Ode to Parker

Oh, Parker my second born,

you are so clever,

I am completely torn,

I will always love you forever.

However could I beg of you,

to let your brother be,

it makes me so blue,

when you fight and disagree.

And on another note,

how is it you are so cute,

even when you correct my misquote,

You, my boy are a hoot!

Food in the House of Dalberg

This will be all about FOOD!!  All the awesomeness that is Steve, really.  So if you are hungry,  

LOOK AWAY,  FAR AWAY!

I am pretty sure no words were needed for this except for MMMMMMMM, GOOD!

Last Days of School 2009-2010

There is so much to do in the last days of school.  Carnival, Country Fair for the 3rd graders, BBQ for the Kindergarteners, Field Day, Volunteer Appreciation Tea, plus help the teachers close up for the year (yeah this was new to me, also), plus oh so much more.  

Working on his final project of 3rd grade.

Greyson's scene from Charlotte's Web.  He got 100%.

Parker at field day.  Filling up cup with water, running to other bucket and dumping.

Same as above but this time with sponge.  

As far as my numbers added up I volunteered at school a total of 150+ hours.  Wow.  Lets see if I can beat that this next year.  Lord knows they need the help.  

Wonder if I can use this for blackmail next year.  (Mrs. Holmes, Miss Cuellar, and Mrs. Dominguez- the 3rd grade teachers)

Miss Cuellar hula hooping.  Greyson's teacher was awesome this year.  Hope we get another cool one in September.  

So apparently I forgot my camera a lot this year.  But no worries now I have the iphone 4 and will be taking lots of photos and video for the 2010-2011 school year.

Legoland Adventures

How is it that I blink and it is months later and I have not written a dang thing.  It is not like I have been sitting on my butt or anything.  Ok you caught me I so have been.  Facebook is an addictive drug.  So the next few postings will be a recap of late May to well now.  (Lets hope I don't forget to blog again.)

At the end of May we took the day off of school and went to Legoland with Greyson's friend David.  Carla had free passes for us. Yea!  So we drove down.  It is way close, only an hour long trip

The obligatory front of Legoland picture.  Come on you know you all do it.

Eyes on the road dude.  I am so never letting him drive my car.

Parker in his blue lego racer.

Look the boys are GIANTS in San Fran!

It is always important to make sure there is no one spying on you when you are going #2. This poor guy didn't even know there were GIANTS, let alone GIANTS with sick potty humor.  Beware Lego people we do exist.

This was also the trip that MESSED up my lower back, but thanks to Phyiscal Therapy I am back on track and recovering.   More later.

Today's Disneyland Adventures

We went to Disneyland today, we are on the count down to having no annual passes.  We just don't have room in the budget, I am sure you can understand.  So we have 41 days left, and we are trying to make the most of it.  We went last Thursday night also, but forgot the camera, so I am glad we remembered it today. 

I heard they had updated It's a Small World and  Rivers of America so we made a special visit for that today.  Steve and Greyson say they didn't notice any changes other than sponsor for It's a Small World, but I think they added a few new Disney characters including Mulan, and Cinderella.  I think the rest has been updated in structure and dolls with the moving mouths.  I however am no expert on this ride.   

 While we were there we also went on the newly refurbished Thunder Mountain Railroad. This happens to be the boy's favorite ride so we went on it twice.  The first time I rode with Parker and took some pictures the second time with Greyson where he proceeded to put new meaning on the corner game.  For not weighing much Greyson can really hit you on those turns.  Ouch I will be hurting for a few days.

as we were whipping by I even got a shot of the goat with the dynamite. 

We also went on the Story Book Ride,  honestly we could not tell if anything had changed since we hadn't been on it in forever. But here are a few pictures of us.

And another favorite ride of ours is Astro Blasters.  There is just something about killing that evil Zurg, that we all like so much. 

Well I hope everyone had as great of a Sunday as we did. 
XXOO,
Jenny
