I love my kids!

Josh took Tyler with him to the Dodger "all you can eat" right field on Saturday. All of the Bladh boys went and they ate way too many hotdogs, nachos, peanuts, sodas, etc. Not to mention it was 110' that day and they were there for the noon game. I just told Josh to pour water on him every inning and cake the sunscreen on. Regardless they had a blast.
Here Tyler is driving home from the game. Poor guy he was so tired.

Every now and then in the morning I will go into Elle's room and find Tyler has climbed into the crib with her and he has filled it with tons of toys. Last week I took these pictures because it was just so cute. Not to mention Elle is totally walking now. I've been meaning to get it on video. Maybe next week.


Tyler just had his birthday and Josh's mom got him these socks that needed to be first placed in water to expand into socks. So we put them in the sink and they of course turned into socks. We were up really late that night. We put up his new trampoline and he didn't get into bed until 10:30. When I told him it was time for bed he just threw himself crying, "I'm not even tired." I had to fight him to get on his pjs, and to brush his teeth, and to say his prayers. He literally cried and yelled out I don't like you's and you are mean's. It was so sad, but kind of funny at the same time. Anyways, the socks... As we finished brushing his teeth he told me he wanted to wear his socks to bed. Now they were still soaking wet in his sink and so of course I told him absolutely not. I decided I didn't want to fight anymore and I put the socks on thinking he would take them off right away. He didn't and went to bed with them on. I barely got to take this picture of him.

Flat Tire Again!

My sister, Kristi, just finished High School and she invited me to her graduation from Don Lugo High School. I was suppose to take the kids with me to the restaurant then drop them off at Grandpa and Grammie Bladh's home because Josh was working, then meet over at my parents and go to the graduation. Well, on our way to the restaurant I thought I hit something in the road, but I think that a lot because I am so prone to getting flat tires. In fact I have already gotten one this year and had 2 last year. So I keep driving because if you know Archibald, it feels like you have a flat tire when you are driving on it anyways. I get on the freeway and I drive about 4 miles and then I hear this awful sound. Like someone's muffler is gone. I notice people starring at me so I get over and sure enough less then a mile from off of the freeway and my tire is completely flat. We waited about 40 min. on the freeway until Josh's parents got the kids, my dad came to pick me up, and AAA came to change my tire. It wasn't all too bad. I missed dinner, but made it to the graduation. Here are some pictures of our event. Just glad I didn't have to change the tire!

Our getaway

We just got back from a weekend cruise without the kids and it was so relaxing and fun. It definitely wasn't like a week cruise but hey it was without kids. We didn't even get off of the boat because when we arrived in Ensenada we looked out and decided that the ship was nicer. We pretty much layed out in the sun, ate, slept, and made some new friends. We were so nervous that we'd get put at a table with people we didn't want to talk to, but we ended up making friends with another couple and hung out with them almost the entire time. I forgot my makeup... my worst nightmare. I had this feeling I was going to do it and of course I did. So I bought some mascara on the ship and then one night I went to the gift shop and used their tester makeup. I know that sounds bad but we got so much sun that my face looked blotchy and I didn't want to spend $75 on cover up if I didn't like. If you've never been on a cruise or have only been on a weekend one; nothing compares to a week cruise. The ship, the food, the entertainment, and the people on the ship are much better. We are looking forward to our week one to Mexican Riviera in Sept. I think we still have one more cabin if anyone wants to go! Here's some pictures
