It's not very often that you get to play in a fire hydrant!!





 I'm not really sure who had more fun... Chris or the girls!


 The photos below are from last week.....

 The headphones that Lucy and Ava are wearing are the same headphones that the firefighters wear on calls.  They can talk and hear each other even when the siren is going. Lucy and Ava thought this was so much fun.

Best Poppa ever! :-)

We will never forget you Daisy! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO





I literally just told Madeline 2 weeks ago that Daisy would probably only be around for another 2 years or so. Little did I know that she would leave us so soon after I said that. On Wednesday Daisy didn't look like she felt very well, so I babied her a bit and gave her a lot of love. That night she started throwing up blood... not a good sign, but I was hoping that maybe she just ate something that irritated her stomach... the next morning she looked a tad bit better, but not much. She was really lethargic, refused to eat or drink, and was having a hard time getting around. By Friday morning she could barley walk... she was fighting to breathe normally... and we knew it was time to say good-bye to her. We all sat with Daisy, her head on our laps, and told her what a good dog she has been for the last 11 years... we told funny stories about her, we petted her, we hugged and kissed her, and we said good-bye.... This was such a sad, sad day.... Daisy will always hold a special place in our hearts...

Lucy's first bee sting..... :-(


 The "victim" :-(
The "perpetrator"  Bad bee!!!

Last day of pre-school for Lucy and Ava!







 Best friends!
 Teacher Jane (and Lucy and Ava of course..)
Teacher Teresa

Lucy and Ava's last day of pre-school went really well (besides the fact that I forgot to change my camera settings before I started taking pictures!)  I just can't believe that my little twins are going to be starting Kindergarten in the fall... how did they grow up so fast?

We are STILL singing in the rain on June 1st :-)

                                                It's a chilly 50 degrees in Fair Oaks today!
             The storm is coming!

 And of course, the girls want to play in the rain. :-)
 And thunder.... and lightning....!
And I think to myself... why did I spend all that money on rain boots?
