no trailer

I think Jon and I got excited about the perfect trailer that we jumped in without really thinking about how much it's going to cost to buy a brand spanking new trailer. So we are not going to buy it after all. I am a little sad because it would have been so much fun but I think we would have been bummed not being able to save for a rainy day.

Samantha and I went to her little Sulphur Creek class today. We got to see a toad, a chinchilla and a bunny hop. We pet the chinchilla and bunny but Sam didnt want to touch the toad at all. The chinchilla was soo softy. Very cool to watch the toad walk. We walked around and they have lots of animals there. We were up close to an owl and it had the coolest yellow eyes. I had never been so close to a owl before. They sure are neat birds with there heads being able to pretty much turn all the way around! Lisa stayed with the babies and she said it was a little crazy with two of them. She fed them both, very impressive! I sure love that one on one time with Sammy kay!

Food

Sydney and Courtney has there first taste of food today...Butternut squash! Sydney thought it was pretty good but Courtney wasnt really into it. Samantha thought the whole thing was neat but got mad at us becasue we werent going to let her feed them!

It sure was a fun weekend. Yesterday we went out to look at Rv trailers in Manteca and we ended up buying one! Yipee!! check it out http://www.starcraftrv.com/starcraft_travel_trailers/starcraft_xp_floorplans.html it's the 21RBH model...perfect for our little family. Hopefully we'll pick it up this weekend, sure am looking forward to some camping.
Last night we went to our friends the Muellers for dinner. Samantha and their son Jackson are around the same age so they had a blast together. They also have a daughter, Brooke, who is 4 days younger then the twins. It sure is fun having friends with kids the same age going through all the trial and tribulations together!
Today we had a picnic with all the families that were in my doubletalk class I took with the twins. Sure was neat to see everybody again and see how much everybody has grown. It was so fun to be at a park with all these other twins. I totally forgot to take pictures though!

Sydney found her thumb!

********************* Sam spent the day at Debbie's daycare so I did some chores around the house this morning. I sure am glad I have a couple days a week with Sam in daycare. I never thought I'd send my kid to daycare being a stay at home mom and all but boy is she exhausting. I dont think I could run errands with all three of them. This afternoon Julie, her son Dominic, the twins and I went to Mervyns super sale. I got Sammy Kay a few dresses. I figure those will be great once I start the potty training plus she really loves dresses. She's my little girlie girl, loves her hair in ponies but she does like to watch Hockey and Basketball with her Daddy! I got some one on one time with Sam tonight. We went to her gymnastics class. There was only one other little boy and his mom there so we had the whole gym to pretty much to ourselves. It sure was fun playing with her without having to tend with Syd and Cj. I haven't got to do that for awhile. The last few months of my pregnancy I couldnt really do anything physical with her and since the twins have beeen born I hadnt had any one on one time with her so it was awesome to be with jsut her...I need to do that more often. Tonight Sydney found her thumb! She even sucked it after her last feeding instead of me putting her bice in, lets hope she finds it in the middle of the night tonight. Last night was hell for us. At 1 am all 3 kids were crying and I was sooo tired I wanted to cry too! I swear I went into the twins room 5 x and jon went in a few times too...I finally jsut brought Sydney to bed with me and Samantha crawled in too, Courtney slept like a little angel in her own bed after 2 plugs of the paci.

off to work we go

hi ho hi ho it's off to work we go~

It was "Tke your daughter to work" today so Sam go to go to work with her Daddy. She was so excited. She picked out a pretty dress and even wore tights! She got to ride the "choo choo" (Bart) into the city. They had stuff all organized for them, she painted, colored and ate. I had to drive and get her. I'm not brave enough yet to take all 3 girls on the bart train! She cried when we left, she is such a Daddys girl! We met her best friend, Taylor, at the park on the way home so she was happy again. She did have a major blow out at the park and I didn't have any extra clothes so we had to leave with her only in diaper. So Gross...I think it's time for me to really start that potty training!!

bye bye c ya alyssa

We had to take Alyssa to the airport last night it was very sad. When we got home Samantha wanted her so bad. She wanted her to give her her bath and was bummed that she went to "Washington" Hopefully she'll be down for another visit soon...maybe with Alexa Kay?! We did make it to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch yesterday, that's something we've pretty much done everytime Alyssa comes down here. We usually go to the city but they just opened one in Pleasanton and thats so much closer.

hot night

All three girls had fevers in the middle of the night. It started with Samantha 102.4. Have no idea what that was about...she is totally fine this morning. It happened on Friday night too. Sydney had a little one 99.4 around 4. She was terrible for about an hour until I finally brought her to bed with me. After I put her back in her crib Cj decided she wanted to sleep with me. Her fever was 101.1. Poor little girls. I hate to give them all those vaccines but it's better then getting those terrible diseases...One bad night beats being really sick! Today should be a fun day once we get going...Sam's up now but the twins are still sleeping!

Dr. Selcer was very impressed with their growth, especially are little pumpkin. Cj is just our little petite girl but is doing really well. It's time to start the solids!
They had their shots and they both cried and cried. It was really hard to do by myself because I wanted to hold them each afterwards and I really couldn't do it on my own. When we got them home I gave them both some tylenol and breast fed and they were much happier. Cj took a good little nap as you can see but the pumpkin wouldnt stay asleep.
