Three Years Old!!!!!!

What can I say the invitation says it all... Our LITTLE BIG MAN is turning THREE!!! (Just let me tell you I had to bribe him to pose the "Hang Loose Sign") and it didn't even turn out to be the right sign......But, I thought the invite turned out so dang cute!

The funniest part about the day was when Jace got the Happy Birthday Phone Calls...Heather, Jordan, Reggie, and Ellsie was the first of the calls and no doubt they all started to sing "The Song" and click!!! Jace hung up the phone...They called back and started over & Jace went to hang up the phone for the second time......and then he cried instead (and they stopped singing.). His dad called him up and he wouldn't stop bawling "I hate that song STOP singing it! click!!! We had lots of hang ups and crying through out the day. But, we had a GREAT turn out! We are so glad that our FUN cousins and friends made it to the party!

The Cake was so darling, Heidi Smith decorate it and she did a Fabulous job!! And just let me tell you, the Cake & Cup Cakes tasted as good as the cake looked.....I cant believe how big my Jace is getting 3 years old (WOW!) Happy Birthday Jace I love you!

1st Swimming Lesson

Today is the Day!!!!!!

Jaces first SWIMMING LESSON

I could not believe how great Jace did swimming with cute Shaylee Peterson...Watch out Michael Phelps!!!!

Vintage Sports

We moved Jace in his new bedroom about 2 weeks before Briggs was born. And I have slowly been working on completing the project.

It is finally finished!!!!

I had the hardest time picking out "THE THEME" on what I wanted to decorate around. When Jace was born I came up with the cutest Beach Baby Nursery. I thought that I set the bar pretty high. But it finally it came to me, when I was searching on line in Horchow.com and I found the four pictures. I loved them, and everything else just fell into place....

VINTAGE SPORTS!

Briggs is 6 months today!!!!

I just can't believe that my baby is 6 months old today!

It is crazy to see how time goes by so quickly.... I took this picture this morning of Briggs, and as I was looking at him I could not tell who he looked like. So, I pulled out the old Scrapbooks and started to look. As you can see I thinkhe looks like his Daddy.... I think Jace looks more like me.

What do you think?

San Diego Fun!!!

I just love this time of year...The weather is so nice, and it always seems to me when the weather gets warm it gets you in the VACATION mode....You are just wanting to bust out and do something fun! Well we did bust out for sure, but this time with the Fillmore Fam!

Ryan and I have been married for 91/2 years. I can honestly say that this is the first time we have ever gone out of town with Ry's dad since we have been hitched...... And let me tell you I don't know why we have waited for so long? Because we had a ball!!!

Me, Heather, Reggie, Ellsie, Jordan, Gram Jeri, Jace, Ryan, Pop Paul and Briggs

(What a crew!)

We got to San Diego Friday night about 10pm and the kids were so excited to hit Sea World first thing in the morning..

Pop and Gram were such great sports keeping up with the crazy kids...
Jace just loved the SHARKS!!!!!
After all day at Sea World, we headed down to the beach to relax.

Then Sunday Morning we were off to the ZOO..




Jace was so excited to see the Rhino's, Giraffes, and Elephants he couldn't stop talking about them... And everyone that knows Jace( knows he doesn't stop talking!!!)
We left about 4:30 and hit the road back home...
What a fun quick trip, we are so lucky to have such a wonderful family...

Lake Time!

This was Briggs first LAKE trip!!

And he absolutely loved it(phew)because this is going to be his first of many this year.

I can't believe that it is the end of April and we just took the boat out.. Usually we start the season as early as the end of February. But this year It has been to to COLD! As you can see in the background of the boys I couldn't tell if it was snowing on Pine Valley or raining?

When we first got to the lake we thought it was going to be really nice, but you know that dang wind always starts up and it is the worst... We beached it and the only way the kid could stay warm was to dig a hole and bury them in the sand.. (After that they warmed right up). Then we played a little base ball, had some snacks, and It was go time for the kids (THE TUBE!!!) I don't know what It is about that thing but the water was 64 degrees and the kids were all of a sudden in it.

(YIKES!)
