Brooke's 4th Birthday

Well we have just celebrated Brooke turning 4. I can't believe my baby has turned 4. Her actual birthday is this Tuesday but we celebrated it over the weekend! She had a lot of fun with her cousins and friends.

Stagecoach Park

The kids went to the park this week. They had a lot of fun at our new park. It's a really nice one too! Graham sat in the swing for the first time. He really loved it. Brooke did really well on the slide too.

Our New Neighbors

We have moved into a neighborhood with tons of little children all over. We have been fortunate to meet three young families with 3 and 4 year olds. There is also a family with an eight month old little boy too. We have been fortunate to meet The Moore's whose picture is on top with the expectation of Graham. They are Sean, Jenny ,Sophie and Anya. We have loved spending time with them and getting to know them.

Graham's firsts

Well now that Graham is almost 8 months...I thought I would share all the things he can do now. He can now sit up without falling, clap his hands, say dada and mama, lay on his tummy for more than a minute without crying and finally hold his bottle. I'm making a big deal about this because I think he is a late bloomer. I know that you're not suppose to compare children but Brooke could seriously do all this at 5 months. She was actually standng up and walking around things at 8 months. Anyways we are very proud of our little guy. Well not so little did I mention he is 22 pounds. He is so much fun and I love his laugh.

Carlsbad 5K

There is a 5K happening in Carlsbad in a couple of weeks and we have been thinking about running it. So we have decided to start running four times a week. This week we have been running a mile. I should rephrase to we are running/walking it. I guess more like walking:) The kids love the stroller and holding hands while we go really fast. It's cute.

Stillman and Torianna

Here is a cute picture of Brooke and her new friends. Last night we went to dinner at a new place. It was a small little bistro restaurant. It was called the Market Street Cafe. The kids were good too! Everyone had fun.

Brooke's first day of preschool

Brooke started school yesterday! She was very excited as you can see from the pictures of her. She was quick to rush me out. She came home and talked about the caterpillars in her class and how she used a magnifine glass to look at them. She had a great day!!!

Ponto Beach

Saturday was another beautiful day. We took the kids to Ponto beach. It was packed. Brooke had a lot of fun jumping in the water with her Daddy. Graham played a little on his towel then decided he would rather sleep. We had another fun day here!

Brooke and Graham

Here are some pictures of the kids that were taken the other night. Graham was having so much fun with his big sis.

Brooke's Dance Class

Today was Brooke's first day of dance class. She is learning Ballet and Tap. She did very well and the dance teacher thought she had been taking dance already! Way to go twinkle toes!!!
