Yosemite!

On Thursday the kids and I went with
my parents to Oakhurst. On Friday,
we headed up to Yosemite. The kids
had a blast! Thanks Grandma Sharon
and Papa for inviting us to join you!

Party Time!

Monday night we helped Grandma Dede
celebrate her 70th Birthday! Uncle Larry
ordered Chinese food, mom made a
pink cocunut cake and I made homemade
vanilla icecream! After eating I had the kids
pose for a picture with the birthday girl!
So, glad we got to spend time with Grandma
Dede on her birthday. And, we pray that
the Lord will bless her with many more!

Matching Suits

Kaleb got a new suit a few weeks ago and I decided he should wear it this Sunday to church. He asked Papa if he would match him. So, I had to get a picture because they matched almost perfectly.

Disneyland 2011

We had a wonderful time this week at Disneyland. The kids loved getting to meet all the characters! We were so glad we got to share this experience with Dillon, Connor, and Brenna not to mention their parents, Grandma Sharon and Papa, and Uncle Larry. Here are a few pics we took the rest we left up to my brother which I am sure he will post soon.

Tuesday Fun!

Yesterday morning the boys had lots of fun playing with Mia and Macie! Then later that evening Uncle Larry, Pops and Grandma Dede, and Grandma Sharon and Papa came over for dinner. The kids enjoyed playing outside with Pops until it got dark. We all sure are enjoying this nice weather! Kaleb playing with Mia and Macie! Macie is the only one
that would smile for the camera!

Tree Trimming

Papa and Grandma Sharon came over today to help us trim our trees. Of course the boys thought they had to help Papa with every little thing. So, Papa let them haul away the old supports that were holding up the trees. A special thanks to Papa and Grandma Sharon for helping Mommy trim the trees this year :)
Kaleb and Bradley working together.

I had to get the back shot too!

Kaleb said after we were all done that his

tummy hurt. I asked him why and he said

because of all the hard work he had to do!

He is his father's son...for sure :)

Happy 4th Birthday Kaleb!

Kaleb decided he wanted to go see the movie Gnomeo and Juliet for his birthday. Since his cousins Dillon and Connor couldn't make it :( Kaleb decided to invite a friend. Ty is my cousin's son and the boys hit if off about a month ago when they spent the night together at Granny Barbara's house. So, Kaleb was very excited that Ty could come along on his Birthday celebration. Also in attendance at the movie were Uncle Jason, Mommy, Daddy, Bradley and Granny. After the movie was over we came home for some pizza and Ninja Turtle cake made espeically for Kaleb by Grandma Sharon. Uncle Larry, Grandma Dede and Pops, and Grammy Tenny came over for some cake and present opening as well. Thanks to all that came and made Kaleb's birthday so special. He loves each and everyone of you and his presents too!

Kaleb and Ty ready for the movie!

Valentine's Day

We got to spend Valentine's Day with Pops and Grandma Dede, Grandma Sharon and Papa. It was Grandma Dede and Pop's Anniversary so I made them lasagna, bread, salad, Pop's some peanut butter homemade icecream, and Grandma Dede a Honey Bun cake. We had a great time! These are the hand picked pj's they got from Grandma Sharon and Papa for Valentine's Day along with a toy and some candy.

Taylor got these adorable fuzzy pj bottoms with a cute

top to match.

Kaleb got monster truck pjs with Grave Digger on

them. He thought they were awesome!

Bradley loves Mickey Mouse. So, when Grandma

Sharon saw these she knew she had to get them

for him. And, boy does he love them!

Beach Trip

Last week in celebration of Jonathan's 28th Birthday we decided to go to Pismo Beach for a few days. My parents joined us and we had a marvelous time of relaxation until Bradley broke out in an awful rash Saturday morning. Needless to say we had a great time minus the sick baby. This was Bradley's first time playing in the sand. He liked digging in it but did not like the feel of it against his skin.

sand.

Papa buried Kaleb in the sand. He thought that

was pretty cool :)

Apple Day

September is Apple month and Taylor's class
learned special songs and made t-shirts for a
program they did in the beginning of October.
Of course, Taylor had to invite Grandma Sharon
and Papa to come and watch her sing. She did a
really great job and of course I forgot my camera.
So, I took these with my phone.


Mommy and Taylor painting her shirt for Apple
Day. I work in Taylor's classrom on Friday's and
this is the day we painted the shirts...yes that's
23 Apple shirts that I helped paint :)

while Kaleb was pouting in his room.


They love each other soooo much!
I hope they never outgrow it.

Taylor's 1st Day of Kindergarten!

Taylor's 1st day of Kindergarten went well!
She absolutely loves school and is already
learning how to read!


Taylor picked out her Tinkerbell outfit
to wear. She has been dressing herself
every morning and even has coordinating
bows for her ponytail!


Granny Barbara, Papa, and Grandma Sharon
walked Taylor to school in the morning and
promised her they would be at her house when
she got home! Of course, this made her feel very
special :)


Bradley and Kaleb love walking Taylor
to school each day! The first thing Bradley
says when I get him out of his crib is shoes!
Kaleb makes sure he kisses his sister and tells
her he loves her EVERY morning!


Taylor at her desk! Right before
mommy and Grandma Sharon lost
it. Taylor was all smiles but I was hiding
my tears behind my sunglasses!

Kaleb's Bday Party

Thank you to everyone that came to Kaleb's
