I love the weekends

 We had the laziest weekend ever and it was glorious!  The past few weeks/month have been so crazy busy I literally could not bring myself to do anything this weekend.  We just hung around the house, played, decorated and had fun!  I was in the picture taking mood so I took a ton of pics as always :)

Thursday was gymnastics.  I know technically Thursday is not yet the weekend but I start thinking about them on Monday...

Emmy LOVES gymnastics!  I am tired just watching her.  Oh and after running around after Ryan for an hour, trying to keep him out of trouble.

 This week I took him over to kid ventures next door so he could play for a while.  We haven't been there in years and I think I took Emmy for the first time around his age :)

Crazy strong!

He is obsessed with books these days.

 Friday night we had some friends over for pizza.  Literally pizza and paper plates.  We should probably step up the dinners one of these days....

Sophia was so cute hanging with the big girls :)

 Ahhh finally the weekend...

 He presses the buttons with his belly.

Decorating pumpkins, no knives needed :)

My attempt at getting a cute picture of the two of them

Dinner at our house is crazy and fun!  These kids refuse to eat mac and cheese but gobble up salmon, stir fried veggies and wild rice.  I am still shocked every time.  Tonight Josh, Emmy and Ryan started a rock band.

Looks like everyone is as tired as me.

Look what we got for the backyard!

Open House

Tonight was open house at Emmy and Ryan's school.  It is always a zoo!  Emmy's little junior kindergarten class did a performance.  They sang you are my sunshine and the itsy bitsy spider in Spanish.  And there was Emmy front and center smiling and singing away.  Then we had to stay and watch all the rest of her friends in the other classes. She just continues to amaze me every day.

No performance from Ryan this year.  He just loves waving at and giving all the Baldwin ladies hugs!

Night Getaway

Marc has been living it up in Palm Springs working for the past week so we decided to take a trip to visit him!  The weather was perfect and although we only got to see Marc for a little while, it was great to see him and was totally worth the trip.  As always we had a blast!  The kids destroyed his room in about 3 minutes and we realized quickly that staying in a hotel room with a 4 year old and 14 month old who does not like to sleep is just a bit of a challenge, especially when you forgot the stroller....

Room service for lunch!

The pool outside of our room that I chased Ryan around for hours...

Emmy was doing great swimming!  She was diving down to the bottom, doing somersaults and breathing like a pro!  I would have taken more pictures of her if I wasn't chasing Ryan around the pool, see comment above.

There is always someone on Ryan duty... :)

What fun is a hotel room if you aren't able to destroy it?!

CHEESE!

Caught red handed

Ryan was obsessed with the fountains and rivers and trying to climb through the bars.

Fortunately, only his shoe fell in right after I took this picture, not him!
