"I can't, I'm on the ground!"

Cat in the Hat, with Michael Meyers, was on TV the other night, so I recorded it thinking that it would be cute for the kids to watch...well, some parts are a little mature for a 5 and 2 year old. Anyway, Tanner picked up a funny idea from the movie and decided to try it with Logan, who does what ever his older brother tells him to do. He attempted to "hang Logan up" with a hanger, like the Cat does to the babysitter in the movie and when it didn't work, he just hung him up (on their bedroom door), by his shirt. I had sent them to the playroom to play while I did the dishes and when I heard a frightening squeal from Logan, I ran in the room. Tanner had used a chair, propped up on their table to get Logan up there. I wanted so much to take a picture, but I didn't want Tanner to think this was funny. After I calmed Logan down, I preceded to scold Tanner, who clearly knew this was not OK. I told him he was "grounded" for the rest of the night. Later, I heard him yelling out the window to some friends, "I can't play, I'm on the ground" This is the second time he has told his friends that he is "on the ground", I'm sure their parents are beginning to get suspicious!

Sorry, Jaime, you are worse than me! :)

Some of the video is replaced with real major league baseball footage, but it's still fun to watch!

"What time is it, Summer Time..."

Many of you may not be as "with it" as I am, but in case you missed it, the world premiere of High School Musical 2 was on Disney Channel last weekend. Boy, were we excited (and by we, I mean me and Tanner). We had a count down on Tanner's calender and would occasionally turn on the Disney Channel to check out how many hours were left (they kept a running count down in the upper right hand corner the entire day). We gave the boys late naps on Friday so that they could stay awake until 10:00--I know, that's totally against my mommy rules-- and watch the big premiere as a family. We made popcorn and lemonade and ate popsicles. What a party! As you can see, Jake was thrilled to spend his Friday night watching Zac Efron struggle through high school. Thanks Dad for being a good sport. I on the other hand, really enjoyed it. The music and dancing were lots of fun. Good thing I am a fan, because we saved it on out DVR and have watched it several times this week. And if we are not watching it, we are listening to the soundtrack! My favorite song, you ask? "I don't dance"

Tanner's first "Double Date"??

So Kevin Andrus invited Tanner to go to the Dodger game with him and his twin daughters last week. When Tanner found out that I nor Jake would be going with him he said, "Mom, it's kinda like a a two date. One boy and two dates." I said, "You mean, a double date?" "Yeah, a double date!" The twins came to our house for about an hour before the game and I've never seen Tanner act more like his Dad in front of the ladies! He was trying to crack jokes, do silly tricks and brag to them that he was soon to be in Kindergarten. What a show-off! I barely recognized my usually timid son.

The pictures are great. He asked if he could put his arms around the girls in the first picture (what a gentleman) and in the second picture you can see that Logan snuck in and grabbed Bailey's hand. If you look closely, you notice that Tanner is trying to push him away but Bailey is considering his offer. It's already started...my boys are fighting over girls!

Another one of my favorites!

I am so sorry the season is over. Good thing I've saved most of the episodes on DVR!! Yeah Sabra, she and Danny were my favorites...Oh, and Neil too!

One of my favorite routines this season...

7 years!!

Today is our seventh anniversary! 3 kids and a few pounds later, we're still having fun! Last night I watched our wedding video and tried to figure out who those people are and how much life has changed since then. It's hard to avoid life's daily distractions and try to bring back that feeling that was felt on that special day. Life has definitely not been smooth sailing for us, but we sure have enjoyed the ride.
I was talking to Tanner about what an anniversary is and that Sunday was mine and Daddy's. I showed him pictures from my wedding album and he said, "I was happy that day. Me and the brothers were happy that day." That statement made the past seven years more worth it! I love you, Jake. No "seven year itch" for me!

Our Couple goals for year 8:

*Get to bed by 10:30

Yeah Beckham!

So Jake leans over to me Tuesday night and says, "You want to go see Beckham tomorrow for our anniversary? I think we can get tickets." Just what I wanted, how did Jake know? :) Well, he lost the bidding war on E-Bay (twice), so we decided to just go down to the stadium and see if there where any good tickets left. We ended up getting front row tickets! It was great to see Beckham score his first goal after coming to the U.S and after seeing him close up...I now have a new obsession with soccer! :) Go Galaxy!

We Love Elder Cory

My brother, Cory, is celebrating his half way mark as a missionary. He is serving in Warsaw, Poland and we couldn't be more proud of him. It has not been easy, but he never murmurs a word of complaint. We just wanted him to know that we love and miss him and are thinking of him, this week especially. Congratulations, Starszy Boyack.

Are tax payers paying for prison choreographers? :)

I saw this on the news and thought it was hilarious. These are prisoners in the Philippines that do this for their daily exercise. What ever happened to jogging?
