Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach!!

I love my little peanut!! She may be our stinker, but oh man I can't get enough of her!!

The Newest Pics....

While in Virginia we went to Mt. Vernon. We love it there!!

I snapped some pics of the kids while we were there!!

The pic of Camden was taken on the stairs at my parents house, she was having

way too much fun with an apple one morning!!

Something New to Look at.....

i was tired of looking at the same pics for the last 6 months..... so here's a new one!!

Spring Break 2011

Every year we spend Spring Break at the beach camping. (in a motorhome mind you) We love it. This year was our 5 year in a row. I love that there are no distractions. No tv, computer etc. Just quality family time. This year Sydney brought a friend, a trend that I think will continue every year. And Grandma Terri and Grandpa David had a site too. Which I loved. And cousins came to visit and had sleep overs. It was so much fun. We went on bike rides, played at the beach, and bbq'd yummy food. I love, love, love our Springs Breaks.

Our trip to the tide pools. Nico lost a shoe to the ocean on the way so he used his remaining shoe as a shelf for his finds.

She LOVED the sand.

Home Sweet Home for the week.

Sophie and her cousin Jett!!!! I {heart} them!!!

Nico, and cousins Drake & Cade!!! Crazy little guys who are BEST friends.

More to come in another post as I get them edited.

I think it's about time for a new post.......

Easter

I finally posted something. I've been wanting to for a while just never got around to it. We had a lovely Easter this year. Woke up and the kids went on their tradition Easter basket hunt. We leave clues in eggs and send them all over the house to find their baskets. This year's baskets were filled with new bathing suits and flip flops for our Spring Break adventure at the beach. (our yearly vacay)

Then we headed to church and then to Nick's brother's house for a family dinner. The kids were so happy to see their cousins.

I LOVED the girl's outfits this year. I tried to find the perfect matching shirt for Nico but couldn't. Although he still looked so handsome.

She's growing up so fast. Please slow down Sydney.

Ditto Nico!!!!!

I'm overcome....

I melt!!!!!!!!

A Whale Watching Tale

{Sydney walking on our way to school}

I was able to accompany Nico and his 2nd grade class on their field trip to go whale watching. It was a great day. We didn't see any whales but we did see lots of dolphins. I was glad I was able to make it. Now that I have a gaggle of children I don't get to volunteer in classrooms like I was able to in years past. We had a fabulous time.
