5 Yrs 11 Mo!

CET are just one month shy of 6 years old, I can't believe it!!!
And not to mention kindergarten is just two days away, eeek!

Shark Boy

Thomas a.k.a. Shark boy!

So Thomas' loose tooth is still hanging on pretty good (not loose enough to pull anytime soon) and now his new tooth popped up behind it! I looked it up and I guess this is pretty common. They call it shark teeth, ha! It happens when the root of the baby tooth has not yet dissolved. It's not a big deal but he might have to have the loose tooth pulled but they it often times happens in pairs. So it may happen again with his neighboring tooth and it's suggested I just wait on it and have both teeth pulled at the same time so he doesn't have to go through it twice (or in our case 6 times!). Now Eli's tooth is loose but his is the right one (Caleb and Thomas both have their left tooth loose). I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens!

I have lots of stuff to update on like summer time fun, back to school events, our convention and lots of changes but I've been busy adulting in between with not lots of time to blog! Hopefully things get resolved soon so I can get back to worrying less but it's not looking good after spending two hours on the phone this morning and NOTHING has been cleared up....sometimes it sucks being an adult : (

Did You Hear?

Did you hear about the identical triplets competing in the Olympics? I'm tickled pink by it!

Camping 2016

We are so happy our favorite camping spot didn't burn down two summers ago during all those fires! We even skipped coming last summer because we thought it had burned down...

Buggin' out cause we're camping!

Eli bought this net so he could catch fish, ha!
I actually managed to catch a tiny fry with it.
So I guess he was right : )

Thomas

Chilly morning

On our hike to the lake.

Caleb, happy we made it to the lake. 

Thomas doing a little fishing.

My sweet peas : )

We had a great time with our camping crew!

5 Years 10 Months!

CET are 5 years and 10 months old!
I can't get over how mature their faces look, such big kids!

Just thought it was cute how Caleb is decked out with all his bells and whistles (watch and wallets). And not to mention he picked out his own clothes too! 

The boys graduated from Penguins to Otters! They improved so much in this session of swim classes. They needed to be able to do a front glide for at least 5 feet and hold a back float for at least 5 seconds. 

Funny story, so Phil took the boys to ride their bikes around the neighborhood the other day. Then later on I'm sitting on my bed when Eli comes walking in looking very somber. I ask him whats wrong like 3 or 4 times with out any response other than some more light whimpering (he wasn't crying). Then he slowly turns his head to reveal his injury to me and of course I react by saying "my baby!" and hugging him. Then it's full on crying by Eli. He had crashed into a retaining wall while riding his bike. After a while I go and tell Phil about how Eli revealed his injury to me and as soon as I finish Eli busts out laughing! It was pretty comical in retrospect, haha!

Changes!

I cannot believe July is almost over! This means we really only have one month left of summer before school starts. How can this be? Life is flying by and I'm a bag of mixed emotions. On the one hand I'm excited for the boys to start kindergarten, I know they will enjoy school so much. More so because they are super social and really enjoy friends. Although I know they will do so well academically too. Then on the other hand I'm so sad that our time together full time is coming to an end. I'm sure gonna miss my little buddies! It will be a big change for all of us!

Speaking of changes, we discovered Thomas has a pretty loose tooth! Caleb's same tooth is also loose but it's not as loose as Thomas' (bottom front LEFT tooth). What's funny is that just a couple months ago the dentist assured me that they wouldn't be loosing any teeth for at least 6 months to a year, ha!

Another big change is that the boys no longer take naps! Can you believe it? I got them to nap till they were well over 5 and a half years old! As of mid June when we left for California, because napping on vacation is well...inconvenient, haha! I could still easily have them nap but I figured I'd let them get used to the schedule before starting Kindergarten when they'll have no option to nap, ha! Phil and I have really been enjoying the earlier bedtime too : )

Caleb looking so sweet : )

A couple weekends ago we had a garage sale at a friends house. It was cool and cloudy so the lemonade stand didn't do quite as well as last years when it was almost 100 degrees! They still raked in a good $30 though : )

After a hard day manning their lemonade stand we went out to pizza!

Brother time : )

Cali Trip Pt B

For our B part of the trip we stayed in Davis to visited with family and we even got to go wine tasting in Napa!

Caleb with mama Sue

At V. Sattui, one of our favorite wineries!
And lucky for us the guy attending to us was his last day so our 6 wine tastings turned into 12, ha!

All the Pittsenbarger men (minus uncle Garret)!

The best way to travel!

TEC, hanging out

Of course whenever we visit Davis we are always "graced" with 100+ degree weather : (
I guess its a good thing they have an awesome community pool!

My little fishies!

We stayed at the pool for hours!
It was the only way we could cope in this heat : )

Papi and his boys : )

Short two grand kids : )
