So this time last week, we were eating dinner in Las Vegas; waking up on Saturday to swim in a nice pool on a hot day. Aahhhhhh, so nice.  This was a busy week, and kind of weird with regard to sleeping.  Owen and Liam have been sleeping late - like past 8 am and going on 9 am.  Unfortunately that is because they are waking up at night.  On Tuesday Owen missed school because we didn't even wake up until 9 am (school starts at 9, we have to leave the house by 8:20).  I hope last night was the culmination of the midnight wakings; Liam was up for over two hours last night.  Fingers crossed!  TGIF!  We are going to a Dodgers game tomorrow and I have us all outfitted.  Mommy got a hat, Owen got a hat and a sweatshirt, Daddy got a tshirt, and Liam has a cute Dodgers outfit.  Of course there'll be pictures so look for them.  xoxo

 

las vegas here we come

We are off on a mini vacation to LV.   Nothing big but we are looking forward to spending time by the pool, and taking Owen to see the sights.  We are going to Circus Circus and Mirage to see the animals.  Hopefully he'll like it.  I don't know if he's maybe too young.  This is our first time taking Liam to a hotel.  Until now we reserved one king size bed and slept with Owen.  Now we are going to try two double beds and each take a boy.  I haven't slept with Liam so I don't know how that will go.  We have been strong and kept him in his own bed.  Actually we just moved Liam to his crib about two weeks ago.  He's doing great sleeping (mostly) through the night.  So wish us luck in ol' Vegas

After the party

Anyone who knows us knows our parties.  We have big parties for just about any reason, and they are always a lot of fun.  One of the best things about parties is the day after the party.  That's when you get to sit around and "recover" by eating cake and snack mix, make fruit smoothies, and just sit around.  Usually Emily and Donny are here so Owen gets to play with his cousins which keeps him entertained and happy.  I even get to take a nice, long nap.  By dinnertime I'm not even hungry because I've been snacking all day.  It's just a nice, lazy day.  I guess you can say, "I like the nightlife.  I like to party.  And I like the day after-rrrrrrr".   The biggest thing we did today was put together Liam's crib.  And when I say "we", I mean Loren put it together while I watched, surfed the internet, and typed this blog.   But now he's done and so it's my turn to decorate.  TTYL
