Pumpkin Patch!

Jamin and Cole went to Maris Farms for Cole's preschool field trip, and had a great time! I will have Jamin post later on the key events of the trip! ;)

Fair and Snack Day!

After soccer last Saturday, we went to the Puyallup Fair. We must have picked "The Day" as everyone else thought that the fair was the place to be! It was pretty hot, but we did have a great time! Mr. Bug is still a peanut for most of the rides, which doesn't sit well with him! Jamin went on the only one he could go on! Cole was afraid of the Big Slide last year, but was ready to do it this year, and LOVED it! Next year both boys can ride together and little brother will have to sit back and watch.

You can't go to the fair without getting scones. Of course they did not disappoint! They are so good! We had a great family outing.


Snack Day!!
To a preschool child, nothing is cooler than your special snack day! This year we made cake pops, and of course anything with frosting is a crowd favorite. I try to tie in the schools themes. They are studying spheres and the color yellow. Hello! Cake Pops are both of those things! Cole and I had a great time making them together, and he is already looking forward to his next snack day!

Soccer!

Cole had a great time at his first day of soccer. We braved the rain and had a true soccer experience. Cole was a bit concerned that rain was going to cancel soccer, but after explaining that you play soccer no matter what, he was excited! Little Bug was eager to play, and now we have to look into little tike soccer. So it begins...running back and forth between all the activities. Just add another punkin and his stuff to the mix, and we will be a regular circus act.

We are busy!!!

Cole's First Day!

Cole had his first day of 4 year old preschool, and is so excited to be back!! He has some of his old friends in class, and is happy to make some new ones too. Jamin and I laughed at the orientation night of what they will be covering this year. We both laughed because we are paying for Cole to have a social life because he knows all of the curriculum mapped out for the year! Hey, being social is an important part too! Cole started reading in March, and the kid hasn't slowed down since. He is our child who LOVES to learn....must take after Jamin!

We are looking forward to another fun year, and watching our big boy get even bigger!!

Suncadia!!!

Another fun and eventful weekend up at Suncadia! We finally celebrated my mom's 50th, and had a great time with family. The boys golfed and we went to the pool, which let's be honest, it WAY more fun!! Caden absolutely loves being outside and is totally in his element up there. Cole pretty much thinks he owns the place, and is a pretty accurate tour guide. We will probably go up a few more times, but will miss the harvest festival due to the lil punkin coming in November. We love spending time up there!

Golf Weekend!

We went for the boys annual golf tournament up at Suncadia. This year Cole got to go around for a few holes, and had a great time! He tried to explain his fun time, by saying, "Mommy, It Was So Fun! I Went On 11 Courses!" Bug still does not have the patience to go along...he is like his mommy!
We are going back for my mom's birthday party, since her 50th was the week before Christmas, and a crazy time for everyone, we are celebrating when it is warm and more people have vacation!
I am continuing to get bigger and bigger, and I know I have to be better about taking pics! He is an active little guy!
The boys are doing very well! Cole is quite the little man, and makes us laugh with his vocabulary and maturity. Sometimes we remind him and ourselves that the kid is only 4!!! Bug is our comical little punkin, and has opened up his vocabulary! Believe it or not, the Bug has a lot to say! He is still into EVERYTHING and has quite the "tude" at times! He has to do everything HIMSELF!! I have two independent little tikes!
We are having a great time together, and are looking forward to our newest busy boy soon!!

July Fun: Baby Cooper and Ikaika's 1st!

We are loving these summer days, and are taking advantage of the sunshine! We recently realized we haven't been so great about taking pictures of Baby Cooper...oh the third baby! We promise to be better! He is growing, and is a mover too!

We had a BLAST at Ikaika's first birthday party! The boys loved the balloon and bubble man. It was a great time with friends, and I have two little monkeys that are going to sleep beautifully tonight!

I am LOVING staying home, and can really get used to this!
