One of our new family photos!

Gettin' some shut-eye!

I cut out nap time simply because they were going to bed AFTER Craig and I. So now, they just fall asleep anywhere and everywhere. Even while laying on Craigs lap watching golf.

Is it a sign........or just a sandwich?

Jackson has been wanting/asking for a dog for a while now. The other day he was eating a sandwich and started laughing and told me that this must be a true sign that we will eventually be getting a dog. I told him he could have all the dog shaped sandwiches he wanted. We will have to work on the other kind!

Some great friends invited us to hang out for National Night Out this year and were kind enough to share their wheels! This actually gives me quite a stomach ache. I am sure that they won't be wearing those helmets when they start to drive, but almost positive the smiles will still be there!

Fairytale Town!

Griffen, Avary and I went to Fairytale Town with some moms that I have met through Bunco who just so happen to have kids the same (ish) age! It was a lot of fun just a little HOT!

Where's Griffen? Where's the toilet?

So, it has begun. Potty training! We have just been setting the little toilet out and letting them get used to sitting on it so it isn't that 'scary'. We are very spoiled because when we trained Jackson it took less than 12 hours. He was great and learned quickly. I think we are going to be in pretty good shape with these two though because of how competitive they have become. I am sure that is my fault though cause that's usually the only way I get them to do things around the house, "Who can clean up the fastest? Who can eat all their dinner? and now Who is going to go pee pee in the potty?" Hey, whatever works, right? Anyway, tonight we had success! Avary did it first and was sooo excited with herself!! About a half hour later the toilet and Griffen were missing.....Avary quickly let me know where he was. He was sitting behind a chair on the toilet that he had carried into the other room and guess what? HE PEED!!!!! Now they are walking around the house saying, "Oh, Avary Grace, I so proud of you!" "Oh Griffey, I so proud of you!" Lets just hope it they succeed tomorrow and the days to follow.

First day of 3rd Grade! I can't believe it :(

Well, today was the day. 3rd grade has begun. Jackson was excited to see his buddies, but that was it! He said it went well and he made a couple of new friends! Only 2 of his classmates from last year are in this years class, and the rest are all new friends to be made! I know he will do great!

Race Car Driving......

Jackson was given a gift certificate to a place called RPM here in Sacramento where you go and take a class to learn how to drive a race car and then you get to do just that! He loved it (of course) and did great! After just a few laps he was OFF!!!!!! It was great to see him have so much fun. Thanks Pa!

Oh, the things they say....

Griffen, "Mom, what that?" Shelby, "An air conditioner." Griffen, "Oh, I can't say that, my mouth to small. I need a bigger head."
