Pictures?!

Sorry, there aren't any pictures with this update because I have taken so many wonderful pictures with my camera but when I try to upload them to the blog it won't let me access my iphoto library.  I haven't quite taken the time to tinker with this to get them up, so most of my updates have been of pictures I have taken with my cell phone!  Thanks to Summer, I actually got a bloglist started (she walked me through it!-Thanks Summer!)  So hopefully in the future my blogs will be more complete with so many of the photos that I have been wanting to add.

Rainy Day Fun!

It all started when I was doing the laundry.  The boys started helping and before I knew it, the laundry sat on the couch while we built a fort with the clean sheets!  It was so much fun.  The boys laughed and we hid under there for quite a while.  I snapped a few pictures while they were going in circles.  dalon was leading this time!

Lucas was checking to see where I was, but I wanted to get a picture of the big scale fort!
Then we went outside to play for a minute, and things got a little muddy!  I don't know if you can see but Dalon has mud splatter all over his face, and well, Lucas is covered up to his knees!
He loved stomping around and I have to admit it was pretty entertaining to watch!

What we've been up to...

Dalon has just been chillin' in the fridge.... while Lucas was squished into the world's smallest shopping cart!  I thought he would wake up when I put him in, but well...
I could not keep the boys still in the cart at Target today.  They were laughing and wiggling at EVERYTHING!!!  
Dalon would turn around and stand up so fast, I didn't think it was even possible!  You might get an idea by the speed of the headband in his hand!  He is quick!
Lucas is obsessed with his Lakers jersey and wants to wear it all the time!  Today he found something else to love, this beautiful, sparkly flower headband!  From the second I put it on him, he wanted to wear it, we ended up buying it.  Maybe he likes yellow?!

USS MIDWAY

The USS MIDWAY is an aircraft carrier that was in operation until the 90's.  We had so fun much exploring this and had the privelidge of being given the tour by navy pilot, uncle Chris! He gave us some of the "truths" about everything.  I tried to take a picture of the picture they took of us, because the scanner is not hooked up yet!  Here we all are!
Who is more entertained...the two 2 year olds or the two dads?
Brian ended up in the brig-the ship's prison!

Skateboarding

Lucas was playing in the backyard when he came and got me and said' "Watch the mom!" (what he says when he wants you to watch him)  So I watched him and he put down his skateboard and stood on it.  One foot towards the end of the back and the other in the middle.  Then he leaned back and made the front of the board go up, like an olly.  He kept doing it so I thought I wanted to video it.  But when I grabbed my phone, he didn't do t anymore.  But he did start trying to move it, which I did get.  He also threw in a little snowboarding grab.  Then came the aftermath of a two year old and a skateboard.  The picture was taken two days after the crash!

How we do Lakers Games

So tonight for the big game against the Cavs we decided to all don our Jerseys and cheer for our team.  We even decided to let Lucas stay up a little later to watch the game.  He was very excited in the beginning and screamed for a good portion-"Go Lakers!" in a voice that was incredibly loud!  I did manage to grab a picture of Lucas and Daddy watching the game.  Lucas was not able to stay awake, so we will tell him tomorrow of the victory (despite the injury to Kobe's shooting hand ring finger)  Dalon was very excited, although I doubt he knew exactly why, but he was happy!  He, too fell asleep before the game ended.  Go Lakers!

Welcome little Drew!

This morning we got a call from Michael saying that there were no open beds at Los Robles Hospital and so Adrienne wouldn't be going in until around 9 or 10.  We had Owen at our house and so we decided to go out to breakfast and then play at the park before heading up to the hospital.  Around noonish I called Michael for the update.  He said they had just broken her water but so far nothing, no worries.  About 30 minutes later I got another call to hurry up and get down there.  We were in Ventura, Michael and Adrienne were in Thousand Oaks!  We hurried and put Owen and my boys in the car and threw my mom's suitcases in the back.  We were almost to the freeway when we got another call.  He's here!!!  Wait, WHAT???!!?!?  Apparently, it happened so fast Adrienne didn't even get a chance to think about the epidural.  Then came the crazy news, he was 8 lbs 5 ounces!!!!!  That's a big baby for little Adrienne.  We got to the hospital and I got to meet my sweet little nephew!  They named him Drew Seth Barnett and he is absolutely beautiful!!!  Good job, Adrienne and Congrats to Michael, Adi and Owen for their newest member!
