Ellie's New Bed


Ellie protested being in a crib by banging her head up against the rails. I didn't want to give up the crib because I knew I would be battling bed time but I couldn't have her hurting herself. So, Ellie got a big girls bed. And surprisingly it's been great. She very rarely puts up a fight...she loves her new bed. Sometimes though she rolls right off, she doesn't wake up...she is deep in sleep. We've had to place pillows by her bed...(Yes, I know we should invest in toddler rails) There have been a few times when we've had to look for her, if you look carefully at this picture you can see a leg sticking out from underneath her bed. I spy with my little eye...Ellie!

Student of the Month

Today was Rachel's last day of first grade. She had a wonderful teacher, I couldn't have asked for anyone better. Rachel grew so much this year, I'm so proud of her. This is Rachel getting her student of the month award for May.

Keeping Cool



My kids could live in the water. They love the pool, beach, the slip in slid, or squirting each other with water guns. These are the first pictures of the summer...

It's Great to be 5!



Happy Birthday Jared!!!!

Not so Fun...

Ellie hates the feeling of butterflies in her stomach. We took her on the ferris wheel at California adventure.


It's a small world after all...











We never get tired of going to Disneyland. I love watching my kids faces light up with excitement or experience things for the first time. Here are some memories caught on camera.

Boys will be boys...


Jared is so fascinated with bugs, worms, lizards...He always tries to bring them in the house and convince me they are his "pets". Here is one of his latest finds.
