Somehow this never gets old...

Step 1: Find the perfect block to add to your city/park/zoo/farm (all in 1!)


Step 2: Step back to proudly take a look at your finished creation.


Step 3: Get out your monster truck.


Step 4: CRASH!!!!


Step 5: Repeat. All day.


Our favorite way to start the day...

Jammies plus a stack of good books (for reading or eating).

Who needs toys?




Party Time!

We celebrated Jack's 3rd birthday with a "Cars" party in our backyard! Jack had 2 requests for his party: he wanted a jump house and yellow cupcakes...we delivered. We were worried that the August heat in Sacramento would make an outside party a challenge so we decided to party in the morning. Our backyard is nice and shady at that time and we figured that most of Jack's friends nap anyways so a morning party was the way to go! It worked out really well, and most importantly, Jack had a blast! We'd never rented a bounce house before, but will definitely do it again...not too pricey and easy entertainment for the kiddos (and even some of the adults!). Here are some picture from our very fun day:


The day before the party, Jack helped "decorate"!

Opening lots of fun presents- what a lucky boy!


Playing in the brand new sandbox with Cameron and Dylan



Bouncing fun

Time for cake and ice cream!

Happy Birthday Jack!

Look who's 3!

Jumping, jumping!

A little blurry, but you get the idea! Hard to capture a moving target...



Now it's Grandpa's turn!
