New Things!!

We decided it was time to buy a sectional for our bonus room (tv room). So after nine and a half years our first purchase, as a married couple, (a black leather couch)has been replaced. Our black couch has served us well. It is still super comfortable and it good condition. We are sort of sad to see it go. I saw sort of because we are so excited for the new couch!!


Beckham and I went on our monthly date to Target (I know real fun hun but that is what he wanted to do. While there we found a great buy for some Nerf Guns. I made sure that he was able to pull the trigger by himself and then bought one for each boy. Chandler had fun playing guns too so Stephanie bought him one as well. All week that is all the boys want to do is shoot guns.

Lastly (and most important) is we are expecting something new or rather someone new in October (the 21st to be exact). I am about 14 weeks pregnant. The boys are excited especially since Cooper has been praying for a brother or a sister for a few months now. Chet and I are also excited but a little nervous too. I have been feeling great other than being so tired. Family members have said something to the effect of "it better be a girl". But as far as Chet and I are concerned we do not care as long as he/she is healthy. In fact as busy and crazy as the boys are I have fun with them and I would not mind if I have a house full of crazy boys.

Month overdue

We got our laptop back sooner than 4 weeks, however, I have had a hard time getting back into the swing of things. So here is our update. Beckham is Potty trained!! He has not had any night-time accidents (knock on wood), and only a few during the day. GO Beckham!! As a fun side note, our good friends and neighbors potty trained Chandler the same weekend. Man we are on the same wave length.

Lied Children's Museum
Cooper's preschool took a field trip to the Lied Children's Museum. We have never been there before but we will be sure to go back. They had so many fun things to play with and explore. One of the boys' favorites was a tornado tunnel that had winds blowing really fast. They loved it. I just asked Chet what another thing they liked and he named off like 5 more things. So needless to say They had fun!! Thanks Kris Purcell for organizing such a fun activity and being a great teacher.
The Biggest Loser
We took the boys to the Gran Prix to ride the go-carts. While we were there we med Bob!! Yeah! I have never met anyone famous. Chet was brave and convinced me to take a picture with him!! He was really nice. Why he was at the Gran Prix is a mystery but I'm sure glad he was.
Utah for Spring Break
The boys and I drove up to Utah during our spring break. It was snowing for half of the week. SNOWING!! In APRIL!! Man are we glad we do not live there! The boys love being able to run around gma's/g-pa's back yard. We fed the horses and sheep, went on a bus ride, mowed the lawn, colored eggs and did an Easter egg hunt. I enjoyed being with the family and spent a lot of time reading. My sister Cari, my nephew Kaide (12 years old) and myself ran in a 5K. We were pleasantly surprised with our finishing times. Especially since none of us have ran 3 miles in a really long time. Chet was able to come up the Friday before Easter thanks to our friends Jake and Crystal for letting him bum a ride. We were glad to have him there for the Egg hunt Saturday. Then we all drove home Sunday.
Other Random Things
We went to Red Rock Canyon for a little fun hiking and Mickey and Minnie were there doing volunteer work. We were able to take pictures with them. The boys were super excited especially since we did not even see them at Disneyland.

Chet's good friend Brian and his son Mason came down to Las Vegas to go to the Cubs vs White Sox baseball game. The plan was for Chet, Cooper, Brian and Mason to go to the game but the Providence HOA (where we bought the tickets originally) had extra tickets so last minute we all able to go too. We took a bus down to the stadium and had a great time!
Well that is pretty much all that went on during the month of March. On to beautiful weather and spring time here. I think it was about 80 degrees today! I loved it!! Summer please do not come too quickly.

Quick Update!

Okay so our laptop decided to die so it is being fixed for the next 3-4 weeks. I am currently using a friends for a minute to check the banking, email etc. In the mean time here are a few updates. Chet has been offered a job with Fidelity National as one of their in-house attorneys. Which means no more bill-ables yeah for Chet!! His drive will be a lot longer but oh well. We are excited for his new adventure. Cooper has a field trip to the Lied Children's Museum, he has been looking forward to this for weeks. I will give more details on that when we get our computer back. Beckham is potty trained!! No more diapers!! We woke up a couple weeks ago and decided that it is time. He caught on and has been such a big boy going on his own and everything. As for myself there is not much to report. That's all for now. Until we get our computer back, I hope all goes well in your lives.

Lunch is Served

Today Cooper did not want to eat at lunch time. So an hour later when he did want to eat I was not ready to make another lunch for him. "I will make my own lunch then". He went inside and started cooking. I thought he would make a PB'n'J but when Chet went into check on him he had got out a pan, cracked an egg, thrown the shell away, got a cup of water and milk to pour into the pan and had the spatula to stir it all together. He then asked Chet to get the food coloring, one half of a bananna and a shrimp without the tail. Chet said with each request was very authoritative. Chet turned on the stove and Cooper cooked his Lunch. As you can imagine it did not smell good or taste good. He was so proud of his cooking abilities he wanted to try again with just an egg.

Lion King

A couple of weeks ago my mom and all of my sisters came to Las Vegas to have a girls night out. Chet was a trooper and kept my sisters 8 month old baby while we went to dinner and "Lion King". We had such a great time! The costumes were amazing and the actors voices were breath taking. If you have not had a chance to see it I recommend it. I love living in Las Vegas where we can go to shows anytime we want.

Beckham's pictures

A couple of weeks ago we went to Target to get Beckham's 3 year old picture taken. I like to go there because they do a pretty good job and it is cheap. When I picked the pictures up they asked if they could put one picture in thier book to show others. I thought that was the coolest thing. I have always thought my kids were cute and take good pictures so I was pretty excited that someone else did too. The black and white is the one they kept. The others I just liked so I thought I would share.
 
   

Disney On Ice

We went to Disney On Ice a couple of weeks ago. It was raining so we left a little earlier than normal. We arrived at the event at 6:00 pm only to find out that doors did not open til 6:30. So we stood outside for 30 minutes. Once the doors did open we found our seats and waited until 7 (when it started). A few minutes after 7 the show still had not started so I looked on our tickets low and behold the show did not start until 7:30. Poor boys. They were so patient. Once the show started the boys loved it! We saw the "Cars" characters, "Little Mermaid", "Lion King", and "Tinkerbell". I hope that we will be able to go next year.
