5/31/2012 - Aloha

From Drop Box

We attended Finn's 2nd Luau at Chatham School today. It was fun to see the kids all dressed up and performing the cute songs that he has been practicing for weeks. I got to meet some of his buddies. It was so fun!!!! I love seeing him in his element and getting to meet all his playmates that he talks about all of the time. So great!

5/30/2012 - Bunk Shelves

From Drop Box

Liam figured out how to open up the cabinet. He is helping to rearrange the tupperware. Finn also discovered a new place for Liam and him to bunk. Life is going to get a little messy! Yikes.

5/28/2012 - Kidfest

From Drop Box

By chance, I discovered that there was a Kidfest festival going on in a nearby town. It was a great discovery. We went on rides, ate yummy food, held a cute little puppy, played games and Finn got the quintessential child's treat of a ginormous lollipop. The end to a perfect weekend of family and friends. Feeling so blessed!

5/27/2012 - Winetasting in Sonoma

From Drop Box

We had a lovely day in Sonoma, hitting up two wineries and indulging in some great food and drink. Altogether, I feel like the Bachelorette was a huge success. So so happy!

5/26/2012 - Bubbly Flight

From Drop Box

Day one of Beth's Bachelorette started with a flight of delish bubbly and good convo. Fabulous. A preview to the rest of our amazing weekend!

5/25/2012 - Mr. Smiles

From Drop Box

Our little Liam has been such a smiley happy baby as of late. So happy to have captured this cute, though blurry photo of our happy boy!

5/24/2012 - Sunglass Sam

From Drop Box

Ok, sorry for two days of Finn sunglass photos, but lately with work and life being rather hectic, this is the only photo that could take. It is rather cute. Today, he dons my J Lo Aviators. Cute, right?

5/23/2012 - Too sunny

From Drop Box

Lately, the weather has been so warm and nice. The only downside is that it is really bright and sunny in the mornings. Finn definitely is not a morning person and when the bright sun beats down on his little tired eyes, all he wants to do is throw on his shades and go back to sleep. Oh and tell the paparazzi mom to stop taking pictures.

5/22/2012 - Doctors Office Debauchery

From Drop Box

I took Liam to the pediatrician today for his 15 month check up. Those two boys got into nothing by trouble running around the doctor's office. I love seeing that they are playing together a ton. They happened upon the smallest little nook in the examination room to hide in before the doctor showed up with the shots. Immunization shots that is.

5/20/2012 - Pool Party

From Drop Box

Our neighbors bought a kiddie pool so the kids could enjoy the warm weather properly. Liam loved the pool so much he dove in fully clothed. Guess we have a water baby on our hands!!

5/19/2012 - Spiderman

From Drop Box

Today, Dylan was parading around in costume and I just happened to have a Spiderman Costume in the trunk of my car. Finn joined the fun and ran around shooting webs at everyone. He is the cutest Spiderman that I have ever seen.

5/15/2012 - Cutie Bootie

From Drop Box

So, Jesse has been gone since yesterday and I feel like a champ for single parenting my two wild little boys. They have been super well behaved and sweet. After a dual bath, love bathing them at the same time, Finn tried on all of the shoes in the shoe shelf. Since I couldn't capture a picture quickly enough of him in my rain boots, I got one of him wearing my boot as a hat. So lucky to have two such fun, well behaved kids.

5/14/2012 - Playing the baby game

From Drop Box

Lately Finn has really been into something he calls the baby game. He plays the baby girl. Liam plays the big brother. I play the mama and Jesse plays the papa. It's kind of cute and sad at the same time. Because sometimes he goes into his role as the baby girl when he has done something wrong to Liam. For example, if he hits Liam, he says "Liam knows better because he is the big brother. I am just the baby girl." I think sometimes he just wants a little extra attention because we pay so much attention to Danger Mouse. Today, we had a sweet game of the baby game in our bed. Big brother and little sister calmed down enough to snuggle and pose for a pic.

5/13/2012 - Mullet be gone

From Drop Box

We took Liam for a haircut today. I always forget how much older they look when you cut off their baby curls. I swear he looks like a different boy with the mullet gone. He was so well behaved and pretty much sat still the entire time as papa held him in the haircutting chair. So handsome!

5/12/2012 - Bachelor Pad

From Drop Box

We spent the afternoon at my good friend's father's bachelor pad near Auburn, CA. He had the most beautiful home with gorgeous views. It was the definition of what a bachelor pad would be. Huge bathroom with stand up shower (as Finn said, you could fit 10 people in there) and a large jacuzzi tub. One room was his sports and entertainment room with a huge Tim Lincecum in the closet. It was cute to pose Finny next to the picture. The kids enjoyed splashing around in his pool. Such a nice day.

5/11/2012 - Mother's Day

From Drop Box

Finn made me the most beautiful jewelry box at Preschool for Mother's day. He was so proud of the evenly spaced stickers. I will treasure it for the rest of my life. Loving all the beautiful art that the kids create at Chatham. Everyday Finn is becoming a better and better drawer.

5/10/2012 - Watergun fun

From Drop Box

Dylan bought Finn a matching watergun and the boys enjoyed running around and shooting everyone up with water on a warm Spring evening. Love this picture of my sweet boy.

5/9/2012 - Evening Relaxation

From Drop Box

Finn enjoyed some Netflix time watching Busytown Mysteries, while Liam enjoyed some evening exercise, frantically rocking the chair for pure amusement. That boy can be so crazy sometimes.

5/8/2012 - Good eater

From Drop Box

Our little Liam sure does love food. He enjoyed an early bath and early snack before retiring to bed.

5/7/2012 - Cuddly Boys

From Drop Box

The boys enjoyed a bedtime snack and a cuddle. I love that they have cuddle time every once in awhile. So cute. Getting calmer and sweeter every day.

5/6/2012 - Sushi Eater

From Drop Box

We did an early Mother's Day lunch with Baachan today at Mitama. We always knew that Liam was a good eater, but we never realized how adventurous he would be. Little man consumed 4 sushi rolls, 2 potstickers and a couple pieces of my Chicken Katsu. Ah, I love it. I love the joy he gets when he eats good food. Watching him enthusiastically stuff an entire sushi roll in his mouth was the highlight of my weekend!

5/5/2012 - Little Kicker

From Drop Box

Soccer is going so well for our little Finny. We did find out today that our amazing coach, Coach Evan is going to be leaving the program to go to college. He has been the most enthusiastic and fun coach yet. I hope that next season we can get a coach as fun as Evan.

5/4/2012 - Single Parenting Madness

When one parent is so sick and out of commission, it's virtually impossible to do anything but try to maintain sanity. Poor Jesse seems to have developped a Stomach Flu of some kind and has been sleeping the whole day away. I hate it when he is sick. All I want to do is make him feel better, but with viruses, there is really nothing that you can do. Crossing my fingers that he feels better soon!

5/3/2012 - Cars 1 vs Cars 2

From Drop Box

Cars 1 cars do not mingle with the Cars 2 cars. They can't and they don't because they are completely different movies. My cute and particular Finn. In order to play with his Pixar cars, you need to be able to differentiate the two kinds of cars. Thank god I studied the Meet the Cars book. Keeps me on the Pixar Cars game.

5/2/2012 - Brotherly cuddles

From Drop Box

Those boys may be as different as can be, but they sure have the same fun loving laughter. I tried to capture the boys playing on the floor. You can't see Liam's face, but he is laughing too. Just too silly brothers thoroughly enjoying each other's company.

5/1/2012 - Cool cool kid

From Drop Box

On the drive to Baachan's it was way to sunny for Finn not to wear his shades. This totally cracks me up. That kid is too cute.

4/30/2012 - Monday Evening Laughs

From Drop Box

Everyone had a great day at school with good naps and were rested and ready to party at home. Love warm evenings with lots of fun with my smiley kids.
