Fun and crazy times!!

So i know i am totally being a blog hog lately but let me tell you my life is so exciting lately i just have to write about it. Okay my life isn't really that exciting i just love blogging that i can't stop!!! This past weekend we had a girls night. My good friend Kristi Sullivan and her sister Ashely came down to Vegas and we went out one night. Emily and I have known her since 5Th grade. Kristi mentioned that she wanted to go out and have some fun. Knowing Kristi and how crazy she is i told her there were 2 things i wouldn't do : #1 no nightclubs and #2 i wasn't staying out till 2 am. We decided to go to PF Changs and then walk around Green Valley Ranch. After a while of walking we decided to play a little Video Poker. I rarely gamble. It scares me. We decided on Video Poker because Emily is really good at it. You should have seen us. It was the funniest thing. We got excited about winning $5. People totally knew we were newbies. So Emily got down to $.50 and then she got 4 aces. She won $120. I was so mad at her. Then about 15 min later i got 4 aces and i won $120. It was so fun!! The best part was that i only put $10 in. So we both walked away with $100 bills in our hand. Don't worry i am not addicted. Just a fun harmless night with the girls. You need something like this every now and then. Something you wouldn't normally do. Thanks girls!!

Posers

We went swimming a couple days ago and the kids insisted that i take pictures of them with their new sunglasses. Nicholas decided to be a little poser for all the pictures. It was much funnier in person because he was concentrating very hard on where his feet,hands, towel, and head were. He had to have his towel draped over his shoulder. My favorite is the 2ND picture. He just thinks he is so cool. I guess he is taking after his Aunt Amber and Amy and likes to practice posing. Sammy on the other hand could use some help. She is just like her mother.

Welcome To the Zoo

When i first found out i was pregnant with Parker my mom gave me a wood sign that says "Welcome To The Zoo". She said it fit my situation perfect. She was right. Sometimes i feel like my house is a Zoo. Well this week was literally a "zoo". We learned about all kinds of animals this week. My mom went to a garage sale and came across a lady who had been teaching for 30 years. She was getting rid of all her learning visuals. So my mom let me borrow these really fun animal masks. The kids had so much fun.

She's not quite sure how she feels about this mask, but she wanted it because it had pink on it.

Homerun

This weekend Nicholas had his first tball game. His team is The Ninjas. I am assuming that's after The Ninja Turtles. Who knows. Unfortunately i was out of town for my sisters open house so i had to miss his first game. Since Luke is the coach he was there and had some pretty funny stories to share. My brother Adam took some great photos of the kids. Nicholas loves playing but i guess he got really shy and did want to run around the bases. Instead he just hugged Luke. At least he loves his Dad right? I guess after he hit the ball he ran to first base and instead of staying there and waiting to go to 2nd base he high fived Luke and ran back to the dugout area. These are a bunch of 3 yr olds, what do you expect? At least they are having fun. All of the kids are friends and know each other so it's fun for them. I'm excited for the next game.

This is Luke at practice giving the kids a pep talk.
