Graduation was so funny to watch. Savanna did her usual dancing with each song. She is such a joy to me! I love having a girl to balance out the two crazy brothers.

So summer is here and I cant believe it! Today we have friends over and experiencing the first pains of boredom. I explained that summer is suppose to be boring and these will be the most memorable days. They seemed less than thrilled about that.

At least their summer is only 7 weeks long. Growing up and having 3 months at home with two brothers, while our parents at work, was pure torture. I can't even remember how many times we would call my mom to ask her what we could have for lunch, david is bugging me, what are you going to make for dinner, when are you going to be home? I'm a little jealous that my mom had a job to escape to.

Count down to mine and hunter's trip to D.C., going to my friends cabin and some solo trips are what I am looking forward to.

I love the age my kids are at. Wyatt and Savanna both like to sleep in and Hunter loves waking up early, just to have the t.v. all to himself.

Saturday afternoon was so relaxing. At home, Lego's dumped out everywhere, frozen yogurt for lunch, boys getting along and savanna being her sweet self. The morning did start with a death. I came down stairs and Savanna was on the couch saying,"I'm super sorry mom. My hamster beat-ted up Wyatt's hamster." I looked in the cage and wyatt's hamster was missing it's head! I get a paper towel and take it out of the cage and toss it in the trash. Wyatt comes down stairs and Savanna delivers the bad news. She has a way of saying "super sorry" that kinda sounds like shes really not; just wants to sound like a teenager. I'm pretty sure his hamster died because he would do the monkey bars across the top of the cage. One too many falls and he died. I never knew that the other hamster would eat it though. So gross! Anyways, Wyatt was more concerned about seeing what it looked like with it's head eaten off. Kinda strange since he loves animals more than anyone I know.

This weekend I was reminded how lucky I am to have these sweet angels. They are each so different yet fill my heart up in ways only they can. Wyatt told me the other day that being a kid is hard. I knew what he meant; having his parents divorced. It broke my heart. Then I realized that I still am the same parent, just with higher standards. My kids have had to learn some pretty hard lessons this past year; nothing I thought I would ever put them through. It does get easier everyday and the most important thing is to communicate. You never know what lies are being said!

Savanna's new word to describe a weird man is "creeper". We were looking at a Disneyland book, getting prepped for our girls trip, and she saw the pirates from "Pirates of the Caribbean". This is what she said about each one, "him's face I don't like. Him is bald. And this guy is just a creeper!" She has been talking more adult-like, except for the mistreatment of pronouns. The other day Wyatt was bugging her and she said, "Wyatt I know you are doing this intentionally."

So this is the last week of school. Hard to imagine that Hunt will be in 5th grade. I'm so excited to take him to D.C. in June. He has always wanted to go to New York too. So I surprised him...We are going to take the train up to NYC for the night. His favorite show is Cake Boss, which is in Brooklyn, so that is a definite stop! Cant wait to see the city again and this time with my cutie pie.

I think I am getting old; i cried several times today because of the sweet things my babies did for me.

Savanna brought me my present to my bed. It was a cute picture frame she made with her beautiful picture inside. Then a book of all the things she loves about me. The cutest thing she wrote was, "I love how my mom wears make up and dresses."

Hunter made me breakfast. Waffles, ice cream with granola, and a bagel with cream cheese. Good thing I'm not on Adkins diet. He also made me a coupon book. The best coupon was for doing homework and getting the kids ready for bed.

Wyatt's presents started the week before with a beautiful mug he made in clay class. He also made me a book about what he loved about me.

Later in the day we saw African Cats at the movies and then went to the bookstore and everyone picked out a new book. It was a beautiful day with my babies.

The weekend was busy with catering events. It doesn't seem like work because I'm with my best friends! But this particular event was at a dairy farm. Just as the night was ending I saw this toad out of the corner of my eye. It was so big I thought it was some random garden statue. Then it hopped. My immediate response was "how am i going to bring this home to Wyatt?" When I finally picked it up I realized just how big it was. Seriously, the size of a small puppy.

I didn't believe it when Savanna told me her tooth was loose. Like everything else, she is in a hurry to grow up. The past two days she says she can only eat frozen yogurt or cake pops; anything else hurts her tooth.
By 5:00 tonight that thing was hanging by a tiny root. I was so glad she let me pull it! I don't usually get sentimental with monumental things like this but it is a little sad.

The video clip above was shot in the dark so you cant see anything. I could listen to this all day; actually I did listen to the giggling all weekend. I had sent this to my friend because she has been victim to my sisters snoring in NYC. La Jolla was so much fun!
