Our ritual every Tuesday , as every one knows, is going to GG's house for lunch. Well today was just the same as always, kids screaming, crying and fighting. (what else is new). Anywayz none of the kids wanted to leave for some reason today, so this is the result when us moms were reading to leave!!!
i just want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the best brother out there!!!! He is always doing stuff for us and helping us in every way. Thank you so much for being the best and the greatest brother ever. He is the best dad and brother that anyone can have. Hope you have an awesome day!!!
The Lepak crew-minus mom she was not lookin to well!!
Ok the real facts on Sydnee are as follows- Born at 7:47 am, 6 lbs. 15 oz. and 19 in. long. I went to see her and she is so adorable. Cassi and i were kind of having a photo shoot with her. Unfortunately here mom would not let us change her clothes. (maybe tomorrow). Mom and baby are doing great. Tracy is just sore and tired.(her pain medication was wearing off when we arrived!!) Sydnee has tons of light colored hair and really long toes. (and for the record she looks nothing like her big sister, whom looks like her daddy and Sydnee looks just like Tracy.) Anywayz here are some pics.
Mad because we have to leave

Monday night we celebrated my grandmas birthday. We went to the park and had cake and ice cream. The kids had a blast playing on the slides and just being able to run free. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY and we love you so much!!
my sisters , Tracy, baby has arrived. she was born at 7:45 am and weighed in at 7 lbs. here is a pic of her. more updates to come on Tracy's blog. Also this is my mom and her husband Kevin waiting to go into the delivery room. (She had to have C-section.)
Ryland is taking refresher courses from ISR Swim again this year. Ryland and Madisen took the class for the first time last year. Although they may have not loved it last year they learned alot. So this year they are taking a refresher course and after the first week , they are doing pretty good. Hopefully this time will only last 2 weeks as the first time it was 5 weeks for them to learn everything. Here are some pics. Ryland cries during his time, but not as bad as last year!!!
Yesterday(Thurs) we went to Bounce U with Rylands preschool. We went last Thursday and the kids had so much fun , that there preschool teacher decided to take everyone back. So all 7 of the kids loaded up and we headed down there. They have a boxing ring, obstacle course. a mini slide and a really big slide that goes really fast. The big slide is where the kids want to be the entire time. Bounce U has preschool days, so no kids older than 7 can go and it lasts for 2 hours, 9:30 to 11:30. They also give the kids snack and juice halfway thru the time. It is a great way to waste some energy. The best part of the whole thing is that the parents can sit back and relax. There is a worker who helps the kids out if needed. well that is what is suppose to happen , but we are usually on top of the kids when they need help. , because when a strange man comes towards your kid , they usually freak out more than they already are!!! If you are thinking about going, one word of advice YOU HAVE TO WEAR SOCKS IN THE BOUNCER!! WE were not informed of that the first time and had to buy socks there. they are somewhere around $3.00. But Bounce U is a great way to get out of the house and let the kids run around!
After the basketball game, we headed over to my sisters house to hang out. The kids were suppose to go swimming but it was way too cold. So they just played. The kids loved it when kevin would swing them on his feet!!!

No BOYS ALLOWED
Say CHEESE
Saturday morning i went to my nieces basketball game. They played really well and only lost by 1 point! Londyn, Ryland , and Madi just wanted to play on the bleachers. (Whats new). Anyways here are a couple pics of everyone. Brittany is # 49 in the orange jersies.
On our way home from Sacramento we stopped in Long Beach , do that Roy could go to the Xango convention being held there. We got there Friday afternoon and left Saturday night at 10 pm. It was a quick stop. So Friday we walked around the shops, took a bike ride and had dinner with a bunch of people from Xango. Then Saturday Roy had convention from 9 to 5 and then from 6:30 to 9:30.(why we did not leave until 10 pm). Ryland and I went shop hunting in the morning, trying to find little shops along the beach to look at. Well i guess Long Beach is not that kind of place. It is more of a business vacation place than anything. So Then we met up with Roy for lunch. After that we headed to the Aquarium of the Pacific. (a Mini sea world). Not exactly my favorite place, but it kept us occupied until Roy was done at 5. We then met Roy for dinner at BUBBA GUMPS. Great food. I then attempted to take Ryland to the last Xango convention, because i wanted to here the speakers that were speaking. Well he lasted about one hour and then we fond other moms in the lobby to sit and chat with for the next 2 hours. We then proceeded home about a 5 hour drive. We arrived home about 3 am after dealing with Ryland throwing up all over in the back of the car and seeing 6 accidents on the way home and witnessing one of them. So there was no way we were going to fall asleep on the drive home. Anyways, that completes our trip to California, and let me say I AM GLAD TO BE HOME!!! no more vacations until the baby is born when we go to North Carolina in July.
