Remember how I used to carry my big enormous camera around with me everywhere and carefully document our lives in lovely high-pixel photographs?
Well, lately...
Aint Nobody Got Time For That.
So instead, I now get to recap our April with my phone pictures.
Yes. I have now become that girl.
April started out with several bi-polar moments from Cameron. That kid goes from happy to sad in 1.3 seconds. Sometimes he'll laugh and cry at the same time and no one knows exactly how to react to the situation.
If you laugh at a baby that's crying, you're mean.
If you feel sad for a baby that's laughing, you're weird.
It's a no-win.


April 3rd (my 29th birthday), we headed to a restaurant where we were greeted with an enormous, free, delicious-looking birthday dessert. Cameron, however, refused to share the only spoon and by the time we could flag down the waiter, it was mostly gone.
Nice for him. Sad for us.
Also on my birthday, Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble" came on during my carpool time.Ah. maze. ing.

Left: Luke had a hard time peeling the potato because it was smiling at him.
Right: Aubrey's recycling robot for her school project. We named him OPTIC.
Left: The kids are in insect heaven lately. (One kid's heaven is another mom's hell...). Cameron especially loves ladybugs. Here we go again.
Right: Aubrey's second school award in 3 months. Academic Achiever. Booya. (P.S. See her robot in the background?) Double Booya.

Rusty Max Webb joined the family. (More on this saga coming soon...)
We had our end-of-the-year diving/swimming banquet and I got to brag about all my divers this year and try to not bawl my eyes out saying good-bye to my Seniors. The darling scrapbook they made me didn't help my cause.

Cameron was pushed down the hill at soccer practice by a random stranger. Again and again. And again.

Trash day is the highlight of his week. We have 3 trashcans, so it's triple the excitement. Plus, all 3 trashmen wave and honk. Thrilling, I tell you.
Aubrey spends the majority of her day upside down. Like mother, like daughter I guess.
I'm totally cool with it.
While waiting for the Disneyland Parade to start, some kids started doing handstands and cartwheels in the middle of the parade street. Naturally, Aubrey was all over that and joined in the fun. Then, while I wasn't looking, Cameron waddled out into the middle of the street with all the other 10 year-olds, put his hands down and kicked up into a handstand.
The entire Disneyland Street went wild. Asians were taking pictures, Moms were clapping, Dads were pointing, and kids were cheering.
Seriously. That's what happened.

Then it got hotter than heck and we set up a slip-n-slide in the front yard and people drove by and stared and a lizard got lost in my garage. Good times.

During another ill-fated Disneyland attempt, we somehow ended up at IKEA instead.
Luke suggested. I didn't ask twice.
Left: We were late for church. Shocker.
Right: Sunday afternoon at the duck pond.
Shopping trip ALL day with 4 of the coolest girls ever = possibly the best day of my life.
Shopping trip (to the mall with the train) the next day to return some of the stuff that I shouldn't have bought = possibly the best day of Cameron's life.
