Emme's 6th Birthday!

Emme got a phone call from her Daddy wishing her happy birthday before she went to school.

Birthday Treats at school, popcorn and juice

A hit with the kids!

Look at that big 1st grade 6 year old!

This is Emme's little friend Anna who sits across from her.  She made that little necklace for Emme for her birthday.

This is "the garden" in Ms Layton's classroom.  So creative.  Ms Layton previously was a junior high science teacher and they do a lot of science.  They get to look in the microscope every day and guess what it is they are looking at.  How cool!

Counting with the class

Joseph's Favorites

Ireland

Queensryche

Our kids are back in school and Joseph's teacher asked each of the students to bring in a picture of their favorite band and also a picture of somewhere they want to go.  As you can see, these are Joseph's choses.  He also just put pictures of himself and things he likes to do all over his binder.  I love that he chose a picture of himself as a toddler pulling the toilet paper off the roll in the bathroom.  Cute boy!  Along with that is a picture of his family and of course playing football.

Huntington Beach

My view from my spot in the warm sand and the warm sunshine.  Beautiful!

Look at him go!

My Surfer Boy!


He finally had to come in so we could take that long drive back to reality and get our kids.  We had a wonderful time but were glad to see our cute kidlets and be home.  Thanks to wonderful friends that kept our kids for us we had this getaway!

Downtown Disney

One of my favorite things at Disneyland is to watch through the windows in the candy shop and see what and how they are making these wonderful treats!

Aren't these amazing!  We all need to use our imagination more often.

Almost wouldn't want to eat them.

They have this shop at Downtown Disney where you can build your own remote control car.  It's so cool!  You pick out the body and take it to the building area to assemble. 

Even big boys love toys!

Kevin and I had the chance to go to Irvine, CA for the weekend.  We were celebrating our 13th anniversary a little early since Emme has now claimed our anniversary date as her birthday.  Friday night we went to Downtown Disney, strolled through the stores, had dinner, listened to the live music and watched the fireworks.  So fun!

So much to choose from!

Bitty Babies

After Felicity's trip to the Beauty Salon to get her hair done


Happy Birthday Emme!

Our last destination was American Girl doll store in Hollywood.  Emme's birthday is in August so we did her birthday trip now.  She and I had a great time browsing through the store picking out her presents.  She chose an ice skating outfit, violin set, outfit for her bitty baby, praline the cat, carrier for the cat.

Andersen's Split Pea Soup









Dinner at the famous Andersen's Restaurant in Buellton, CA.  Near Solvang, which we drove through after dinner.  It was all so beautiful!  The kids want to come here again and stay for awhile.  Sounds good to me!

Pismo Beach














Kevin rented a board and surfed for 4 hours.  We all played and got sunburned.
