Boyd's Birthday Bash!
Boyd had a great 3rd birthday! He celebrated, celebrated, and celebrated some more! He had Grandma Wilcox and Lori Gleason come up for his Wyatt and Boyd, "Bob the Builder" Party on Saturday, Sept. 24th. Where he had the most amazing dump truck cake made by Grandma Wilcox and Daddy. Grandma and Grandpa Wilcox bought him a really cool gerbil ball for kids, clothes, and Legos--which he LOVES!
Then the following Monday, he had a birthday party with Mom, Dad, Mason and our neighbors, Randy and Linda. Where he got a jump house, trains, and a Bob the Builder movie.
The following Thursday, Mom made him dinosaur cupcakes to take to preschool. All the kids licked the frosting off the cakes and played with the toy dinosaurs. So much for making a hypo-allergenic cake--it was nasty!

Oakland Zoo, Sept. 17, 2011
Just thinking about yesterday's mishap at the Oakland Zoo...Q was looking at the alligator exhibit and I was on the other side of it with Boyd (about 10 feet from him). Q yelled, "HI!" to Boyd and Boyd immediately yelled back, "DADDY!" Needless to say, Boyd began climbing the exhibit and got on the top of the first fence before I could grab him. The crazy part was that that was the high part of the fence and Boyd could not see the alligator only 10 feet from him. He only had to go over another 2.5 ft. fence and then he would be in the exhibit---I am so calling the zoo and complaining about the exhibit and how unsafe it was. It wasn't like I was not right there with him, but kids are so fast!
Other than that, we had a great visit to the zoo. The kids had sooo much fun! Boyd loved seeing the elephants and playing on the spider web rope and caterpillar slide. Mason's favorite part was getting his first taste of an Icee off of Dad. Overall, a good day trip--Boyd made it home and we didn't have to fight off an alligator!

Mason's Big Month!
July, 2011
On July 14th, we took both boys in for a haircut appointment. Yes, I said, "Both boys!" Mason's hair was long when he was born and just before the cut it was about 5 inches in some areas--way too long for a 5 month old:( Poor guy had hair in his face, that is, until now! 
This week (July 10-17th), Mason has been rolling all over the place and sitting up with help. He is super skinny (10% for his weight), and it is helping him get himself stuck in some pretty crazy places. Just today, I heard him screaming and found him rolled over while buckled into his chair, and later he did it again, but in his swing. I can't leave that kid anywhere anymore--no where is safe! He also has discovered how to old things with his feet--what a crazy Bear, or should I say, "MONKEY!"

Our Yosemite Trip
June-July 2011
Quentin's family had a reunion at Bass Lake at the end of June and into July of this year. We got to stay at an amazing cabin and enjoy Grandpa's boat everyday! Boyd especially loved sitting with Grandpa while Daddy drove the boat. 
We even got Boyd to ride the triple tube with us! 
We also took a day trip to Yosemite and saw some pretty cool waterfalls.
Quentin and I have decided that we need to go back when the boys are a little older so we can take advantage of some awesome bike trails and day hikes. Boyd still had fun seeing waterfalls and walking across some small creeks. 
At the lake we started really encouraging Boyd to wear his "Big Boys" (underwear), so he can start preschool in the fall. He did great with only one accident that I can think of on the trip. He is still going strong with wearing his "Big Boys" and now says, "I go pee pee for preschool!" We have been telling him if he can wear his underwear than he can start preschool--and he is "so excited!" (his words) :)
