Lets see....the Peddys ARE FEELING MUCH BETTER. No sickies for the past 3 weeks or so...now that I said that though we will be getting awful sick tomorrow but tomorrow is another day.
Let's see since the last time we spoke what has happened in the life of The Peddys?
4th of July brought fun and excitement as we spent it with our friends at Freedom High School watching the fireworks. Our first real outing with the whole family to watch fireworks and it was so much fun!! We got to go with 3 other families and have so much just hanging out as a family and with great friends. All 3 kids were so on their best behavior, we napped early so they could all stay up till past 10 and it was great fun. Definetely do it again next year.
Then on July 9th for my friend, Sara's birthday, Kelly, Sara and I went to THE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK CONCERT!!!! It was so much fun!! All 5 were there and they looked even better then when they originally were out. wheww...
Clayton has been working really hard to get his built in bbq ready for Mason's party on the 18th and for the most part he has succeeded. He got the bbq tiled, stuccoed, and got the bbq put in. We have to do some final cosmetic touches to it like painting, putting the doors on, the electrical switches and so forth but overall it looks great. Great Job Clayton!!
Something quite cool happened, we found a FREE Power Wheels for the kids through Freecycle Antioch!! Full on 12V Power Wheels. It is old and dusty, a bit faded and says BARBIE Cruisin Tunes Jeep but the price was too good to pass up. The kids, LOVE IT.. Well, Spencer really, he is kinda a Power Wheels hog.
Mason quickly turned 1 on July 17th and he just keeps getting older and older. Will someone please tell him to stop growing? He's not quite walking yet but both other kids didn't walk until they were 13 months so we figure thats going to be the same with him. We had a great party for him. Good friends and family came to help him celebrate and we rented a huge waterslide for everyone to slide down it and boy can we say was it FUN!! Clayton and I went down it and the kids went down it, and went down it, and went down it, and went down it, until finally....they went down it again...we had this thing from 9-9pm on Saturday, all day long and the kids got great use of it. We have our famed 1st birthday cake pictures of Mason, he ate like 1/4 of that cake. I think he actually enjoyed it.
On Sunday, July 19th, Clayton, myself, my friend Sara and her husband Ray and sister Kari decided to walk the AIDS Walk San Francisco 2009. We had so much fun. We all accomplished the 6 mile walk and it felt great. Clayton and I got to spend some quality time together as husband and wife and not daddy and mommy and it was great. We got to drive the "fun car" into the City which is always a blast and just had a great time. Grandma, Grandpa Bob, Auntie Monica and Uncle Eric pitched in to help watch the kids that day so a million thank yous to you guys for helping us out.
Now its back to the daily grind of mommydom. We scored a free little outdoor playhouse for McKenna through Freecycle! Yes another great find! You have to look up your local freecycle because we have gotten some awesome things from them.
Bless be all and have a great week.
