Events from July...there's a lot!

Kaden turns 5 years old and had an Awesome Birthday Party... Our trip to Lake Tahoe...with no kids. :)

Kaden Rides Bike without training wheels, Yeah Kaden! Good job.

Kade is off to Kindergarten!

Kaden graduated the Headstart preschool program! We are so proud of him. He is now a BIG boy off to real school. He would love to show you how big he is too. He often says " Mom look how big I am now " and he will take his finger all the way from his toes all the way to the top of his head. It is quite hilarious and of course I say " Yes, kaden I see how much you've grown, you are so Big" and he nods yes with a big smile on his face.

He may be happy he is getting bigger but we'll see how he does when he actually starts his first day of Kindergarten...he might just want to shrink a little bit to stay home with mommy. I of course have mixed emotions. I would love for him to stay my little boy but at the same time I as soooo looking forward to just a tiny bit more ME time. I still have 2 more to go but atleast I have 2 in school, so I am 50% there. I love my little man...maybe I never had any more boys because I couldn't get more perfect than him. Love you Bud.

Our families fun fourth!

On the 4th we went down to Ontario for the fourth of July parade. This has been a family tradition since Louis was little. We hadn't been there in many years so we really enjoyed going again. The kids had lots of fun and enjoyed eating Ice creams while watching the parade, they were anxious to do fire works that evening so they always asked when we were leaving to do fireworks. They definitely don't have any concept of time at all.

After the show we went to one of our fav places to eat (Wahoo's Fish Tacos) and enjoyed it very much. We then had a BBQ and spent time with family and the kids got to watch dad do the fireworks and they enjoyed their yearly sparklers. It was an awesome 4th, it couldn't have been better!

Savannah lost another

Another tooth that is. This is her third tooth, she lost her 2 bottom teeth at the end of last year and now one of her front teeth just fell out. Her other front tooth is very loose so she is excited that the tooth fairy will be coming again soon. She had a mouth full of blood on this last one that fell out, but she didn't cry a bit. She was and still is so proud to show everyone that her tooth fell out. Her smile cracks me up...it was definitely hard to get used to. Her Jack-O-Lantern mouth is ready for halloween, by then the other front tooth will be gone. She's so cute! I love her so much.

River Trip

A couple months ago we went to the river with my mom, step dad and my sisters family. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed a little R & R, well atleast as much as possible with kids talking to the ends of the night, one sleep walking and some crying and making bottles...it was great, really! Our kids have so much fun together, they love eachother so much and I will do whatever it takes to have my kids enjoy memories with there cousins and strong lasting relationships. These pictures are priceless.

Outside shower, they were washing off and having a great time.
