Beautiful little girls!

Park Day

Lucy loved just relaxing in the stream!



I totally forgot to post pictures of the girls when we went to this park a few weeks ago. I have been wanting to take them here because I heard that it was a lot of fun, which the girls will agree. :) I like that fact that this little water feature is separate from the playground as it can still be really hard to watch the twins on a playground. They both want to do different activities, so naturally they run off in different directions, forcing me to triage which kid needs my attention the most. (The one about to take a head plant from the monkey bars, the one about to run into the street, or the one screaming at the top of the slide because the ground is too hot?) My attention is being pulled three different ways, and it just doesn't make for a very enjoyable outing. But this park was very nice and relaxing. :)

Our trip to Jamestown

The train whistle was quite loud!



An American flag and a POW flag.

The motorcyclists waving to Lucy as we passed by.

We made a long, but fun, side trip to Jamestown today to ride the old Steam Engine. Jamestown is about 100 miles south east of Sacramento off of Hwy 49. Chris got this idea after seeing some old movie at work and his firefighter told him about the train rides that they do every weekend. The girls had so much fun, and in fact, so did Chris and I! This age is really so much fun with the girls. I love taking them places and doing things with them! We can just throw our daily schedule out the window and go have fun with them without too many tantrums by the end of the night. (This really wasn't that possible just 6 months ago with the twins.) If you ever go, make sure you take Latrobe Road to Scott Road to Prairie City on the way home. Scott Road is so much fun, it's like a little roller coaster with all the hills and turns!

State Fair

Lucy didn't like the water ride so Papa pulled her out! LOL

Ahhhhhhh, so sweet!





Maddie and Grandpa Mike.

Isn't she SO pretty?!?!

We met my dad, brother and SIL at the State Fair today. The weather was GORGEOUS, and it really wasn't that crowded. The girls had a blast, and I officially convinced that the twins are ready for Disneyland! The fair was great, except the cost of the kid rides!!! One ticket costs $1, and the cost of the carousel was 4 tickets, or $4! $4 x 3 kids= $12 to ride a stupid carousel!!!! Of course we didn't have to let them ride any rides, but how could we take them to the fair and NOT ride any rides?!?!? The last time we went I think tickets were 3 for $1, so essentially each ride was $1 or $1.25.... I can definitely say that next year we will go on a Tuesday when they have free admission for safety workers and $1 rides. Now that I am off my rant, we still did have a good time and the company was great. :) And an added bonus was that we got to see the horse races right before we left. Maddie and I were lovin it!

Lucy and Ava's First day of Pre-school!

Lucy and Ava were so excited to GO to pre-school that they
had a hard time cooperating with my NEED to have a picture
of them by the front door!


Lucy and Ava's first day of pre-school went GREAT! They have been anticipating this day for months now. :) The teacher is great, and all the little kids are SO cute. It is also nice that mama and papa now get a every Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30-11:30!
