Cardinals' Game @ University of Phoenix Stadium

We had so much fun at this game!

The Rams got slaughtered and it was great! We were so touched that Jose' gave us his tickets and wouldn't take any money for them. The seats were amazing and some fun memories were definitely made with our 2 big boys!

Luke's Birthday Festivities

Luke had a great birthday this year! He got to celebrate A LOT! His birthday was on Thursday the 4th. The kids got out of school early that day, so I thought it would be fun to take him to lunch. Several of our good buddies met us at Peter Piper Pizza and the kids played and played and played.

Later that day, Luke's grandma picked him up and took him to the store to let him choose his present! And then she took him to dinner at Red Lobster where he got to devour crab legs! Alayna joined them at the restaurant, too!

On Saturday the 6th, we had Luke's official party! We had it at the park in our neighborhood and all of the kids had a lot of fun. We had a football toss, played flag football, and also had a football pinata! About 10 of Luke's friends were able to come, along with a few of Mommy's friends! Luke got a lot of MatchBox cars, Lego's, Transformers, and football gear this year. He LOVES cars/trucks and knows just about every make and model.

To top it all off, one of Curt's co-workers gave us his 4 tickets to the Rams/Cardinals game that next day!! Yes, it was on a Sunday...but we DID go to church first :) The seats were amazing and we all had SO MUCH FUN!! Jake stayed with Grandma and Grandpa...and got filled up on cookies from their bishop:)

Pictures from the game will be coming soon....

Happy 7th Birthday, Luke!!! We love you so very much.

Bribery, More Tattoo's, and Therapy

This is how I may or may not bribe my children so that I can get some things done!

Jake and his tatt's
...On his chubby knees this time.

We found out this week that Jake does qualify for Speech Therapy through the state's Early Intervention program. His first therapy session is scheduled for Dec. 9th. I am happy to be able to get him into this program and to help him learn the tools he needs to be able to communicate better. I am anxious to see his progress!

A Day At the Park With Mommy...

Last Saturday, since Curt had to work,

I decided that the boys deserved to do something fun!

So we made some PB & J sandwiches and

drove to a fun park located about a mile from our house.

We had a picnic at the park and it was a lot of fun!

Unfortunately, we weren't able to stay as long as I had planned because someone had a poopy diaper and guess who forgot to bring a spare diaper and some wipes??

ME!! I made it up to the boys though because I took them to ANOTHER park later that day after Jake had woken up from his nap.

...Having a hard time getting everyone's noggin in the picture...so I opted for indiv. shots with Mom.

Jake (below) makes this hilarious face when we tell him to smile!

This picture of Jake is so cute because I had asked him where Mommy was...and I got a shot of him pointing to me.

As we were leaving, the kids spotted a Road Runner!

We HAD to get some pictures! Jake and Ty were chasing it, of course!
