First day of preschool!

I can't believe this day has already come, but Conner went to his first morning of preschool today and it seems like he had a lot of fun and did real well. He's such a brave little soul! We're so proud of you, Conner!

Hanging up his backpack...

Happy birthday Mom!

Happy birthday to a most wonderful Mom! We are so lucky to have the world's greatest and most wonderful Mom! Wishing you the happiest year ahead in every way!

Much, much love, hugs and thanks to you for all you always do for us!

More kite festival pix

So I found the pix from my camera that I had been wanting to post (the other post was pix from my phone). I think you can see better from these pictures the actual size of the kites.

No festival is complete without a train ride...this one we waited for  more than a half hour for (which is long for two little, little, overanxious boys)... ;)

...and we're always on it. 

My baby is two!

Happy birthday to my fun-loving, adventurous, crazy, wild, melt-you-with-a-smile boy! You've been a joy to be the parents of and we look forward to another fun and adventurous year with you.

Kite festival

We went to a kite festival -- supposed to be one of the biggest in the Bay area, with all shape and sizes of kites -- boasting some as large as the size of a full school bus. The boys got to ride a school bus a short distance (since they don't have seat belts!!!) to the festival which was really fun and special for them. 

Conner very happy to be riding a school bus.

Daddy and Trevor on the school bus

Not sure what they were discussing, but I thought this was a cute pic.

Some of the large, school bus size, octopus kites.

Other kites - a gecko and Nemo!

County Fair

We had a county fair come to town and so we got to go a few times. There was so much to do and see, the kids had so much fun and we even got to catch part of a Lonestar concert which was a special treat for us. :-)

Here are some pix of the fun we had...

Dean and Marco on the high swing..

Trev in a car ride.

This was a cars train ride the boys LOVED.

Boat ride.

Petting zoo. Trevor loves animals and has no fear of them.

No fair is complete without an ice-cream stop. 

Some summer pix

We've been enjoying our summer a lot: enjoying parks, swimming -- this year was monumental as Conner learned the basics of swimming and staying afloat, which has been a lot of fun -- enjoying our cousin friends, celebrating Noelle's birthday, visiting a county fair, and much more... Here are a few fun pix to enjoy.

Giving Noelle her present

Throwing rocks in a nearby creek -- always a favorite activity. 

Trevor trying out swinging from a bar..

Conner's very first hamburger -- thanks to his cousins good influence. ;)

Stay tuned for County Fair and July 4th pix...
