Fathers Day

Happy Fathers Day to the Best Dad in the world. We love our hard working dad. On the Saturday before Fathers Days we got to spend the morring having fun with our dad. We went out to breakfast and then went to the golf course to hit some balls. Adam was so excited when we got to the golf course that he couldn't stop smiling.
Two happy golfers

Lady Bug Fun

For a little back yard fun I get the kids lady bugs a few times a year for the kids to play with and they also help eat any bad bugs that are in our plants. The girls loved them and Adams didn't know what to make of them because any lady bug we put on his would fly away. I guess they knew they might get killed if they were too close to a little boy.

Schools Out

End of school year partySo this year I deiced to be the crazy mom and have and end of the school year party at our house and invited both Addie's & Emma's class over for a pizza party ( 24 kids). It end up being so much fun and all the kids were so well behaved.
This was Addie's last year at preschool and we were so lucky to get the best pre-k preschool teacher in the world, Teacher Treasa. We just love her and will miss her so much!
Emma also had a great teacher, Teacher Laura. She was Addie's teacher a few years ago and we hope that she will still be teaching when Adam gets to preschool so he can have her too. She is so loving and is really good at letting the kids be themselves and not push them into growing up to fast. We love her! Thank you Teacher Laura for a great year.

Adam's new love

Adam got a new hat a few weeks ago and he loves it! He eats, sleeps and playes with it on. He wears in forwards and backwards and looks so cute with it on. I love my little boy.

Last day with our ducks

Kiss good bye

Happy hug and a sad good bye.
It was time to take the ducks back and Addie was not happy at all. She did a great job saying good bye but when we got into the car she lost it. She knew from the being that we were taking the ducks back when they got to big for the box we were keeping them in and well they grew and it was time. Addie cryed for 45 min. after we said good bye and I felt really bad, so I asked here what I could do to help her feel better and she said she wanted a monkey and that she would stop crying if I got here a monkey. I don't think so!

Sorry I have not posted in along time. Chad just fixed our internet yesterday so I'm back.
We love Ventura, we have had great weather the last 2 months and have spend alot of time outside. I had been wanting to get beach pictures of my kids done and I finally got around to it. I had alot of fun take these pictures and by the end of the afternoon I had alot of great beach pictures.

Easter

Easter Sunday

We had a great Easter this year with our big egg hunt. We had over most of our family and a few friends, & like alawys the kids out numbers the adults. I guess Adam can never say he has no one to play with when family is around. Adam has 2 couisons on each side of the family that are the same age as him.

March a month of Fun

This last month has been so busy. I didn't get time to post about our family visitors. We had all of Chad's family here. Mike came from San Fancisco, Nate & his girlfriend (Judith) came from Arizona, & Lisa & Daniel came from Utah. It had been a very long time since we had all been together. The kids love having so many aunts & uncles around to play with. One of the first days with the family we went to the Santa Barbara zoo. For once the adults out-numbered the kids and I actually got to look at the animals instead of chase children around.

Chad, Mike, Gary, Nate & Lisa

Addie had the best of time with Uncle Mike and his guitar. They even made up their own songs.

We love our ducks

We our having so much fun with our ducks. The kids love playing with them & I love takeing pictures of them together. Here are just a few of the pictures I have taken in the last few days.
