Tyler is potting training. So far, he’s doing a good job. We’ve only had a few accidents. He loves wearing his underwear!

Last night, Pinkberry was giving away small sizes of two new flavors: passion fruit and coconut between 5-9pm. After dinner, we rushed over to Santana Row and got there around 8:50. The line went all the way to the end of the block and curved around slightly. It looked long, but moved fairly quickly. We weren’t in line for more than 15-20 mins. They decided to extended the “free” period until 11pm so we got lucky.

Last Saturday, Tyler had his first dentist appointment. Natalie also had a check up that morning. She went first so we could show Tyler what to expect. Only Natalie didn’t do that good of a job and ended up crying towards the end and the dentist didn’t get to finish applying sealant to her teeth. Tyler however did a great job and let them do the work they needed to do, although he bit the dentist a few times!

We went to Sophia Tapp’s 1st birthday party today at Chevy’s. The kids had fun feeding chips to the ducks outside. They also hired a very talented balloon artist.

The menu: I ordered shrimp fajitas, Nat got a cheeseburger, Tyler got cheese quesadillas, and David got the shrimp and crab enchiladas.

After the party, we stopped at Sports Authority to look at bikes.

Uncle J brought Paigow and Nina over to play last Sunday. The kids had fun playing with them in the backyard.

The kids got bored and decided to make the coffee table into a bunkbed.

Natalie turned 5 last saturday. We celebrated by having a party at home and invited some friends and family. Natalie was very excited to have a party in our new house.

After the cake, the kids enjoyed wacking a hello kitty pinata outside. They were excited to fill their bags full of candy.

Happy Birthday Natalie!

Natalie’s last day of gymnastics class at the Little Gym was on Monday. Each child did their own routines in each of the sections and then at the end there was a small awards ceremony. Natalie was sick all weekend and stayed home sick on Monday too, but she wanted to go to the last session so we went. While she was doing her routines, she started feeling sick again — probably over exerting herself — so she wasn’t having as much fun as the other kids.

Tyler seems to have found a new favorite toy. He’s been calling her “his baby.”

While I was getting ready to write this blog, Tyler brought his baby and one other toy to my room and sat on my bed to watch TV with me. He put his baby on my bed too. I started to move around and he warned me “Don’t knock over my baby mommy!”
