You're gonna miss this...

June 5th

Day 32
Early on Friday my stepdad and I got my cousin, Erin, from her house in Banks (which I'd never been to and after this last weekend I could probably get there with my eyes closed!) so that we could go get tattoos as her graduation present from Glenn and myself. My Mom and Stepdad took the kids and Glenn, Cassie, Erin and I went to downtown Portland so the girls could get tattoos. (And NO Glenn is not scared to get a tattoo he just wants one that's actually going to mean something to him and hasn't decided what that will be yet!) When we got there I realized that my wallett wasn't in my purse and I assumed it was at the house. So Glenn, being the loving person that he is, drove all the way back to hillsboro to get my wallett. While he was gone we decided Erin should go first, then Cassie, then me! Erin got her first tattoo, 3 magenta colored stars on her forearm. (She plans on adding to them, I think!) I called Glenn about a million times but he got stuck in traffic and it was taking him longer than expected so on with Cassie's. She got a black peace sign on her wrist. Glenn called me at this time and let me know that my wallett was in our car the whole time!! (whoops!) and was barley on his way back (and about to be stuck in traffic again) when she got done so we sat in the chairs in the waiting area and laughed and talked about how moronic it was that none of us thought to look in the car before Glenn drove all the way back! So we finally got my tattoo done (it took all of about 5 minutes), a simple tattoo that says love in black cursive letters with two red hearts.

Then it was back to banks for Erin's graduation. We all watched her walk across the stage and screamed and yelled as loud as we could and took about a bazillion pictures!

Sometime after that we lost Nolan's blue and yellow sandal. So hey, if you live in Banks and have one blue and yellow size 5 sandal, please....leave a comment ;)

Hide and Go Seek

Day 31
Today I've been working pretty hard, cleaning and trying to get everything ready for the 6+ hour drive to Portland tonight. We cleaned up all the rooms (except my own) and got everything packed and ready to boogie. I asked Brooke to finish picking up her toys in her bedroom that were by Nolan's crib while I picked up the toys in the living room. I grabbed all the toys and turned around and walked into Brooke's room and she was gone!
So I said "Brookie, where'd you go??" No answer. So I shouted a little louder "Brookelyn, where are you??" No answer. I tried not to panic but my hands started shaking and my heart started beating as I looked in the bathroom (not there) and in my room (not there either). So i ran for the front door and looked outside and shouted "Brooke if you're out here you'd better get your butt to Mommy NOW!" Fully knowing she couldn't have gotten the sliding glass door open and shut by herself, I thought I'd check anyways but she wasn't anywhere.
How does one of the WORST hide and seek players of all time, due to her giggling, hide where I can find her, in an apartment this small?! I decided to check the back rooms again and when I went into Brooke and Nolan's room I hear "tee heee heeeee" and see a foot sneaking back under the crib. So I grabbed the camera knowing she was safe and dropped to my stomach and said "I FOUND YOU!!"
But then we had a long talk about how she should tell mommy BEFORE she plays hide and seek, then I'd count and come find her. And also reminded her that opening the door for ANYTHING or ANYBODY is not OK if Mom and Dad don't say it's OK and will earn her a big time out.

Goober.

June 3rd

Day 30
First, June 3 is Shelby's birthday so, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHELB!!

And we tried Goober...(Haha yeah, that's what I said too!)

While shopping for more peanut butter and jelly, Glenn and Brookie decided we needed to buy Goober instead. And, while fake gagging, I couldn't help but admit that it would be a teeny tiny bit easier. I decided to taste it since I like peanut butter and jelly too and honestly, it tastes fine LOL, just like peanut butter and jelly. I'm glad we bought it, and Brooke LOVES the label!

Then later we got to watch our nephew Colin while Roxane and Bobby took Vanessa to the movies. He's like an older baby stuck in the body of a little baby! It's hilarious the way he's so small but he just takes off after my kids and crawls on top of stuff. He's a pretty happy and easy going kid!! We'd take him any time!

Jammies!

June 2nd

Day 29
The kids got new Jammies! And I'm in love! Brooke's have whales on them and Nolan's have dinosaurs on them! I wish they came in my size! But of course they wouldn't sit still TOGETHER to let me take a picture and this is the best one that I got!

Stupid Mosquito.

June 1st

Day 28
Sometime at the birthday parties on Sunday poor Brooke got eaten ALIVE by mosquitos. She calls them her moqwito bites. The worst of them were on her back but she also has SEVERAL on her legs and arms. It's so sad, she lays on the living room floor and rubs her back on the carpet or she'll lay her head in my lap and ask me to rub her back cause it itches so bad :( Here's my poor baby

Birthday Day!

Day 27
Today was LuLu's (sometimes also known as Kaylani) birthday. She turned the big 3 today and we just love her! So we went and they played with chalk and played in the pool and had a barbecue and watched her open presents. Your typical birthday party. I was really happy Kenzie invited us and it seemed like Lu had a great birthday!

We had to leave early because we had a dinner planned for the birthday's that Grammy and Grampy would be gone for! Nolan got a new book and some plastic rings! He was pretty excited and screamed at me till I got it all the way out of the package! We also had fun playing badmitton and croquet. I've never played croquet but I just don't have the patience for it. Or I didn't tonight at least and towards the end people started hucking balls across the yard and flinging the little fences. That was my cue to be done!! But it was tons of fun (even with out a net for badmitton-haha)

Here's Brookelyn in her par-tay outfit!

Twilight

May 30th

Day 26
We didn't do much on Saturday. Went to a friend's grand opening party...that was fun!! And then I decided to highlight my hair but by the time I got my hair through that super sexy cap I was TIRED, but I was definitely not giving up all that hard work for nothing!! So I set in with my Twilight book and read a couple pages and then when when it was done I took pictures of my new hair do :) It's super blond and I super love it! You can find the pictures by either going to my flickr or going to my face book (I'll probably upload them all tomorrow!!)

Twilight is my favorite book. Yeah some people say it's lame but I don't care I love it all the same! (Hahaha I'm a poet and didn't even know it!) I'm so excited to watch the New Moon Movie Premiere on the MTV Movie Awards!!
