Luke's Partay!!!

Last week was super-busy. Thursday the boys and I cleaned the house and mowed the yard so we could have some fun on Friday before picking my sister, Jenn, up from LAX.

We got to Marina del Mar around noon. We had a picnic lunch on the beach and then played a bit~ 2hrs. After the beach, we hit a nice park around the corner and down the street from LAX (Jenn's flight didn't arrive until 5pm). The park was really nice and we got to see a lot of airplanes. Luke liked pointing them out every time one took off, which was almost every minute (the other ladies at the park thought he was so cute).

LAX was packed full of cops!!! We had to stop at a check point before entering...kinda creepy! I was so happy I didn't get lost trying to find Jenn. The terminal was marked really well and I only had to cut off 1 taxi and park in the bus zone to get her :P

After picking Jenn up we went to P.F. Changs for dinner. Luke loved the broccoli beef and Ian loved the rice (dude had 2 bowls). Then we took off for home.

Saturday morning the boys had us up pretty early, 6am. We had pancakes for breakfast (Ian's request) and then started setting up for the party!

Despite the stormy weather outside, the party was a success. Luke had a ton of fun and really liked all the gifts he got. (Thanks everyone)

After everyone went home, we went to a hockey game with my parents, sister and my Aunt, Uncle and Cousin.

Sunday afternoon, we went to another birthday party...my friend's son, Luca turned 2!

Luke's Birthday...so far

What's better than cake??? Pizookie Platter at BJ's!!!

While we were waiting for the pizookie, we let Luke open his gift from Ian...water gun, water swords (2, one for Luke and one for Ian), mini-football and submarines for the bathtub :P

Oh what a weekend!!!

Beware...extremely long post with lots of pictures!

Last Thursday night was super-nice out. We roasted marshmellows over our fire pit. Then we got out Ty's Christmas gift and looked at a few stars. We're not sure if the boys actually saw the stars through the telescope, they kept closing both eyes.

Friday afternoon my new macro-lens arrived for my camera.

Saturday, was my neice, Audrey's, 1st Birthday party. We weren't able to make the long journey to Northern California, but the boys and I made her some cute bows....well I made them, but Ian picked out the colors.
Instead, we went South to the Descanso Gardens in La Canada.

The gardens were amazing. We spent over 4hrs there and could have spent another 4hrs. We're planning another trip sometime in late April or early May (when the flowers will be in bloom).

On the ride home from the gardens, Ty and I got a call from my parents asking if the boys could stay the night. After dropping them off, Ty and I went "Glow in the Dark" minature golfing.

Sunday, I went to a baby shower for my friend Shawnra. I made baby Jozlyn beanies and bows (Ian picked out those colors too). They played some interesting and fun games. In one I fed my other friend Rachel baby food (applesauce) with my non-dominate hand~helps that I'm ambidextrous when it comes to eating. We won, of course...she got a nice Miche purse.

Luke who's 2...well almost

A week to go...

This was Ian at 2.
