Trey is now pulling himself up! He’s had quite the exciting developments in the last couple weeks. It’s amazing how fast he’s growing up. He’s pretty darn proud of himself, too!

Dominic’s now potty trained, he’s really ahead of schedule with it all and we couldn’t be happier. One less diaper to change is such a bonus (as well as saving us money). We’re struggling a bit with waking up in the morning and being dry, but all in all he’s done and so jazzed about his big boy underwear.

Today we have Jefferson here playing (he’s 6 months old) and Trey loves having another baby here. Don’t worry..we’re not having more. 🙂

We are SO loving working in the garden…yesterday was just gorgeous and we hauled the crew outside to play while we worked. I did lots of pruning in the orchard and Dee was busy rototilling the garden. The boys were happy that I finally took the lid off the sandbox so they could play.

At noon we met up with my mom at the swimming pool with the boys. This was Trey’s first time in the pool and he really loved it. Dominic and Carlos had a blast jumping off the side and going on the “lazy river”. We grabbed some burgers and came home for a picnic in the front yard, then put the kids to bed and went out to work some more. My folks came over for dinner and then Dee and I got the coupons sorted and into my filing box, I got my grocery list ready for shopping today and we hung out watching tv until bedtime.

Woke up this morning to rain…arrgh. So much for our plans to work in the yard today. We’ll take the boys to church and then I’ll head off to Safeway and Albertsons! We’ll see how much I can save today….

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BETH AND GRANT!

Big news today is that Trey is crawling, I mean he’s been crawling backward for awhile now but he’s moving forward now. We’re in trouble! It’s fun, though, he can crawl a little and then pull himself into a sitting position again. So he can now get to the toys he wants to play with.

I’ve been spending most the day loading our cd collection into my NEW mp3 player. I’ve never had an mp3 player before so I’m jazzed. It was great to drive with a ton of music at my fingertips. Dee had fun being the dj for sure. I’m researching music download sites so if anyone has an opinion, please don’t hesitate to share, I’m a rookie at this!

Faith, Nate and Connor came over to play this morning so it was a busy, busy day. We went out to dinner tonight with our Foster Parent group so that was fun to see everyone. The kids were great, they are really getting good in restaurants. We may be able to go out with friends again, yippee!!!!
