Big Blue!!!

Yesterday was the big day, it was the day of Trey's little friend Emmie's bday party! He was so excited to go not only because it was his first friend bday part to go to, but also Big Blue was going to be there! We had gone to the Home Depot about an hour before the party was going to start and he was freaking out because he thought for sure that we were going to late! But we made it right on time!

Big Blue was there when we got there and he wasted no time in teasing Trey Baby!
Jack was totally afraid! I don't know why, he isn't afraid of the people at Disneyland! But it's okay because Richard was just as excited as Trey that he got to be at a 5 year olds Birthday Party with Big Blue!

Trey had fun with him all night long!

Trey hitting the Pinata!

Big Blue cuddling the Trey Baby!

High Five on the swing!

This is about as close as Jack would get to Big Blue!

Trey wearing the Big Blue hat!

Trey wishing Emmie a Happy Birthday!

Jack pretty much was happy if we were feeding him something sweet! I think that he ate enough cake for 3 people!

On the walk home to our house Jack was looking through his bag for something else that was sweet to eat!

Thanks so much to the Foster family for inviting us to Emmie's party! We had a great time celebrating Emmie's big day and we loved hanging out with Big Blue!

Name's Bruce!!!!

We have some really great neighbors! But our most favorite neighbors of all are the Hunters! They are just amazing, they love the boys and they are always around to help us out with a project we are doing or just to sit and talk and laugh! We love them! Jack and Trey both love Bruce he has a really awesome Harley and the boys just love it! Yesterday when we were walking home from church Kathy asked Trey if he wanted to come out later and Bruce would let him sit on his bike! Trey was really excited and couldn't wait! Well the time finally came and not only did Bruce let him sit on the bike he let him start it up!

Here is Bruce showing Trey what to do!

Push that button right there!

Holy cow it was so loud I think that it scared him a little but he was trying to be brave in front of Bruce! I could see his little legs shaking, good thing Bruce was hanging on tight!

Jack hated the whole thing! It was just to loud for him. maybe when he's a little older!

Kathy gave Trey a Harley Davidson bandanna after he got off! He looked so cute!

Bruce helped him check it out in the mirror!

Sitting on the beautiful bike!

Bruce and Kathy totally made his day! I just love them so much they are so sweet to the boys! Jack is usually so scared of most people but he has really warmed up to Bruce and Kathy...probably because he sees them everyday! Jack waits for Brucey (that is what Jack calls him) to come outside so he can say hi and he loves to watch Kathy mow the lawn! Bruce has sat in the grass with the boys and his Grandkids and colored rocks with them! Kathy said the it was because he couldn't get up, but I like to think it was because he wanted to! Kathy has even had a squirt gun fight with the boys! They are just amazing I can't say it enough! We are so lucky to live by two amazing people!!

The Hunger!!!

Yesterday we got invited to the birthday party of a little girl down the street! I started brain storming about what we would get her since the party is only a few days away! This girl is super girly and loves to dress Trey up like a princess! That is a story for another day! So I thought we could make her a Tutu for her... and her alone to dress up in! I didn't really know how big to make it, I took one look at Trey and knew! This is what ended up happening!

I promised that I would never do this to my boys but it happened! I put him in the tutu then I couldn't resist putting a flower headband on him! I stopped myself there though!

Trey briefly turned back into a boy and thought that he was on Star Trek with a Tutu on!

I really tried to get Jack in the Tutu, because he would make a beautiful baby girl but he was smarter than Trey! He just put on a head band and said an absolutely not "NO"!

Trey was done taking pics at this point and realized he was probably embarrassing himself by dressing like a girl! Oh Princess Trey how I love you! This filled my "I need a baby girl" hunger for a moment! I have now snapped back into reality of BOYS!!!

We {heart} America Part 3!!!

Last night we had the Roper and Johnson Families and John ;) over for a July 4th BBQ! This was the first BBQ that we have ever had at our house it was a good excuse for us to finally buy a grill and have a party! It was such a nice night the weather was just right not hot at all which is rare for our backyard! We don't really have any good shade trees so usually it is so hot, but it was great!

Here is Trey with Oakley and Ira enjoying all of the food!
This was my favorite pic of the whole night! Spence needed a bottle opener and Luke just happened to have one on the bottom of his shoe! If that is not American then I don't know what is!

Here is Richard with the new grill! He was a great cook and I can't wait for him to grill something again....Like tonight!

Spence was great playing football with all the kids they all had a great time!

Tenzing and Jack sort of played with each other they are going to be great friends! I have high hopes!

Tenzing likes to hit the bottle every now and then!

Jack loves to mow the lawn all the time!

They also liked to see what was going on next door!

Tenzing loved him a cupcake! I'm glad because they didn't turn out to pretty!

Me in a Roper sandwich! I just love these two!

All the gamers playing ticket to ride!

Trey loved doing sparklers!

Jack trying his hand at the sparkler business!

Jack dancing with this glow stick on his leg!

Our party looked huge when we were all watching Richard and Spence's kaboom of doom Firework show!

Trey getting tired!

Jack just liked to move his chair from place to place!

Me and the Bair!

My camera made the fireworks look crazy!

This is a real firework show when it looks like a huge fireball! We had such a good time! We have such great friends in our lives! We always have a great time when we get together! All the kids get along great and all the guys have a major bromance! We had a great 4th of July and can't wait for more BBQ's with friends an family! We hope that you all had as great of a time as we did!

We {heart} America Part 2!!!

Continuing on with our We {heart} America series!!! Yesterday we went to the Cruise in! I just love to go to it we get to see all kinds of cool cars and even better Tramp Stamps! I love it!!! We had a small dilemma this year! We usually sat at the Logan Art Cinema a Theatre that Richard use to run but they got rid of it this year and now someone else owns it! The problem was that well we couldn't sit there anymore! We found a new spot though and I think that it might be even better because we roped off enough of an area that the kids could run and play and it was pretty shady and easy to get out of when it was time to leave!

We got to see some really cool old cars along with this neat tonka truck it was one of Trey's favorites of the night!

We had all of our friends come sit with us this year! This is little Gracie Bug wondering why I was taking a picture of her!

Trey and and Jack's little friend Tenzing watching the police cars!

Jack sat on Richard's lap pretty much all but the last 10 minutes that we were there!

Trey playing with Oakley and Ira!

All of the kids except Jack who was still sitting of Richard's lap!

Yes there he is with my gangster husband! We had such a good time visiting with our friends the Roper's and the Johnson's! We are having such a good time and we are getting ready for a BBQ with them tonight! We are also having Richard's new tradition the Kaboom of Doom Firework show tonight so tune in tomorrow for some more of our American fun!!!

We {heart} America Part 1!!!

We have tons of things that we do during 4th of July weekend so I thought that I would break everything up as the days go by so that I don't have to do a huge gigantic post! Last night we went to the Logan Fireworks with my Dad it's kind of our tradition! We sit up by the hospital, we have to get there kind of early to get a seat! But it is fun to just sit around and visit and let the boys run all over the place! Richard always has to work the night of the fireworks so we drop him off and then when he is done he walks up to meet us! He always makes it just in time!

Jack got himself stuck in his chair!
Uncle Shayne and Trey loved themselves some crackers!

Uncle Shayne and Trey being all cool for the ladies! Trey just loves his Uncle Shayne! They are like two peas in a pod!

Trey Baby getting all cozy for the fireworks! He was so excited! He couldn't stop talking the whole time that they were going. He was asking everyone what was their favorite and looking for them so that he could tell everyone when their favorite one would go off!

Grandpa Bair and Jacky Bair watching the show!

Me and my Trey Baby!

The Fireworks or the Booms as we call them!

Daddy and Jack! Richard likes to dress to impress when he watches the Booms!

Me and the Bair! I was starting to look a little rough by this point! My allergies are awful this year and I look like I had been beat in the face by the time I got home! We finally made it after the show, both of the boys were asleep and I was ready to take some benadryl! We had such a good night with the family, we look forward to it every year! Today we are hitting the cruise in with some friends so come back tomorrow for all that fun stuff!
