Christmas in March!?!?!

So you are probably wondering why you are seeing a couple of pictures that look a little...well, Christmasy.  :)  We have been so busy this year that jumping on the blog just has not been a possibility.  But we have a little bit of a pause in our lives right now and so I wanted to catch up a little.  So I will catch you up on these fun SLO holiday vacation pictures, AJ first swim lesson pictures, and of course Jake's wonderful 4th Birthday Pictures.  So before I start talking to much about now...lets revisit the beginning of January.  :D

When we went to Pa Wayne and Grandma Peg's house after Christmas my kids fell in love with Grandma's dancing Christmas tree...they thought it was so much fun that we often had to hide it.  :)

The boys really had a good time with this classic fishing toy!

Before we left, we took the boys to the Children's Museum and they of course had a fantastic time.  AJ found something with balls...so he of course was very happy.  :)

 Firefighter AJ

 ...and a very cute Firefighter at that.  :D

 AJ cooking us up a good meal

 Look out world, look who is a motorcycle cop!!!

 Looked too fun for Daddy to pass up

 I hope this is not a new habit of clearing out cash registers...

 I love this picture of Jake and his Pa...postcard worthy

 Much time did not pass before AJ wanted to climb on the motorcycle.  I always say monkey see, monkey do with these boys.  Whatever one does the other wants to do the exact same thing.

 Tough Grandma  :)

 Jake trying out his carpenter skills

 And my boys find the trains in every children's museum...they just love them  :)

 AJ driving big train all by himself

 A day cannot end before you ride a bug down some train tracks...huh???  :)

The boys both had a really great time and left tired but happy.  I love these special trips that we make with fun.  So awesome to watch them learn and explore.
