I LOVE CHOCOLATE!!

Before we get to the important chocolate part. Here are some pictures of the boys holding Ben - he is their favorite baby. The whole neighborhood is in love with Ben. The girls have made me promise I will tell them the next time Ben is visiting.


Now back to the business of chocolate. Love is probably not a strong enough word to describe how I feel about chocolate. I wish I liked things like jewelry instead (diamonds can't make you fat - just broke). For Mother's Day and my birthday Khuong got me some chocolate!! For my birthday he sent me on a scavenger hunt. I started in our room with the clue on the paper heart in the chocolate heart. The clue was as follows:
Mommy, come play with me
Where I like to pass away time
Swimming in the open sea
I'll be waiting for you

I of course made my way to the tub - Pence is a bath man. He especially loves to swim with his goggles on in the tub. This is what I found in the tub, with the next clue.
Mommy, come play with me
Where I like to pass away time
Feeding my pets
I'll be waiting for you

The computer was my next destination - Jacob has a pet Cheetah on webkins.com. (You may think I am mean, but I tried out a fish once. The boys fed it crystal light which ended with me accidentally pouring the fish down the drain) Therefore the computer was where I found this and my next clue.
Honey, come play with me
Where I like to pass away time
Doing inspired projects
I'll be waiting for you

The garage is the place for projects!! The last clue was:
Within our hearts
We bear a gift
For you to share
With those you care


This lead me back to my room and the original chocolate kiss heart - in the center under the covers was this awesome magic bullet!!! I had mentioned that I wanted one like 3 months ago - and the man got me one. (Khuong thought he was very clever because he only had to change one line for each of the first 3 clues)

Feliz Cinco de Mayo!!!

Well Darin - this crazy lady wanted to have a Cinco de Mayo party (she is the one in the green shirt in the pic above - look close she is skinny enough to be missed). I am all for parties if there is food. I got to have it at my house because the yard is large, but Darin did all the work. She made homemade tortillas, marinated all the chicken, made some kickin guacamole, and brought the pinata!! Julie made her fabulous salsa and beans to make it a true festival. I am sure you are wondering where all the mexicans are - well if truth be told the little asian kids are the closest thing you will find to a mexican there (besides me). I am sure you are wondering who this cool super hero was at our party - it is amazing what some styrofoam cups can do for your image.




Here is the bouncer Hang (K's sister) bought for us a long time ago. The kids have been bugging us to pull it out forever - I thought this warrented the work. It is only suppose to hold 2 at a time - I guess the kids didn't read that part. Can you see the static?



There of course was a pinata - Spencer cried when Dave (the pinata controller) moved it out of his bats way. Way to go Dave!!


Here was K at the end playing dandilion war with the kids. He keeps forgetting how much work it is to spray those dang dandelions. Oh he didn't spray them, I did - that is why he continues to encourage seed spreading.



This next picture is one of David - can you tell he is one of my favorite boys ever. What can I say - he wants to go home with me after the gym and even holds my hand to the car.



Here are the many faces of Becca - her favorite face to show me is the tongue one. I told her I wouldn't take anymore pictures of her if she kept sticking it out and she promptly quit it. This is a cute lady.
