Our annual trip to Gold Rush Days!

Catching up

Here are some old pictures I had on my camera that I should have posted a while ago. So here is some catching up. . .

Tristan's first haircut (yes, this is post haircut picture)

JR getting ready for his first haircut in over a year


JR post haircut and in his soccer uniform

JR's first day of 2nd grade

Our very own house!

Grapes from our very own grapevine. (I didn't get a picture of our plentiful peaches)

The sweetest boy

JR is such a sweet person. I think that is one of, if not his best quality. Tristan was really ill this morning and I came into the family room to see this:



The thing I missed, you can kind of see the beginning of it at the very end of the video, is JR leaned over and kissed Tristan. The sweetest.

Tristan's first haircut

Tristan finally got his first haircut, but I must admit it's not much of a haircut. He had this funny 'V' shape in the back where the hair in the middle was super long. I just cut that part off to make it straight across in the back. That's all. But now I have a lock of hair for his baby book and hopefully it convince at least a couple people that he is not a girl.

Unfortunately I forgot to take before pictures, but here are the after pictures:

Noodles

Where do they all go?!?

I added new posts to April

Check back to April. I added a couple of back posts.

Just a funny picture

I love the sleeping with the butt up in the air pictures.

Boys and Farts

It has started, and I am out numbered. James taught JR that he can make a fart noise by putting his hand behind his knee and bending his leg. JR has learned this new talent and has taken it to the next level. Today I came home and JR proudly told me that he could jump on one leg and make the fart noise with the other. It's fart noises all day long, fake and real. I need a place to retreat.

Strawberries, strawberries, everywhere.

It's strawberry season and we got to go to our favorite organic u-pick strawberry farm. It's $12 to take home a large bucket and all you can eat while you're there. We filled our bellies with strawberries and brought home enough for sorbet, smoothies, and snack time munching. The kids had fun picking and eating.

Sonoma Train Town

We all went to Sonoma for the long weekend and James' birthday. It wasn't the romantic weekend James and I think of when we think of Sonoma, but we had fun with the kids. We ate lots of cheese samples at the Sonoma Cheese Factory and had to go to Train Town. And James and I got to do a little wine drinking after the kids went to bed.
