Great Aunt Karen.

Yes we are torturing her already!

Two in a week!

From one tooth on Sunday July 25th and 1 more tooth today. Thomas is going to be moved to soft foods once he looses his other two loose teeth. He says he looks zig zaggy now and I think he looks like a jack-o-lantern.

4th of July

For the 4th of July we traveled to Mammoth and spent the Holiday with Jason's Parents. Here we are waiting for the fireworks! Here are the boys backed up to a waterfall at Lake Mary.

We also fished at Lake Mary and caught nothing but plants. Ugh. But how could we be sad with this beautiful scenery all around us!

This is really our newest addition!

We found out by the boys telling us, "We are having a sister." We were extremely excited and could not wait for a second opinion as we knew we were having a boy. Immediately the names they chose were Tutti Frutti and Diet Coke from Thomas and James. All options we said we'd think about, but sure we won't use. Now they call the baby Sissie. Better than the other two names I guess.

Now that we had confirmation we are excited to post it. Due in October!!!

Our newest addition!

How did we get here? Well last weekend we decided to take our first camping trip with friends who I camped with when I was a child. We thought we'd leave a day early with my parents in tow. We made it to the dirt road down by the salt n sea and we were a mile on the dirt road when Jason's Explorer died. Since it was six o clock and a tow truck could come for an hour and a half we decided to pitch our tent on the side of the dirt road. We had a great night with the boys by the campfire and slept soundly in the tent. The next morning we called to have a tow truck come and were informed they will not come on the dirt road. Thankfully, my dad had a truck and towed Jason's Explorer with a rope to the closest street a tow truck would come to. The car was towed to Palm Desert. The boys, my parents and I waited on the side of the road, under our easy up (with no shade and it was 103) for the verdict. Around 5:00 we got the news that the engine had seized and it would be 6000 to replace. Thankfully Jason's Grandparents let him borrow their Explorer to rescue us from the desert and take us home. Now we needed a car. After much haggling and many hours at the car dealer this was the end result. The smile has not left Jason's face all night!

Spring Tulips!

Our tulips are in bloom and beautiful. I couldn't help but have the boys pose with them!

Snow much fun!

Mammoth has a ton of snow! Here is James after being thrown in a snow mound.

Twin Snow Angels :)!

Driveway Sledding. We usually walk off the deck of Jason's parents second story and build a sled run but the snow goes too high above their deck now. So, we made a run in the driveway!

The boys favorite thing to do was eat snow. Here is Thomas enjoying some.

What the boys have wanted to do since we visited last winter. They love snowmobiling!
