CHLA Fundraiser and more...

Graduation Day at church... London and her best friend Bridget being recognized for graduating from preschool :)
It was also our Sunday School Lemonade/Cookie sale to raise funds for Literally Healing a book program at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. We raised a lot of funds that should buy a lot of books, hurray!



Our Family
Posing in front of the trains... he was so happy his eyes about popped out of his head.




Just another fun day.
Porto's one of our favorite "quick" stops for delicious affordable food.... its the best!


Hope everyone is doing well. We are praying for our families and friends affected by the tornado's in Oklahoma!

Tomorrow is London's Preschool Graduation. We are excited for the ceremony, we went out and she picked out a special outfit for the event... she first picked out these leopard parachute like pants with a hot pink hello kitty shirt, Mom got her to change her mind to the outfit we bought... pics will be posted soon ;)

Ewan steals our hearts, as well as his sisters, everyday as he says the words, "Sisssy I wuv you!" "undun I wuv you"

Mommy has been playing softball on Monday nights, so far the team is 2-1! And yes she has made contact with the ball and made it all around to home plate to score... Her daddy would be proud :)

Eric is wrapping up another 10 weeks of school and will shortly than after begin summer school. Things are going really well for him.

God is good!

Love and miss you all!

Ice Cream...bugs....why not?
Ewans favorite part of the bug fair, the push up ice cream!

Small world, London called it "big world" Ewan said "again"..."again!"
Kids voicing the need for food.
Up in the air... Dumbo Ride!


Great weekend. Grammy and Papa came to visit. We were able to spend time with Super Granny and Grandpa during the week.
11 years ago Eric and I were at Disney World so it only seemed right to be at Disneyland this past weekend while celebrating 11 years of marriage!

Mothers Day Weekend

On Friday evening Eric took me to a yummy tavern to eat, and then off to hear Sara Groves in concert.
Cheers to being a mother!
Free ribs!!! Why we even ordered food, I have no idea. Delish!
Kidspace on Saturday... they were having different activities for Mothers Day.
London was chosen to be an ANT during a demonstration. She is the "nurse" Ant who takes care of the queens babies.
At kidspace making mothers day cards for her Grandma's.... on their way to you :)
Painting on the leaf... shortly after this a little girl took her paintbrush and demonstrated a "woman's wrath" to Ewan by swiping it across his face! LOL
The Bug Cafe.

London found a BUG!
Snuggling on their momma at the Americana on Mothers Day.





Eric took us to a new restaurant for dinner. Italian. Delish!
The final finale of the day CRUMBS CUPCAKES!
we made a lot of crumbs.

I had a wonderful Mothers Day weekend. Friday morning Eric let me sleep in. Then he took me to a wonderful tavern for dinner, and then a concert. Saturday morning he let me sleep in. Then to kidspace for fun and mothers day activities. Saturday evening I volunteered for Family Promise at our church. Amazing to see these families and their children. The mothers I met that evening were strong women. A humbling experience. So thankful for my family and the things God has given us. Sunday morning Eric let me sleep in! I was awoken with breakfast in bed and a bouquet of beautiful flowers. Off to church to be with the wonderful children of West Pres. Sunday afternoon and evening Eric took us to the Americana. We had a wonderful time playing and having dinner at a new Italian restaurant. The evening ended with cupcakes for kiddo's and Eric and I snuggling up to our favorite show with some ice cream!!!

BLESSED AM I!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Mothers Day!!! Love to my mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, cousins, friends... you have taught me so much, you are amazing strong women, loving supportive mothers, thank you for your continued support of me in my motherhood :)
