Summer lovin...

Last year I was pretty much dreading Summer. I mean, I had experienced the wonder that is free daycare public school, and I was totally loving my down time during the day. I didn't know what the heck I was supposed to do with 3 kids home all day. Raise them? I was terrified!!

Right now, I'm actually excited for Summer. This could be the delirium setting in because it's 2 in the morning and I can't friggin SLEEP! But the thought of a Cali Summer full of late nights, lake trips, watermelon, road trips, slip-n-slides, and flip flops sounds pretty dang good!

I'm ready for it. I've stocked up on otter pops and sunscreen, and I've got enough beach toys to supply the whole neighborhood. Let the Summer games begin freaks!

Here's what I'm most looking forward to....

1. I don't have to be up at the buttcrack of dawn shoving cereal down The Dude's mouth and dropping him off at school in my house robe and bed head.

2. I can pelt the kids with water balloons as hard as I want and they think its FUN! SUCKERS! Talk about a stress reliever.

3. I can toss some bubbles in the kiddie pool and count it as a bath....right? two birds, one stone.

4. We bbq all Summer long which mean The Hubs cooks since I can't even start the grill! And I don't plan on learning how any time soon! Score.

5. The kids wear just bathing suits ALL summer long which means way less laundry for me.

6. Popsicles are totally an acceptable meal.

{Nom nom nom...}


See? Sounds pretty friggin glorious to me. I guess there is a flip side to it...like the fact that it gets insanely hot and I get swoob (sweaty boob). Or the fact that I actually have to shave. Boooo. But all in all I've got high hopes for Summer 2010...20 days til the school doors close...let the insanity begin!!

Happy Friday Folks!!

Swimming is over rated...

Well, its over rated according to Boogie. Last week the boys started swim lessons. I couldn't wait to get them in the water! It's another one of those parenting milestones that I couldn't wait to check off the list. We'd already done a school play, we'd already lost a first tooth, and we'd already had our first fist fight....it was time to throw on some frigging floaties and get down to business!!

Mason couldn't wait to get into the water. He was so excited I thought he was going to pee himself. And he did, in the pool...he told his entire class. As for Boogie...well...he's not so much a fish in the water as he is a CAT in the water. This is how he spent his ONE and ONLY swim class....


Like a terrified kitty up in a tree. It broke my heart that he was so scared, but at the same time I couldn't help but laugh at this picture. He was NOT going in that water and there was no talking him into it. Trust me, I tried. I sweet talked, I bribed, I threatened, I begged. Nothing. Zip. Nada.

So with one class under his belt Boogie has officially 'thrown in the towel'. HA!! Get it?! The towel?! Swim...yeah..anyway. But, at least I get to check it off my list. And Mason still gets to pee in the pool, so it's pretty much a win-win.

pee ess- don't forget to enter the giveaway!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

They are my world...my meaning...my happiness...my love...my inspiration...my heart...my pride..my everything.

I can't think of a better way to spend the day than hugging them tight, hearing their laughs, and seeing them smile. That's the best gift I could ask for on this Mother's Day....



I'm not sure what I did to deserve such an amazing family with children so incredibly perfect and a husband so absolutely amazing, but I'm so thankful my Heavenly Father found me deserving and blessed me with such a gift.

I hope you all have a wonderful day celebrating the women in your lives!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

I'm back...with a little pick me up!

I'm in major need of a little pick me up today. So far this week has sucked monkey butt, but that's all about to change folks because I've found a few things to bring a smile to my face....and you're so lucky because I've decided to share them with you! Thank me later...

Can I please just express to you how FRIGGIN AMAZING these things are?!?! If I had these growing up I would have eaten corn all day long. Truth! Did anyone else picture a poopy diaper filled with corn when I said that? Just me? Right....Back to my point. THESE ARE RADICAL!

{A uniCORN for your corn! HA!}



For all of you Star Wars and BACON fans.....I present....

The bacon AT-AT...

{No galaxy or artery is safe with this thing on the loose. Blech.}



This is some straight Magnum PI badness right here. Friggin drive it like I stole it!I need one... my street cred depends on it.

{I see your gangster, I'm pretty gangster myself.}


But this one takes the proverbial cake my friends....the dual toilet...do you see the heavens parting? Can you hear the angels singing?! GLOOORIOUS! Just imagine the quality time you and your significant other can have.
{Be still my heart...you will be mine...}


One more thing that makes me happy, this lady right here. She's my virtual mama and she's pretty much amazing. It runs in our virtual family. She's started an awesome new recipe swap called Share a Spoon, and she makes the most deeeelish food! Go on over and check it out!!

Think Tank Momma

Ahhh...see. Feeling better already. Happy Thursday amigos....I'll be back tomorrow with some free swag for you. Because I love you...and I miss you...like the deserts miss the rain.

Fiesta Time Amigos!!

This weekend was LOOOONG, but man was it fun! Saturday we hosted a baby shower AND an early Cinco De Mayo fiesta...it was pure chaos at the Casa de Cline, but holy carne asada batman, we had ourselves a good time. Good food, good friends, and ice cold Jarritos makes for one heck of a fiesta! And of course my camera died an hour into the festivities, but I managed to scramble together a few photos...

{The dude running the poncho like its nobody's business}

{Drinky drinky...non alcoholic for this gal}

{Boogie showing that pinata who's boss}

{Anybody fancy a bounce?}

{The most random shot of the amigos ever}

{Las muchachas!}

{Bestie time with my boo}

{The one and only Dizzle. No explanation needed.}

{Senor Ryder..so dang cute it makes my uterus hurt!}

{Mi esposo es muy caliente! Ay papi!}

{Senorita Berkeley...say it with me, awwww!}

{I LOVE YOU CHURRO JORDAN!}

{My Mami...isn't she adorable!?}

{Boogie spittin' game at the ladies...}


{Sending out the vibe....}

{Cinco De Mayo 2010...Ole.}

Cinco De Mayo 2010 was a major success at the Casa de Cline. The Little Miss is the only one who missed out because she SLEPT through the ENTIRE party! That's right. But she woke up at 3 AM bright eyed and busy tailed ready for the day...joy. As far as Sunday goes, well...lets just say that eating 4 churros wasn't the best idea, but man, did they taste good.

Hope you all had a great weekend!
