It Is Official..

It is Official... I am OLD. 

On April 22 I turned 30. 

Ever since then things have been falling apart. Let me just name a few: 

1. I have age spots on my hands. 

2. With this pregnancy I have gained A LOT more weight and I am only 5 months along. 

3. I have gray hair, there are wrinkles around my eyes and the list goes on... 

But, with turning 30 came some good things too.

I better start from the beginning.

 Gavin sent me flowers that morning, I love flowers so that was fun! Then I called him to go to lunch with me, but he had a lot to do for work, so I ate lunch by myself at home. (I kind of had a pity party about it.) Then at 5:00 we went to dinner just the two of us. Preston had a baseball game at 7:00, Mom came over to watch the kids and we headed to Texas Roadhouse. It was raining and Preston's game ended up being canceled. Gavin had told me that we were going to just have our parents come over and have cake after the game, because it would be to late for a real party. After the game was canceled Gavin said,  "Dang we should have called all the family now that there isn't going to be a game."

But he never called anyone. (I again kind of had a pity party, in my mind.) After dinner he said, "Hey lets go shopping since we don't have to hurry home."
Sweet! I thought. Then he drove to Walmart and we bought a mat for the car. Nice. After that we stopped at Big 5 and Rebel Sports and bought GAVIN some new shoes. (Okay my idea of shopping was a lot different. I wanted some new clothes, maybe?! Nope, Gavin got shoes.)

As we were driving home he told me he got a text from his dad that said he had left my present at his house and wanted to know if we would stop and get it. As we pulled up to the house, Gavin motioned for me to get out and go get it. I LOST it!

 I said "Let me think about this day for just a second. First I ate lunch alone, then we went shopping and bought YOU new shoes and a floor mat.  Your mom completely forgot my birthday for the second year in a row and now you want ME to get out and go GET my OWN present!"
I then jumped out of the car, slammed the door and ran up to Dennis front door. I flung it open only to hear,

"SURPRISE!"

All of our family was there with a big sign to wish me Happy Birthday! Oh man did I feel dumb! I had a big pity party for no reason. 

All in all it turned out to be a fun day. The surprise was great and I was happy to  spend my birthday with my family and friends. They are really all that matter anyway. 

One Big Pig!

Preston has an amazing teacher. She really goes the extra mile in everything she does. Last year Landon was able to go see her pig, and she made sure that this year Preston was able to come too. The only difference was that this year's pig was feisty! Right when Preston got in the corral with it, it ran right after him wanting to play. Pres wasn't to sure about that, so we never really got a great picture. I can't say I blame him, that pig weights a lot more than my 30 pounder. :) He liked Cam and Kenzie's sheep better, maybe because there was no charging involved!

Lets Go Fly a Kite

Preston received a free kite at the Kite Festival for reading. We went to fly it only to find out our kite skills are not that hot, but we had fun anyway!

Addie's Birthday

All Addie wanted for her birthday was cake. That made things really easy. I love little people parties! It was a fun day filled with family and especially cake! We all love this little girl and don't know what we would do with her. She is growing right before our eyes. She talks a mile a minute, and carries a purse with her most of the time. Happy Birthday Sweetie! We love you.

Kindergarten Field Trip

I was lucky enough to get to go on Preston's Field Trip to the Airport and Fire Station. Preston was able to ride on the baggage cart, and even shoot the fire hose.  It was fun to be apart of such an exciting day! He has such a cute class and a great teacher, I am getting a little bit sad that Kindergarten is going to be over for him in just a couple of weeks. He told me the other day that he loves Kindergarten, but he is scared for 1st grade. I asked him "Why are you scared?" He said "Because he heard (probably from his brother, thank you Landon.) that is it is REALLY HARD." I told him "not to worry."  I know he will be fine in 1st grade it is me and Addie that are going to have the hard time. We are going to miss that little man all day.

Falling Fast

Landon participated in the Science Fair this year. His experiment was to see if a golf ball and a baseball would fall at different or the same speeds. He thought they would fall different because the sizes were different. Well, he as wrong... they fall at the exact same speed. It was fun to learn a little about science with him. He really likes to know how/why things work, his brain is very mechanical I guess you could say. He didn't win any ribbons or get to advance to region, but he did sit in the lunch room all day with these cute girls! I bet that was fun! :)

Spring In the Desert

The Sliderzz played in a baseball tournament in Las Vegas over Easter weekend. It was held at the Big League Dreams baseball complex. Wow, is all I can say about the fields, they were crazy cool. The fields are replica's of famous baseball parks. We played on Fenway, so fun! The other really cool part was it had a clubhouse, was landscaped with playground, grass and cement. I couldn't believe we had been at baseball games all day when we left because everyone was so clean! Landon included, the fields were turf, so I didn't even have to the red out of his baseball pants. It was great! The Sliderzz played awesome the first 2 days and came back on Saturday as the #1 seed. Unfortunately we lost our first game, but all in all it was a great weekend. Can't wait to go back!
