Tristan's Last game and 1st Trophy.

So not much to say. Tristan had his last Game of the season and got his first Trophy. Here are some pictures.

iT has been awhile..

So the other day Mark asked if I had updated the blog. I said of course. Well then I looked at it has been a few weeks. So trying to remember things that are not on my camera is going to be hard. So lets see what I can remember and come up with. To start with although it is almost summer and should be warm, we have had a longer then normal June Gloom here in Southern California. So no real swimming yet. On top of it we have had a few storms that have come through with Thunder and Lightening and started 2 small fires on the hills but both put out right away. We love that type of weather here. With the cooler then normal temps the kids have been out riding their bikes almost daily. Tristan is a pro on his bike. Allyson wants nothing to do with taking off her training wheels and Gavin will not get on his big bike. The forecast looks good and should start to warm up soon we hope.

Random Pictures of the kids.

Allyson loves to climb.

Tristan "How you doing?"

All about Tristan!!

Well, after only 6 tries, Dad was successful in getting Tristan to ride his bike without training wheels. He is so proud of himself and wants to ride everyday.

Tristan all by himself.









Dad hanging out just in case. No need he is doing so well!

Look mom no training wheels!

Just one last picture!

The Rooms are finished!!!

Well we took this long weekend as an opportunity to get some unfinished work done. The Kids Rooms. We got the wall stickers in the mail this week. I did not get the camera out until after we were just about done. We moved the boys into the room Allyson was in and vice verse.

Here are the pictures of Allyson's new room.

This is Allyson's sticker with a dancing Barbie.

She has a Tinker Bell wall clock with a plaque with her name.

This is her dressing station with hooks on the wall. Dad was not happy with the holes in his wall. Oh well it had to be done.

The boys plaques are sports. You can hardly make out Gavin's name.

Tristan wanted Optimus Prime.

Dad putting it up.

Gavin wanted Batman.

Above the bunk beds are little Optimus Prime and Batman stickers.

Although the kids have not adjusted to their new rooms and want to move back they do love the new decorations.

It has been awhile!!

I realized the other day that it has been a while since I posted anything. We have had a few things happening. First we did not get the school transfer that we were really hoping for. We are on the waiting list but are not holding our breath. We drove by the school that the kids will be going to and showed them the play ground. We will keep driving by so it is not a hard transition for them. We are hoping that they will be separated into different classes. We will have to wait until closer to the new school year to find out. I know they will be fine and are more then ready to start, but these are my first to go to school so I am allowed to be sentimental, Right??

I had a wonderful Mothers day. Since we have early church on Sunday (9am) and Dad and the kids wanted to get me breakfast in bed or take me out, we celebrated it on Saturday. I got to sleep in and got breakfast in bed. My favorite part is that the kids eat most of it. They each had a bite and were off to the other room for their breakfast. They each brought me home a key chain picture, one in the frame and a cookie. They love to draw and make cards. We had lunch at Grandpa and Grandma Collins house and got to swim for the first time this year.

We also got a new family picture! Which has been added to our blog and new pictures of the kids. Our kids are not camera shy at all. They love to get their pictures taken.

Well not much more then that. Before you know it will be summer and I for one can not wait for the warm weather to be around for more then just a day or two. This year we hope to teach Gavin to swim!! Wish us luck.

Random Stuff for the 3rd week of April.

Well the 2 days went by and dad took the kids back to the doctor to have their TB test read. We are happy to confirm (never a question) that they are TB free. Gavin even wanted to have his read. So girl at the office looked at his arm and confirmed to him that he is good. Won't he be surprised next year when he really has to get it done.

On Friday mom took the rest of the paper work down to the district office and confirmed that the twins are all enrolled in school. Not sure which school since we are trying to get them transferred to a different school for daycare purposes.

On Sunday morning Mark woke up at around 7am and did not hear the kids who are normally up by that time or earlier. So he walked out to the hall and looked in the boys room. No sign of them. Still not hearing anything he walks to Allyson's room to see all three sitting on her bed with the blankets over their legs playing Candy Land. Of course he did not get a picture of this. He admits that he does not think of these things. Anyways he left them alone and went back to bed for another 30 minutes. They stayed really quiet!!

All three have really been helping mom out around the house. They help taking sheets off the beds and try to help putting them back on, but mom ends up doing it herself. They love to fold towels. Well Allyson and Tristan are really good at that, Gavin just rolls them in a ball and hands them back to me. They love to wash windows. They are trying really hard to remember without being told to put their shoes and clothes away. That is hit and miss.

I noticed that I did not have a post for a few days, so I thought I would just put a few random things out there. Enjoy.
