*Swim lessons
*Friends
*Swimming
*Sea World
*Lots of movies

I'll post just a few highlights

We got passes...again. One day I took just these two. No strollers, no 2 year olds - thus no tantrums, it was nice. Brooklyn is tall enough for almost every single ride. This past month she went on: soarin' over california, splash mountain, space mountain, matterhorn and she can't get enough! Her favorite is splash mountain and is constantly begging to go back to ride on it. Thank goodness our pass is blocked out now. The last time we went was the last day before the passes were blocked out for the summer and the parks were full to capacity. It was way too crazy for me - the line to every ride was outrageous, although we totally got lucky and was able to go on the Toy Story ride without a wait. We happened to walk by as they were re-opening the ride after they were fixing something and we walked right on. I loved it! I wish Brielle would have shared her gun with me, I was dying to play the games but I guess so was she.

Mike just HAD to buy everyone Laker gear in preparation for the play-offs. This was a good month for him. He came home yesterday with the new hat and shirt that the players were wearing at he Laker parade. (BIG eye roll)

Brooklyn did REALLY well in swim lessons this year. Before we put her in, we knew she could stay afloat and could doggy swim very well...but would NOT put her head under water. Now, she will and will swim like a little fish and loves it. I'm debating putting her in the next level in a few weeks but the lesson is an hour long - I'm thinking she may get too tired. I don't know.

The after party after the last day of lessons...a little 21 choices never hurt anyone.

Last night we headed down to Temecula to hang out with the Christensen's who are in town. (They DROVE from Indiana - Brave, brave people with two kids) It's always fun to get together with old friends and it helps that they have kids that my kids like :) We swam, had a BBQ, jumped on the tramp & roasted smores. Thanks for having us over!

Just ONE reason why my kids love their Grandparents

Last night we headed out to watch my little bro play in the Inland Valley all star baseball game at Quakes stadium. North (David's team) won and he did well. These are a few of the following conversations that were had last night:

#1 -
Brielle - Mommy I have to go potty
Mom - No you don't. Daddy and I have taken you twice in the last 1/2 hour. Your gonna have to wait until we leave.
Brielle - Daddy, I have to go potty.
Dad - Well, I'm not taking you. You don't have to go potty.
Brielle - Grandma, my mommy and daddy told me no.
Grandma - Well what's wrong.
Brielle - I have to go potty.
Grandma - I'll take you.

***Brielle was taken to the restroom but never went. She uses the potty excuse whenever possible. She usually has to go 10-15 times in sacrament meeting. We've caught onto her now***

#2-
Brookyln- (crying)
Papa- What's wrong Brooklyn?
Brooklyn - Brielle ate the pink star burst and that's the one I wanted and now there are no more pinks left.
Papa - Here's money - have your mom go buy you something.
*we come back with a pretzel and 10 min later....*
Brooklyn - Papa I'm thirsty.
Papa - Here's some more money...go get a drink.
*she picked out hot chocolate and 10 min later...*
Brooklyn - I wanted water not hot chocolate (the hot chocolate is halfway gone)
Me - Well, we have some water in the car, the game is almost over and we'll go get it.
Brooklyn - Well then I want cotton candy
Me - No.
*cotton candy guy is walking down our isle*
Papa - Here's some cotton candy Brooklyn.

My favorite photo of the week...

If you got it - flaunt it, right?

Last night Brielle made me promise to be best friends with her forever and ever. I obliged. I hope she remembers this as a teenager.
