Noah's Graduation

Noah had the first of his 15 (if I calculated right) graduation ceremonies last night!



And the class performed a bunch of cute songs like "puff the magic dragon", "a doe-a-deer", and my personal favorite...


Chloe could sense all of the excitement and really enjoyed watching all of the music and wanted to join the other kids. She had a blast later going up and down all of the slides at the school's playground.



CONGRATULATIONS BIG BROTHER NOAH!

No more babies

Chloe seems so much older all of a sudden. She's definitely a toddler now. Even Noah tells me that she's not my baby any more. Here's my little one with bed head. She empties out her crib every morning and after every nap!

Happy Memorial Day 2009!

We headed out to Mill Valley to see the local parade. We were planning on being in the parade and handing out flyers with our church, but ran into a slight parking problem (and in some really steep hillsides!) so we watched along the sides with everybody else. Noah collected candy and liked watching the little kids do their karate moves.

We sat right around the town square and got a feel for this small town just south of where we live.

Our focus has been on getting the house in order so our grill is in need of much love after sitting outside neglected all winter. So we went to Marin Brewing Company after the parade for yummy burgers and spent about an hour letting the kids splash in the fountain at Larkspur landing. We got a few snide looks from the ducks that apparently have taken up residence! Then everyone went home and the kids crashed. Michael spent several hours below our house removing this evil, evil weed that creates foxtails that get stuck in Hux's fur. We just found out about them at his vet appointment. The foxtails have barbs on them that prevent the splinter portion from working its way out. They can work their way into an animals body so far that they cause damage to organs or eyes or eardrums. Hux had several locations that are so bad that he's going under tomorrow to have surgery for them to be removed. Poor Hux.

Daddy's little helper

Chloe's off and running and climbing and dumping now. She also loves to be with her daddy any time he is at home. We are turning our garage into a playroom and he was installing cabinets this weekend. Chloe made sure that she didn't miss a thing.

Face painting before bath time

Noah's discovered that eraserable markers are great for painting his face and body. Then he discovered how much more fun it is to paint on mommy...


Here he is when I have to take the markers away! Time for a bath Noah.

Doggy Wash

Our local pet shop has this amazing animal wash at the back of the store and we've been utilizing it to wash Huxley. For a $15 token you are able to wet, shampoo, condition and even dry your pet. Its perfect for us because we can leave the puddles and fur at the store and go home with a fluffy dog! Its worth every penny.




Chloe LOVES to play in the water so she'd jump right in the tub with Huxley if we didn't keep her strapped into her stroller.
