So I really need to start posting some of the funny things the kids say. After all, we all know how bad my memory is, and this may be my only way of remembering things when they get older! Anyway, our little Zain says silly things that make us all laugh daily. He is such a goof ball and from what I hear at school he is already the class clown and loves to make the girls laugh.....great!?! He must be following in his daddy's footsteps. So here is how my conversation with Zain went the other night...
Me: So I just wanted to let you know that Grammy is watching you on Saturday and you are both spending the night at her house.
Zain: Where are you going mommy?
Me: Mommy is going to out with a friend from out of town.
Zain: I wanna go.
Me: Sorry baby, mommy is going to dinner with only adults and it will be too late for you.
Zain: Ohhhh, I know why (some hesitation)....you're going to a bar!

Big Bear!
Last weekend we spent some time up in Big Bear with family! It was a much needed trip for us all and we couldn't get there quick enough...literally!
The night before we had planned to head up the mountain our car broke down. It had just gotten out the shop for it's 60K check-up when Nick decided to drive it down to LA for a Lakers game. Lucky guy...4th row Lakers game tickets then Big Bear for 2 days of snowboarding!! Anyway, he wasn't so lucky when the car started smoking from the engine and leaking profusely. He had to have it towed 61 miles from LA only to find out the car shop forgot to hook up the coolant hose completely!!
Finally, 4 hours late on Friday morning with some eager kids we were headed up to Big Bear. Needless to say our first stop when we got there was not the cabin...it was a much needed drink and lunch.
We spent the rest of our days inner-tubing, eating, snowboarding, relaxing and eating some more. The kids tried snowboarding for their first time as they spent the day in lessons on Sunday. The lessons were pretty trying initially, but by the end of day they were cruising down the bunny slopes. It was the cutest, funniest and proudest moment to see them fly down those bunny slopes, crash and burn and then do it all over again!!
We all had a blast and thanks mom for a great trip! Can't wait to do it again!

Skatin'
Nick actually had the night off tonight (for everyone counting, yes, that is 2 whole nights in a row...amazing)! Anyway, we took full advantage of it. After stuffing our faces with a great BBQ dinner, we decided to work it off and take the kids rollerskating. We have never gone rollerskating as a family. Masyn has been a hand full of times with Kids Club (her after school program), Zain has never been, Nick used to be professional back in the day and I grew up roller-blading, not rollerskating (yes, I WAS that roller-blading dork)! The last time I went rollerskating was with Nick abo
ut 5-6 years ago in Colorado...he was so good that I decided to pout and trade in my skates for blades just so that I could attempt to keep up with him.Anyway, tonight we had a blast! There was no trading in my skates (I tried, they don't do roller-blade rentals at the place we went), instead we stayed together as family.
Masyn was on her butt the entire time, then she would stand up and laugh at herself and then fall to her butt again. Zain was like gum stuck to the bottom of a chair, except he was glued to the wall! When Nick wasn't holding one of the kids hands (which was very rare) he managed to show of some of his old-school tricks! I stayed back with the kids a lot and just went a long at a my own pace...which, I have to admit was not to shabby!!Take a peek at our silly, fun-loving, full of laughter and exhausting night...
