the park

we went to visit my mom and sister again. our tuesday visit. jen and bodhi met us there at the mall. we tried to shop. bodhi and mason were not in the mood to shop. i did manage to get mason a pair of summer shoes, and return 2 of the shirts i bought for myself at a previous shopping trip.

we left after a couple of hours and met christina and zena. we all walked to the park from my mom's house. i loved walking around the park. it is so pretty. they have a small pond that is just beautiful. i wish there was a cute park near me. i would love to take the kids everyday for a walk. mostly because i need the exercise, but also because they love to be outside and i get bored sitting in our yard. dahlia and bodhi both fell asleep. it was so nice to talk to my sisters while zena and mason played on the swings.

it really feels like summer now. i can't wait for all the fun summer activities. now i get need to get my body in shape for a bikini. ugh.

i can fly

miles and mason were so funny yesterday. miles was throwing mason really high into the air. mason loved it. he kept saying more fly, more fly. he is such a daredevil.

friends

mason was so cute this weekend. we went to a friends house for dinner on saturday. they have a 4 year old girl named emily that is adorable. she has this really cool battery powered car that 2 kids can sit in and drive. mason thought that was the coolest toy he has ever seen. they jumped in and emily drove them down the block. so funny. mason got to drive also. they have the perfect yard and house to have toys like that. big flat sidewalks and a long flat driveway. our house is in the hills so our driveway is really steep. there are no sidewalks on our street. he wouldn't have anywhere to drive such a car at our house. it was so cute to see mason play with someone close to his age. he has a friend.

we had a great time at their house. jen and ray brought bodhi. the kids were really pretty well behaved. i have been friends with emily's mom carla since we were fifteen. how crazy. i love that we are still friends. she is really smart and funny. i always feel so comfortable around her. i can't believe we don't get together more often. i wish she was home with emily and we could hang out during the week. all of my friends are working moms. i am the only one that stays home. i love staying home with mason and dahlia. it would be nice to have more mom's to meet up with for play dates.

school fair

we went to zena's school fair yesterday. it was so cute. zena goes to the same elementary school that i went to as a child. i haven't been there in a very long time. it looks the same. they have a really nice playground now.

the fair was very cute. it was small. mason had so much fun. jen brought bodhi. we all walked to the fair from my mom's house. my brother jon also went. he was so nice and took mason to all the games while i watched dahlia. mason loved the ducky game. it was not much of a game. they had a small pool filled with plastic duckies. you would pick a ducky and the number on the bottom would win you a prize from a matching bucket. they also had a very small petting bin. mason was not shy at all about petting the animals. zena was very cute and took him around to all the animals. it was so hot that i couldn't wait to leave. dahlia was getting cranky. we had dinner at my mom's house and then it was time to go home. i wanted to go shopping with jen and christina, but my kids fell asleep as soon as we got in the car. so sad.

jen and ray are coming over today. i should get ready. it is noon and i am still in my pajamas.

car wash

mason was so cute today. he helped his daddy wash the cars. i loved it. he was running around screaming with joy. mason loves to play in the water. he had so much fun spraying the cars and soaping them up. our cars were super filthy. i was embarassed to drive them. i am so happy that they are now clean.

5 months

dahlia is 5 months old today. we celebrated by going to disneyland. jen and bodhi went with us. it was bodhi's first trip to disney. he slept through most of it. boy, it sure was difficult to take 3 little kids to disney. we were exhausted and left the park after only 4 hours. it was very crowded. i wished we would have been able to get on more than 2 rides. oh well, i know we will be going back soon.

we met up with my other sister christina and her daughter zena for dinner. we had a yummy pizza and salad dinner and then we shopped. yay. we went to visit my mom and dad after dinner. it took forever to get all the kids fed and in their jammies. we didn't get home until 11:00 pm. it is amazing how much harder it was with just one more little one. it makes me wonder if having 3 kids is such a good idea.

buncle ray

we had a fun weekend. ray and jen came over with bodhi and stayed the night. it was bodhi's first sleepover. mason loves his uncle ray. he was having so much fun playing with him. he was running around the house singing the uncle ray song. it sounds like buncle ray. so funny. it was so nice to have them over again. we missed them. they are such cute parents. they have fully embraced all the stereotypes of new parents. this includes talking about their kids poop at the dinner table. too funny.
