Super Mommy

Looks like Luke and James have a Super Mommy!!!

Super Boys

A couple of pictures to appease those want me to start blogging again. It has been a busy couple of weeks in the Turner household.

James is still not very happy when he is posed next to Luke. Although any other time he gets almost giddy when Luke touches his face or hair. Go figure!

Luke's 6 month stats:

Height: 31 inches (100%)
Weight: 17 pounds, 2 ounces (38%)
I can't remember his head circumference off the top of my head...does anyone really care about that anyway?

Hope everyone is enjoying this lovely spring weather!

California Sun

Sorry for the lack of posting, but we have been enjoying the California sun out here at Grammy's house! James is really loving the backyard and all the fun toys that Grammy had waiting for him. What a lucky boy!

Our week in review.

It was a good week for:

*Fun in the sun. There really is something special and bright about the sun in California. It is hard to describe, but it truly is wonderful.
*In and Out Burgers. Delicious! Even James tried a couple of bites, it was that good.
*Meeting up with friends. James loved meeting Kyle and Caleb for the the first time. Plus I loved catching up with my dear friends Stacy and Steve, and sweet baby Callie.
*Spending time with Grammy. James and Luke both love their Grammy and she sure is spoiling them with all the great toys and activities that she has planned for them.
*Easter Egg Hunts: We have had at least one every day. Nothing is better then searching around the garden for plastic eggs.


It was a bad week for:

* Allergies. Just when I was getting used to the pollen in Virginia, I switched coasts and now have a whole new round to fight.
*Time differences. The boys took a while to adjust. Let's just say we were having some pretty early mornings for the first few days. Last night everyone slept soundly for the first time.
*Missing Daddy. James is missing his daddy and points him out in every picture that he sees.

Some pictures from the past week. James is finally able to sit on the tricycle, but the minute you start it moving he jumps off. And I mean JUMPS off as fast as he can.

Meeting up with the Parkers. James really loved playing with these sweet boys! I wish we lived closer!

Planes, Trucks and Automobiles

Here is how we Turners spend a lazy sunny afternoon.

The weather was so beautiful and the boys were so agreeable outside. James loves his new truck and airplane, big hits from our local consignment sale.

Also, today is day 3 of James refusing his nap. He may catch a quick 20 minutes in the car (if I am lucky) while we are out running errands. The one upside to no nap is he doesn't budge from his room for at least 12 hours. Although it means I am extra tired by the end of the day with my little "helper" following me around non-stop. So the quest is on to start a "quiet time" for James so I can have a little breather. So I invested in a handy doorknob thingy (see below).

So we are now taking bets...how long will it take James to figure out how to escape from his room?
