Riding the "El"

Iowa!

We are having fun in IA. See below!

Au revoir!

We are off to the Midwest tomorrow for a fun family trip. We can't wait. Neither can these monkeys. As Carson says "one more nap!"

Happy birthday Dad!

We had so much fun on my dad's birthday in honor of him.
Bellagio.
Conservatory.
Monet.
Gelato.
Magic tricks in the casino.
A picture at the "Welcome to Vegas" sign.
It was a day just like him. Awesome.

Make-up

Carson was putting my make-up on Sam this morning. He also put some on me and I got all the way to work before I realized I had lip gloss on my cheek.

Almost Famous

Last Day of School

Carson, we are so proud of you and what you've accomplished this year. You've learned so much and you've made so many friends. On to pre-K!

Potty like a Rock Star

Sam has been wearing her big girl underwear for about a week now. She's had just a few accidents. I am so proud of her. It took me a year to train Carson so I was thrilled that this accomplishment took Sam just a few days. Good work Sam!

here's a tip

If you give your preschool age kids a bucket of water, a shovel, rocks, and dirt, they will spend 30 minutes making "soup".

Big Girl

Sam has a new big girl bed! She loves it. She's also in the middle of boot camp style potty training and she's doing great. Just a few accidents but she is quickly figuring out how to use the potty. What a big girl!

Menchie's

Menchie's is a frozen yogurt place that we usually go to twice a week on average. Sam and Carson love the flavors and the big chalkboard inside the store. Here's Carson with one of his BFFs, Cassidy, downing Menchie's.

start them young!

Carson likes to help mommy clean. This is no surprise considering genetics....he comes from a long bloodline of overly clean people. He loves to spray the windex and wipe it up. I like it!
