Daddy's day off

Today Daddy didn't have to "work". Although he has been up and gone not "working" all day. He has been cleaning up our yard. He took a load to the dump and the kids love to ride in his truck so I fixed them a sandwich each and sent them all on their way. Later we are going to go swimming at Chris and Melissa's new place. Another exciting day for the kids! I'll try to get some pictures of the swimming on here later, but for now, here they are on the way to the dump.


Here are the swimming pictures.

Where's Tanner?

The "new" rooms

After an enjoyable 3 1/2 months of having my brother and his wife live with us, they have found their own place and I have done some "redecorating". MJ's mom took the kids Tuesday night so I could "sleep" (almost impossible these days). And MJ and I moved some furniture Tuesday night. After 5 straight hours of sleep!!! I decided to get up and finish the task. So Wednesday I "finished" (for now).

We have moved Tanner into what was our guest room. This room will eventually become a play room so I invested in a rug that I really liked. It has all the letters (upper and lower case), the numbers, shapes and colors. Also a little extra fun with some "bee's" on it. It is still a work in progress but he has been sleeping in it for 3 nights and seems to be okay with the switch.


Then we turned Tanner's room back into the "nursery" or Hunter's room. With a little less than 3 weeks to spare (sooner I hope) before he comes we are finally ready and have somewhere to put him.


Then we can't forget Jessi's mess, I mean room. She is the lucky one that gets most of the toys and other things stored in her room for the time being, so it usually is a little cluttered but I don't think she minds too much.

Tanner's new injury

Tanner chipped his tooth last night while we were at the mall. He was messing around while we were eating and hit the table REALLY hard with his mouth and now he has a chipped tooth. This isn't the first time he has hit his teeth. He will be added to our dental plan next month.

This is kind of a weird picture of him, but it shows his teeth. Now he has "fangs" and a chipped tooth. At least it is still a baby tooth.

Jessi had to get a picture of her smile too.

I'm a slacker

A month ago we were able to have a fun Saturday with Daddy. He didn't have to work so we went down to Monterey and went to the aquarium there. The kids loved the river otter exhibit. I have only seen it once and it has been there two years and now they are moving the otters, I'm a little sad. Anyway, they have some really active otters and then some play things for the kids. We also loved the kid area near the penguins. Here are a few snap shots that we got of the kids.


That same day we took the kids to Golfland, and Jessica and Adam met us there. What a dream day for Jessi! They had a blast and loved spending so much time with Daddy. He has been working so hard all Spring/Summer. We are all looking forward to Fall/Winter and hopefully some cooler weather.





Enjoy the pictures. I think the next update with probably be when Hunter comes. Three weeks and counting!
