Sacramento Railroad Museum

So March 27th was a free day at the train museum. We couldn't pass that up! It's always a fun visit. We love to see all the different types of trains and the history of railroad. The family pic is next to one of the largest trains. It's ron's favorite but I have to say it's a bit intimidating to me. The upstairs is great. It's all model and toy trains. It ends with a play table of Thomas the Tank engine trains. It's so fun to watch the boys. They love it! It's such a fun time!

Jaxen's First Dental Appointment

March 24th was Jaxens first trip to the dentist. He did so good! As a mom you always worry whether your child will be way to upset, scream, cry, etc. But Jaxen was so brave. He sat on the chair all by himself. He opened up his mouth and let his teeth be cleaned, checked all that. He wasn't upset at all and listened and did what he was asked by the dental assistant and dentist. He was so cute! Of course I think the T.V. and movie on the ceiling helped. He loved that! He watched "Horton hears a who". No cavities! Yeah!!!! We are so proud of him! Everyone was so impressed how well he did that they gave him a balloon, stickers and his toothbrush and toothpaste. He also got his first flosser. Now at night when we brush teeth before bed he always asks for his flosser too. I love watching him grow!

Kati and Calcifer

Kati and Calcifer have become one of my favorite practice models for my photography. They are both so easy going that they just sit there and let me click away. These were taken infront of our back door. I thought the lighting and shadows were great. I had to find new models because Jaxen will now run away from me if he sees my camera. Little does he know I can still be sneaky.

Kaeryn's First Award

Kaeryn wrote an essay for the "peace essay" contest earlier this year. She wrote it on racism and was selected as one of the finalists. March 19th she was invited to the awards ceremony. She recieved a certificate and a tee shirt. It was very exciting! We are so proud of her!

Time to catch up!

I am so behind. Life has been a bit busy for us. So here it goes..........

My Gaming Family!

I thought this was hilarious yet so prescious! It all started out with Ron sitting down to play his game on his playstation 3. Jaxen loves to watch daddy play so he climbed onto daddy's lap. Tristan wanted to suggle to so he climbed onto daddy's lap while playing he DS and Kaeryn had to take part in it as well and get the game she's playing on the daddy's DS and sit with daddy as well. So before I knew it they were all together playing and watching eachothers games. It was so cute I had to get a photo of it. Definitly a happy memory!

Daddy's Shirt!

Shortly after Jaxen was born Ron's mom sent us a package. One of the things in the package was this shirt. Ron smiled and was so excited. This was his shirt when he was little. He said he remembered this being his favorite shirt. I thought it was a prescious gift. I also thought it would be neat to have a photo of Jaxen in his daddy's shirt. I've been waiting for the shirt to fit ever since he was born. I saw it the other day and realized that now the shirt fits and I better get the photo now before it's too late. Perfect timing! Jaxen was getting ready for bed so I slipped the shirt on before he got his jammies on. So cute! He looks adorable as always! I'm so happy I remembered and was able to get a memory of Jaxen in Daddy's Shirt!
