We recently took a trip up north, it was alot of fun, the kids especially liked the mini horse farm and ostrich and emu feeding farm.





I have to say that this has got to be Frankie and Jackson's favorite store! When we were approaching the store Jackson ran to the doorway and yelled "Billy Mayes!" LOL!

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

What are you up to now?!?

I woke up one morning and Frances had drawn these faces on everyone, they were pretending to be different animals!

Oh gosh!

Happy Anniversary to US

Just spent the weekend in Palm Springs at a great place with great food and perfect weather! So nice to be alone with my honey for two whole days =) Just enough time to spend with each other and not worry about the babes! Happy seventh wedding anniversary to us! =)

Happy Birthday Jackson!

Jackson turns 4!

Excited to have his grandparents over and to get a package from auntie Megan!

Making cupcakes for preschool and striking a pose at Camelot

Beach Bums

So we are finally settled in our new home! This is soo chill and we are officially beach bums! haha. Things are going great, the kids are settled in their new schools, I'm getting adjusted meeting new friends as well, all the new parents here are really nice. I noticed right away that everyone in our community was actively involved in our schools, I've joined the PTA and have the girls enrolled in dance lessons already!

We love it when Jack gets home early and is able to walk to the beach with us. He's teaching Frances and Jackson to surf and fish while Emily and I walk around in search of shells or build sand castles.

Frankie's first day of kindergarten (can you see the excitement bubbling?) =D

Jackson rides his bike to his first day of preschool

Summer Lovin'

Checking out the monkeys at the Phoenix zoo, although the only monkeys I caught in the picture were mine, all four of them!

Nighttime swimming at Grandma Great's

And I found another little monkey in the bucket where we were supposed to be filling our water guns in!

Watching the elephants

Fun swimming at Carter's: watermelon break and board practice

Summer Fun

Well, it looks like we just started enjoying our summer and now it's time to go back to school. We've had a pretty busy summer so far with summer school, speech, swim lessons, swimming at friends and grandma's, soccer and beach days! Things have been great, Frances is really excited to go to kindergarden and Jackson equally can't wait to check out his new preschool. Emmie and I will have a little bit of time to ourselves =).
