Random Cuteness

Mason is an amazing reader.  The other night he offered to read Archie his bedtime story.

Preschoolers are so cute

We finally got a Berkey Water Filter!  We've wanted one since we were married and I finally found one at a garage sale for $20!

We have been loving our summer already!  This is my friend's family lake.  So amazing!

Sacramento Train Museum

About a month ago, we had the opportunity to go to the Sacramento Train Museum.  I wasn't really expecting much, but it was so amazing!  There were real trains that we were able to tour and toy trains for the boys to play with.  There was even a train that, when you stepped into it, it felt like it was moving.  It was so cool!  It was a really fun afternoon and we can't wait to go back.

We were so impressed with these HUGE trains!

Archie was looking at his map the whole time, telling us where to go next. :)

So many trains!

Mason's 6th Birthday Party

Mason turned 6 on May 10th and he invited his whole class to come celebrate!  He requested a Star Wars party.  He had a Darth Vader pinata, homemade light sabers, and an R2D2 cake.  It was such a fun party!
(Many thanks go to my friend, Carla, for these amazing pictures).

Lots of goodie bags!

Our pinata was falling apart prematurely, so we had to duct tape it back together.

Diving right in for the goodies!

He had a little help from a friend. :)

Funderland!

Riding the Carousel

For Spring Break, we took a trip to Sacramento and went to Funderland!  It's no Disneyland, but there are a handful of rides that the boys had so much fun going on.  To make it even more fun, my brother and his family were able to join us.

Flying with Dad

This was Archie's favorite ride.  He went on it with whomever didn't have a seat partner. :)

Violet and Archie

Archie was the only one who was small enough for this ride. :)

Such good drivers!

I take it back.  This was Archie's favorite ride.  Archie loved this little roller coaster.  He went on it a few times.

Having so much fun!
