New Trampoline

The kids have been wanting a trampoline for a few years. Today, with help from Grandma & Papa, that dream came true. We set it up and oh were they happy.  

Swim Party

Lexi was invited to a birthday party for her friend, Lauren.  She had a swim party in her backyard.  It is still a little on the chilly side here for swimming (about 80 degrees), so they heated up the pool. Lexi got to wear one of her new swimsuits.

Inflatables

We met some friends at one of the inflatables places here. The kids got to jump themselves into exhaustion, while the moms got to catch up.

Enjoying the Christmas Spoils

This week has been about getting back into routines with a new twist thanks to all of the spoils of Christmas. The Wii has been fun. Below, you can see Lexi working on her ski jumps. First, she is bending her knees to go down the slope. Then, she is stretching out to make a perfect landing. They have also loved the other new toys. Of course, we are still going to the YMCA almost every day.

Just Playing

We have had amazing weather lately. Even though I have a deadline for work, I am making sure that we spend as much time outside as possible. Yesterday, we went to the park. Nothing special happened, but I snapped a few pictures.

Oma's Pumpkin Patch

Several months ago, I went on to Meetup.com and found a group called Single Parents. The idea is to announce get-togethers. So far, everything has been about the parents getting together for a night out. I haven't been interested. A week ago, they announced a single parent/kids outing at Oma's Pumpkin Patch, so I RSVPd Yes. Grandma Margie thought is sounded fun and came along too. The group didn't really stick together, but we met another mom with a 3.5 year old boy that we hung out with. She moved here about a week ago. We had fun getting to know them and enjoying the activities.

SD County Fair

Yesterday, Paige and I took the kids to the San Diego County Fair. I don't feel like blogging lately, so I will let the pictures speak for themselves.
