Because I can't freakin' wait anymore!

Just a quick peek at the whole reason we traveled to the surface of the sun:
The wedding of my baby sister and her (now) husband. There ya go. Now you have to wait a bit for the rest of them.

Cooling Off

Other than a much needed trip to Target for some benadryl for my allergy ridden oldest, our first activity was the pool. Enjoy. She is going to completely kill me for blogging these but... This is my gramma on the slide. The BEST slide pics of the whole afternoon. Mostly because of her facial expression. And gramma's feet. Awesome. Kirk. It looks like he was dropped out of the sky rather than went down the slide. He's standing straight up in the water... weird. Desirae. Blake. How much water do you think he swallowed with his mouth open like that?

Braxton's favorite sport of the day. Jump off the diving board into daddy's arms. Rinse and repeat.

Kieran behind the safety fence. He wasn't really into the whole pool thing. He played in the dog water instead.

Go Uncle Bub!

The final splash of the evening.
And Chad and Kirk. Being teenage weirdos. Different pool episode, but it fit with the theme.

Let the posts begin...

So, while I'm waiting for the nine hundred pictures I took of my little sisters wedding download to the computer - I'll start posting with the three hundred or so I took of the rest of the trip. Be warned some of them are taken with my iphone - so they're not of the awesomest quality. Hopefully this sates the masses for a little while.

The first leg of our trip. Bolt on the itouch and a sleeping Kieran. This is how Braxton looked until......He looked like this! In the Dallas Fort Worth Airport. Just as a warning to those with kids. They don't have baby changing tables in the bathrooms, and family restrooms? What are those? Seriously. Huge-a- Stink had to be changed in the gate lobby. Sorry to our fellow passengers. Blame it on Texas. Seriously. (Oh, and I totally loved the polka dotted suitcase in the lower righthand part of the picture)

We arrived in Pheonix with no real mishaps or delays. There was a twenty minute delay while the de-swine flued our connecting plane that had just come in from Cozumel. No big.

Then the fun began...

Peace!

This will be my last post for at least one week. The boys and I are headed to the surface of the sun. Locals call it Phoenix. I call it damn hot. Anyway, my little sister is getting married - and I plan to be there for the festivities. Photo documentation will be presented after I've recovered. Peace out y'all.

Gross.

This afternoon the snack for the kiddos was water and goldfish. Normal enough apart...

Absolutely horrific together. Or at least that is what I think. Kieran thought different. He ate it all. ALL. *shudder*

Some Baby Lovin's...

Some of my childhood dolls have made it onto the cubbies for the boys. It turns out that dolls for boys is a good idea - (though, I would prolly do it anyway since I don't plan on having a girl to give them to) - apparently the word is that it helps foster compassion, tenderness, and other maternalesque stuff in boys. Woot! Well, the favorites seem to be my cabbage patch twins. Antonia and Barkley.

Kieran and Barkley. Awww... how sweet. He was airplaneing him - just like Mark does with the boys.

And a story...

Last night the toy B-rox chose to take with him on the trip to pick up Mark from the Metro was Barkley. A few miles after we were on the freeway I hear this from the backseat

B: "MOOOOOOOOOM - OH NO OH NO OH NO!!!!!"

Me: "Holy moly, what is wrong - what's happening - are you ok?"

B: "WHERE IS BARKLEY'S BEEP? HE DOESN'T HAVE ONE AND HE HAS TO GO PEE!"

Me: (I look in the kidview mirror and discover that Barkley's pants are around his ankles) "Uhhh, I don't think he came with one honey"

B: "Oh man, he [Barkley] is SO sad about this".

Laughter is NOT good for driving on the freeway...

I think I'll keep them...

In Parent's Magazine this month the uber cool craft idea was to make mother's day flowers from old magazines. I thought it was pretty nifty so I figured the boys and I could make them for all the moms on our list. Well... I like them better in my house. So it's on to project numero two. Within this boquet there are many hunky faces such as Clive Owen and Marky Mark, Pottery Bark Kids rooms, the cover page for a drug smuggling ring article, and some random stuff from some of the other mag's we have subscriptions to. These three are some of the coolest. Skechers Advert. Marky Mark's face, and a random "Runner's World" advert. This flower turned out to be my favorite. It's a skechers spring shoe sale advertisement.
