Happy Mother's Day!!

Happy Mother's day to all the great mother's out there that I know and look up to and especially to my very own mother!!

The reason I have the privilege to be called a mother!! 

Elijah loves and looks up to his sister, and
this picture captures that perfectly!!!













They were being so sweet and cooperative I couldn't stop taking pictures of them!!


Cheesy kids!


















Me with my sweet kids!














A baby bump picture, although it's pretty far past the "bump" stage!!
I'm almost 23 weeks!

Chloe hugging the baby! She is hoping and
insisting that she is getting a baby sister....
We aren't finding out what we are having
though, so she's going to have to wait and see!!




Fairytale Town with a Friend!

I was going through the camera and found some old pictures I forgot to post!! A while back the kids and I met my friend Stefanie and her cute little boy Aidan at Fairytale town for the afternoon.  The kids had fun and it was nice to catch up with Stefanie!

Trip to Palm Springs!

The beginning of April we took a trip to Palm Springs with Don and Eve.  While the weather wasn't quite as hot as I had been hoping for, (I like it hot!) it was much better then the rain we had been having back home!! Juan and Cari and the girls were in San Diego the same week, so they came over for a day.  The kids had fun playing together!


Eli and Savannah playing together... As a side note, I love the way Elijah says Savannah!


This is where Chloe and Scarlett spent most of their time!


We also went to the Living Desert, which is a zoo of sorts!


They had a little petting zoo area, which Elijah loved!



Chloe petting a goat


Eli's turn



Long day for a little boy!


My little cuties!!




Having fun with Daddy!


Chloe's favorite game!!



Elijah wasn't quite as sure about everything!


Cold and wanting to be held!



Oh, I'm actually okay!


Trying on his goggles!



The best picture I could get of them Easter morning!

Looking for Easter eggs!



Daddy helping them out!


Jackpot!!




Digging in!



More swimming!



My goofy girl!

Swimming with Nana!




She loves her goggles!

Family picture in the pool!
This was the day we felt the earthquake down in Mexico,
but very near the border!  It was the first earthquake I've
experienced and it was pretty exciting!



We went to a nearby park to fly kites!


Elijah getting tangled up in the string!!!




Chloe having fun trying to get the kite up in the air!


Eli not sure what he's doing...



Yay! Flying a kite, finally!


The whole gang!












Chloe on the merry-go-round!


Eli liked these little spinners


And he always likes these rocking toys!


On our way home!!! Conked out listening to her books/music!











A happy boy for the most part!!
A fun trip and one we look forward to doing again!
