Blog on the Back Burner

This is a crazy time of year and it's driving me crazy that I'm so far behind on updating the blog and my pictures. So here we go...I'm taking an hour and catching up!

Grants Farm; August 27

Christina asked us and the Pacifico's to join them for a fun day at Grant's Farm. We arrived right as it was opening and hopped on the tram. Of course the boys loved being on a "street train". Then we ventured off to feed the goats. Everyone freaked out as we entered the gates with our bottles in hand except for Andrew. By the time I made it through the gates with Matthew, his bottle was empty. Of course there was so much chaos that I couldn't capture any pictures. After the goats, we headed to the carousel. Then we walked around and looked at all the animals. We ended the day with lunch, a tram ride back to the car and a quick visit to the Clydesdales. Of course everyone fell asleep on the way home and didn't go back to sleep so it was a long day but worth it!

Chase's 3rd Birthday party; August 28

We headed to the Pacifico's for Chase's big celebration. Of course the boys were so excited knowing they were going to swim, play with trucks, AND eat cake! It was a great party; very laid back and LOTS of fun! The ride home was interesting considering the bridge to get back to our house was closed. So our normal 15 minute drive turned into 45 but it was fine and the kids were great!



Sunday Dinner/Celebrating Grandma; August 29, 2010

**On the way to Sunday dinner we stopped at Babies R Us and took advantage of their trade in promotion and got Molly a new big girl car seat.



It's been a year since my grandmother passed away. So my mom decided this would be a good Sunday dinner to celebrate Grandma. We drank a lot of chardonnay, had fried chicken, and dessert in honor of her. It was so good to be together with everyone remember our special grandma. There is construction going on in my parents subdivision so they boys spent a lot of time there trying out all the machines. Kiersten and Kaitlyn even joined in on the fun. Matthew was giving Kaitlyn a ride on the Bobcat and said to her, "You can sit on my lap, but I can't take you home" :)) During the kids dinner Kiersten made Andrew take care of her baby. It was hysterical, she just bosses him around and he takes it. It was pretty late by the time we headed home so we said our nightly prayers in the car. I looked back and the boys had their hands in "prayer" position, it was priceless.
