Scooby doo Birthday

Went out back to find our "BIRTHDAY SURPRISE" missing! Scooby had seen what took place.
Had to feed scooby doo scooby snacks by sliding them down his tough from the play structure to where he was stuck on the trampoline in order for him to tell us where the villain left his first clue
Had to fish out clues on rocks out of the "swamp"



The bats held the next clue that led up to our next game












Had to stomp the "ghost" to find the next step


Off the the Mystery Machine to race to our next location

Fred helped up come up with a great idea how to trap our villain by making a spiders web in the door way

Ready to confront the villain and lure him into our trap

He was tricked into chasing us right into our boobie trap

The unmasking revealed it was Collettes Daddy who stole our Birthday surprise! Silly Daddy

It was a COTTON CANDY MACHINE!!! Ya for us all!

Ha, didn't know if I was going to have a birthday cake the night before but it ended up working out.......to a point :S

Happy with the zoo zoo pets. Thanks grammy! Thanks Marie!!

Thanks to all our friends who helped up solve our mystery!!!

Mothers day

Its a little tough not having someone around who makes sure your little kids are aware of Mothers day so you don't have to do it yourself. Luckily I have Collette! Though she didn't get a ton of effort out of Tre he still attempted something and I love him for it. Monet spent 30 minutes working on her card!

Then on Monday Collettes' class had a "spa day" with lotions, massages, manicures, and chocolate! Of course I appreciated the chocolate the most, but she did do a fab job on my boy hand.

kick'in it

She certaintly knows how. This was at our yard sale. It was fun hanging outside with everyone all morning long. Lots of sun time

100 lessons

Tre and I have done 20 lessons now out of"Teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons."It is going really well. I love the approach inthe book, but the best thing is it tell you exactly what to say in nice red letters. I can't say anything straight, I'm lucky if people understand what I am saying half the time. So, just laying it out for me lets him completely understand what I am trying to teach him. I just read, and even if I don't know what I just read out load HE does. I just wish I knew of this for Collette.

"The same age as Jacob"- Tre is 4!!

Birthday and Megans and Chippys again. I can't believe he is 4 years old. Tre is the sweetest boys I've ever known. He loves is sisters so much and is very caring to them..... alot of the time. He loves to learn and is such a good listener. He is kinda clumsy, but makes up for it in cuteness! He can get super excited about the smalls little things, which can be tons of fun. We love the Tre bay. Cheated on the cake this time. I put toy dinosaurs on it.

School carnival and a Late Saturday night

Mill st. had their carnival night this Friday. Collette invited the cousins! The fire truck again was a big hit. Maybe bought a few too many tickets but we finally used them all up. Thanks to Megan for coming and making it possible. I should use a stroller more often...........I think I'm crazy because I never do.

Didn't have anyone to bug this Saturday so I actually took initiative all on my own and took the kids to Cinderella @ Chico theater Company. Both kids were pretty much standing out of their seats for a closer view the entire time! Tre was too shy to take a pic with the princess but Collette thought she was wonderful.

Our new neighbor!

We made a new friend the other day. It's the 4ft long garter snake that lives in our back yard. I caught him once and ever since then he has made an appearance everyday. We know where is hole is but no name yet. .......

yeah, I'm sure it makes some people cringe, but we love it!

It sure felt like summer today. The kids now have a wonderful play structure we found on craiglist. Today it was our water slide as well. If only it would not get hotter then today. I'm not looking forward to the hot nights and soaring electric bills.
