Once again, another month and no post - I will get better at this I swear:) Well, we've had quite a busy month - I absolutly LOVE summer - and all that it includes: days at the beach, swimming at the lake, running through sprinklers, blow up swimming pools, chalk on the sidewalk, popcycles...I just love it all. It's also been a sad month - on the 5th I turned 30 and I am still in morning for my twenties, but the true pain came on the 23rd when we celebrated Nathan's first birthday - we miss him so much.
The day after Nathan's birthday, we went up to Brad and Amber's to play. Their house is absolute heaven for my boys. They fish and hike and play in the waterfall and play in the dirt (snow if it's cold). And to top it all off they have a little boy who is 3 that lives across the street who loves to play and is great at sharing all his cool toys. So, we spent the day hiking with everyone and our dogs down by the water and up the trail, then riding in AJ's cool Jeep, and any other crazy thing the boys could think up.

*the random picture in the middle of Briley and me was from my 30th Birthday - I tried to put it in another order, but I just couldn't figure it out.

Beach Bums

This past Saturday we headed to Hunington Beach with the kids, Chris and Corinne,and their goddaughter Lisa. We had a great time. The weather was really nice and the kids LOVE the beach. Brock and Dane have now found a new love. Bobby took them boogie boarding... they LOVED it. I only have pictures of Brock on the board with daddy because while Dane was riding, I was feeding little miss Briley, but Dane LOVed it too. Thank God Bobby was a life guard at Hunington during college - so I wasn't freaking out too bad while they were out.

A Quick Picture Summary:)

Okay, I was finally able to upload some pictures for a quick photo summary. These are: Brock with his butterflies (they had just come out of their caucoons; 4th of July; our big standing Briley 8 1/2 months; some pictures from our Girls 30th Birthday Bash weekend in Havasu; a day at the beach; and an art project we did for fun.

Opps - Another Month

Yep.. once again it's been a month since I've posted - so sorry Grandma's. We have been pretty busy: 4th of July, Lake Gregory, the Beach, Lake Havasu, hatching butterflies, catching TONS of bugs, and lots of days in our backyard swimming pool. The Lake Havasu trip was a mommy only trip. 6 of us, who have been friends since elementary, and Jr high, headed to Havasu to celebrate our 30th Birthdays - we all turn 30 this year. For some reason my computer wont let me up load any pictures. I'll try again tomorrow, and hopefully then I'll be able to give you the photo run through of the past 4 weeks. Hope every one is having a wonderful summer:)

Summer Fun

I'm am definitly a summer girl - I love being outside, playing in the sun... but this heat...109!! is crazy. We've been trying not to melt - here are a few of our captured moments.I finally found a good use for that stupid bath seat I bought - it was more work than help in the bath tub, but it's perfect for Bri in the pool:)

MY LINKS

Hi everyone, I realized the other day as I actually had a second - all three were napping :) - to check friends blogs and websites, that I don't have many links listed on my blog. I didn't want to put anyones info up without permision - So, if you'd like your website or blog listed in the links section, please let me know, and I'll add it there. Hope everyone is doing well - we're headed outsied with chalk in hand to run through the sprinklers and "paint" some walls:)

Prayer Request

We just got back from Dallas where we took our motorhome for a quick visit to see Bobby's Grandma; MeeMaw. She's very sick, she's been battleing cancer for years, and she hadn't met Briley yet, or seen the boys in a while. It was good to see her, and all teh family in Texas, but she'd still in the hospital and really strugeling. Please keep MeeMaw in your prayers, she's having a very dificult time breathing, and they've put her on hospice.

OUR B-ROCK STAR

Brock had a spring performance at his preschool the other night. He joined his class on stage to dance to some crazy song. There were hundreds of parents there watching, and Brock LOVED being up on the stage.

LA Zoo

Grammy and I took the kids to the LA ZOO the other week - when we had the heat wave. You'll notice the sweaty faces - it was 103 degrees that day. With the help of a few icees, we survived and had a good time.

BRILEY'S FIRST HAIR CUT

Briley is now 7 months old - she's crawling all over the place, sitting up, eating solids, but , still no teeth (thank God since we're still nursing:) She was such a good girl at her first hair cut. These are pictures of the big event and her photo shoot afterwards with Mommy:) - She was actually watching a moth outside the window - she's going to have fun catching bugs with her brothers I think.

WITH THE SUN... COMES THE FUN

We are so excited it's warming up. These are just a few pictures of the kids playing in Grammy's backyard, and swimming at Pop and Weezies - Thank God summers here!!!

So Sorry - let me try to catch up!!

As I said, we've been going through a really hard time, and I havn't really been able to keep up with the blog, but there has been a lot of fun things going on with the kids, so this is my attempt to try to catch up with the month - through pictures of course:)
The first few pictures are: Brock's 4 year pic, Dane's 2 year pic and Briley's 6 month

Please keep us in your Prayers

I'm sorry that I've havn't been posting. We are having a bit of a family crisis. I hope to have new "Hartz kid" info. for you soon. Please keep our family in your prayers.
