Sock Hop

Last week Colby and I went to a PTO Sock Hop at his school. There weren't very many people there but we had a lot of fun. I won a gift basket with bath products and also won a silent auction of a photo shoot for the boys. I'm really excited about the photo shoot because I've been wanting to do one for a long time but Chris doesn't really like to spend money on pictures when we can take pictures ourselves. You know, men! Here's a picture of the cute little man.


Yeah, I don't really know what this pose is all about.

Some New Wheels at Our House

This weekend we went and picked up a very special gift from Grandpa and Grandma in Missouri. They've been waiting a long time to get the boys something big like this and boy do the boys love it! It's a Powerwheels Jeep!! The first day they had it they rode around in the alley for about 2 hours taking turns with the neighbor girls. See they are picking up chicks already! I'm sure this will keep the kids entertained for hours so thanks Grandpa and Grandma in Missouri!!

Lagoon

On Saturday Colby got to go camping at Lagoon with Grandpa and Grandma Carpenter. It was special for him because he got to spend alone time with just the two of them. No little brother getting in the way. They said he played a lot of games with them and put together some puzzles and had so much fun playing in the dirt that the tub was black!

On Sunday morning Chris, Cameron and I went up to meet them and spend the day at Lagoon. Colby had so much fun, the bumper cars were his favorite! Cameron on the other hand did not! For some reason he has decided he hates seat belts of any sort-well except the kind in the car thankfully! We tried to put him on a few rides with Colby and he did nothing but scream! Grandma thought she'd take him on the carousel because he loves the one at Disneyland but sure enough, when it was time to put on the seat belt he screamed bloody murder and I had to rescue her from his screams by removing him from the ride. We did finally convince him to go on the train but only because he could sit on Grandma's lap. After all was said and done we did end up getting him on five rides I think. The rest of the day he was content to just stand or watch Colby do all the fun stuff. We always have a good time at Lagoon! We seem to always go when the weather is bearable and the crowds are low so the boys can go from ride to ride. That's pretty much why we go is for the boys. I think Chris and I rode one ride by ourselves and that wasn't even worth it. Colby is already asking when he can go back. He said he LOVES Lagoon! So thanks Grandpa and Grandma Carpenter for inviting us to spend the day with you. We love our good quality time with you guys!
