Sing Cameron, Sing

Cameron had a music performance at the high school last night. They (the 1st graders) sang "Head, Shoulder, Knees & Feet" in English, Spanish & French. Quite impressive! He liked going up on that stage.

He's the cute one in the middle :)


Watching the other grades perform

Who needs snow?

Who needs snow when you have a small slope covered with grass and mud. The boys had a ball sliding down this in the snow saucers. Ahh, it's the little things.., does make us itch to head to the snow.

We spent the day at the Railroad Museum in Sacramento with Aunite Becky & Cousin Ethan. We toured all sorts of old trains - it was amazing how many trains were in this museum. The kids loved running around and climbing in the train cars. Here are Cameron & Cooper hoping to not get run over by the huge train coming down the tracks.


In one of the cars.


Who knew we were old railroad family?

Now That's Old!

That's one big, old tree


It was a beautiful warm day, so we decided to go to the coldest, darkest place in Sonoma County, Armstrong Woods - home of some amazing redwood trees and cool hiking trails.

Inauguration '09

In honor of the Inauguration Cameron's class dressed in red, white & blue. Cooper decided to wear his blue "dress up" dockers and his red Petal, MS. shirt - to honor the Petal Band, Billy's old band from MS, who is playing the the Inauguration Parade today. How cool is that?! I wish Billy were there!

Mom, Dad & the kids (minus Billy)

Falling
Trying not to fall

Pretending we are slipping off the rocks

Ahh, safe

Dad & Boys

Looks like he's saving Cameron from being sucked out to sea.

Cooper's turn

Chasing Dad

Cameron named this seal rock, looks like the one sleeping on the beach.

Can they make it?
Yes, they can!

Rock climbing fun.

Beach or Bust

Playing around

Elephant Seal napping on the beach

Cooper asked "how'd the tractor get off the beach without a tire", Cameron tried to explain it washed up from a ship.

Time for some lunch. We found an Oysters in the 1/2 Shell Shack on the side of the road, but the kids opted for hot dog's and grilled cheese.

We spent Sunday at Point Reyes Beach (well, after our 1 hour detour when we realized we had no gas only to find out we had been less than a mile from a gas station...arrggh). It was beautiful. We ate lunch along the way and played at the beach. We had set out to tour a nearby lighthouse but found out due to whale watching season, a busy 3 day weekend is the wrong time to do that. Instead we walked the beach and enjoyed the waves.

In the bowl

Heading into the skate park to try out the boards for the first time.

Both of them in the bowl.

We hooked up with some of Cameron's friends and hit the skate park after school on Wednesday. It was their first time skateboarding. They are both getting the hang of it. Even some of the older kids at the park will stop and give some pointers. They were loving it and we went again yesterday after school and are headed there again this morning (once all the frost melts).

FA LA LA

Cooper is back in music class and enjoying playing instruments, singing & dancing.

What 83 degrees?!

Wow, it was 83 degrees yesterday. Crazy! We decided to take advantage of it, threw some shorts on and went on bike ride.

Cool Tree

We just love this apple tree. It is so cool how all the other trees are so bare and this one still has these red apples on it. We pass this on our daily golf cart route and finally decided to snap some pix.

We found snow

Our friends daughter Shelby took the kids on a ride where we discovered snow. It was Cooper's first snow. The mountain in the background was beautiful with the snow cover.

Our attempt at a snowman...we called it a snowblob.

Seeing how far down the hill we could throw. I was getting a bit nervous one of them were gonna end up going down.

They were trying to peg me...good thing I had the better aim.

Ride Cameron, Ride

Cameron out enjoying his bike.
