We expect a Grammy nomination in the near future...

This is a song Caden learned in preschool and loves to sing all the time.

Spiderman

Last week I was sitting at the computer when I heard Blake yell, "MOM! LOOK!! You're gonna miss it!" I turn around and see my little spiderman has climbed up the wall. He was pretty proud of himself.
And, of course, when one brother is up to something, the other brother isn't far behind.
Just thought I'd throw in that we LOVE California weather!! It was mid 80's to low 90's last week.

The Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we went with some friends to the Pumpkin Patch. It wasn't quite as big as we all had expected, but the boys still had a ton of fun. The first thing we saw as we were walking in was the ducks. The boys quickly ran over to play with them. We told the boys we needed to continue on to the pumpkin patch and to wave goodbye to the ducks. When they waved, the ducks started flapping their wings too. Caden was sooooo excited! He ran over to us yelling, "MOOOOM, DDAAAAAD!! The ducks waved to me!" Those ducks made their day.

The next thing they saw was the bounce house which basically occupied them the rest of their time while we were there. Our friend caught a lot of really good pictures of them flying throught the air. These are just a few.
Feeling dizzy yet? When they weren't jumping in the bounce house, they were jumping off the hay to Scott. Are you noticing a theme? Crazy boys!

Well, that was our day at the pumpkin patch. The kids took a REALLY good nap that afternoon, and as soon as they woke up, they were begging to go back to the pumpkin patch. (So don't feel bad Kerri, they had a blast!)

Because I'm the Mom

The Big 40

We took the boys to Evelyn's Birthday Bash on Saturday. They enjoyed discovering new foods like gourmet cheeses and hummus, but the cupcakes were their food of choice.

Brett came out from Vegas for the party, so the boys got to spend some time with their uncle. Evelyn and Brett came over for a short visit on Sunday. Brett played lots of rough boy games with them including pretending to be tigers. Blake asked Brett, "Have you ever been bitten by a real tiger?" To which Brett answered no. Blake continued, "Oh..that's lucky!" We all got a kick out of that. Watch our for those tigers Brett!

The boys made sure to have Aunt Evelyn read them The Lorax. I see now why Scott always had Evelyn read that story to him when he was little, she is definitely an animated storyteller.

Boy on a Bike

Hey Everyone,

I have finally succumbed to the peer pressure of the blogger community. I know... I know...

Joking aside, Scott and I are the proud parents of ...... a BIKE-RIDER!



I'll admit, when Scott decided to take the training wheels off Caden's bike I was skeptical. I just figured Scott was...well... CRAZY!! -- and the training wheels would be back on in a week.

I stand corrected.

On lesson #2 (yesterday) Caden began riding the bike all by himself. Today he came home with his first bike wounds, I'm sure many more will follow.

This video is lesson #3.




Anyone notice the graceful dismount?
