Fun with the Wigs

As soon as we get to Papa and GG's house, Talmage disappears into the upstairs closet. GG has transformed it into the perfect toy room, and T knows exactly where his favorites are stored (Mr. Potato Head, Lincoln Logs and cars/trains). When he's really lucky, he has company in his special closet!

Such a sweet cheesy picture of Talmage Scott and Papa Scott playing their hearts out!

We sure love Great Papa and are so grateful that we could see him so many times during our visit. He's so handsome and I just love seeing his smile when the boys are being silly or we're telling a story.

Our last day in Sacramento was Mom's birthday. We are so glad that we got to celebrate with her on her special day, and help her eat her birthday cake!

Honey (Jim's grandma), Mom, Care and I were also able to attend Time Out for Women for the Friday night session and it was incredible. I felt inspired and rejuvenated and want to make this a yearly tradition!

Gold Rush Days

On Labor Day the fam headed to downtown Sac for Gold Rush Days. Live music. Gold panning. Petting Zoo. Horses and wagons. Ash's sweet braid. It was awesome in so many ways, but we were mostly impressed that they covered all the roads with dirt. Seriously, that must be so much work--to set up and clean up!

T's Love

Talmage is head over heels for his little cousin. "I just wuv her!" he'd tell me quite often, and he wanted to hold her constantly. When he wasn't holding her, he would sit right beside her carseat and say things like, "It's ok Avery. Don't cry, I'm right here." or "Mom, look. Avery's looking at me!"

I must say, seeing him be so tender to his little cousin was one of the highlights of my visit. You would never know it by the way he treats Evie ("I want to hold Avery, Ev. NOT you!") but he really is a softy for babies.

 Kai saw his little sister getting all the attention and decided to get in on the action! These boys are goofy to the core!

Chalk It Up Sacramento

Chalk It Up Sacramento was a major success of an event! Pretty much the sidewalk of a whole city block is turned into a giant chalkboard...and it's awesome! I'm so glad we went.

 My super cute sister and little niecey-girl!

 There was live music and Everett loved dancing with Mema.

The artists were legit! The artwork was phenomenal and I couldn't believe that they were just using chalk. My dad is a super talented artist and Ash and I are sponsoring him for next year ;) I can't wait to see what he does!

 Me and my Kai-Kai!

 There were all sorts of food trucks and we ate the yummiest food. Mom ate at Mama Kim's, Ash/Log/and I ate at Drewski's and Dad and James ate at wicked 'wich. All the food was amazing, but the winner was definitely...

Jim's pulled pork sandwich from the wicked 'wich. You have no idea what you are missing in life until you try this. Really, really good!

 Ah. Sweet. Look at those two lovebirds!

Maybe, possibly, definitely my favorite picture from the whole day. I can't not laugh when I see it. Ha!

 This one is a very, very, very close second!

 When did I say it was ok for him to look like a 5-year-old? Oh wait, I didn't. So stop it, you hear?

The handsome hubs chased the kids around the playground. I'm still getting used to him doing things with us again...and I'm loving it ps!

 Me and the Aviator. I actually just thought of that nickname right now...and I kind of feel clever and love it a lot! Dear Ash, can I call your daughter the Aviator? Let me know. Love, Heath

This boy loves the swings. Especially when his dad pushes him. I'm a little more chicken when it comes to pushing him high on the swings. I'm trying to remind myself that he's not a little baby anymore, but I still think he is!

We saw this Capital Nursery chalk art right as we were leaving and knew we needed to take a picture for Noni. We love you Nones!

Water

The little guys had lots of fun in water while we were in Sacramento. We hit up water parks, swam in pools, ran in sprinklers and had 3 super cute dudes in a tub! 

 

We went to an awesome splash pad in Folsom. It was kind of windy outside, but that didn't stop these two from running like wild men! One thing about Kai that I totally adore is that he likes to be wrapped up in a towel and held like a baby after getting wet. So. darn. cute.

After the water park, we ate yummy yogurt for lunch. Funny memories I don't want to forget: Talmage begging for pineapple and not eating any of it. Kai wanting to try my mochi and then spitting it back into my cup. Everett eating monster bites of yogurt from Uncle Gogo at record speeds.

Kai and I also had a silly photo shoot and I definitely don't want to forget one minute of that fun! I don't want to brag or anything, but when you ask Kai who his favorite person is he says, "Heddy!" Yep, true story.

His answer might have been Talmage, but T hasn't learned about bribery yet ;) They are so, so cute together holding hands, talking (and of course, wrestling and arguing!)

Rub a dub-dub.

The boys also enjoyed running around at Mema and Pepa's house in the sprinklers. Well, Everett scooted around and played with the spout while the other two ran, ran, ran! California summers--you just can't beat 'em.
