Bug Fair, Disneyland

Let the Bug Fair BEGIN.
Tarantula perhaps?

This is what my husband bought for our daughter to bring home as a pet! UMMM is he crazy!!! That purchase was quickly returned, no need for store credit, thank you and good-bye!


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

Up close and personal with a silk worm, these are now living in our house!
Ahhh the end Bug Fair, till next year!!!
Thank you Aunt Helen and Uncle Ken for letting us crash at your place!! London and Aunt Helen are making pancakes for breakfast!
DISNEYLAND!
So happy to be going to Disneyland!

Ewan look at the camera... nope.
Dumbo ride, another fave.
The Sword in the Stone, PULL EWAN!
Loved the Carousel.

Her favorite Princess at the moment, meaning this day, Aerial.


Princess Belle
Princess Tiana, although she didn't seem very happy, a bit tired perhaps princess? ;)Wanted to look like a kitty, this is very serious stuff folks.
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 :)

Life Moves Pretty Fast Sometimes...

It was open house at London's soon to be school. :) She was so excited and had such a great time, mom got emotional. We can't believe our baby is starting kindergarten!!!
Checking out the different classrooms.


It was 96 degrees outside and we were having fun playing in water and enjoying the nice breeze that comes down our street.




Waking up from a nap.
This is how he likes to sleep.
London and Hopscotch. She drew her first hopscotch on her own, and had so much fun playing.

Look at that form folks.

We had to go to the local laundry mat one day... the kids thought this was a new playground, tried to hurry and get them out before someone got shut inside one of those dryers! Crazy town.



We hope all of you are doing well. We are finally rid of our bad colds, just a few snotty noses on occasion, but for the most part all gone, HURRAY!
Eric is busy with school, he got another scholarship, YAY! He is doing really well, we are very proud of him. Still auditioning, hoping something comes in soon. Prepping for camp with the youth group for summer.
Ewan is our climber, in and out of crib at nap time, luckily not at bed time, he still takes two naps a day. He is our human garbage disposal. Good eater. A talker, wonder who he gets that from ;) Still going strong in gymnastics.
London is extremely excited about beginning Kindergarten in August. She is still doing very well in her preschool classes, and her gymnastic camp on Fridays. A bug birthday party is being prepped for her 5th birthday next month!
Rachel is busy working with Heidi on their shows and had a pitch today, waiting to hear the result. In the meantime, still creating other possibilities, this has really taken off for the both of them. She is also busy prepping Sunday school for the summer. And just enjoyed a wonderful Mothers Night Out at church she had organized....looks like they all want to do it again sooner than anticipated. :)

Hope that catches you up on us. Would love to hear how you are doing!! Don't be afraid to write or call!!
