Happy Birthday Xander

I finally got some new pictures posted. Including pictures of Xander's 2nd birthday. I can't believe he's so big already! He got quite a bit of outdoorsy stuff for his birthday, he's such an outdoorsy kind of kid. And, I wanted him to have something do to in our backyard besides just throw rocks.

Not a whole lot has been going on since my last post. We had a pretty laid back 4th of July. We grilled on a little charcoal grill in the backyard (our built in gas grill is still broken), and the kids played in a little wading pool we picked up at Wal Mart. We did do some sparklers, and then we drove around and saw some fireworks from the car.


The boys and I took a short trip to California and mostly visited my grandparents and my uncles, although we did go to my parents for a little while. Andrew actually went home with my mom that Saturday and had a sleepover at my parent's house. He had a really great time. Then on that Sunday, Xander and I went over and picked him up. My mom drove back to Vegas with me, and then she rode home with my dad when he came over on Wednesday for Xander's birthday. While we were in California we visited a children's museum that had some real police motorcycles, a police car and an ambulance that the kids could climb around in. They really had fun doing that.

And, as I already mentioned, Xander had a lot of fun on his birthday. He seemed really happy with all of his presents and the boys played outside in the wading pool again while we grilled hamburgers and hotdogs for dinner.

Now tomorrow is July 18th and Xander starts preschool. How crazy! I'm sure the first couple days will be a little hard on he and I both, but I know he'll love it once he adjusts. Andrew has done so well at that school.
