Sun, Water, Swim, Repeat

I didn't swim too much last year because I was pregnant and pukey the whole summer so KB and I try to go once a day this year. He is so cute in the pool! He kicks his feet and just floats around in his floaty. Anything to alleviates the heat.

Happy Father's Day!

I know I'm a week late. It's just that I'm still kind of in shock that I'm actually a Father now. I think it was Reed who said in one of his e-mails "Can you believe that Bret is actually responsible for another human life?" Well, the answer to that is No. I cannot beleive it.
Anyways, last Sunday morning I heard Becki get out of bed early. She NEVER gets out of bed early so I knew something was up. I didn't want to ruin anything so I just stayed in bed. A few minutes later she brought in my beautiful baby boy with this little sign around his neck. How precious is that? Then she brought me breakfast in bed: cinnamon rolls, fruit, and milk. The tray was actually a small box. Upon closer inspection of the box I noticed that it was a gift- a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse for my new little laptop that I got a couple weeks ago. So cool.

Then when I finally did get out of bed I saw this down the hallway...Ties! They were everwhere. I love thick, ugly, wide, fat, old-school polyester ties. Becki got me a box of like 30 or so.

She even spelled out "daddy" in ties just to add that extra special touch. Yeah, that's a lot of ties! My collection is no where near Mark's or our cousin J Train's, but this will give me a great start.

Becki also got me the book Mark was telling me about called "Young Bucks." I got the mail when Becki was gone last week visiting her family and I accidentally opened it. Oops. :) It's written by Troy Dunn who is the inspiration to Becki's business name "whippy cake." It's about how to raise your kids to be millionaires. I'm excited to read it. Mark, I'll have to let you borrow it when I'm done! Thank you so much baby girl! You made my first Father's Day unforgetable.

Good Eats

My boy messy slurping lunch down.

Kingston, King, Kb

A special post for those who need their Kb fix. Take note...
King has started posing for the camera at 6 months.




He twist out of his swing onto the floor so he can crawl around and get to stuff.

He crawls himself into places he can't get out of. So frustrating!
"Aunt Carli, don't tickle me"

Girls make boys cry...

Doesn't it look like the girls went to town on the boys with the guns?
Lol, well what really happened is the boys beat each other up with guns and then the girls took the guns awayKingston is a puppy boy, He Loves them. This is Missi's dog Pixie

Come Play

My mommy came to play... and so did my dad and Missi and her 4 kids and Mike , KellyAnn and their 2 kids. We met up at Peter Piper Pizza!
Man, Hanging out with family is AWESOME!
Don't leave your kids with strangers, they will feed them chocolate. lol, seriously though my mom and Carli got him hooked on eating adult food.

Chaos and Madness

This is Elsie Jane. She had her blessing on June 8th so EVERYONE came to visit at Kory's house the day before.
As you can see we take simming very seriously. You btter behave or you'll get thrown out! Bum!
Kingston LOVEs to watch...
But HATES the cold water...
The coolest twin in the world!
So random, this is Anita playing by herself in the corner of the yard by herself. So adorable!

When my mom got here she took Kingston over night along with Carli and when I got him back he could not get enough solid foods in his hands. Now I have a little munch monster in my hands.
Peculiar baby- he doesn't really put things in his mouth, he just touches and feels with his hands.
children playing "freeze" on the trampoline.
goggle cuties.

Super!

You are so beautiful... to ME! The official cover for Breaking Dawn. Also, MTV has posted a new clip from Twilight HERE. I hope that when husbands across the world see this clip they will start to realize that it is not JUST for chics. Hello? Action, vampires. fighting. geeze! All the cool guys are gonna buy their lady Breaking Dawn on August 2nd and then to Twilight the movie on December 12th.

You're gonna stab me with what now?

Trying new things is not always good... like a spring loaded biopsy gun. Yikes! For all of you who were asking my biopsy, it was easy breezy. Of course the first thing I saw when I walked in was the giant foot long needle on the counter and for a second I was ok with leaving the mystery tumor unsolved. This odd looking device takes a punch sample of tissue for the lab to examine. The gun is loud but not too painful after the numbing stuff.
The technician and the radiologist were AMAZING and totally put my mind at ease about the gun. They talked everything out with me which made me feel a little less vulnerable on the table.

Britta was way too nice to me. She found a babysitter for me [THANX Burgess!] and drove me to and from my appointment.
She also took me to get my nails done in my NEW favorite color {hard to get} and then to Lunch. Yummmm! Kabuki!
THEN she took me to Target to get a new Sporty [which I might never take off because nice and snug, silky and pink] and ice packs. Ooo Yah! When she had to go to work :( Kasha came and watched king [no lifting over 5lbs]. Kasha, You are so great!

So, the soonest I might hear any results would be Friday. Even though the lump is pretty big at 3cm the radiologist said she would be really surprised if it was anything of concern since i have perfect health in my family and since I am so young. So i don't really care too much about finding out anytime soon. I will update you all when i find something out though.

ps. I think going to the dentist is way worse than getting a core biopsy.

oh yah! this is happening.

I re-uploaded the link so it should work now...

From now on every youtube video this kid puts out is going on our blog.



i need one for my house!

Rooty tooty aim and scooty!

I get so excited when he learns to do new things. Ever since he learned to roll over he has been all over the place in his crib, swing and on the floor and NOW he is scoot'n like an inch worm to get to things. I LOVE it even though that means he can scoot his way into trouble now. I wonder if he will be able to crawl by the time he is 6 months...


This is Daddy and King's favorite game. Kingston can stay up for a really long time now. I think Bret enjoys it more...Honestly, who eats like this? Silly billy!

His giggle could seriously cause global warming.

My 20 seconds of fame

So I got hooked up with D-backs tickets again from Infusion. Becki wanted to go so bad with me again but she thought it would be nice to share the tickets ;-) so I took my good buddy Caleb Hammond. Well the game was a blowout, we lost 11 -3. But we decided to stay until the very end cuz you never know what might happen at a ball game...like a homerun from Mark Reynolds hit barely over our heads! It was coming straight towards us and just landed 5 rows behind us. Go to this link: http://arizona.diamondbacks.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?mid=200805292792090
and watch for me in a white hat and red d-backs shirt on the right side of the screen. Pause the video at 7 seconds and you can totally see me. Oh yeah, I'm famous.

New Friends Unite

One of my best friends was in town from Las Vegas with her new baby Luke. Adorable! Luke is so big and King is so small they are just about the same size only Luke is 7 weeks and K is almost 6 months. King was so happy to see Luke. We have a video of K practically crawling on top of Luke giggling while he tried to grab his face. So funny. They are BFF already.We went through 2 giant bags of boy clothes sorting through what would fit which baby at the right time of year. Oh and Crystal showed me the Maraka clip from SNL. Hahaha!

water aversion

My neighbor Dani and I took our kids to the zoo again. It was so HOT but I always enjoy it and king likes the stroller a lot. They have this fountain area for kids with water shooting out the ground. Lately King has been freaking out around any kind of water but I thought I would try it out anyways. I can't say he enjoyed it but we'll keep trying. You can't live in Arizona and hate water... it's just not right! Is that the sweetest sad face in the world or what?!?!

Say cheese

Kingston had his picture taken with an ultrasound machine. He was such a good boy the whole time. All the nurses and techs had little girl crushes on this flirtatious boy. He has a lump on his left shoulder blade/underarm area so his pediatrician recommended that we get it looked at.
