Funny Conversations with Delaney and Bryse

I had to share this conversation between Delaney and Bryse this evening before I forget it......

D: Bryse, do you want to sleep in your bed like a big boy?
B: No.
D: But Bryse, all your friends (stuffed animals) are in your bed.
B: Ya?
D: Bryse, big boys sleep by themselves in their beds. Do you get it?
B: Oh ya. I get it.

That was it...I couldn't stop laughing. They were so serious it was like they were adults having the conversation. It cracks me up the things that they say to eachother. Delaney thinks that she's the Mom and needs to take care of him. Wonder where she gets that from?!?!

Pool makeover

See that ugly green tile and crazy lion head? Say bye bye!!!

Ryan's friend Gabe has a pool rehab business. Lucky for us! He came over and knocked off all of the ugly green tile and lion heads off the pool and put up new pretty tile! He's not done yet. Next week he's coming to put up the bowls that will replace the lion heads. It looks so great already! For any of you that have ever been in our pool you might remember how rough the bottom of our pool was. Hopefully it's much better now because we sanded the rough spots. I hope everyone will enjoy our refurbished pool this summer!

I LOVE Chapstick

Sweet little Bryse LOVES chapstick! He always is asking me for my chapstick. When he gets a hold of it...look out! He doesn't want to give it back and if you're not watching he'll put it all over his face!!

Allergic to grass?

We went to Austin and Tavin's birthday party last Saturday. The kids had a great time but after we got home Delaney had a HUGE rash on her legs! The doctor said that she could be allergic to a certain type of grass or something that she ate! She didn't eat anything different so I have to assume that it's the grass! She still was having an allergic reaction 3 days after! Now she's supposed to take Claritin every day! Poor thing. I don't want her to take it EVERY day so I'm just going to give it to her when I see something break out on her skin. Is that bad? I don't like the idea of my 3 year old taking medicine every day!

Remember These??

Do you remember these hideous accordian blinds we had on our windows?


Well, they're gone now. We got plantation shutters!!! They're absolutely gorgeous! We love them. They make the house look sooooo much better. The other great part is that we don't have to have the curtains in Delaney and Bryse's room anymore!! Hooray!

Best Friends

The other night I was reading to the kids before they went to bed. We were sitting together in Bryse's room. After we were finished they were giving each other hugs and kisses. They went on forever holding eachother! They'd hug, kiss, then look at eachother, smile and do it all over again. This must have gone on for almost 10 minutes! I couldn't bear to stop them. Once I got Bryse in his bed I went into Delaney's room with her and she said the sweetest thing! "Mom, Bryse is my best pal. I love my baby brother." It doesn't get any better than that! I LOVE that they love eachother so much. They have the best time together. I hope it's always that way!

Happy Anniversary!

We went to San Francisco to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary. Jenn and Bill came with us (they vacationed with us on our 3rd anniversary too..we're starting a tradition!). Aimee and Vadid came too. It was their first time away from their beautiful baby Sofia. It was such an amazing trip that was full of much needed adult time for all of us. By pure coincidence Angela was up in San Francisco the same weekend visiting Melissa and Bradie. Also up for the weekend was Ryan's friend John and his girlfriend Erika. How funny is that! My friend Sara that I went to SDSU with lives up there so we met up with her and her fiance. It was so funny how we were surrounded by people that we knew from southern California!! The weather was great. Originally it was supposed to rain the whole time we were there but the rain didn't show up until Sunday. It's fortunate that Ryan and I like the rain so it didn't bother us one bit. We were really missing the kids but got to see a lot of the famous sights and really, really enjoyed our time with eachother and everyone else.
Happy Anniversary Ryan. I love, love, love you. You are the love of my life and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you!!

Snow Day

Delaney's School had a snow day today..how exciting is that? Although it is pretty warm the kids had a lot of fun. I wasn't there when Delaney was playing with her class but her teacher said they were all throwing snowballs at eachother- how fun! Delaney said that she tried to make a snow angel but that the snow was too hard. I'll have to get the kids up to the mountains after the next storm so that she can make a snow angel on soft snow! I love her preschool...they do so many fun activities. I can't wait for Bryse to go there too!

Snow is fun!
