Philadelphia

These guys really love each other.

Our new home.

If home is where the heart is then consider this my chest cavity.

DELAY

Sorry for the lag in posts. We found out last week that our landlord wishes to sell our house... so we have to move out. A new baby, 6 weddings in 6 weeks, Vali's back at work and 100 degree weather... PERFECT TIMING!!!!
So you know what we did? We became the freakin' Lords over our own Land! Boo Yah! We bought a house. I will put some pics up here for you all to see as soon as we get over there again. Thanks for being patient.

Watch out Martha Stewart....

Here is just a tasty sample of what I've been cooking up for us these past few days. I don't want to intimidate any of you other dads out there with limited culinary skillz... but seriously, this meal was delish. (There was honey added as a side entree/ garnish)

Stay at home Awesome

For those of you who were wondering... "what did the Nemetz boys do today?"

The River is empty again....

So we went to Costco. Every woman aged 30-60 either laughed at us or made a comment about me having my hands full. As if I wasn't aware of that. I should start responding by pointing out the obvious to them. "Oh yeah, my hands are full, and your hair is really frizzy. Have you considered switching conditioners?"

We didn't end up actually buying anything, but I'm still proud that we did it.

A River with Water!

We were SO excited today when we woke up and saw water in the river behind our house. Our kids are a bit confused now... they thought a river was a large flowing mass of sand and dirt... but hopefully they will understand someday that things in Bakersfield aren't always the way they should be.

My first day

While this doesn't sum up the day (it wasn't too bad) I thought this was pretty funny. I told Vali that when she got home I would make dinner so she could hang out with the kids for a while. So tonight I busted into one of our pre-made meals our friends so graciously made us. The cookies bag said the temp and time to cook these doggers at.... and I still managed to turn the cookies into a bunch of turds. Sorry to whoever made these delicious cookies for us. 

Oh Dang

6 weeks is up. Vali has gone back to work. Pray for me.

Mazel Tav!

For those of you that don't know... the things on the boys heads are breast pads. They are used by breast feeding mothers to combat leakage. Our boys think they are hats though and rush to put those little yamikas every time Vali feeds Oliver. So... mazel tav!

Did that happen Lasterday?

I've heard a lot of people's reasons for having kids, but I'm pretty sure we have kids to make ourselves feel good. I have these three little guys... two of them know how to talk... and I know that they represent half of me. So when they say things like "Poscible" instead of popsicle... or "lasterday" instead of yesterday, I laugh and think to myself "man I must be pretty funny and cute!"

No Milo... you don't have to be a Superman.

First off I have to say let's all give it up to Vali for the amazing videography skillz in this video. Yeah baby! I know I should be nice... I mean after all I am a professional and shouldn't hold her to the same standards, but seriously, come on. 

Second, I would like to say how proud I am of my son refusing to take part in this horrible church tradition of sticking our kids on stage and making them sing a song about not being super. I think he's super... and I'm pretty sure Jesus thinks he's super too. As a side note I am also proud that he convinced his girlfriend to take part in the anarchy as well. 

ENJOY!

The DUGGARs...

So there's this show on TLC where this family (the Duggars) have had a kid every year for 18 years. The best part is the show is called 18 kids and counting... cause this lady is always pregnant. I don't think Jim Bob (the dad) even lets Michelle (the mom) get out of the hospital without impregnating her again. We are starting to freak out that people think that we are the next Duggars. We're not. We will be taking some drastic measures to end this continuously flowing river of children. Otherwise, I'll have to get a wide angle lens or something to keep this little tradition up. 

Yes, their ages are currently 2, 1, and 0. 

What the heck are we going to do this summer?

I've started asking people for creative ideas of what the heck to do with the boys this summer. With three little guys I'm pretty much doomed to house arrest when Vali goes back to work. So, I ask Vali's uncle the other day what they did with their three little boys during the Bako summers... "I think they just played in the dirt" was his reply. "So, for 3 or 4 months you just stuck them outside in the dirt?" I asked not believing the simplicity of his answer. "Yeah" he replied. "So was there any shade or anything?" I asked trying to get more details. "No... kids are more resistant to the heat than we are."

So, with Uncle Greg as my inspiration, I took the kids down to Toys R' Us and we bought some tractors. Turns out he might be right... they spent an hour and a half out there today playing in the dirt. Lucky for them, we have some shade. 

And Oliver did what Oliver does best... he kicked it in his car seat.

Oliver's Hair cut

So here are some pictures of Oliver's haircut. Also, I am thinking of doing a daily blog about life as a stay at home dad with 3 boys.... My only concern: nobody's actually checking blogs anymore.
So let me know if anyone out there is still in the Blog Oh Sphere.
If I do this, I will include stories such as the one that happened today... Milo and Calvin filled our fish bowl with Play Dough. I barely saved our fish's (Dorthy a male Beta) life.
PEACE,
Curtis
