August 2009 slideshow

Another busy month at the Tedesco household! We've been having a blast keeping cool and enjoying summer before school starts for Logan. I love the long warm days of summer, but I must admit that I am looking forward to fall and all the outdoor activities!

Lost tooth!



What a week of "first's" we had! Logan started school, Kindergarten, on Tuesday and on Wednesday Logan lost his first baby tooth! It had been loose for awhile, but the last few days it was just hanging on. I told him that he needed to start wiggling it. It only took a few wiggles until it came out. "Oh my gosh, my tooth came out" he yelled from the bathroom! He was soooo excited, jumping up and down, and couldn't wait to show his friends! I was able to capture a few photos and grabbed the video camera to capture his excitement. That night he put his tooth under his pillow, and the tooth fairy came to give him a dollar with a special note, and she even left "fairy dust" in his room! He has another tooth that is loose which I think will be out next month, and the fun begins again!

Logan starts Kindergarten!




Logan had his first day of Kindergarten this past Tuesday. His teacher is Ms. Holliday, who seems really knowledgeable and has lots of experience teaching~I think she will know how to handle Logan and it seemed like he liked her when we met with her on Monday. Logan's good friend and neighbor, Hunter, is also starting school and they are in the same class together. Logan had no hesitation when I dropped him off the first day, he just ran up and stood outside the door waiting for class to start. I hate change, so I think I've had a harder time adjusting to him starting school and being gone in the mornings than he has, and poor Sawyer misses his brother and asks where he is all the time. Next week I am going to let him start to ride the school bus to and from school, something he is very excited about. I just can't believe how fast my baby boy has grown up! I'm just trying to hold onto and treasure every moment I have with my boys!

Las Vegas visit




I took the boys this past week down to Las Vegas to visit with Gma and Gpa "K" and to relax a little before Logan started school. We had a blast swimming all day and watching movies at night, and of course the boys both loved being "spoiled" by grandma and grandpa! Grandpa took both boys to a buffet and a children's discovery museum one day, while I went shopping and had lunch with my mom. We all had a wonderful visit, and came back home relaxed, refreshed, and ready to start school!

Thanksgiving Point Children's Garden








I have heard of the Thanksgiving Point Children's Gardens for awhile now, and surprisingly have never been. Jen and I took the kids there last week, and we were very impressed! The Garden's are absolutely beautiful and they have little areas set aside for kids to do various things~ such as splash around Noah's Ark, walk down into a bear den, building blocks, maze~all set in flowers and gorgeous landscaping! There was so many photo opportunites, but the boys rarely held still long enough for a good picture! If you haven't already been there, I would highly recommend it!

Boating!




We are so fortunate to have friends, who are also our neighbors, who own a boat. They are so nice to invite us to go boating whenever they go out to the lake, so we get to enjoy all the benefits of having a boat without actually owning one! It is one of my favorite things to do, and the boys love it too-especially being pulled on a raft! The time flies when we are out there, we ended up staying nine hours last weekend when we all went. Thanks guys for all the fun and laughs!

Hiking and "camping"!















Every year we "camp" outdoors in our backyard. It's fun for the boys because they get a chance to sleep outside, and it's fun for mom and dad because we have all the convienances of the indoors nearby if needed. This year we went hiking in the hills behind our house in the evening. Logan actually did pretty good until we had to go back down and he kept falling, and Sawyer was lucky enough to be held by dad the whole way. It was beautiful at the top, we were able to see the whole valley from up there. The boys were so tired from the hike, they could barely stay awake for dinner outside and smores afterwards. We had our tent set up by our waterfall and we all actually slept great, even Jake who took over Anthony's sleeping bag in the middle of the night!
