County Fair

Since we didn't make it to the state fair this year, Trena and I decided to take the girls and Owen to the county fair. We went on a Friday morning and it was pretty empty! All morning Caroline talked about wanting to ride a pony, but when the time came, she chickened out. :)

Trena took the girls on the carousel (Caroline's favorite!) while I watched the babies.

Ice Cream!!

Besties

The girls wanted to ride on a motorcycle and loved it...for about 10 seconds. Luckily they were the only kids on the ride, because Caroline made the man stop it about 30 seconds in to it. She did this on just about every ride. :)

Such a fun morning!!

Fun with friends

Caroline has a group of friends that we get to see a lot. Unfortunately, this fall when she starts preschool, they won't all be on the same schedule. We have been trying so see them as much as possible this summer.

Besties! Luckily they will be on the same preschool schedule.

Samantha and Owen

First day of summer school!

Going on a train ride

Owen 5 months

Our little guy is getting so big! We didn't have a dr appt this month so I am not sure about his stats but we know that he is growing! At his 4 month appt he was in the 90th percentile for weight and 95th for height! He is rolling over both ways (but for the time being seems to have forgotten how to get back to his back from his belly...which can cause problems in the middle of the night!). He smiles and giggles constantly, especially at his sister. No one can make him laugh like she can! We haven't started solids yet, but plan to in the next week or two. He is very interested in toys right now and is especially fond of a bunny his Great Grandma Zelasko sent him. We think he may be getting ready for a tooth because he always seems to be drooling and gnawing on his fingers/toys. He is such a laid back, snuggly, and all around happy boy. It is amazing to me how different my two kids are/were as babies. We are really enjoying watch his personality develop!

Trinity 2011

I have been lagging about updating the blog lately! I am trying to get caught up and will try to be better. :)I really need to get on Picasa and "steal" some of Kate's pictures from their visit...it's next on my list.
I am finally getting around to getting Trinity pics on here. They are all out of order, but something is better than nothing. :)

This year was a great one! Caroline is the same age I was when we first started going to Trinity and it was so much fun watching her experience everything. We didn't get our own cabin this year but Mom and Dad were kind enough to let us take over their cabin once again! Caroline (and Owen) loved having so much time with Mimi and Papa. There wasn't much sleeping going on but luckily there was plenty of time for naps!

Owen spent much of his vacation in the bjorn

Sorry Mom, I had to! :)

This swing is Caroline's favorite place to enjoy her ice cream. She had a hard time understanding that it isn't her swing and didn't really like it when others sat on it. Stinker

Every 4th of July we head into town for the Ice Cream Social. Homemade pie and ice cream for breakfast...can't beat it!

Getting ice cream with Papa (I'm pretty sure this was at 10am...only at Trinity can you get away with that!)

The fam (we missed you B, Win Win and Joseph!)

Sleeping Arrangements

Kate and family are visiting and all of the kids wanted to sleep in Caroline's room. Except for a lot of chatter at bed time, they did really well!

Dance Class

I signed Caroline up for a Pre-tap/ballet class through Benicia's Parks and Rec. She is attached to my hip so I wasn't sure how she would do with a dance class where I drop her off, but we need to start getting ready for pre-school. Today was our first class and just like I expected, she wouldn't let me leave. She was super tentative at first, but as the class went on, she started to participate a little. I stayed in the room the whole class, but I inched away little by little until she was actually standing with the other girls. Baby steps. :) She really enjoyed herself. Now we just have to learn about following the teacher's directions!

Memorial Day Weekend

We decided to take a last minute trip (we decided to go the day before we left) to Tahoe for Memorial Day weekend. I think we took more pictures on our phones then on the camera, and I haven't put those on here yet. We were not expecting the ridiculous amount of snow we got over the weekend! Caroline really enjoyed playing in the snow and throwing snowballs at Daddy. :)

I also want to mention how lucky we are to have such amazing and patient parents to watch our crazy dogs every time we decide to take last minute trips to Tahoe. Thanks Mom and Dad...you are the best and we appreciate it!!

This is when it first started snowing. I think we probably got a foot over night!

He is getting so big!

Owen- 3 months

So, Owen is close to 4 months now, but I got a little behind. :) Here he is right at 3 months...such a handsome little guy.
