Sim's 3rd Birthday

Simeon turned 3 yesterday. He is such a cutie. He kept telling me "I'm fwee mom".
Presents. We got him a semi truck that holds a bunch of cars. Scott forgot to take it out of the car and he found it. He was very mad when I told him he couldnt have it. I thought it would ruin the surprise but he didnt seem to care he was just as excited as when he found it in the car.








My mom got him a remote control firetruck. He really liked it except when Scott made it squirt water at him. It is amazing how time flies by so fast. I kept thinking he was gonna be 2 years old. I still see him as Carters age.

San Diego Vacation!!!

We left for San Diego on Saturday. We got there at 9pm and we stopped at a hotel and they told us that there are no available rooms in the town of San Diego. So that was just wonderful news. Late night were all tired 3 kids sleeping and nowhere to stay. So luckily I have my handy Blackberry storm (the greatest phone ever). It does everything. I was looking for hotels and calling them. After an hour and a half of driving and calling hotels we finally found one. They only had a couple suites left. But they gave us this really nice suite for $130. So finally we got to sleep around 11.
Scott's fancy hair...... oh what the humidity does to that fro.

Our first morning. Scott was loading the car with all our stuff and I was taking pics. This one of the kids is so cute.

The first day we were there we went to the zoo. It was a lot of fun the kids loved all the animals. Here is a Koala bear. Oh and if you go to the San Diego zoo don't eat the food. It is disgusting and extremely overpriced. Scott and I didn't eat lunch because we know the food is horrible.



This Panda was funny how he sat on the tree.


















Carter just chillin. ha ha he is a funny kid when you bring out the camera.















I have this same pic of Dez when she was three. So had to get it again 5 years later.
































I wanted to get a good pic of his long hair. All the boys are growing their hair until the Rucker campout on September 4th. As you will see in Scott's pictures he has a pretty good beard also.












We all got to pet this turtle. It just crawled around Seaworld.













We all got to pet Bat rays. They are pretty gross looking and they feel gross too. I couldn't get any pics of the kids touching them cause I was holding Sim and Scott was holding carter.














This was at the Shamu show. It was very, very bright out here as you can see by our squinting faces.















Dez got her face painted. I thought she looked kinda scary. She usually gets a pretty face painting but the girl didn't do as good of a job as they normally do.
















Carter couldn't look at me with his eyes open cause it was so bright. He's a big goof.

















CHEESE!!!!


















The best part. Carter is sleeping and Sim is pretending to sleep. Dez and Scott went on the Rapids ride and I waited for them with the boys for about an hour. So after we left from that ride we were going to go on the Atlantis ride. Its a roller coaster that you get wet on. I have been dieing to go on it. The last 2 times I've been at Seaworld I have been pregnant and haven't been able to go. So I thought YES its finally my turn. BUT...... right after Dez and I got in line it broke down and they said it probably wouldn't be going again the rest of that day. Great, right?
So I thought ok we will just come back again tomorrow so I can go. But I called to see if it was running that day and they said it wasn't yet. So it never got going again. So maybe someday I can go on it.





























































































At the beach. We only went to the beach one day. It was pretty cold the whole time we were there. We only stayed at the beach about an hour. The kids were all shivering so we left and had dinner.
It was so nice being away but its nice to be back home. We are all very tired.























This is the view from our condo's living room. It was so pretty. The master bedroom also faces the ocean. So we left the door open and listened to the waves all night. It is one of the most soothing sounds I have ever heard.


We burried Dez. she is funny we burry her every time we go to the beach.


SANDCASTLE



Carter's first time at the beach. He really liked it. he didnt like the cold water though.

Sad but Good


Yesterday we got rid of our dog Flash. It was sad but good. We didnt have enough time to give him the attention he needed. Scott has been working a lot and with the kids its hard to have a dog. So we found a family with a couple dogs. They were very nice and I know Flash will be a lot happier.
