Burner's 3 year old pics

Family Pics

Here are some of the family pics we got at JcPenny.

Mini-golf

On Dad's day off we got to go Mini-golfing as a family.

Dad taught the boys how to putt.
Bop liked learning a new thing.
Burner just liked hitting the ball, he didn't care where it went.

Before we got to the end, Burner gave up on the golf club and started bowling instead.

Scarecrow

Bop's class made scarecrows the other day. I got to go in and help them out.

Here is Bop with his scarecrow

After Bop and his friend made their scarecrows,
they put them side by side so they could hold hands.

Lego Cake

Burner told me he wanted a Lego cake for his birthday.

This was what I had planed.

But after several failed attempts at crumb coating, I gave up and he got this Lego cake instead.

3 Year Check-up

Burner had his 3 year check up this morning.

All morning long, he told me "Mom, I not sick" I kept reassuring him that the doctor just wanted to see how big he is now. I left out the part where he was going to get a shot.

Weight 32.6 lbs 50th percentile
Height 37.5 inches 50th percentile.

Proud to be Drug Free

Bops school had a balloon launch today for red ribbon week (AKA drug free week). Bop doesn't go to school until the afternoon, and the balloon launch was in the morning, but I knew the boys would think it was neat, so we ran over and participated.

After the hot air balloon went up, all the kids got to release a red balloon of their own.

A Very Happy Birthday Boy

For weeks now, if you asked Burner what he wanted for his birthday, he would say "desk".

He was so excited when he got this fun one this morning.

Happy Birthday Big Guy!

I am Impressed

Burner loves to grab books and have me read them. He loves when Bop reads to him also. So I shouldn't have been surprised when he picked up one of Bops books and read it word for word.




I realize he isn't technically reading, he has just memorized the book, but they say that is the first step to reading, so I am still impressed with my 2 year old.
(yeah I know he is only 2 for 1 more day, but I can still say he read his first book when he was 2)

PS sorry about the low quality video, I had to record it like that so I could text it to people.

Cruise

Dad and I were able to take a cruise, the best part about it was that we didn't have to pay for it.

As many of you know, Dad's December work schedule is insane. He works open to close, at the Jewelry store, 7 days a week. Starting on black Friday and ending Christmas Eve. As a Thank you for all that hard work, they take all the management on a cruise every September.

We took a 4 day cruise on the Carnival Paradise.
Our rooms were 3x larger then what I expected. That doesn't mean they were big, it only means that they had a floor to walk on, and the toilet wasn't in the shower.


LA and the Queen Mary.
Catalina Island


Ensenada Mexico

Day at sea.
I give Dad a hard time for laying out in the sun while dressed from head to toe, but the truth is, I wasn't much better. But at least I took my shoes off. That makes it better, right!?

Our towel animals.
I still can't figure out what the one in the bottom corner is supposed to be.

I had a lot of fun, but I missed my two little guys.
They were having fun, and getting spoiled at Grandma and Grandpa FarAway's house.

(Sorry about the pic, Burner did not want his picture take)

Thank you to Grandma and Grandpa for watching the kids so that we didn't have to worry about them while we were gone.

Family Pics

Here are the family pics that we had taken this summer.

This one is my favorite

Mom and Bop


All the cousins from Mom's side. Well all of the cousins at the time of the picture.
Now there is one more baby.

Thanks to Gina for taking the pictures.

But you should see the other guy.

Poor little Burner.

We were playing gingerbread/puppy. I was the puppy, and Bop and Burner were the gingerbread men. While chasing them and trying to eat them, Burner fell down and hit his eye on the elliptical machine.

Fall Carnival

I remember only two things from elementary school. First is the fall carnival each year. Second is the dance festival at the end of each year. I am sure there were somethings in between the two activities, like math, english, science and so on, but I don't remember those.

Anyways, when Bop came home with a flier for the carnival, I got super excited.

The snow-cones!
Note to self for next year, don't start with snow cones, it makes for blue faces in all the fallowing pictures.

The dunk booth!
If you can't tell, that is Bampa in the dunk booth, and Bop dunking him!

The cake walk is awesome!
I mean who wouldn't want to get a cupcake just for walking in a circle? Seriously, it is a genius game.
Colored hair spray!
I do miss the days when I could have streaks of color in my hair and it was cool instead of,
"hehehe look at that old lady with colored hair, she is way to old to do that"


The train!
Okay, so this is a little lot boring to me, but it is worth it to see the kids smile.


Misc games!
You remember the games that only cost one ticket and you win some cheap plastic toy that is worth about 1 penny. Yeah, those games are awesome!

Balloon animals!
Burner is so stinkin' cute with his frog. Yes it is a frog, at least that is what the lady said it was.

The cotton candy!

I am pretty sure the best part of any carnival or fair has to be the cotton candy. And yes, I totally stole some of theirs.
