobbler for dessert.  YUM. We were stuffed, even managed to ride up both hills to my house without passing out or puking.  Double plus.  

The boys were not back from swim yet so I got to enjoy a nice leisurely shower with no one yelling MOM or banging on the door.  BLISS.

Dare I say it?

We are done with.............


DIAPERS!

Hope I didn't just jinx myself but its been two weeks since Ronan has had an accident.  And he's been sleeping in undies every night and so far (cross fingers, knock wood, say a prayer) he has not had a night accident.

WOOT.

Do a little dance around the roooom!

Logan's present for Daddy

Ha as handsome as a mama!

Ronan made one too, he didn't draw as many pictures as Logan did

In case you cant read that it says "my daddy is as strong as ..... big man"

"One thing I want to tell my daddy is .... Hi"

Tooo cute, I love this stuff

Slug Bug

We made the mistake of explaining this commercial to Logan



So now Logan has taken to slug bugging everytime he sees a bug. (we told him it was only for the bug style cars)

He gets such enjoyment out of it. Its downright hysterical.

We were leaving the gym one night and he was running towards the car, noticed a green bug in the parking lot, did a 180 and came over and bopped me one.

And of course its COMPLETELY NOT FAIR if I see it first and get him.

Ahh the joys of slugbug.

Happy Birthday to Judd (yesterday)

Judd hit the big 40 mark yesterday.  I surprised him with a friend.  I planned a golf outing and we left for swim lessons.  He thought he was just going to meet Clay and Beau at the golf course.  He came upstairs to find Deryck.  He rode 18 hours on the train to come down.  Now thats a friend!

They headed off to golf and after a delay in start had a good time.  None of them are particularly good but each had a few moments of "hey that went just where I wanted it to) 

Ronan had his first time in the "big kid" swim class.  Luckily it was just Logan in there with him so it wasn't too crazy.  He did pretty good.  She started to teach him the chicken, airplane, rocket sequence.

Logan also got his present from Gramma and Grandpa,  he loves it

After the golf outing it was time to head to dinner.  We went to Shawns on Main in Morro Bay.  It was DIVINE.

First course was a mixed green salad or roasted pepper soup.  2nd course was bruschetta with goat cheese and roasted tomato or seared ahi.

3rd course was grilled tiger shrimp or flat iron steak

and dessert was chocolate almond sticky toffee pudding or cherry pot de creme

We left stuffed to the brim.  Very yummy.

Deryck is a chef so today Judd wants to take him to Taco Temple.  The boys and  I are going to a birthday party

ALC 9

The Aids Lifecycle ride passed through Tuesday night and Wednesday.  My friend Pen and I took a couple of Ollalieberrie sheet cakes down as a treat for riders and crew.  At first it was slow going but once people found out there was cake we went through it in short order.  It was really fun talking with them and just showing some appreciation for all their hard work.

Ahhh that brings back memories.    I so want to do this ride again.  I think I may be a little bit crazy but I will do it again at some point......

We had to hang a few signs as well

Ahhhh, next year I'm totally taking Wednesday off and dressing up in crazy costumes and cheering all day long.

We stopped at the start of 46 to cheer them on as they started their day.  It was so awesome.  Logan was jumping up and down with excitement everytime one of the moto safety people waved at him.  The riders loved seeing the boys out there waving.  One lady even came over and gave them some super bouncy balls.  How nice was that?

Fun Fun Fun

Sunday we went for a test run on the new scooter and played at the beach

Prepare to run, wait for it....

no way I'm running now!

Wheeeeee

Try it again

Does that say JOY or what?

Ronan made Daddy push him

The boys playing drive through

Moving on up...

to the Primary Class!

and just a cute pic from yesterday

Party Time

Pool Party! 

We had loads of fun, several friends showed up so Logan and Ronan had lots of friends to play with.  It was hard to pry them out of the pool to eat but when we said the magic word (cake) you never saw kids move so fast!

Here is Ronan with his bestie Parker

Logan with a good friend Alex

Playing with Victor and Elijah and Alex

Splashing Victor

Everyone eating

Presents!

He got lots of cool goodies. 

Tomorrow we are headed to the park to scooter.
