Grandma enjoys her babies

Phil's Dad left after about a week, but we still had Phil's mom for one more week.

Addie loves watching her dad mow the lawn from this window. She bangs on it to get his attention and he waves at her. She loves it! She is pulling up on everything, but still trying to crawl. Any day now I am sure. She only has one tooth and it is only half way up. She is driving us nuts. Get some teeth already!!!!PLEASE!!!!

I was surprised to get a pretty good shot of both kids with grandma. They sat still...AMAZING!

Our Day at the Train

We had tried to take Jackson to the train ride in Georgtown CO in the mountains on Father's Day. We made the unfortunate mistake of not buying our tickets in advance. Can you imagine the build up to it and then getting there and having to explain to a 3yr old that they are sold out! MAJOR DRAMA!!!!!!

So when we finally made it with Phil's parents a couple weeks later, and he was ecstatic. He told Phil he wanted to ride every day. We laughed because it was about $100 bucks for the six of us to ride for a little under an hour. A far cry from the train ride in Tilden Park in Oakland.

Although the weather was rainy, it was still beautiful.

Grandma And Grandpa come to town!

Phil's parents came for a visit on July 4th. Phil's dad stayed for a week and helped a ton with the yard. Phil's mom stayed for two weeks and helped a ton with the kids. We hung out at home a lot but we did some small excursions. I will post more photos of them a little later.

My brother came over with his wife that same day too.

Crazy Kids!

Just some more photos. The one with Addie in her jumper asleep is hilarious. We have video that I will post later of her going to town in it. After all that jumping you gotta pass out!

Trying to find my Groove.

So it has taken awhile, and I am still not all the way there, but this staying at home mom stuff is HARD! I am still trying to find a groove, but I have joined a moms group and the main lady is from Oakland....small world!

One thing I have been doing a lot is taking the kids to the pool every day. We have a pool in our neighborhood that we pay HOA fees for. It is pretty nice since it has a kiddie pool that is like two feet deep. I also have been taking them to this park on Fridays and having a picnic and letting Jack play as long as he wants (within reason).

I still need to check out the library and some indoor venues for the upcoming WINTER! YIKES!

I need to take photos at the pool, but these are from our park adventures.

The Jury is still out on this thing called FOOD!

More photos of Addie. I think this is her third food feeding, and she still looks worried.
