summer!!! YEAH!.....very long post

wow! it's summer! holy moly! the big boys are in day camp, and lovin' it! Jonah is gearing up to start pre-school in late July!! what will i do with myself?

so a little recap of the weeks past...

when Jason came home we had our traditional jaunt to Vegas for a little reconnection...it was great! we did it last time he came home from deployment and it was so nice to just spend some *alone time* with my long lost hubby! we saw Todd and Craig, went to Jeni's sisters wedding...and got to spend some time with my mom! she took us to her favorite place to hike. Red Rock. it was so hot! i was *NOT that into it* but i powered through and in the end i was happy i did it and got to see my mommy. It was beautiful out here. i will admit. Afterward, we went for some celebratory SUSHI at the best place ever! Sushi on Rainbow. seriously, if you are in the Las Vegas area, look it up. amazing!

after Vegas it was home to the boys, who were eagerly waiting for Daddy! we have been having a blast with the boys! it's amazing how the stress level in the house has diminished since Jasy's been home. it's so pleasant! We've been swimming. alot! it's been quite hot the past few days!

On Sunday we went to the new *childrens museum* downtown. it was really cool! they boys had so much fun! Colby painted a vw beetle! James, Dad and Jo rode these wooden scooters called *legways* it was awesome!

they also have this cool room set up with tons of mattresses and pillows so the kids just have a huge pillow fight!!! so fun! there is a *port a party*, a rock climbing wall with amazing art murals, the under water experience
and a dress up area!

good times!

wow.

another scrappy post...

Hey!! forund this site where you can try out digital scrapping! here is my first didgi page! you can access it here
it's basic, but i like it. i think... i still prefer the cutting and pasting. this is to clicky. i don't think i'm a fan...yet. but it was cool.
here is a new *real* layout i did

and a card for my mom. it's her birthday on monday!
here are a few new pics of the boys running through the sprinklers! too cute!

good news!

i was asked by the store to teach my mobile class!!! they said that since i took it in yesterday, they had half a dozen people asking if it was a class!!! wahoo! it will probably be in July! i'm so excited! so if your in the San Diego/El Cajon area please come!! i'd love it!

in other{not so good} news...we have a sick kiddo. Colby is not well. He did'nt even want to go to James soccer party at the boardwalk!!! he loves that place. So we took him anyway, thinking that he would be fine once he was there { come on, i'm not the only one who's done it!} ....and as soon as we walked into the party room...he threw up all over the place. geez, i felt terrible! he was so helpless. i felt so bad. so, needless to say, we left... he threw up in the car on the way home and again once we got home. now he's sleeping. He also missed his soccer party at Chuckie Cheese. poor guy. Grandpa and Nana were so nice to go get his trophy for him. thanks guys.

more later...
