Memorial Weekend

Well one things for sure...it will not be hard to top this year's Memorial Day!  The only fun thing we did was I took the kids to the zoo and we did have a great time!!!  Otherwise everyone in the family had the flu.  Honestly I have been cleaning all weekend in between getting sick myself and I could not wait for the weekend to be over, such a wast of a good weekend!  

I took these pictures last week.  What amazed me was how quickly after they both had their helmets on Cam turned to Becks and rammed him with the face mask and to think...this is only the beginning!!!  

Happy Birthday Grammie

Even though Grammie is far away we still want you to know that, We love you Grammie and hope you have a great Birthday!!!  Becks has been asking me all day when the party is.

And along with Grammie's Birthday, Kendal had her last day of preschool EVER!

Big Day

Tuesday night we had Kendal's Pre-Kindergrten performance, it was awesome.  Basically they sang a few songs and called out everyone's names but I really can't believe that next year she will be in Kindergarten... in some ways I feel like her life is just beginning.  

Walking in ... she was so excited.  That's her friend Colin behind her.  

Ready for the performance

Good idea gone typical 

I have NO idea what they are singing about... 

Can't you see it... T-13 years

Nana and Granda Visit

Here are several pictures from Nana and Granda's visit last week.  You will notice the pictures are not blurry.... because the camera is not mine!  

At Barnes and Noble for story time

Nana's Mother's Day present.  FYI - I did not tell Kendal to paint TCU, she thought of that all on her own (oh and the cross has Kendal, Beckett and Camden's name written on there)! 

I took the Bonjour's to Sedona for the day unfortunately it wasn't much cooler there.  I wonder what the psychic told them...

Cam LOVES his trains

Look quick... there's Daddy

Train ride 

The kids decided to display some books on Nana and Granda's bed

Story time at the bookstore ... it was a Dinosaur book so they did a Dinosaur craft.  Notice Becks does not even put down his treat for the picture... 

Story time at home (I think Kendal is tired)... 

 Time for Ice Cream.... check out Cam... he's hanging from the wall trying to get a good look at the toppings

At the park

Kendal, Becks and I built an awesome tower ... she found the stick to go on top

It's important to wear helmets while going down the slide

Mother'sDay

This year for Mother's Day we were lucky enough to spend the holiday with both Grammie and Nana! Even though Nana and Granda didn't arrive until midnight (hence no pictures) we got to enjoy them the rest of the week.  

Grammie opening her presents with Cam

A couple of weeks ago Grammie and Grandpa kept the kids while we were in Hawaii.  Grammie and Grandpa were brave enough to take the kids to the photographer so I could have the best Mother's Day pictures ever, we love them!!!!!!!!!!

My Mother's Day present from Brian, cleaning out the freezer (Cam assisting)...

Sorry about the zooming in and out, our camera does that automatically.

Last Week

Watching the Kentucky Derby

This is how my living room turned out 15 minutes later...

I am still stumped how they both fit on this car

Breakfast

Beck's first day of swimming lessons, he was all smiles HERE!  

Being Boys

Pretty sure I've never seen Kendal and any of her friends do this...

Practicing Swings

Just a little morning exercise.  I get a little tricked up in what sport is happening but Cam doesn't seem to notice.  

Sorry about the diaper - hate that!  

Hawaii

Last week Brian and I were lucky enough to go to Maui for a few days - (a million thanks to Grammie and Grandpa who made EVERYTHING possible)!!!!!!!!  It was so beautiful and we really enjoyed our time together just relaxing (I got to actually read a book)!

Brian and I went hiking not once but twice, that's right...twice (the most physical activity we've ever done together)!  Here is a picture on our second hike... the photo does not appear impressive but we were hiking up the mountain overlooking a river on one side and the ocean down below.  In fact we hiked up high enough to be "in" the clouds so our 5 mile hike could've stopped at 2 miles...the best part of the hike...but stopping halfway was not an option.  

Hiking the first day led us to a waterfall. The sign reads: "Danger Falling Rocks - Unsafe Beyond This Point."  Brian is such a daredevil.

Our hotel lobby

Really...does it get any better than this?!?!?!

Our hotel pool

If you make it here ask for Terry, she's best and quite the character!

So here's the funny part... Ironically Alcon's President's Club trip just happened to be in Hawaii not only at the same time as us but they were at the Grand Wailea, 2 doors down from us!!!  Even though we had a few Alcon people sightings we managed not be too noticed.  However, while driving down the road we looked over only to find the Alcon bus next to us, I HAD to take a picture (Brian didn't even look, haha).
