Labor Day Fun

Labor Day = swimming, food and me anticipating a trip to the ER with all these crazy dives/throws. Luckily there was no ER needed.

Crazy Cruz

My little Cruzer baby boy has turned into a rowdy toddler, help! He is always on the table, opening the fridge to get out the Hersheys syrup and sucking on the lid, messing with remote controls, and whatever other naughty thing you can think of. It is a really good thing that he is so super lovable and sweet, otherwise i just might throw him in the garbage. I guess that is where he likes to hang out anyways.

The Weekend

A few pics from last weekend.

We went on a Saturday morning hike. Super fun.

The boys got in some hang out time at Grandmas. Nash somehow turned into just bones.

Grandpa got to do what he does best. Hold his two youngest grandchildren.

Thanks Glamma Fabulous

Last night my Mother, the wonderful Glamma Fabulous came over to babysit. She brought with her oversized monster cupcakes. A different one for every boy. Not only did she babysit, help with the homework, indulge the kids with sugar but, she made it possible for the hubs and I to go see Matisyahu and 311. It was surreal. Everyone there was the same. Ya know, late twenties early thirty somethings that listened to that music back in the good ol' days. Like in the 90's. It was cool and we had fun. Then we walked to the car and realized that we are getting old and crusty. Our ears hurt a tad and we drove home in our minivan.

NERD

Slade came walking in today like this, with Jason's glasses on and this shirt tucked into his jammies. He proclaimed "I'm a Nerd!" I guess Steve Urkle would be proud.

DON'T THREATEN ME WITH A GOOD TIME

Being that I am a huge fan of reality TV (why lie, let's just embrace it) I have found our new family mantra. As stated be Rodeo - that's a girls name - on Brett Michaels Rock of Love, "Don't threaten me with a good time." It is perfect in almost every setting. Try it out, see if it works for you. It worked for us when we went to the D-backs game. I was a little threatened, but I did have a good time.

Didn't I Tell You They Were Crazy

Tonight they decided to use this diaper to entertain themselves for hours. Diaper outside of jammies, diaper as a football helmet and apparently a diaper on the head turned Blue into a hippie. Poor Cruz in the backgroung - just trying to get some shout out.

School is Cool

I just got back from taking Blue and Slade to their first day of school. They were excited and ready to go. After meeting their teachers at meet the teacher night Slade said to Blue, "I wish my teacher was young like yours - not like a grandma." Blue said, "No Slade that's good. That means she has more experience." So Blue is off to 1st grade, I can't believe it. While Slade is going to a Pre-K that is at the school everyday half day. I think this Pre-K will be the perfect transition to full day Kindergarten. His teacher is super nice and i think she will be perfect for my little Slade pants. Blue's teacher is 22 years old. I'm sure she will be super motivated about teaching scince this is her first year...I hope. Anywho, now I am off to do a little shopping with just Cruz in tow.

Yes, These Are My Children.

These are a few pictures to show exactly what I am dealing with. Three boys, lots and lots of scotch tape on a daily basis, and a lot of messy "experiments." This is when I say, "Dear Lord, please help."

Cruzer

This is my baby Cruz. He is a crazy, sweet, high pitched screaming baby. His favorite place in the house to be is, in the bathroom with his hands in the toilet. This is not my favorite place for him to be. He apparently also loves Tupperware. He is a clown - watch out class of 2024.

Christmas in July

Three Men and a Baby

Here is the latest baby in the ever popular G family. Sloan Marion. Blue and Slade are sure proud cousins.

Cruz soaking up the sun. His face looks especially round and kissable in this picture.

Blue ready at all times to throw a sand ball. I had to keep remind him that those are reserved for his Brother and Father. The Mother is immuned.

Slade relaxing and enjoying the sand. We all like summer better on the beach.

In Loving Memory

My autographed picture in my living room.

I just wanted to send out a little love for the late Tammy Faye. She died after a long battle of cancer. I love her and I am super sad that she is no longer with us. One thing I know for sure is that she went straight to Heaven. She was always such a great example of Christ like love. She accepted everyone with love - including Ron Jeremy - she just really knew how to love the sinner without loving the sin. After meeting her twice at two different swap meets and, watching her on The Eyes of Tammy Faye and The Surreal Life - I fell in love. She will be missed.
