...THEN ON SUNDAY WE THREW A FAMILY BASH & HAD A POOL SIDE BBQ.

Auntie Arin came with Joey and Olivia. Joey is such a good swimmer it is scary how long he can hold his breath under water.

The baby pool worked out great for all the kids...
Here is Sue, Jacob and Dylan. Sue Baked the Chocolate Cake for Matt! She is SOOO My Betty Crocker! THANK YOU SUE, IT WAS SO YUMMY AS USUAL!

Maverick and I had some fun in the sun too!

And here is Ryan being goofy with Papala (Matt's Dad) in the water. You CANNOT keep these two away from each other...and the Water! They love to swim.

We even had little Madeline and Emma come and join in on the festivities. Here is Matt opening up his SINGING BIRTHDAY Card he got from his parents....

HAPPY 30TH HONEY~ I CANNOT WAIT FOR OUR GETAWAY TO PALM SPRINGS!

HAPPY 9 MONTHS MAVERICK

Happy nine months...

We just had his check up and my biggy boy is 24lbs. and 30 inches long.
He is holding him self up and balancing all over the house.
He still only has 2 bottom teeth but that does not stop him from eating anything he can get his hands on. Some of his favorite foods are: Mac & Cheese, Tuna Sandwiches, Strawberry Yogurt, and his little fishies...OH and fruit He loves ALL FRUIT!

He loves to clap, Loves to Dance, Loves to Sing, and Loves to Laugh.
All he wants to do is be able to keep up with his brother Ryan.
He is learning to drink straight out of a bottled water...loves this~ Cant get enough of this.

Holds his sippy cup, and SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT~...

I cant beleive how fast they grow.

WE LOVE YOU MAV!

Summertime and the ITS TIME TO SWIM!

Boy was it a hot one this weekend...
So we all decided to hit the pool at Grandpa's House.
I grew up learning how to swim, dive, etc. at this pool when I was little.
It is pretty neat that I can bring my own kids here now.
They have a 1 foot baby pool for the little ones and a HUGE lap pool for the big kids.
DADDY EVEN DECIDED to COME! YEAHHH! We Love When Daddy swims with us.
Grandma Kim came too! It turned out to be a really nice day and the water was perfect!
Here are some pics of our day...by the end of it Maverick was done. He passed out in the stroller...with the bottle still in his mouth.

Work Work Work

Our firm is growing and I have been working around the clock with the guys (Meaning the partners) to bring in more clientele. It has been great but boy am I tired... Our firm is now called Red Hill Law Group, PC. We our a Wealth Collaboratives, that work with your financial advisers, CPA's and Life Insurance Brokers to come together and find the best possible plan to fit to your families needs when it comes to estate planning. We do a lot of business and tax planning as well for families. We just bought a building and the architects are working on the layout and design of our new space. They did the St. Regis Hotel and Down Town Disney just to give you an idea of how talented these people are...It is like nothing you have ever seen. Not the typical law firm...We are going to have residential meeting spaces,(like a living room set up) including a coffee shop, wine kitchen and "collabratorium" to meet with all of your advisers and your families. I am learning so much and everything is moving so fast. We should be done in September...until then I will do the best I can on keeping up on this blog...but my days are pretty full these days...and my kids are by number one priority...when I get home. SOOOO I will do some late night blogging...just so I can keep all my peeps informed on the family....I have to tell you though after a long days work....who would not want to come home to this. :)
SMILE...THIS IS WHY I LOVE MY LITTLE GUYS!

Too Much Excitement~

Maverick and Ryan love to play with each other... Ryan was getting Maverick so excited he could not contain himself. Every time Ryan would come up from behind the bed Mav would start laughing hysterically! Now that Mav can crawl...they seem to have made up some new games to play with each other. It is really funny! When Mav saw me filming in the second video...he came straight for me...he is fast that little one. Ryan does so good with him. There giggles are contagious! Daddy and I love it!

OH...and as you can see Mav...hates to wear his diaper now. Did I forget to mention that....

It is a contant struggle to get him to sit still while I put it on.

HAPPY 24 To YoU To YOU!!!

Happy Birthday P dawg~! We love you~!!!
Preston and Miho came over last night to have a quick birthday Blow Out Bash at my house.
This was a last minute thing, but turned out to be perfect because everyone just happened to be in the neighborhood. :)

WE PUT A WHOLE PACKAGE OF 24 Candles on his cake...WOW P you got a whole box this year. I cannot believe how old you are getting...hee hee.

We love you and would not know what to do with ourselves without you.

May you have a blessed year filled with many adventures and good fortune...you wise one you....
I love you little bro...EVEN THOUGH YOU are taller than me.
xoxox always xoxoxox

The kids ended up getting a late night snack of CHOCOLATE CAKE...by the looks in thier eyes we could tell we were in for a night of BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS!
The kids were out of control. Oh Well you gotta sneak the birthday cake every once in awhile...What is life without Birthday cake ~right.
Thats what its all about BABY!

Grand Pappas

Arin and I decided to go over to visit Grandpa's on Sunday with the kids. We had a really nice visit and the kids absolutely adore grandpa. It was grandma's birthday as well, so we thought it would be nice to all be around each other in remembrance to her. It has been 10 years since she has passed. Wow...still seems like yesterday when she used to sing us goodnight lullabies to bed and tell us about the fairies that lived out in her garden when we used to come out to visit her when we were little. Grandma had such an imagination, of course we believed every word that came out of her mouth. AND STILL DO! Hey...I still dont step in the middle of mushroom rings :) Who wants to get stuck in fairy land ~ I remember when she turned me into a frog for misbehaving...I woke up with green pokadots all over my face...haa ahaaaa. Every time we are at grandpa's house we can still feel grandma and the love she felt towards her children. WE MISS YOU GRANDMA. Grandpa does a good job of playing with the kids...and even teases them a little too! They seemed to get into all kinds of things at his house. From his nicknack's to napkins...When it comes to grandpas he has always had 3 things that the kids have played with even when we were little. THE WOODEN TRUCK FILLED WITH BLOCKS, (I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE HE HAS THIS) THE DANCING FLOWERS...the kids love to dance to this... and HIS STAIRS! Oh how the kids just magnetize to his stairs...
Here are a couple of pics of the kids playing together.


Ryan and Maverick...
"Oh BOY We are going to have some fun today" "I can just feel it"



"Let me just reach for the controller, while he's not lookin"
"Almost got it"


" Ahh found the next best thing...NAPKINS and MOMMIES sunglasses"


"Now do I look cool or what?"



"Here comes Joe JOe" "Give me those Mav"


"Look at me Grandpa"


"That's right Mav, Look who talking now"


"Ya Grandpa, Dont mind me..."




"Iv'e got the glasses" "Dont I look cute grandpa"

To CUte- My love muffins

Sorry Ryan Maverick is Stuck to you like glue now...But the way things are looking I really dont think you mind. What little love muffins!

SWING TIME! Park Time!

Maverick New Favorite thing to do is SWING AT THE PARK! He loves it. The kid gets the biggest kick out of being flung back and forth in the air. I think he just thinks he cool now that he can swing next to Ryan at the park! LOOK AT HIM GO!

He also attempted the slide and "PIRATE" brige as Ryan would call it.

Ohhh what a big boy!

And Yes the kid still loves his Paci! HIS ONE AND ONLY PACI! I am going to have to yank that one of these days...oh well. Look at my little beef cake! His hair cracks me up, such a big baby with such little hair! OHHHH I LOVE MY LITTLE GUY!

Bathtime Buddies

Here are a couple of pics of Mav and Ryan taking a bath. These days there is a lot more juggling between the two, because Mav like to do dive bombs towards the water faucet now and face plants towards the bath toys. I tell you this kid is crazy, so Ryan manages to keep him occupied while I wash him up as fast as I can. Thank goodness for big brothers! Ryan is such a good helper and I figure they aren't always going to be like this so I might as well soak it up while I can.... :) Maverick favorite toy is his little sea horse. He loves biting him...I think it feels good on his teeth. Arent they so cute together....ahhhh.
