Cute stuff for Grandma

Some really cute kids!

Leapin' Lizards!

So at our new house there are all kinds of wildlife... birds (various varieties), wild turkeys roam the neighborhood, squrels hop from trees to wires, deer by the riverwalk, lots of neighborhood dogs and cats, geese fly by EARLY in the AM....well today the kiddos and Dad caught a Lizard....

The next day our cat killed the poor little lizard.

8 Months Already!!!

So our Sweet Little One is 8 months old! How fast that time flew bye. Some of the things he can do now in his own words.....

....Sit up and spit up.....Sleep all night (WOOOHOOO!! for my mom) ...Smile....Grab at everything!! learning to use a cup.(hey its harder than you think).... play with my toys and things that are not my toys...want to stand...smile...eat really well.. I even now eat what everyone else is eating, my cool mom just blends it up in a baby food grinder...Smile..I can suck my thumb and eat my toes (lets see you try that ;D)... and smile a lot...Yup! being a baby is Grand. Oh did I mention that I have cut 3 teeth! Oh yeah and I have really messy cute curls on top of my head...

So here are some cute pictures of our sweet Little one who is growing oh so fast.

Psst! It's me again! Aren't I cute! I have these long messy curls on the top of my head. My Daddy says cut em..My momma says No way! I'm with my momma..they get lot's of attention.

The "Little" Graduate

Now our sweet little Princess has "graduated" from Kindergarten. I really don't like calling moving from Kindergarten to 1st grade "Graduating" (and I'm a Kindergarten teacher). I think it should just be a "Celebration". Don't get me wrong, these little pumkins learn a lot and go through a lot to finish.. it is amazing what the state of CA expects a 5 year old to be able to learn and do injust 176 days of instruction. But she did it and she loved it. And now it is on to 1st grade!

Way to go Sweetie! Here is to many more years of School!

B-Town Trip

So we went to B-Town for my sister in laws graduation from Dental Hygene School. Of course I took no pictures of the graduation. We are very proud of her! It was a fun quick trip down to see our family. Baby A did good traveling and so did the other kids considering it is about a 5 hour drive. So enjoy the pictures I did take.

We visited with family. Went swimming. Had a BBQ and ate too much food. Went to the graduation and have an overall wonderful time. I even got to see my brother who I hadn't seen since February. We had a long, long drive home but all was well and we made good memories.

Baby A - First Foods

So Baby A has been eating "food" for almost a month and a half. Here are some cute shots of him first trying out some food. The kids think its funny to watch him eat. Especially if it is something he has never tasted. They also like to help feed him. He loves to eat and can now eat an entire jar of 2nd foods in one sitting. Our baby is growing!

Little Princess-Worm Digger

If you know Little Miss K she is all girl and princess. So I was surprised the other day before school when she ran in the house with this little guy in her hands. She was so excited! You go girl because no way does mommy like to dig for little critters.
