We had an amazing weekend, with a lot of down time with the boys. We did a BBQ with Alisa and Holly. So relaxing, the boys drove their Tonka trucks around their property (with many cool trails) and we hung out and had adult conversation. Imagine that! Ended the evening with a campfire and s’mores. I had more fun poking the fire and listening to the boys hoot and holler. Carlos didn’t want s’mores but he ate his weight in chocolate!

We had our Sunday morning coffee at the Bakery with Margaret and saw Holly and Gabe down there as well. It’s such a great tradition, the boys know every Sunday that we go to the “pullapart house” to get breakfast and they love it.

Another thing we are working on here is having the big boys pee standing up. It doesn’t sound like much, but it is hard because we can’t really show them what to do. We threw Cheerios into the toilet and they thought it was fun to aim at them, and they get the idea of it. Levi thinks that he needs me to put Cheerios in the toilet every time he has to pee…I don’t think so! Levi would probably die of embarassment if he knew this picture of him was on the blog, but I was walking by the bathroom and saw him and it was adorable so I had to snap a photo.

Speech today was great, the first picture on the blog here is Carlos with Linda Raquer. He does so well with her and it really is amazing to watch him slow down and say words he doesn’t usually get out clearly. He still has a long way to go but I see huge progress being made and Carlos always looks forward to Mondays with Linda Raquer. She brings SUPER cool toys to play with, too and he loves her.

Other pictures….Dee got one of the Blue Angels smoke loop, she got to watch while the boys were napping and I was grocery shopping. We saw them practicing and they flew right over the house, the boys were in awe of the noise and the cool blue planes flying by. Also, Trey today was so wiped out after we took the big kids to swimming lessons that he crashed before lunch…pretty cute pic, though. That boy LOVES to sleep.
