Swim!
We've been having a heat wave - it was 97 yesterday, and a cooler 95 today. Trajan and Macey enjoyed a dip in the wading pool.
Slumber Party!
Trajan had his first slumber party with a friend. His best buddy Lucas came over for a camp out in the backyard. The boys, under the close supervision of Mark and Macey (see photo) put up the tent. We had dinner outside, and the boys had a lot of fun playing Indiana Jones adventures in and outside the house. This morning, Trajan taught Lucas how to make buttermilk pancakes. - they were yummy! Mark took the boys on a hike in Palos Verdes as well. A fun way to celebrate the first weekend of summer vacation.
Alexandra!
Cousin Alex and Alexandra were here for a very(!) short visit. The kids had a lot of fun on Trajan and Macey's playset. Of course, Trajan swings the very highest, but Alexandra was a very near second. Macey loves to swing (she calls it Wheee!), but does not go as high as the big kids yet. She also tried out a Super Girl manuever down the slide - luckily Moma was right there to help her so she didn't do a face plant at the bottom! Alexandra later followed suit by leaping, without warning, out of her swing - right into a surprised Daddy's arms! Fortunately, Alex had his feet firmly planted, otherwise they both would have tumbled down the hill.
Father's Day
We celebrated Father's Day by making Dad's favorite meals. Trajan whipped up some fabulous blueberry pancakes for breakfast. Lunch was grilled bratwurst, and dinner was grilled steak and potatoes, with steamed cauliflower. They also spent some time on garage projects. We ended the day with a walk down to Coldstone for an ice cream treat.

Show!
Macey loves to watch the movies of the children's plays that Mark has made this year. She especially loves "Bugz! The Musical" put on by the 1st Graders. She will shout "Show! Show!" This morning, she was watching "Show!" and it was very quiet in the living room. I went in to see what was happening and here she was, all snuggled in her swing with her baby.
Wolf!
After a lot of hard work, Trajan earned his Wolf Scout badge. This is his third year in the scouting program, and he is now working toward his Webelos Badge, which is a two-year endeavor. Going on camp outs is his favorite scouting activity. Way to go, T!
Power Breakfast
Macey loves talking on the phone - and a play phone won't do! I gave her my old cell phone, which she refers to as "Hayo" (Hello). She walks around with it, opens it up and puts it up to her ear "Hayo, deedee bi didi dah....~maniacal laughter~..debedebedah. Okay! Bye!" click.
Starbucks!
Here are Trajan and Macey testing out the new furniture at our local Starbucks. This was taken on Mother's Day morning.
Trajan's Got Talent!
With the return of The 60 Second Comedy Hour, Trajan and his friend Erin reprised their act in Riviera's Talent Show this year. Once again, they did a fabulous job! The theme this year was 50's - "Riviera Bandstand" was the setting. Watch the video clip here...
