Teddy Bear Day at Build A Bear

To celebrate Teddy Bear Day we went to Build A Bear with our MOMS Club friends.  The kids got to pick out and stuff an animal.

Cole and his friend Tate had a blast dancing to the music on some of the noise boxes you can put inside the bears.

 Both boys picked to make a cat.  They chose the same one.  Cole named his Meow Meow and Trevor named his Kitty.

 Brushing and "drying" the animals.

 Afterwards we had lunch in the food court with our friends.

Bartley Ranch Tour

We went on a tour of Bartley Ranch with our MOMS Club today.  The boys had fun running around with their buddies and checking out the old equipment.

This past weekend we went to our friend Mina's 2nd birthday party at Chuck E Cheese.  The boys had a blast playing games and meeting Chuck E. Happy Birthday Mina!

Duck Festival

Today is the Reno Duck Race & Festival.  We aren't able to attend the race because we have a birthday party to attend so we went to the festival earlier in the day.  We walked along the river this morning while waiting for the festival to start.  The boys fed the ducks some bread and we watched the river.

 The boys played the carnival games which included bean bag toss, ring toss, guess how may eggs are in the cage and pick out a duck from the pool.  Each game was awarded points for how well you do.  The boys both  got a rubber duck as a prize.

 Trevor painted a very colorful frog and Cole painted a dinosaur.

 The boys love to get their faces painted.  Trevor picked a rainbow???

 Cole picked paw prints.  The event was to raise money for the Humane Society so I really liked his choice.

It was a fun morning and we had a great time hanging out down by the river.

Spider Hair

Trevor came downstairs this morning with two spiders taped to his head.  He said "This is what happens when you don't wash your hair, you get spider hair."

Reno Ace's Ballpark Tour

Today we went on a tour of the Reno Ace's Ballpark with our MOMS Club.  The boys dressed in baseball shirts and were anxious to check the place out.

They stood patiently by the fence while we waited for the tour to begin.

Humane Society Egyptian Festival

We attended the Egyptian Festival at the Humane Society today.  We got to play will the cats that are awaiting adoption which the boys loved.  They got their faces painted, made an Egyptian craft and get their picture taken with the big dog and cat characters.  We also sampled some food.  The boys loved the pita and hummus the best.

St Jude Trike-A-Thon

Today was our Trike-A-Thon for St Jude.  The kids rode their bikes and trikes around a small course.  Both boys were excited to wear their helmets after watching the bike safety video yesterday.

 Grandma is visiting so she was able to attend the trike-a-thon.

 Thank You to those that made a donation!

St Jude Trike Wash

We are doing a St Jude Trike-A-Thon this week for our MOMS Club.  We are holding it as a three day event that leads up to the big race.  The first day was a trike wash.  The kids rode the bikes, trike and ride ons through the car wash to get them clean for the race.

Big Red

We stopped by Save Mart today so see Big Red.  This is the huge shopping cart they bring out to celebrate Hot August Nights.  The driver actually sits up in the child's seat to steer the cart.  They gave away prizes and were selling ribs so we picked up some for lunch.  Yummy!!

Fire Station Tour

We went on a tour of the fire station with our MOMS Club today  Both boy were so excited.  They showed us where they eat, sleep, watch TV, and slide down the fire pole.  They even did a demo for us.  We stood in the fire truck bay and watch a fireman slide down the pole, get his gear on and drive off in the truck.  He then came back and showed us the air tank they wear in fires and let the kids shake his hand and hug him so they wouldn't be afraid if they were ever in a fire.  It was very informative and fun.

I seem to get this pose a lot lately when I ask him to say "cheese."

Trevor's First Day of Kindergarten

Trevor started kindergarten today.  He was so excited.  There are 14 boys in his class and zero girls.  Should be an interesting class.
