"2" is getting married......

One of my best friends and her two beautiful children traveled up here this past week. "2" is in love with her daughter "A" and talks about her all the time. While they were here "2" and my future D-I-L talked about getting married and having 99 boys and 2 girls! Of course we made sure that they know you have to finish college and travel the world first. So yesterday "2" very seriously looked at me and said, "Mom! I forgot to marry "A"!! He was very upset and I reminded him that he can not get married til he is 30. He was fine with that.

Mentos Experiment Bust

Talked to 1 last night as he is at his grandmother's house in Texas. They were going to do the mentos in a 2 liter of soda trick. He was explaining to me that you drop a few mentos in the 2 liter and it will erupt like a volcano straight up in the air. Well he called back to tell me it was a bust! He was very disappointed but I told him that not to worry, Daddy will research this experiment and when he gets back here we will retry! I hope to have pictures of this!

Make life easier

I have come up with an easy way to make my life a little easier. I am going to nickname the kids "1, 2, and 3". If your a mother you will appreciate this..... One of them gets in trouble and you call everyone elses name before you say theirs! So maybe if I just nickname them "1, 2, and 3" it will be easier! Of course you can probably figure out which one will be "1, 2, and 3" Just go in the order they were born. Yep it is decided that their new nicknames will be numbers! Ahhh life just got easier.

Update

So much has happened since my last blog. Andrew finished first grade! He was ready for summer. So we had as much fun as we could til he was going to leave for Texas. We got the boys an inflatable bounce house! They love that thing. My dad came for a surprise visit! It was great to see him. The boys had no idea he was coming and they were very surprised. We went to a carnival and craft fair while he was here and he even had a Maine Lobster lunch!! Now Mikey and Logan are counting down the days til Andrew gets home (we all are!). Logan wakes up every morning and looks for Andrew. Andrew gave Mikey his room til he gets back! So I am trying to keep them busy this month. My good friend Lisa is coming up soon with her kids so that will be great! Her daughter Ava is Mikey's future wife! The weather has been a little rainy so we have been at the base Rec Mall a lot! Its a great place to take the kids and let them run and play. There are big tubes to climb through and little toys to play with. Logan has a new buddy. Our friends little son and Logan love to chase each other. Colton will lay on the floor and they will giggle forever. They also love the train set we have! Mike and I are great. Our 5 year anniversary is coming up and he has something planned but its a surprise! I am very excited! I promise to get better about blogging!!

Baseball

Logan must have alot of my grandfather in his blood. He loves baseball. Mike plays for the sqaudron softball team and we go to as many games as we can. Logan cheers and woo hoo's! When daddy is up to bat he yells go daddy! Anytime the ball is hit he gets really excited and bounces. When someone gets out he responds with an "AWWWW". We went out for dinner the other night and Logan was just staring off and I could not get his attention. Then I saw that the Red Sox and Yankees were playing. He was zoned in on the tv. Well if anyone knew my Grandpa Vallely they know that he was called the Father of Little League. He brought little league to the area in Arizona and he even has a field named after him. He loved baseball! Well Logan was born on my grandfathers birthday. God help us!! :)

No touch

Logan has become very vocal and is in his terrible two's! He loves to get into everything! Example... He was getting into the fridge and I politely came to his level and asked him to please close the fridge. He responded with slapping his leg and saying NO TOUCH! We went to the store yesterday and he did not want to sit in the basket. I told him that we are going shopping and that I need him to sit like a big boy. He slapped his leg and said NO TOUCH! Anytime he gets in trouble or you have to talk to him he says NO TOUCH. Still not sure where he got that from but its kinda funny.

Finally time to type...

It is early AM and the only one awake is Andrew. Mike is at work, yes on a weekend. Poor guy has worked his butt off since getting here! I am making orange sweet rolls and enjoying the quiet. I feel like I am finally slowing down after the move. We are all settled and unpacked. The boys love it here. They have a nice backyard with lots of toys, and we go walking as much as possible. Last night it was cold and rainy and our neighbors had a little get together. The husband works with Mike so he and a friend came by last night to invite us over. We politely declined as it was almost bedtime for the little ones and Mike had to work today. We chatted a few more minutes and learned a little bit about the people who lived here before us. I guess one couple was a screamer, and not in the good way! And the ones after that were a little nutty! They were kicked out and rather quickly from what we were told. Interesting. I can only imagine their thought when we pulled up, OH NO what now more crazy neighbors? I guess it was refreshing when they came by last night cause they saw we were pretty normal. With the exception of the three yahooligans having their own WWE wrestling tournament in our living room! Logan was tackling his big brothers and taking them down very easily! Who needs cable when you have 3 boys! What will we do when they grow up? We will be so unentertained! We are blessed and life is good.
