California Dreaming and Arizona Sweating!

Back in June, we spent 2 weeks visiting family in Arizona. We did a little road trip to California to get a little beach time. Here are some favorites from that trip.

Monster Trucks Rule!

We spent our Saturday night at the Monster Truck show down in Colorado Springs. Nothing could be more boy than that! The boys loved watching the trucks demolish the beat up cars, the dirt bikes fly through the sky (with one breath-taking crash), and the countless wheelies. Though I never would have thought of myself as a "Monster Truck Mom", I had just as much fun as the boys! One of my favorites was when people took their own beat up cars out and ran it through the course. Maybe I'll take the XTerra out in a few years!

We'll remember the ear plugs next time

Pretty glad we sold the dirt bike after seeing a guy crash on this jump!

This car didn't make it too far before smoke was coming out of it's engine!

First Day of Kindie!

Doing his first assignment

Well sort of! Today was a "Practice" first day of kindergarten. Half of the class came for 1 hour to meet with the teacher and play outside. After a restless night's sleep (for me!) we headed off for the big adventure. Not wanting to admit his nervousness, I gave B a challenge to meet one new kid and tell me his name. Well, he came back with 3 new friends. I hope we're off to a good start for a great school year!

Showing off the new backpack!

In front of the school. Notice his new socks!

It was a double thumbs up day.
