Celebration Park

Today we took a trip into Moreno Valley and went to Celebration Park. All of us had a great time, and by the end Lizzie and Ella didn't want to leave. I love when you can get wet when it is hot outside. Thanks Bagley girls for all the fun today!!!

Gardening

The past week and a half I have been taking care of Andrea's garden while she has been on vacation. This year I really wanted to start a garden, but just didn't get it going in enough time. Our family has LOVED all the wonderful treats we have gotten from her garden. Lizzie has been eating the tomatoes whole and ALWAYS asking for more.. Come on garden produce faster so we can enjoy a little more before Andrea gets home!!!! Hopefully we can start one here in the fall and get our gardening on. It is so nice to be able to walk out her back doors, and see what is ready to eat and enjoy!!! Thanks Andrea for all the fabulous veggies!!! You have inspired me!

Hopefully Drake (their dog) doesn't kill their whole garden before they get back. He has eaten mostly all their plants (another reason we only have fish as pets). Hopefully he will let some of the garden survive.

Happy Birthday Krislynn

Krislynn is ONE!!!

I can't believe my baby is one. I know everyone says that time flies by fast, but when you have more than one kid time sure does pick up, and before I know it she will be graduating high school. This year has been so much fun with Krislynn. she is such a good baby, and oh does she love your Mom and Dad. She isn't a big fan of anyone else (besides Andrea) She loves to walk, and play toys with her sister. She loves chocolate milk just like Lizzie, and she is sure a great eater. I'm so glad Heavenly Father blessed me with her. I love you Krislynn!!!

So excited about her birthday breakfast!

Lizzie LOVES to draw and this is the first time where she has drawn a person and added all the features. She is such a great artist. I love that she gave the person a bellybutton. Too cute!!!

Happy 27th Birthday David

For David's birthday this year we spent it in the OC. We first took the girls to Oma and Papa's House (where they enjoy the day with Marla and Papa at the Pioneer celebration in Riverside) while David and I headed for Ruth Chris Steakhouse, and oh was it heavenly. It was the best steak I have ever eater. It just melted in your mouth... and we even got to see Dallas Reins The Weather Man ( he was there at a Jewish wedding). Then we headed over to Angel's Game with our great buddies Ryan and Heddie (all month Party for Ryan, Heddie, and David) . We had a great time, and now David you are an OLD man!!! Sucka!!! But I love you so much!!! Happy Birthday!

Logan,Sierra,and Lizzie

We have been having the greatest weather the past couple weeks, but I think it has come to an end. At the Living Desert it was 103 and then next day at the Beach it was 67. It was freezing, but we still had a great time. Sierra and Logan got in the water while the girls and I stayed dry and tried to get warm. Thank goodness for jackets and dry towels.

Party in Palm Springs

Lilly and Krislynn

My beautiful hummingbird

Lizzie and Lilly

Jayne and Lilly invited us to join them at the Living Desert in Palm Spring. We had a great time besides the amazing heat. We didn't make it to see everything, but we still had a great time. Lizzie and Krislynn loved seeing all the animals and spending time with Lilly. Then we went to PF Chang's for lunch, and saw the dinosaurs on the way home. We had a great day.

Girls Night Eclipse

(Jayne, Megan, Angel, Jenny, and me)
A couple friends of mine went and saw Eclipse when it first came out. I know I'm late about posting about it, but better late than never right? We had a great time, plus we even had Submarina first... now that is a GREAT NIGHT!!! Jenny it looks like I'm holding your hand :)

Dress Up Fun

So the Dress Up Party has begun. Lizzie found her dress up box that I have been filling for about a year now with tons of fun stuff to dress up in. She loves the high heels, she can walk in them way better than I can, the fairy wings, tiara, and princess wand. She always wants Sister to play along so she helped Krislynn dress up too. Oh my girls are just the cutest!

Krislynn is walking!!!

Parker the Police Officer

Lizzie exploring like Diego

Marla and the kids came out for a day of fun. We went to my friend Angel's House for Swim Day, and then we headed to Fingerprints Museum. Let me just tell you the kids had a great time. Parker LOVED all the police stuff. He would walk around with it all in his hands and NOT put it down. Lizzie loved shopping in Wal-Mart, and putting in in her cart. Krislynn loved the slides and tubes she could crawl though. Lincoln loved the Police stuff as well, but he liked to play with these huge blocks they have and built stuff with Lizzie. And last but not least Delaney loved it all. She was everywhere and getting into everything. Thanks Marla for bring the kids out to play.

Family Pictures in Texas

Here are some of the pictures we got taken while we were in Texas. The last time we got pictures taken was the day before David and I got married. The family has expanded with grandchildren and we have lost one. So family pictures were necessary!

Krislynn and Lizzie's New Rides

Since Krislynn was ready for the BIG GIRL seat, we finally got Lizzie a booster and Krislynn took Lizzie's old car seat. We tried to make the switch fun and exciting, but Lizzie wasn't going for it. She wanted nothing to do with her new seat, and she wanted Sister out of her seat. After a couple tears Lizzie rode in her NEW seat, and she has loved it ever since. Hooray for my 2 BIG GIRLS!!!
