Olympia weekend in Las Vegas!

 Seth has wanted to go to Mr. Olympia the past few years. It never has worked out with his work schedule until this year. We were all really excited to go. We booked our first night at the Golden Nugget because it has an awesome water slide that goes through an aquarium of sharks! Doran couldn't wait!

 We got there around 9:30 at night and checked in and got in our swim suits and headed down to swim... The pool was closed! We were so disappointed! It didn't re-open again until just about check-out time.

 So we hot tubbed that night and then went and got hot cocoas at starbucks the next morning and sat and watched the sharks.

 After we checked out we went to the expo! It was lots of fun and we got lots of free stuff. The boys even had a lot of fun the first few hours. They liked getting free things. Brock liked the protein shakes.

 We saw a little bit of the figure show.

 All our free swag from the first day! I loved my musclepharm sunglasses!

 Doran and Brock both got musclepharm glasses too and love them.

 The next morning we met my step-sister and her family for breakfast. I think it was a parenting low for me. Doran has gotten sick in breakfast restaurants for awhile. We started having them clean the surface they would cook his food on and he would be fine. About a year ago that even changed. He started getting sick even being in the restaurant. I had a feeling we shouldn't go, but I ignored it. Pretty soon his eyes were puffy. A few minutes later he was sneezing. Seth took him outside and then he threw up. I felt very bad. I have officially vowed that I will never take him to a breakfast restaurant or to a house cooking breakfast again. It isn't fair to him.

 Brock enjoyed breakfast though!

 That afternoon the boys and Becca went back to the expo and the boys and I went swimming. I laid out pretty much the whole time. I just laid right by the edge and watched the boys swim and show off for all the ladies around. They were doing all these crazy jumps and laughing and looking to see which of them were watching them. It was funny! Every once in a while they would come layout by me too.

 Afterwards we cleaned up and went and picked everyone else up. We drove around Vegas and got some yummy food and desserts. Seth got about the same amount of stuff the next day from the expo too!

 Poor little Dordor! He felt better after throwing up, but it took through the to shake off the red eyes and sneezing.

 All our expo stuff! Seth won't need new shirts for years! He got 40something free shirts. We got tons of shaker cups, water bottles, proteins, and supplements.

 It doesn't matter where we are at- if there is a Giants game we are reppin! I think people in the gas station in Beaver that we stopped at thought we were nuts. I guess maybe a little. Seth was trying to pull the game up on his phone while driving. It didn't really work, which is probably a good thing.

 When we got home Doran wanted to eat my asparagus. I had to take a picture because what kid likes asparagus? Really?

 We had a pretty busy week after getting home. We had Brooksy's birthday and parent teacher conferences on Tuesday. Both the boys are doing so good in school! Doran talked Chinese with his teacher and it was so awesome! He already has learned so much!

 The boys had their last football games this week too. I am sad they are already over! It was so fun watching them play.

 Seth's favorite dessert place opened in American Fork! He has been so excited to go try it out. The boys really liked it too!

Play & Stay

 Friday at the boy's school there was a Play & Stay. I got to go and play with Doran at his recess and eat lunch with him. It was so much fun! He said it was the greatest day of his life, but he has many of those recently...

 He came running up when he came out and was so excited I was there. He showed me all the cool stuff on his playground and then we went and played soccer. While we were playing soccer one of his friends came over and joined us.

 Doran wanted a school lunch that day so we went in a got his lunch when it was time and then we ate outside. Next time I am going to bring him lunch for subway so we don't have to wait in the long lunch line.

 It was so much fun! I am glad he is still at the age where he isn't embarassed of his momma and loves me so much!

Kindergarteners didn't get to have a play and stay because they don't have lunch. Brock was just glad he didn't have homework!

 I thought this was the most precious picture of Brock ever. It is so hard to get him to really smile, but this picture is real. It shows how sweet he is!

Angelic!

He is a little cuddler. He likes to be right next to Seth or I at all times. I love it!

Yesterday the boys and I went to Trader Joe's. Doran thought it was the greatest place ever. They had lots of food he could get. He got pot stickers and noodles and made me make them right when we got home. He said they were delicious. I got cookie butter for myself and I am seriously regretting it. They are so delicious I don't know how I am going to survive without them now!

Sometimes dogs just want to cuddle... And lay on you... And not let you sleep... They sure are cute though.

Big Blue

 Brocky read his first ever book on Sunday! It took awhile because he is really just starting to put his sounds together, but we were so proud! He loves doing homework and learning. Doran has way more homework this year than he did last year. It has been a rough change for him, but he is trucking along!

 Last week the Giants game made me so mad! We would have killed the stupid Cowboys, but we kept turning over the ball. They were all Giants mistakes, not Cowboys forcing turnovers. It was a bummer! After Wilson turned the ball over for the second time I said we need to get Jacobs back! Well on Tuesday the Giants re-signed him! So now Seth can wear his Jacobs jersey again and Brock and Doran can wear theirs!

 This week Aunt Samantha was in Disneyland so my mom would pick Brock up at school and bring him to my work and we would hang out with me for a half an hour. He loved it. One day grandma didn't do their hair so they both wore hats to school which is against the rules. Brock said his teacher told him he can't wear a hat and he said to her, "but my grandma didn't do my hair!" I was laughing pretty hard about it. Doran's teachers let him wear his all day!

 The boys have been loving their football games. They each have one on a weeknight and one on Saturday. They both are awesome at it and have so much fun!

 At yesterdays game Brock had two touchdowns and pulled two flags! He passed the ball and it was a great pass, but his teammate didn't catch it.

 Doran had a huge touchdown too! He has gotten really good at blocking on the defense too!

 Here Doran passed the ball and it was a completion! His teammate almost had a touchdown!

 The other night something awesome happened! Doran and Brock asked me if I would read Harry Potter to them! I was so happy! I read the Hobbit to them last year, but they haven't asked me to read anything since.

 Brooks gave Doran these glasses as a very late birthday present, but he won't wear them. Brock took over them and he won't take them off. He thinks he looks awesome in them!

 Fact:

 Today the Giants play the Broncos. Brock loves Peyton Manning and I just couldn't bear the thought of Brock wearing a Peyton Manning jersey today. So Seth and I ordered them some Giants NFL rushzone shirts. They love the rushzone TV show so I knew these shirts would be a hit. Problem solved! Go Giants!
