The Weekend..

Here are a few pictures that I took this week..with my phone...quality isnt that good, but I atleast took them right!??

Remington is becoming more and more fun each day. He smiles all the time and loves to laugh!

The boys and I went to see Justin Beiber 3D this past week! Crew and I both loved it! We love going to movies together! The boys always do so well and Crew loves that he gets popcorn and a soda! Crew sang and danced during the movie! Good thing it was only us and 2 other people in the whole theatre!


This past weekends rain storm has been fun for Crew. He can actually use his favorite umbrella for the rain and not just for looks as he totes it around everywhere we go! We were going out to eat with Corys parents and when we walked outside it was raining. Crew ran inside as fast as he could and grabbed his umbrella! He loved it!

What a great weekend!

Valentines Day

I would have to say that this was the best Valentines to date. Cory really stepped it up and surprised me! We started by going out to dinner at our new favorite pizza place. Savannah watched the boys and we were able to relax and just talk. We had just gotten our new iphones and when we were ordering them I told Cory that we didnt need to get eachother anything since we had just spent money on those. So I didnt expect anything! Towards the end of the dinner Cory said he had a surprise for me! He then told me that his Valentines gift for me was a 7-day cruise in April and that our moms would be taking turns watching the boys. I was so excited. I have never been on a cruise before. So I cant wait!!!

I then got home and walked in our room and saw these AMAAAAZING 2 dozen roses and a little love note/poem for me. I was even more shocked!

I had a great Valentines Weekend and am so grateful for Cory and the person, husband, and father that he is! I am blessed beyond words can describe of how lucky I feel to have him in my life. Love you babe! Happy Valentines Day!

GIIIIIRLS TRIP!

A couple of weekends ago I was able to go on a girls trip with my sister, cousin's wife, and friend to California! We had lots of fun! We enjoyed sit down dinners (which doesnt happen often when the little boys are around) which also included waiters that were most likely on drugs, shopping at the outlets, going on every adult ride at Disneyland and California Adventure (I havent been on most of those rides since high school), and Six Flags (which is insane, I might add). I enjoyed spending time with these girls and getting to know them better! We had lots of fun and laughed the whole time! Loved every second of it!

My 2 Big Boys!!!

Well, both my boys hit a milestone last week. Remington started eating rice cereal (I cant believe he is already 5 months!) and Crew got Potty trained!

Remington didnt know what to do when I squished him into the bumbo...kinda freaked...kinda cried! He also didnt know what to do with his tounge and didnt really know how to swallow. But he is doing better now and getting the hang of it. He loves to grab the spoon and put his fingers in his mouth too. I thought it would make him "sleep better through the night" but it had the opposite effect. I fed him at 7:30, bathed him, and got him ready for bed. But he was wired! He was wide awake, kicking his legs, and ready to party...until about midnight. Thats when I was like uhhh your going to bed! And he still has been having the same effect to it. So Im doing it in the morning and then at dinner to see what happens!

(wired...cant you tell by those eyes!)

Then there is Crew...man I love this boy! He is hilarious! He thinks he is soooo cool now with his undies on! He has a new strut! He has only had a few accidents and even went to a basketball game with my dad a few nights ago and went to the bathroom several times with him. He also went by himself in nursery! (which I have been stressin' about!) He loves getting toys when he goes poop. Soo...he goes 4 times each day (even if its microscopical) so he can get 4 toys. I swear the boy already knows how to munipulate me! He wanted Pirate undies..which I swear are none existent. So if anyone knows where to find them pleeeease let me know!

Cory went out of town last weekend so Crew and I went and got the eggs...in his undies and yes he thinks he is soo cool! He always has to have some kind of boots on when he goes outside (he has 3 different pairs) and his shovel and bucket to get the eggs!

another christmas post

Warning-longest post ever!!!

I know I am a month late. But I wanted to post them anyways so my mother-in-law could see them! Here are a few of our Christmas activities. Visiting santa at bass pro, peter piper (bc we couldnt go back to see santa until 8:30), Banks Family talent show, and Allen Family Christmas Party.

Bass Pro:

This santa was pretty affectionate I might add. He kissed Remington a couple of times and did the same with my 2 year old niece. It was pretty weird (you can tell by Crew's face that he thought the same thing) but we visited him and thats all that matters!

Next, Peter Piper:

Dont worry I won the JACKPOT and all the kids were coming around to check out what all the camotion was about. And dont worry we pretty much bought the whole ticket store with our winnings!

Next, Banks Family Talent Show:

My grandpas birthday is close to Christmas so he asks us to do a talent show for him. My family usually doesnt do much (except for my little sister Sophie who does a dance or throws a flip or two) so this year my mom decided that we would do the nativity. Cory and I were Mary and Joseph. Remington was baby Jesus and Crew was a lamb (which he wasnt too excited about!)

My niece Leesies Birthday:

Allen family Christmas Party:

This year we went to a train park that is covered with lights. It was fun being with the family. Unfortnatly the lines were hours long and you had to wait in a huge line to just get a ticket to ride too. So we enjoyed eating dinner and being with the family. Until these random charaters showed up. Crew thought he was back at Disneyland! Aunt Sophie took Crew and Leesie around to see them all. They are both IN LOVE with Sophie. Best Aunt EVER!

Disneyland Christmas 2010

This year for Christmas my parents gift to us was a trip to Disneyland. We all left the day after Christmas and had a blast! It was ridiculously crowded, but that just gave us more of an excuse to buy a season pass to go back in a month or two! Crew loves Disneyland and getting all the characters to sign his book. He acts shy around them, but then cant stop talking about how "goofy signed his book!" I think going to Disneyland with your own kids is such an amazing experience. Seeing them so happy just makes the whole place even better then it was when I was a kid! Thanks mom and dad for taking us. We loved it!
