Karate Surprise

Mylo is about halfway through his Karate course. We meet on Wenesdays and this past week, we got a special surprise. Papa and Gigi came to watch! Both boys were super excited and surprised! Papa brought his new camera and took some good action shots. Mylo got to do a solo "spar" for 15 seconds. It was pretty cool. Maxton of course, played trains. Ha!

Happy Birthday, Maxton!

My baby is four years old. Where has the time gone? As most everyone knows, Maxton is a train freak. We went to the Adobe Mountain Railroad park for a ride on the train then home for spaghetti and "rainbow" cake per Max's requests. Lots of new Thomas trains and stations to play with and a really cool "trash truck" were among Max's birthday goodies. As I type this, he is laying by my feet with 18 of his little engines connected saying, "MOM, IT'S THE BIGGEST TRAIN YOU EVER SAW!"
Love this kid SO much!

Outside

What fabulous weather we had this past weekend! We spent our Sunday doing yardwork and made a trip to Lowe's to get some plants. The kids (and Andy) played in the driveway riding bikes and skateboards.

I found some great little tubs in the dollar section at Target, filled them with plants, and have them tucked all over the place. I also found a super cool FLOUR tin at Goodwill and found an even COOLER plant to put in it. Here's some of my pretties:

Pretty productive, I'd say.....and a great time to be outside.
