Thanksgiving Point

We have loved our pass to Thanksgiving Point. I would have to say it is one of the best gifts I have ever been given (Thanks to my parents). It has definitely already paid for itself.

We have spent lots of time at the Children's Gardens playing in the water and doing all the fun activities!We went to the big gardens for family night last week. The theme was "space exploration" and it was so fun! The kids made homemade ice cream with "moon rocks," found out how much they would weigh on other planets, and made rockets and launched them! We can't wait to go back!The rocketsWatching them launchToday we went to the Farm!The pictures speak for themselves...my kids love it there! We can't wait to spend more time there this summer!

So fun!Have I ever mentioned how much I love this boy?!?BBQ with the fam!Ice cream with our dad!Celebrating Papa and Olivia's birthday!A bachelorette party for the "bride to be!"Ryan came and made us homemade pizzas on the grill!

They love Pam and they look forward to going every day! They took some underwater pictures the other day! Can you tell how much they love it? They smile under water!I probably have the best sisters ever! The other day we were at my parent's house and they ate popsicles with the boys and then carved the sticks and raced them down the gutter with the hose. We used to do it when we were little and the boys loved every minute of it!Is this not the cutest thing ever?We have spent the last few days hanging out at my parent's house playing in the pool, running through the sprinklers, racing popsicle sticks, making homemade ice cream and hanging out with cousins! The weather has been perfect and if you can't tell, we have been enjoying summer!

US OPEN 2010

We had so much fun in California! Luke and Emmett did awesome on the plane! We woke them up at 5:30 but you would never know, they were so happy! We spent the day in San Fran! We went to Golden Gate Park and then to the Giants vs. Orioles game to watch Jeremy pitch! It was so fun to see him live. It was a perfect day and again, the kids did great at the game!We tried this hat on Luke and this crazy lady insisted we buy it. It was the funniest thing ever. She went on and on about how she would "scrub all the floors in the world to be able to buy Luke that hat." How could I not buy it after her 10 minute lecture about how you "only live once." After I purchased it she followed us and kept talking and talking to me. She then gave me a hug and told me I shouldn't let strangers hold my baby but we weren't strangers anymore and she "had to hold him." I had to get a picture as proof. She really was a sweetheart!After the game we walked around the wharf, ate dinner, and got icecream at Giradhelli square. It was a great day!

We spent the rest of the weekend relaxing at Grandma's house on Pebble. It was so fun! Her house is on the 14th green and in her backyard she has a grand stand where you can stand and see the golfers tee off on 15. I stood 5 feet away from Tiger, Phil, and all the other golfers! It was so cool. I didn't take very many pictures because cameras are not allowed but this was taken from the front porch to give you an idea of how close we were!
Last but not least...a trip to Pebble would not be complete without eating breakfast at Little Swiss!It was a great trip! Thanks to my parents and Kelsey for taking Brady and Easton again! They had a great time staying with them and even spent a night in Park City! They went swimming!They went on a Gondola ride!Sunday night the boys prayed they could "sleep at Grandma's house tomorrow" and when we pulled up to my parent's on Monday afternoon they asked me if it was time for me to go out of town again. I wouldn't have missed me either! They are the best!

Tomorrow...

We are out of here! We will make our first stop hereto watch my cousin-in-law Jeremy Guthrie pitch and hang out in the city of San Fran!

Then we will spend the rest of the weekend here (Thanks EMILY for the picture)relaxing, shopping, enjoying good company, and watching the US OPEN up close and personal! A once in a lifetime experience! See ya next week!

Embarrassing...

Today I ran around like a mad woman trying to get some stuff done. The last thing on my list was to have my oil changed. I took the van to Jiffy Lube and walked across the street to a store. Easton started walking up to the manikins and hitting their bums and saying "I'm going to spank your bum". Okay seriously?!? I told him not to do that and we kept walking around. Pretty soon a lady walked by me and Easton walked up behind her and said, "I'm going to spank your bum" and actually DID!!! I couldn't believe it. My face went bright red and my eyes welled up with tears. I was so embarrassed I couldn't even talk. She laughed a little and said, "It's okay I had little boys once too". I told her it was not okay and that I was so sorry. I made Easton say sorry to her and then we left. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I still can't believe he did that...I wanted to die.

Wedding

Ryan has taught Luke how to "head butt" and he will do it on command. It is hilarious! For lots of wedding pictures check out my mom's blog HERE!

Mrs. Zmoos
