A LITTLE SHOW AND TELL AT PRESCHOOL

She has probably one of the coolest Barbie lunch boxes ever......and she wanted to show it off.

I am one lucky girl.....

and madly in love.

Oh, and Todd is pretty dreamy too.

JAISA'S 1ST DAY OF 2ND YEAR OF PRESCHOOL

Say that 10 times fast!

TYSON'S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL - 2ND GRADE

GOOD THING THEIR DAD IS A DENTIST....

**Teeth are compliments of one of the many many many trips to the local gas station/candy store we keep in business while visiting my parents**

YARD WORK...SHMARD WORK....

I have the best husband in the world! He offered to mow my parent's lawn.... I'm thinking this is why. All the kids got a turn. and I actually think that Todd enjoyed it. and so did my dad. He got to sit back and relax (while listening to all the kids cry and scream as they chased Todd down waiting for their turn and then cry some more when their turn was over)

Who knew yard work could be so fun?!?!

**anyone who knows my dad will get a kick out of this pictures. He is an L.A. surfer, city slicker who would have never ever been caught on a John Deer mowing tractor. And, now in his small town where they have a "vacation home", this is what he does. He and my mom even grow a lot of their own food- strange.**

VACATION RANDOMS......

a long lost McDonalds toy was found......

a stop at In-N-Out...

(we picked up some attitude - can you tell?)

camping with dad at Grandma and Grandpas house.... (Jaisa lasted 10 minutes) my boyfriend got even cuter...... and learned to sit up and crawl. Shawni took on the big slide at McDonalds....

Tyson insisted I take his picture too????? My mom got lots of girl time with "the girls".... and so did my dad :) and.....Jaisa learned that a belt was a good leash to control her pet pony.

MANY PICNICS AND BUBBLES IN THE PARK......

SKIPPING ROCKS WITH GRANDPA.......

Who would have thought a flooded street would be so much fun for these littles???

(that was a dumb question...anything with water is fun for these ones)

A neighbor's horse...

My little pony.......

HELPING IN MY PARENTS GARDEN.....

Look at the difference in only 4 weeks of growth..... the garden sprouted a baby bird...... he was lost......so we gave him a dropper of water...some bread...

and put him under a bush to recover from whatever was making him unable to fly.... within hours, he was gone - and so were my 7 year olds long finger nails -ew!
