Busy, Busy, July!

Thank you to everyone who has already checked out the blog. It is really motivating me to keep on top of it, and believe me, I can always use a good kick in the butt to get started on something! My dad was wondering where the pictures of him are and if I don't post some soon we can't come over and go swimming anymore. Sorry, Dad. It wasn't intentional, but you were gone for most of July and Mom doesn't exactly like to jump in front of the camera. You better believe I will be snapping away next time we come over (today? please?) so you don't feel left out.

July is proving to be a very fun and busy month. During Todd's days off, we are on the go, cramming in as many activities as we can. It's hard to take 2 toddlers out so I take advantage while I have him home.

Here's Nathan eating sushi at our favorite spot, Sushi 2-2 Train in Saratoga. I don't know which one he likes better, the sushi or the train that carries it around. This kid will try anything!

Audrey works on using her chopsticks.

Just two friends enjoying a popsicle on a hot summer day......

Believe it or not, she LOVES this!

The kids had a playdate with friends at Almaden Lake Park.

Nathan's belly :)

We were invited by the new owners of Themefest in San Jose to an open house. The kids really love coming here, so much so, we had their 2nd birthday party there. (Click here to see their birthday invitation on Youtube.) They have themed areas (Pirate Ship, Castle, Old West, Safari, Dance Floor) where the kids can dress the part.

Nathan is showing off his moves on the dance floor!

Me taking a picture of us on the video monitor.

Hee-Haw!

This is what happens when Dad gives the kids a BUBBLE bath!

An afternoon at The Jungle with pal Jaeden.

I hate to think of the germs that are lurking in the ball pit!!!

Another trip to Gilroy Gardens! We are getting in as many visits as we can with our season pass.

Nathan wanted to drive this time.

Audrey thought driving the car was hilarious! She let go of the wheel and just laughed.

It's not a Trayer outing unless ice cream is involved!

Daddy's little helper :)

A playdate with friends at Lincoln Glen Park in San Jose.

The "squirting frogs."

We have been swimming at my parents' house every chance we get. The kids are getting more and more comfortable in the water and want to "swim" without us holding on to them (with floaties, of course!).
