Tahoe-Date With Our Little Boys

Michelle and I were escorted by two young handsome men to Tahoe for the weekend and left our husbands at home.  The first night was an adventure with no hot water but after a late night visit from the security department and then the oncall maintenance people, it was fixed.  The boys slept through that part without a problem but the people partying next door right under their window ended up waking Grey up.  Luckily, they broke up their party before I had to take Grey over there and tell them that since they woke him, they had to take care of him!!

The next day, we headed to Kings Beach to play at the park and on the beach for the morning.  This is where Zippy and I got married (almost 5 years ago!!).  It looks  a little different in the summer than the winter.   The boys had fun digging in the sand and Michelle even taught them how to play badminton when Andrew sweet talked his way into borrowing someone's equipment.
Then, we headed over the mountain into Nevada to visit Jared and meet his little brother Jake.  Jake is such a cutie and it amazes me how small babies are after hanging out with our big boys!!
The boys had fun playing in the pool at Jared's Grandma's house and loved showing us their belly buttons (Andrew liked to help Jared find his!)...
After we headed back to North Star, we had dinner and enjoyed a lovely evening at the Chocolate Bar with chocolate fondue and a chocolate mousse martini.  We had lots of fun with our little guys but next time they are going to drive us home while we take a nap if they continue to want to get up before 6 am!!

15 month check up at 16 months

Grey and I went to the doctors yesterday for his 15 month check up...just a month later :)  Doctor said he was a very healthy boy and that he would love to take him home with him.  It was fun watching the doctor and Grey sign to each other and interact. I am spoiled because Zippy usually comes with us to these doctor's appointments and I actually get to sit and talk to the doctor...this time, not so much.  Grevin was raising the bed up and down, climbing into the chairs, opening the door, and asking the doctor if he had a ball :)

Stats:
Height: 33 inches
Weight 27.3 pounds
Head: 21 inches

We got another round of vaccines and Grey was laughing until the first shot then the tears started flowing.  When she was done, she blew bubbles and gave him stickers.  He would blow her kisses but then would start crying again. Poor guy.  As soon as we left the room, the tears dried up and he started asking for a ball.

Lovely Day for Croquet

On Saturday, we visited Michelle to see what she has been doing lately when she said she is "working."  Sonoma Cutrer Winery had their open house for their brand new tasting room and Michelle sure knows how to throw a party!  Grevin wants her job when he gets big-pour wine, throw parties, eat yummy food, and his favorite part was the croquet she gets to play all day long!

The beautiful winery
I think the big guys were intimidated by Grevin's croquet skills...he was just trying to help them!

HAPPY 4TH!

We had a nice relaxing weekend, recovering from our trip to Missouri last week.  Grey was asleep before the fireworks started and slept through all of them, including the ones that were going off through out the neighborhood until 2 am.   On Monday, we headed to Doran Beach.  It was overcast and a little cool which made a perfect beach day.  We had Jayash, our buddy from Holland's son, with us, and they played so well together.  We met up with a few other people who Zippy plays soccer with and we hung out while the kids ran around like crazy.   It was a great day and this is the only picture that I took.  Oops!
 Grey had gone to tackle the soccer ball and came out with a face full of sand...didn't phase him a bit!
