My mom's group went to this indoor park called the jungle with the kids. They loved it.
Brett and I went to a mustache party that the 1st year students put on. Man there were some good ones, unfortunately my camera battery died so I can't show them to you.
Brett and I left Chloe with Cadence and her parents and we headed up to Clear lake to go camping and wake boarding. However, Brett and I did not partake in the wake boarding this time. Still, it was so much fun and a much needed break from Chloe.
We recently took Chloe to a park in Benicia. It is a really neat park with an amazing wood structure for the kids to play on, but I think that she might have been too young for it. She did have fun none the less playing in the sand, swinging on the swing, going down her slide and watching the bigger kids play tag.

Brett has been doing very well in school. He is in the top 1/4 of his class and is involved in a few different clubs at the school. He is the Secretary of the Sports Medicine club, but lately has been acting like the VP when it comes to getting things done. In the next few weeks he will start taking a prep course for the "big test" or boards that he will be taking in the spring. So all of his extra time will be spent prepping for that test from here on out. Poor guy will never see the light of day.
I am doing great. I have been really involved with my mom's group and that has kept me sane while being down here. We get together at least 2 times a week for park play dates and a walk along the water front. Since it is fall and Halloween is coming up, we are planning on going to a pumpkin patch with the kids, having a carving and costume party a few days later, and possibly even go trick-or-treating with some of the families as well. Oh I am so glad that I found this group.
I have become close with 4 of the moms in the group. We started meeting for coffee every Thursday night at about 8pm after the kids go down. It is so nice being able to get out of the house and just be with the girls and gossip and just be girls, not moms or wives.
Chloe is getting bigger and bigger by the day. Currently she is loving to twirl around until she gets dizzy, color, wear my shoes and walk around in them, play at the park, go down slides, swing, dance to music, read books with us or by herself, and play with her baby dolls and stuffed animals. She still loves to be held and snuggled and kissed. I think that she is the only one in her play group who would rather be in the arms of an adult than off playing with a toy. I am enjoying this while it lasts.
Her and Cadence are such a hand full now but oh so adorable. They are truly interacting with each other now. Yesterday we colored pictures together, read about 40 books, and danced to some music and boy do they like to dance. They act like sisters, best friends, and worst enemies at times. I am so glad that they have each other.
Ok she is waking up from her nap now so I must run. I will try and post more later!
