Graduation, the Tooth Fairy, and Summer Fun!

Today, Cameron is officially a graduate of preschool. While I stayed home with the triplets, Anthony skipped work today to attend the hour long graduation ceremony at Cameron's preschool. The children put on a little show, each received an individual award, and then finally received their "diploma" from Pre-K. Just when I thought the preschool had sucked every last dime out of us, I found out for a mere $28 plus $5 shipping plus $.50 credit card processing fee LOL I can purchase a DVD of the event....which I somehow feel compelled to do. If only I had thought to arm Anthony with our video camera. Cameron was named the "most social" for his individual award. I think this might be another way of saying he talks too much. I was such a shy child that it's hard to believe I have such an extroverted son. Hopefully he will make lots of friends because of it.

Cameron the constant goofball!


After the graduation, Anthony and I and all four boys headed over to a post graduation pool party at Cameron's friend Luca's house. You should see how much gear is needed for 6 people to attend a pool party...we even had to stop at Target on the way to buy extra beach towels and flotation devices. We had a great afternoon!

And in other news, Cameron lost his first baby tooth yesterday. Since visiting the dentist last month, we had been warned that Cameron might start losing some baby teeth soon and a bottom front tooth very soon. Cam has been wiggling the tooth ever since and managed to wiggle it free last night while we were hanging out in our backyard with the neighbors enjoying some margaritas. On that note, if you like margaritas you might want to check out Jose Cuervo's top shelf golden margarita ready made in the jug....it was super tastey and so easy to just pour over some ice and enjoy.

All the blondie boys: our 4 plus the neighbor!




We have enjoyed many family outings recently. We are making more of an effort to take the boys out as a family. The triplets took their first trip to the beach 2 days ago when we attended the first birthday party of my friend Casey's daughter Emma. The triplets really couldn't have behaved better during our 4 hour outing but once again, Cameron was the challenge. The boys enjoyed watching a rescue helicopter take off from the parking lot with an injured surfer. My boys would live outside if I let them! They love sand, water, sunshine, and everything that goes with it. So much for dream of vacationing at resorts....looks like we're all about camping and RVs in this famiy!!
