Memorial Day

This is the best picture I could get of 3/ 3 years old. Aren't they cute.?! We are only missing one of the 4/3 years old that are born only 2 weeks apart from each other.

Here are the 3 little babies. Shauna's baby Chase is 13 months and Paige and Cooper are 10 months old and only 1 day apart. Paige was such a CHEESE for the camera. That was the first time we had seen her. She is so cute! I wish Paige's eyes were open. This would have been a perfect picture. I should have kept clicking my camera.
This was as close as I could get to perfect. They were all so cute.

Well as you can see we spent Memorial Day at my parents. I had so much fun. We had a BBQ and they everyone went out front. We had about 40 family members there. So we all went out front and some how the girls (women) started playing double dutch. My sister Allison has pictures on her blog. So if you want to see some good times go look over there. We ended up getting EVERYONE to try double dutching. All of the husbands were so funny. I think they all got in one jump. I laughed so hard. Even my mom tried. I wish I had my camera out for that. All in all it was a really fun day. Hope everyone had a safe and good holiday.

Read from the bottom up....These are all new posts.

Here is my cute boy in the day.
Here is my cute boy at night after 3 hours in the Emergency Room
He looks good here. I know that's hard to believe. His face was HUGE 4 hours before this.
Poor boy!
And here is the cause of it all.

HE IS ALLERGIC TO PEANUT BUTTER!

Well that night as we were coming home from Cameron and Traci's and Cooper fell asleep on the way home. We stopped at my parents before we headed up the hill. Cooper opened his eyes are started crying. I didn't think anything of it. So we head up the hill with Cooper crying the whole way. I was trying my best to calm him down but it wasn't working. I look at him and I said " Dang Brach his lip looks swollen." We finally get him and Brach was so done with Cooper's crying. We all hop out of the car and Brach opens Cooper's side of the car and he says "WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIS FACE?" I was like what are you talking about. His eye was completely swollen shut and his lips were HUGE. I am totally calm still and Brach has already started out in Freak Out mode. If you know Brach he does not stay calm in these situation. So I run him a bath thinking maybe it will help. All the while Brach is yelling at me and telling me to get in the car we are leaving. I tell him to go get Beneydol. I tried calling STUPID Kaiser for the nurses line and they wouldn't answer. Brach kept saying what are we going to do. I started panicking and said " Call 911." So Brach got on the phone with 911 and in 5 minutes I had 5 men in my front room hooking Cooper up to go in the ambulance. His breathing was really bad too. So we hurry and get down to Saint B's and they take him in and monitor him and gave him lots of good stuff to help him calm down. It was probably one of the scariest moments of my short motherhood. His face was HUGE and he was just drooling down his face because his tongue and lips were so huge. With in those 3 hours Cooper had 6 visitors come to the hospital. So that is how we found out Cooper was allergic to peanut butter. I was the one that was giving him little pieces of the DUMB candy bar and not thinking about the peanut butter in it. DUMB, DUMB, DUMB!

Next Post...We went to the Science Discovery Center

This day started off good. We were set out to go to the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana. I thought this place would be awesome. I guess everyone else in Santa Ana thought it would be awesome too to go there on Saturday. It was so packed and not really age appropriate for 3 year olds. It is definitely for older kids. It also might have not been so bad if all of Santa Ana wasn't there. Hey I tried to pick something fun. We went with Cameron and Traci and of course their little girl is to young for it too. So we didn't stay very long and we went out for a early dinner at Olive Garden and it was soooo good. Maybe because I was sooooo starving. The day continued and we went back to Cameron and Traci's.......Here is where the NIGHT MARE begins. To be continued.

S'Mores in the Fire

Yes, I know Dillon doesn't match from neck to toe and yes he has pink socks on they are his cousin Abigale's. Who cares though. We had fun.
I had the bright idea to do S'Mores in the fireplace and they turned out really good.
Dillon thought it was so fun.
Here is the best part.
We got to eat them. They were so tasty and it was fun to see Dillon so excited about this little thing. Cooper wasn't left out. He was eating the crumbs off the floor. :)

Papa and Dillon

We went to a party for my brother-in-law who passed "the bar". I took a couple pictures of Dillon and Papa. I thought this picture turned out so cute. He loves his Papa and they have a special bond. When we lived with my in laws Papa and Great Grandma lived upstairs. Dillon loved to go up and hang out with them. I'm so glad Dillon is able to know his great grandparents and is able to create memories with them.

Good Times in Vegas

So for a couple days we went out to Las Vegas. Brach's sister has a time share out there and my sister Allison lives out there. So we spent 1 night with Allison and the family and the rest with Brach's sister and family. It was a quick vacation but totally fun. Dillon got to hang out with all of his cousins and that was good for him. We hadn't seen Allison's place so we wanted to check it out. We went to the time share and it was totally the best hotel I had ever been too. The pool was just sooooo cool. Some of the pool had sand and the kids just had the best time in it. It was just nice to get away. I'm totally tired and can't wait to get a good nights sleep. So hope you all enjoy the pics.

We went to go see the men in uniform

We had such a good day today. We went over to the San Bernardino County Museum and they had a safety day. They had tons of things there to do. Dillon of course was in love with the fire engine and we went in to two different fire engines. He didn't care all that much for the police or forest rangers. Since we got there at the end of it the crowds had died down and we were able to try on all the fireman's gear. All in all it was a GREAT day for Dillon. Matthew and Wendy met me there so of course Dillon wanted to do everything with Matthew (aka Uncle Bud). I'm sure I'm going to hear about this day for a while.

Fun, Fun and more Fun

Today we made bubbles. I didn't have a wand for the bubbles so I improvised. The spoon thingy worked out just fine. The bubbles kept Dillon occupied for about an hour and were super easy to make.

BUBBLES

1 cup water

2 TBS light karo syrup

4 TBS dishwashing soap

WAHHHLAA!

He only blew a couple bubbles he wanted me to do all the work. He just wanted to run around and try to pop them.
So here are more cupcakes. We were at the grocery store yesterday and Dillon said "Mom can we make cupcakes." So I made the cupcakes last night and this afternoon we frosted them. Dillon associates cupcakes with birthday's so of course we had to sing Happy Birthday and Dillon even sang happy birthday to himself. I can't wait till he turns 4. I think that is going to be the best birthday for him. So after we frosted the cupcakes we had to try them and they were so good.

Can you tell? Of course he wanted another one after the first one. He had to wait till after dinner though.

Cooper didn't think it was that great. He just destroyed the cupcake.

The kids are just growing up so quick. Everyday is something new. Cooper is about to get his 3rd tooth and he is ALMOST crawling. I know, I know he is so lazy. Dillon took forever to crawl though so I'm not worried. He will be crawling and then walking in no time. Dillon is just so big now and I can't believe that he is growing so fast. He is at the perfect age for me and is so funny. Anyways, I hope everyone is doing good.
