The last day of Tiny Tots

Thursday was Tony's last day of Tiny Tots. They celebrated with a slide show of all the activities from the past year and then had a big party with slip-n-slides, sprinklers and great big waterslide. Our Tony was so brave, he actually climbed up the big slide and went down without a second of doubt. It surprised the heck out of me, I thought sure I was going to have to climb up and help him down. (For those who don't know, he hates being in the water- bath time around here sounds like we are torturing him) He has been telling everyone he comes across all about it- especially how he "got water in his eyes, but he's ok now" Maybe his swim lessons next week will go ok after all....we'll keep you posted!

Meagan is 7 months old!!

I'm 7 months old now!!

I have 2 teeth, I like to sit up and play "So Big!"

I have monkey toes- they are just right to hold my toys to I can

play with both hands...

Life is good!

Memorial Day Fun...

Hi!! We've been out of touch for a while, so here are some pictures from our adventures at the lake for Memorial Day weekend. Tony and Tom both caught fish, which Tony can't wait for Papa to smoke for him.

While we were at the car show on Saturday, Tony got himself some strawberry shortcake...Daddy thought it looked mighty tasty...

Enjoy!!

Patio Construction

Tom has been working hard to finish up the patio. The concrete is all in place, its irrigated and the soil is place. A few more plants and its good to go.....

Cherries & more....

It's time for CHERRIES!!!

This is the first year we've had any cherries from our tree- last year the weather wasn't cooperating, and the year before that we lost them all to the birds.

Tom is just about at the end of the concrete. This is the future BBQ pad. All that's left is the small patio at the end of the bocce court (8 squares)

Its Rodeo Week here in Redding, so the kids in Tiny Tots took a field trip out to see the animals and meet the Budweiser Clydesdales. We missed the barrel races that were scheduled for today, but we were just in time to watch them offload the cattle for some of the other events. I think the kids had more fun watching the cows come down the chute anyways. We finished up with lunch at the Sundial bridge. Lots of fun!

Jumperoo!

Meagan has a new toy- her Jumperoo. She LOVES it! She's like the energizer bunny on overdrive...once she starts she can't stop herself from bouncing. She gets to giggling, then mommy starts giggling and that makes her laugh even harder, which makes mommy hysterical. Its a sight to see...

Adventures in Ashland and more...

Hi!

Its been a busy week here for us- we took a little trip up to Ashland for the weekend, had the computer upgraded for work, Meagan is 6 months old now, and Nana is here visiting for the week. Lots of fun stuff, not so much time to update. But here is a slide show from the weekend. We found a couple of campgrounds that we're going to stay at for summer getaways, played at a couple of parks, did the Harry & David thing, wandered the Jackson & Perkins test gardens, visited the creamery and came home with a bunch of great cheeses- Yum!

Meagan turned 6 months on Monday. I can't believe how fast time goes! She is 27" tall now and 16 lbs, 5 oz. She is rolling over in both directions & inching her way across the living room 'Meagan style' - she'll start out on her back, arch her head back to see where to go, lift her hips up and push back. She's rubbed off a bit of hair, but luckily its so long its covered up pretty well. She's getting pretty good at sitting by herself, but after a few minutes she'll flop, so we still have to keep a pretty close eye on her. Such a happy girl!
