Mason counting to ten

Mason loves to count to ten and he can even recognize numbers up to ten. Watch him count and then in the middle of counting he sees a taxi and then goes right back to counting.

Mason and Shea's first trip to the snow

Our family went to Big Bear to see our first snow. It was perfect weather!!! Snow on the way up the mountain, with big white snowflakes, and sunny all day Sat and Sun.

Listening to No Dinosaur for Tea

Shea's ABC's

This was Shea less then one year ago. Listen to this post and then listen to the next post- Wow what a difference.



Shea can not only count to 15, but he can say and recognize all the letters of the alphabet. Listen to my smart little boy. Original Date 2/15/08

Shea's ABC's take 2

Here is Shea saying his ABCs almost one year later. What a difference a year makes. I can not wait until next year to see what he can do.



Make sure you watch the other one first.

Mason Reading

Mason loves to read this book over and over again just like Shea.

Happy New Year

Have a Blessed Year to all our friends and family.
Don't forget to go to the bottom of the blog to turn off the music so you can hear the boys.

Noon Years Eve

Today we went to the New Years Eve Party at the Discovery Science Center. We had a great time.

Boys in the Dinosaur section of the center

We made some rockets

We got to see what bats see

We got to hear what bats hear

We did experiments


We made Party Hats and said Cheers!


They even had a count down with falling balloons.

Merry Christmas

Every year since Shea was born Scott has had to work on Christmas. This year was no different, needless to say my boys enjoy every minute of their time at the Fire Station. After the fire station visit we went to Grandma Gail's house and had some cousin fun.
