I'm Running Away To The Circus!!

We were hanging out with Mark and Deb yesterday and Deb reminded us that the Circus was at The Stockton Arena... well Aaron and I had never been and the girls were so excited when we asked if they wanted to go, we hopped online and bought the tickets.. $10 per child under 12 and only $17 for adults! We couldnt beat that price, so we went! It was so much fun and really if you've never been to the circus, you have to go at least once.. Aaron and I were totally impressed! The Elephants, the Tigers, the people acts, 7 motorcycles in a metal ball (this was Aarons favorite), the flying trapeze acts, the tightrope walkers, all of it.. totally amazing :) we had really good seats too! Where we were, you were able to see the entire event!  Check out the pics:

So, Aaron and I thought it would be fun to take a trip to the Reptile Show in Sacramento... yeah I am so not a fan of Snakes and Lizards and Bugs, however I wasnt really expecting turtles or tortoises... of course the babies were just so darn cute we told the girls we'd think about getting a turtle. After  1 1/2 hours of walking around we went back to the turtle guy and decided we'd pick up a turtle.  Little did we know, we'd be purchasing 2. Also the guy failed to tell us that we had just purchased Sulcata Tortoises, who are the 3 largest tortoises in the world and can get up to 200+ lbs. Also, the live anywhere from 70 to 120+ years!  Here are some photos of the kids at the show, and of course our new little babies! (they are the same age as Jett, born only a week apart!)

Jett Crawling!!

So our little guy is crawling... however it is backwards. Jett will crawl on his knees going backwards only, but will semi-army crawl when he goes forwards.. here is a little video of him doing his army-crawl:

Our Little Drama Queen Turned 4!

Happy Birthday Kaylie!

Yup that's right Kaylie (Kiki) Marie Heffner is now 4 years old! I can't believe how fast time goes by!! It was just 4 years ago I was changing your little preemie diapers and comparing you to the size of our remote control. And here we are today with an extra tall 4 year old girly girl. We are so blessed to have such an amazing little girl. Yes you are our drama queen but you are Momma's sweethear and Daddy's Princess. You are our little luv bug. You tell us 100 million times a day how much you loves us and are constantly giving us hugs and kisses. You may be high maintenance, and the most dramatic of the 3 kiddos, but we love you to death. Happy Birthday baby girl!

We love you Kaylie!

Back To School: Dakota Style!

So I am a little late posting these pictures, but here are the pictures we snagged of Dakota's 1st day of Kindergarten. She is having so much fun! She gets to bring a book home everyday to read, she is a pro at writing her name, and is even learning to write her last name. She is super excited and we are so proud of her!

Family Pictures in Tahoe!

Fun in Tahoe!

Here are a few random photos from our tahoe trip :) It was Aaron and I's 6th wedding anniversary. What better way to spend it than playing with the kiddos and getting some amazing family pictures taken (see above post)... these were taken all on my iPhone so please ignore the quality lol
