Heading to NorCal...

This morning we packed up the family for the drive to Stockton. Libs does really well on these trips-- except this time she realized that she could bug her sister. Poor Tobee got poked and prodded and had dolls riding on her back until she would growl at Libi. This series of events had Ron and I uttering things like: "If you girls don't stop that we're going to pull this car over!" "Liiiiiibiiiiiii!" followed shortly by "Toooooobeeeeeeeee!"We made a pit stop for a diaper change at an Arco somewhere along the 99 and Ron emerged from the mini-mart with 2 ice cream sandwiches. Being on Weight Watchers and not willing to waste points on something that I wasn't really excited about we gave it to Libs.Lou didn't mind this at all-- she got a whole ice cream to herself!!!I think this face says it all: "Thanks Daddy for buying this messy treat and thanks Mommy for not wanting it!!"A short 5 hours after we left the good ole SCV we were in Stockton.Libs was so excited.... and I think Jammy and Granpa were too!!!Libs was finally able to give Granpa his Father's Day gift....and Jammy and Granpa had a special gift for her. It is a ribbon on a stick which Libi calls her magical. She ran through the house and twirled it everywhere! Thanks Jammy :)
After a great dinner and a nap for Ron Mom and I headed off to a local scrapbooking store for a class.
While we were gone the boys and Libs hung out.
You can see how tired she was-- only an hour nap at 11 in the morning will make you drowsy later. She finally fell sound asleep around 8 p.m. while sitting with Granpa in the rocking chair. You know she's out when a diaper change doesn't even wake her up!!Meanwhile in a scrapbook store in Lodi..... Mom, Renia and I were having a blast at our Cricut class.For those of you who don't know and havne't seen the informertial that's on at 3 in the morning, a Cricut is a personal die cut machine. You put cartridges in on the bottom right and use the keypad to cut-out letters, shapes, frames, etc.Mom and I have had our machines for quite some time and we get more bang for our buck by sharing cartridges. This particular class was on the Storybook cartridge which Mom decided we could not share-- so we each have our own.The class was fun but some of the newbies slowed us down so we got a little punchy.... get it.... punchy????? Oh well, it was nice to spend some time alone with Mom-- we don't do it nearly enough these days.

Tomorrow we look forward to enjoying their pool and seeing just how well Libs does with her swimming.
