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!

The Prince and The Pea!!!

Trey has not been sleeping very well lately! He has been coming into our room at about 2 in the morning every night and crawling in bed with us! I don't like it one bit! Sharing a bed with one boy (Richard) is enough! 2 boys in a bed means twice and much drool and twice as much snoring! A girl's gotta get her beauty rest! Richard was gone over the weekend and Trey came into our bed while he was gone! Trey and Jack have Richard and Matt's (Richard's brother) old bunk beds! Trey had the crappy old original mattress but fortunately for Jack he has a newer much softer and nicer one!

This is his mattress! It seriously was only a couple inches thick and it was hard as a rock!Trey had told me that he liked our bed because it was softer than his and his was not as cozy! I told Richard that day on the phone sort of joking but mostly not, that I thought that if he had a better mattress that maybe he would sleep better! Richard just sort of laughed it off and said, "Maybe, we will see what we can do!" Which in Husband language in case you don't speak it means...you're crazy and no! I didn't really think much about it after that! Later that night after Richard came home we went to go get something to eat! We passed a mattress store that was having a big sale and Richard stopped there and bought Trey a brand new mattress! I was totally shocked! He was in there for a total on 15 minutes! We loaded it in the back of the car, which I wish I would have got a picture of, and head home!

Trey is loving it! It is so cozy and soft! It is a pillow top after all! He has been sleeping so good! The first morning that he got up I asked him how his new bed was and he said, "it's so good mom, it's like I'm on a cloud it's so cozy and soft and warm!" He has been sleeping in so late and doesn't even want to get out of bed in the morning! I'm loving it because I get to have my whole side of the bed to myself and I'm loving that the boys are both sleeping in so that I can a little bit! Richard is such a great Dad and spoils us rotten! We love you and we love that we are all getting to sleep in comfort!

Lagoon, it's what fun is???

Warning...I'm not in a blogging mood so this post is going to probably reflect my less than excited attitude towards doing this! We went to Lagoon on Tuesday! We usually go every summer so this year wasn't any different! Most of us had a pretty good time one of us did not!

Trey spent the whole day like this! He was as happy as could be being at Lagoon!

Jack spent the day like this! Pretty much all day his face looked like this and he said his very favorite word the whole time..."no"! I don't know why but the girl in the back seat decided that she had to ride with the boys, the ride wasn't busy at all she could have had her own spaceship! I thought that it was a little bit weird! She also laid down in the seat when the ride started and Jack screamed the whole time!

Trey had fun riding the little boats by himself since Jack was not having anything to do with it!

We finally got him to ride the whales! He even cracked a smile on his cute little face!

I guess that Trey thought that picking his nose was better than this ride! Just Kidding he loved this ride he rode it a few times!

We rode the Train! It was a big hit Jack and Trey both liked seeing all the animals! We also went swimming, but I didn't get any pictures! That is when both of the boys were the happiest! The water was freezing but they both had so much fun sliding down the slides and just splashing around!

We ended the day like this more crying! This was after we swam and it was getting close to dinner time! Poor kid, I thought that he would be fine since we have been to Disneyland and he is always wonderful riding the rides! I don't think that he liked that he had to ride them without us...who knows!

Speaking of Disneyland...We are so excited we are going to be going back in October one last time before our Season Pass expires! We are going to the Halloween Trick or Treat party this time! I can't wait I live for Halloween it is going to be so much fun! We have already decided what our family is going to dress up as for the party! We are going as Toy Story!
I started to make Trey's costume Yesterday! I made him a little Woody vest he is going to look so cute! It turned out better than I could have imagined! I can't wait to get everyone elses going. Trey is being Woody, Jack is being Buzz, I'm being Jessie, and Richard is going to be Mr. Potato Head! I can't wait to go it is going to be so much fun....to bad it is so far away!!!
