Catching up...

So I've been a pretty bad blogger lately! We've been pretty busy this month. We've been working on our yard and finally are putting new grass in which we've been wanting to do for a while. It is a big project and takes up all of our Saturdays. It will be worth it when it's done though, I can't wait! Right now we just have a bunch of dirt in our yard so the kids get so dirty all the time. I try to keep them inside as much as I can which is hard. I took "before" pictures but I won't post them until I have the "after" pictures to get the full effect.

Here's what's been going on at our house...

Uncle Chris and Aunt Amanda are staying with Grandma and Grandpa for the Summer so the kids have really enjoyed seeing them. We went to Disneyland last week and had a great time with Chris and Amanda, and Kristy and Brady. It is so nice to have some extra hands around to help with the kids! Here are some pics from Disneyland.




Maddie has been very anxious for school to end and summer to begin. I am excited to not have to get up so early and get her off to school. I am sure I will be ready for her to go back to school come August. Today is actually her last day of school and she has been looking forward to it for a few weeks now. Maddie lost another tooth recently and has been very excited about that too. She is also looking forward to her performance in Beauty and the Beast at Los Osos high school in July. She is in the youth ensemble and will play a sugar cube in the "be our guest" scene.

Carter finished preschool the beginning of the month and had a fun end of year party at "Jumping Jacks". He loved his first year of preschool and is really looking forward to next year. One of the things I love about our city is we have an excellent preschool program run by the parks and recreation. Best of all it is very inexpensive compared to most preschools. He loved his teacher and made lots of friends.




Sawyer is growing up so fast! He is starting to talk so much! He is probably our most expressive child. You can always tell what kind of mood he is in by the look on his face. It is almost comical sometimes! He is great at throwing tantrums, my favorite is when he doesn't get his way he looks for a door to slam. He runs down the hall to his room and stands in the doorway waiting for me, he looks at me with the maddest face ever and then slams the door. I think he has definitely picked this up from Maddie. He is even more dramatic than she was at that age which scares me!
