Father's Day 2014

Thank you, Chad, for being such an awesome Daddy to our kids.  They are lucky to have such an active, fun, creative and loving Daddy who spends so much time with them.

We spent Father's Day doing what we do best...playing at the beach!



We also got to spend the previous day with our good friends, Jeff, Kristen and Evie Sachs.  The kids had so much fun playing in the pool!  





Connor and Evie also enjoyed reciting all of their memorized lines and song lyrics while watching Frozen together (what is it with that movie??).  Naturally, they had to have a Frozen blanket on them during the movie too...it was about 85 degrees in the playroom.


And here is a family picture of all of us at the end of the day (2 hours past nap time for the kids, as you can tell).    


For those of you who have been following Jeff's story, I encourage you to read Kristen's new blog where she writes about life since Jeff's accident.

(for those of you who checked this post earlier, I apologize that I had the incorrect web address for the blog, the above has been revised and is correct)

Noodle boy


We went to San Diego over the weekend to visit with Grandma, Grandpa and Auntie Tammie. Connor spent as much time as possible in the pool.  With the aid of the new water noodles Grandma bought, he was able to swim laps all by himself.
"Here comes noodle boy!"




Camille preferred activities that didn't involve getting more than her feet wet.  Actually, she just preferred to stay attached to Mommy...all...weekend...long...



Learning from the pro:


Semi pro:


"Auntie Tammie, what are you doing to my sister?"

Daycare fun

Connor and Camille love their daycare (Mom and Dad love it too)!  They learn so much and have a great time doing it!  On Friday's, they come home with all of the art projects and work they did throughout the week.  I'm amazed that Connor has been there now for almost 3 years and he has yet to bring home the same project twice!
Thanks to social media, we get to see what they're up to as Miss Livia posts pictures and videos on a group Facebook site.  Here are just a few from the past couple of weeks:

Pajama Day...I just love how Connor is holding his sister :)

Happy Mother's Day!

My sweet babies!

And at 18 months old, Camille has a teeny tiny chunk of hair that I can put in a barrette to make her look less like a little boy...

Connor's trip to San Diego

Chad spent a week in Wyoming for work and Grandma wanted to come and take Connor for a few days, so I enjoyed giving all of my attention to Camille.  One kid is so easy!
It was a very hot week here and Connor was lucky enough to be at Grandma and Grandpa Flynn's in the swimming pool!  They also spent a few days at the local library and at the science museum. Such a treat for Connor (and for Mommy)!

Easter 2014

Easter weekend started with plenty of fun and treats at daycare!

Blurry picture, but it's because they were showing me how they can hop like a bunny!

Easter egg painting with Grandma & Aunt Jann.

Camille was obsessed with her basket.  She kept unloading it and then loading it back up.

The Easter Bunny brought Connor lasers for his hands - he is now one step closer to being a real superhero!

Realizing that there were eggs hidden in the front yard!

Easter Egg hunt!

With this being the 4th egg hunt this year, Camille was a master at it!

Our cute little bunnies :)

"What do you mean we can't eat all this candy
at 8:00 am????"

Easter dress on!




She has a small little tuft of red hair...evident when spiked with sunscreen.

Fun at Grandma & Grandpa's pool!
Beautiful Easter weather!


Mommy's happy hour date

We stopped at the San Diego zoo before heading home on Monday.  The play areas were a hit...





...we ended our big weekend by hiding all of the Easter candy collected...
out of sight, out of mind...for Connor at least ;)
