Preschool!!

My sweet, innocent, adorable, smart, funny, did I mention sweet little boy started preschool today. I am a very sad mama right now! It's hard to send the baby off anywhere. This morning he was very excited about it up until it was time for me to leave. He started getting a little clingy so I walked with him into his classroom and showed him where to hang up his backpack. He sat back down on my lap and we had a small little chat. I pointed out all the toys and told him I promise to come back and get him in two hours. He said, "no, one hour". I said, "ok, I promise I'll come get you in one hour". That's all it took, he hopped up and went over to the toys and I made a beeline for the door. Thank goodness he can't tell time yet! When I picked him up he had a big grin and told me how much fun he had. His teacher said he was a little standoffish at first but warmed up just fine.

Me and my BABY! (Colby took this picture, didn't he do a good job!)

He's so grown up!

We Have a Birthday!

Today this sweet little boy turns 6 years old! I don't know where time has gone, it feels like just yesterday we were at the hospital with him. I love this boy more than words can even describe. He is so smart and funny. I can't believe some of the things he comes up with. For the most part he's a good big brother to Cameron and loves playing with him. His favorite things to do are play outside with his friends riding bikes, scooters, swinging, playing on the tramp, or just hanging out with them. When he grows up he wants to be a ROCK STAR!

Happy 6th Birthday, Colby, we love you more than you'll ever know.

I Left My Heart In San Francisco

Chris and I took a trip to San Francisco a few weeks ago. It was the first time I had ever been there and I absolutely fell in LOVE with the place. We were only able to spend about a day and a half there and I didn't want to leave. Since it was my first trip we did all the touristy things like Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, Ghiradelli Square, Chinatown, Cable Cars, Street Cars, Harbor Cruise, Union Square, Lombard Street etc.

The weather the first day was very very chilly as in like 58 degrees, cloud cover and breezy! We were not dressed for the weather at all. The second day it was much warmer and very pleasant.I thought I'd share a few, err, I mean several pictures from our trip. I cannot wait until we can go back again and stay a few days!

A real live cable car! I had no idea how much effort it takes one of the conductors to run the thing. It's a very manual job!

Chris was dying to eat from the fresh seafood stand. I was in such amazement that he would be so brave to do such a thing that I had to document it

We weren't able to take a tour of Alcatraz because all the tours were full but we were able to get up close to it with our harbor cruise.

Biking on Four Wheels

Cameron has been watching all the fun the kids have been having on their bikes and wanted to try it for himself. Our gracious neighbor had a bike the perfect size for him they were no longer using so he gave it to Cameron. He's still not very good at keeping moving but he sure gives it his best effort. And I have to admit he looks adorable doing it! Hopefully he'll be zipping up and down the alley in no time at all!
