June 2014 Happy Birthday to Me

 Besides the fact of getting another year older, this birthday was AMAZEBALLS! It'll definitely be a hard one to top! The morning started off with waking up and finding this on my mirror....everyone else was still asleep but Brock was awoken by my sniffles and laughs. After reading each one of these messages I couldn't help but to just bawl my eyes out. I felt soooo LOVED and appreciated. Brock wrote all these things he loves about me (seriously, I was shocked there were so many).  Many made me laugh soooo hard and then I'd read another one and just start bawling, knowing that my husband totally understands me and loves all my corks and obsessive behaviors! I am truly one lucky woman!

 After Reagan ran into my room this morning and saw what Brock had done for me she quickly ran down stairs. Fifteen minutes later I was calling down to her, "Reagan you really have to come up now and get ready for school!" "OK, OK just come down now, she said." As I cam down she was still preparing, getting the last strawberries cut for my cereal. What a doll! She melts my heart daily!! My birthday just keeps getting better.

 Then later that day, after school, Easton comes in with these hiding behind his back. "Mom I have a surprise for you." After I'm done smooching his face off he puts them on the dresser and says, "Well it is your birthday and all mom." 

Unfortunately Brock had a work dinner tonight...so at about 7:00 I'm just about to put my kids to bed and I say Happy Birthday to momma! Let's go get some fro yo and you can even get a topping! Of course the kids were beyond excited not only to delay bed time but to go hog wild at the fro yo shop was the "cherry on top"!

 I'm sure they were happy to see us finally leave after I just let the twins run free. The twins were in heaven!

So a few days later my present came in the mail. It was a TOTAL surprise. I don't know how Brock pulled it off. Well actually I do, bc he told me how, AMAZING! I had been eyeing this Dooney and Bourke purse for months. Brock had no idea of this until just days before my bday when I randomly mentioned that I thought maybe my mom got it for me. He said to me, "I had no idea you even liked bags" Just when you think you know a person, right!? So he calls my mom and asks her if she did (nope) and then asks her about all the details. So he looks on line, calls the store, can't find it anywhere until the sales lady tells him to try the outlet store. She checks on her computer and somewhere in Connecticut an outlet store shows that they have one left. The only one left in the country. Brock calls, they see they have it and Brock is tripping out...he can't believe after all that, he actually found it and then to top it off she tells him it's on clearance for a quarter of the price. I swear he is the "purse whisperer"! Good luck topping this one family! You definitely outdid yourselves!!

June 2014 Reagan's school field day

The kids at school always swarm the twins. It's so cute to see home much everyone LOVES babies!

If you look closely you can see how Reagan got the twins hair (what little they have) wet and styled their hair into mohawks.

June 2014 Four Horseman Trip

 Woooohoooo!

 Harper was LOVING the splash pad...

...Scout was not

Our yearly "Four Horseman" trip was at the Lawrence Welk Resort in San Diego this year. 

We made new friends with our neighbors.

BBQing, playing baseball and 3 flies up

Reagan is loving life....all these girls just follow her around like she is the Pied Piper. Here they are playing beauty salon, getting their hair and makeup done. 

The Four Horseman playing some early morning golf

When they got to the hole right outside our room they gave us a call and the kids went running.

While the guys were golfing we decided to play some games and distract them so they didn't do this (play video games) all morning.

We started off with a coloring contest.

Here EZ is winning his drawing award.

Then we moved on to some old fashioned "Red Light Green Light".

Finally the dads got home and it was off to the pool!

 

After hours of swimming we headed over to make Sundays and play video games at one of the club houses by our room.

 

Poor Harper, getting her breathing treatment. The day before we left I took her to the doctor bc her breathing was so labored. Poor girl had to spend a lot of her vacation hooked to this contraption. She was not a fan!!

Happy Father's Day to this group of AWESOME dads!

Here's Steph putting on a delicious Father's Day breakfast spread for all of us.

Feeding the babies their oatmeal

Here's Daddy opening some of his father's day gifts.

 Before we left San Diego Brock 's Father's Day request was that we go see the USS Midway

 These girls were the wiggliest little worms. They wanted to run around soooo badly!

 This flight simulator ride was really cool. You got to feel what it was like to be on a real plane going upside down and all around!

When Reagan got out she asked me if I could hear Brock. "Dad kept hooting and hollering and it was so embarrassing mom." Well Reagan, welcome to a life time of embarrassment with Daddy! It's only just begun...I feel bad for her when she starts dating. Brock it going to tease her to no end!

 EZ wanted to rest and Scout wanted out. I could only follow one twin at a time while they ran around "buck wild" getting their willies out while we waited for Reagan and Dad to finish the flight simulator ride.

 Reagan and Easton were loving listening to all the clues on the audio so they could answer all the questions on their pamphlets to become Jr. flight commanders.

The USS Ronald Reagan

 Here they are earning their wings. As soon as we got home that night Reagan had me print out pictures so she could label all of them and present them to her class for a "share" the next morning. I am glad she's so "on the ball"... but I need her to share some of her energy so I can keep up with her!

 The kids were so sad they had forgotten to take the gifts they made for dad at school, to LW. As soon as we got home from San Diego they ran in and gave dad his gifts. Happy Father's Day to the best Father there EVER was and is! You are truly one of a kind and our babies are the luckiest kids on earth!!
