He's Two!

Jake is showing a little attitude right after
blowing out his two candles. He was happy once
he stuck his whole face in the cupcake.
He also loves to give hugs and kisses.
He is wild as ever;we officially have a leash
for him now. Still, life is good.

The Latest...

Isabel on June 3rd, the day of her
end-of-kindergarten celebration.
The next day (which was the actual last day of school)
she lost her two front teeth. She was as happy as could be.
She is SO ready for 1st grade. We are both excited.

So on her first day of summer break, she wanted to do
something special, like get her haircut. She had been
begging me for a while. Her best friend Kaitlyn has short hair.
Well, I figured, hair grows back, so why not?

The girl loves to play will play with Jake's toys.
Jake just got a really cool tool bench for his birthday
and she said to me, 'Mom, when Jake goes down for a nap,
I'm going to play with it, so DON'T put it in his room'.

Fun at the Springs Preserve

In May, when the weather was nicer, we all went to the
Springs Preserve (www.springspreserve.org).

There was a lot to see---and next year they will even add to it all with the NV State Museum and some other building devoted to everything about water. I can't remember the name because it was a month ago--and I've noticed I'm starting to have trouble with my memory these days.

There was a cool play area for the kids
with desert-type animal creatures.

Then they had a little concert in an amphitheater
and the kids gladly joined in.

We watched the show.

And Alexa watched Jake.
She is really great at helping us chase after him.
