Jog a Thon

I love the jog a thon.
I love cheering the kids on,
and I love the fact that they are so tired at the end of the day they literally just fall asleep on the floor.

Field Trips

Explored the California Academy of Science today for the first time!

 And a few days later hit up the pumpkin patch with the two littlest littles!

I Love My Boys

 Full of smiles, and dirt and no manners.....

 ...but they'll sit still if you give them legos or books.

 Anything or anyone becomes a playground.

 And they love time when its just mommy and them.

 And they love to geek out on the computer creating spreadsheets...just for fun.

 And they find practical solutions to everyday problems.

I really do love my boys!

Extending Summer a Smidge

A day off together: some time swimming laps with my love.
