Baby Brecken

Wednesday July 7, 2010 little Brecken was born. I got off work at 6 and headed to the hospital to see this little guy. He is just the sweetest little thing. Kristi looked great and Jeff looked like he was about to fall asleep the whole time. Kristi informed us that Brecken did a number in his diaper. I said ok I will change it. I took off the diaper and expected him to pee so I was ready for it with a wipe. He had pood a big one. When they are newborns there poo is like a black tar. So I am wiping the load of poo off his bumb and he just starts going even more. Oh my goodness, there was sooooo much poo all over. It just kept coming out and there was no diaper on him and he pee'd twice while I was changing him. Kristi thought it was pretty darn funny. It was gross.

How could this sweet little thing have SO much doodoo in him?

He looks so little in Rillz's arms

Gunnar just loves him. Gunnar tells everyone what to do with him

I took Friday off of work so I could take Gunnar all day. Rillz and I spent the night at his house. He was so excited for us to be there. Friday morning Gunnar and I took my mom to the Griddle for breakfast and then we headed to the hospital. Friday night Gunnar wanted to spend the night at our house. He was so exhausted but just didn't want to fall asleep. He was so great the whole time!

Happy birthday Gunnar!

A couple weekends ago little Gunnar had his 4th birthday party. Really? 4 already. Anyways, he wanted a scooby-doo party. So, of course Heidi and Ren made an awesome scooby cake. I am sure she will write about it on her blog but it took 3 attempts to make the cake. The first one she forgot to put eggs in the batter. The second one the whole cake stuck to the pan. The third one became scooby-doo. Haha. I am sure it wasn't fun but it had me laughing.

Gunnar's grandma Miller bought him a clown for his birthday. Such a cute idea. So, at his party he had this clown lady making all the kids (and adults) balloon thingys.

Happy birthday Gunnar! Opening gifts.

Balloon creation. Looks like Pink Panther riding a bike

The kids just loved her.

Playing with Gunnar!

So for the first couple of days that I didn't work I went to my moms for the weekend. She had a brain scan the day before and I think that wore her out because she was awake for probably 10 hours from Friday night to Sunday night. On Saturday after hula lessons I went to a graduation party to perform hula. It was fun like always.

Monday I woke up and Rillz and I made a makeshift fence in my backyard for when Gunnar was over. I went and picked up Gunnar from my moms house at 12:30. We headed off to lunch. He fell asleep right when he got into the car so I decided to drive to Boise before we ate. He wanted to eat at McDonalds. (which any fast food with a playground inside is McDonalds to him). So we really went to Carls Jr. After that we went to the store to buy dinner stuff, water guns, and chalk. We were going to have bbq chicken so I let him choose the chips and drinks and anything else. So we ended up with curly cheetohs, grapes, sprite in the individual bottles, veggie mix w/ ranch. We went to my house and Gunnar played and played and played with the dogs. (luckily my dogs are very patient and nice to kids cuz Gunnar isn't the softest player). When Rillz came home from work we ate dinner and set up a tent in my backyard. Rillz and Gunnar played with chalk and the water guns.



Gunnar flying on a skateboard in his pajamas. This kid was still crazy at 10:30 p.m.

Rillz and I around the campfire. My hair is crazy cuz I took a shower and didn't do anything with it.



Gunnar and Rillz relaxing. They made the fire. Gunnar brought all the wood out from the shop because he wanted to help Rillz. What a great little helper.

If you noticed, in an earlier post I talked about Malu always being over Simon, well I guess she does it with little kids too. I thought it was funny!

Happy camper

Us laying in bed when we woke up.


Gunnar sleeping. He slept at the bottom of the air mattress and didn't wake up 'til 8:30 when we put him in bed with us.

We went to breakfast at the Trolley House.
Gunnar and me eating breakfast.

Haha silly boys

After breakfast we went to the Train Depot. Gunnar LOVES trains. Rillz surprised me and Gunnar by just driving there.
Walking on the railroad tracks

At the train depot it is nicely landscaped and has this funky tree that you can kinda crawl around. Nice peace sign Gunnar! He is peace to the fifth power

I thought this picture was so cute! Brown guy with a very white boy.

After the Train Depot we went back to my house and ran with the dogs and played bubbles. These bubbles were at walmart for a dollar. I didn't think they would work so well but they make big awesome bubbles! Very impressed. And of course you can't see any bubbles in the picture... oh well.

Thanks Gunnar for spending a couple days with Aunt Mindy and Uncle Rillz. Oh yeah the next day Rillz kept asking... "whats Gunnar doing? Lets go get him and play with him." Just like a little kid. I guess Gunnar was asking if he could go to Aunt Mindys house the next day too. So funny!

Gunnars Birthday

Gunnars birthday was fun! Everytime you asked him about his birthday he always said "Thomas party". He wanted a Thomas the Train party really bad! So for his birthday I got him a Thomas DVD and Thomas tin lunch box. He was thrilled. Heidi and Ren made him an amazing Thomas cake. Their cake making is only getting better! There was also great food! Thanks Kristi and Jeff for a fun party!
How awesome is this cake! It is 3d.
Ren formed the nose and mouth for the face in the cake. Great job you two.

Sorry Kristi, you will never have a serious

picture with your husband. HaHa!

What a nice picture!

Here are the kids. So cute. They played in

the garden dirt most of the time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUNNAR!!!
