We Survived!

While Rob is in San Francisco for work, I decided to take on the monumental task of driving all the way to Lake Tahoe with the kids. We made it! It took about 10 hours, lots of DVDs, buckets of snacks, several surprises and one chicken nugget happy meal. It was worth it! More stories to tell as the days to come.

Super Heroes

Lauren is taking after her brother in the superhero department.

Stylist Needed

Jack picked his outfit today. By himself. While I was at the gym. The nicest thing I can say is that his socks and vest both had green on them. This is a work in progress.

Batmen

Rob and I got to check out the new movie today...awesome! But my boys both wore their bat shirts. Jack is a real chip off the old block.

Hair Conditioner

Lauren loves to put food in her hair. Seriously, I could take a picture at the end of every meal. The other day, oatmeal for breakfast, we put a hat on her while she ate. Did. Not. Work. Frankly, Mommy is getting a little tired of bath night EVERY night. Rob suggested a swim cap :-). Might be worth trying!

Froot Loop Necklace

I love when I can teach without "teaching". This weekend Jack got to make a Froot Loop necklace. It involved color identification, counting objects to 10, and fine motor skills to put those little loops on the yarn. Mommies can be pretty sneaky sometimes ;-)

Under the Sea

Rob has lovely décolletage in this photo. Enough said.

TV Poses

Lauren continues to crack us up with the positions she gets into for watching TV. Usually on her tummy, propped up on her elbows. Today she was flat on her back right in front of the TV. That little girl has mastered the art of relaxation.

Congrats Aunt Terry

Aunt Terry ran off and eloped in Hawaii! Good for her! I know what it's like, when you find the man of your dreams you've gotta just run to the beach and marry him! We went down to San Pedro this weekend for a lovely family party celebrating their marriage. It was nice to see so many family members again after SO MANY years. Fun with cousins, lots of dancing, and cake. Yummy cake with delicious frosting. Did I mention that Lauren loved the cake?

Summer Homeschool

Jack and Lauren are enrolled in Mommy Summer Homeschool. Jack was working on the letter A and some mazes. Lauren was coloring her princesses. Jack has one year until kindergarten, but I think the baby might be ready next month! She is so verbal, she already counts to three and "sings" abc with her brother. Maybe we will do PE at the pool later! This is a pretty fun summer school ;-)

Park Pro

You've got to imagine that Jack is a seasoned professional when it comes to slides, swings and all things park. But Lauren? Yes Sir! We had a wonderful play date with the Broberg "triplets" today, and Lauren was not to be out done. She kept up with all those big boys, including her brother. In fact, the slide she went on face first! Somebody get Mommy a Valium.

Fireworks and Fun

Today was a fun family day together. Picnic dinner at the college and then the fireworks show. Both kids loved the fireworks!

Beach Day

Lunch and playtime at the beach today! Along with our friend Amy, we hit the beach for the first time this summer. It wasn't crowded and the weather was perfect. Only thing missing was Daddy.
