101 in 1001 more done
You can always see my list HERE but I am happy to report I got to cross a few off my list.
6.Start planning how to buy a house
No we are not buying now but we are researching and talking to people. We are seeing what our options are and getting out ducks in a row.
28.See a movie in the theater
Erick and I went on a date night and saw Inception. My mom watched the boys and we went to dinner out after the movie. The theater here is showing all movies for $5 on Tuesdays. When Erick got off work I told him he had 5 min to be in the car or I was leaving him. He had now clue of the plan or anything. It was great fun.
33.Transition the boys to big boy beds
As you read the boys are in big boy beds. We need to get them twin beds but for now they are in day beds because their cribs convert. Night time is going great naps are another story.
73.Let the boys touch a starfish
Last time we went to Monterey to visit we took the boys to visit the fish. I think I told you about it. We had the boys on the harnesses. Well they also got to touch starfish. Owen just wanted to splash in the water.
100. Teach the boys to say "I love you mommy/daddy"
I finally heard these sweet words in the car the other day. melted my heart.

You can always see my list HERE but I am happy to report I got to cross a few off my list.
I have tagged all my blog posts so they are easily searchable. Now I just have to tag each post as I write it.
I do not want to have to tag like that again.

Zoo #2
Yesterday Erick and I decided that we needed out of the house. I looked up the weather and it said it was going to be beautiful in SF so we got ready and went. I guess I looked up the wrong site because the weather was a good 10* cooler than what I had read and the sun was only out for maybe an hour. None the less we had fun and I was able to cross something off my list
playing with the elephant statue
elephant kisses
petting zoo (yep real goats)
To view my whole list of 101 in 1001 feel free to click. This time I crossed off #62
Then and Now! The same spot in the zoo the boys at 3 months and now.
After the zoo we continued the day in SF. The boys were doing amazingly well for not having napped and we were hungry. We headed to the Rainforest and down to the Pier 39. It was a great day.

Spring has sprung
I keep meaning to get on here and write something or share pictures. Then it just doesn't happen. The weather is getting nicer and I am working on my 101 in 1001. Not to mention the boys are trying to test limits which has been oh so much fun.
Let us see... what have we done after my last post....
The boys turned 17 months.
The boys didn't want their pictures taken so these are the best I could do. You can see how big they are though. This picture is them and the same bear.
We went to Grandma's in Salinas. Owen and Ethan loved being outside and playing in the dirt.
Because the weather has been so nice we have also gotten a few chances to play in the water. They LOVE the water.
Words are coming at an alarming rate. We say something once and they are repeating it. And to think not to long ago we were worried about Ethan's speech. He has a favorite phrase that we have yet to get on video but I hope to soon. I love you.
So here is a video of Owen showing off and one of Ethan being strong willed.

101 in 1001 completed some
You can always see my list HERE but I am happy to report I got to cross a few off my list.
Eat breakfast everyday for 1 month
I am proud to say that I have been eating breakfast everyday and before 10am at that. Though I have found that if I dont eat what the boys are eating they eat mine too. LOL
Go to the drive in theatre AND Eat something new
Erick and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary (where has the time gone). We agreed no gifts and to have a nice night out. We left as the boys were getting up from nap (my mom was sitting for us) and headed to Sac. We had a very good dinner at The Melting Pot (my something new). I now want to host a fondue party it was so good and yummy. From there we went to the drive in. We almost didnt go because 1) we thought we were going to be late 2)the GPS didnt save the address and 3) once we did find it there were 8 lines of cars 10 or so cars deep. Lucky for us the lines went quick and we parked and turned off our lights just as the previews ended. It really was a great night.
March for Babies
May 15th (Mckenzie's birthday) Stockton's March of Dimes: March for Babies was held downtown (a big thank you for those that donated). The walk was just over 4 miles and we did it in just under 2 hrs. It was fun though the walk was not at all stroller friendly.
The only casualty of the walk.
Finger paint
Owen's
Ethan's
Give the boys haircuts
As you can see the boys got summer haircuts. It was not as easy as it was last year. Ethan thought it was great fun. Owen cried the whole time.

101 in 1001
I got this from another blog and I thought it would be fun (not to mention challenging). It is called 101 in 1001. Basically it is a list of 101 things that I would like to do or accomplish in 1001 days. I started Today, April 18th 2010. 1001 days from then is January 12th 2013. Wish me luck!
The Mission:Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
The Criteria:Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on my part).
Why 1001 Days? Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple goals such as new year's resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.
