A Dream Come True and More

On Saturday Melissa Payan invited the boys and I to "Touch-A-Truck" since the guys were working all day. It is a chance for kids to get up close and personal with their favorite big rig! A fire truck, police car, construction vehicles and many other vehicles were on display for the kids to climb into and "drive" etc.


ISAAC LOVED IT!!!
HE RAN from one truck to the next saying "BIG TRUCK" or "Let's go drive BIG TRUCK", etc. Baby Drew and I could barely keep up in the stroller as he darted through all the crowds!!

Here are some pictures of him driving some of his favorite trucks.

Isaac in the "sweet" semi-truck. This thing was decked out!! The back cabin even had a fridge and microwave in it.

We saw a mixer truck, many semi-trucks, an army hummer, a regular hummer, paramedic trucks, fire engines, an Air Force fuel tanker, SWAT team trucks, the K-9 unit SUVs, moving trucks, TV station SUVs & vans, and there were even some motorcycles and a helicopter there!! It was A DREAM COME TRUE FOR ISAAC!!! Probably the best day of his short 3 year life.

AND here is the latest photo of Baby Drew AKA BABY FAT. Drew already has a million nicknames. (Baby Drew, DB, Drew Doggie, Drew Puppy, Helmet Head, Mr. Pain in the Neck, Chucker Pants, Firecracker, Short Stack, etc.) But his newest is "Baby Fat". Someone here in Vegas recently told me the following: (note that she doesn't speak English every well) "First time I see him he SOOO little....he NO little; he FAT!!" Jared and I got a good laugh about it and ever since "BABY FAT" has been added to the list.

AND FINALLY....Drew keeps getting up earlier and earlier each morning. It used to be 7:00am, then 6:30am, then 6:00am and finally this morning he got up at 5:15am ready to play for the day. His early rising is killing me and Jared. Jared is working until the wee hours of the morning and I can't seem to get into bed any earlier than 11pm by the time I get both kids in bed and clean up, finish the laundry, do some taxes myself, etc. And often Drew will still get up in the middle of the night to eat. Anyways, one morning when Drew woke up BRIGHT and EARLY Jared said, "I'll get him, you sleep alittle longer." When I dragged myself out of bed about an hour later this is what I found............

YES, Jared was sound asleep!! I came in the room, left, got the camera and took a few pictures before his eye finally cracked open alittle bit!! Not exactly what I had in mind; but at least Drew has a nice helmet to protect him if he got dropped, etc.
