Twilight Camp 2010

Dalen's first year at Twilight Camp for Cub Scouts...It was a long week {M-F 4-8pm} but this will be his kick off to earning lots of acheivements...

Noah's Summer Exploring

While waiting for Deveon and Lexi at swim class each night for the two weeks, Noah and I had our time to explore around the park...One night he found a lady bug and I thought this moment was so sweet until he put it back down on the cement and gave it a big...

STOMP!

{and yes his crocs are on the wrong feet as always}

...he is all boy after all...here he is chasing some ducks too ;)

Swim Lessons

Swim 2010

Deveon is doing well considering his two traumatic experiences with pools in the last few years. He can now go under water completley with 'no hands' as he likes to show us all the time...and is working on swimming by kick~board...He loves the water though ;)

This was Lexi's first swim session and she is doing amazing...She can go under water with no hands, and swims by kick~board all on her own...she loves swimming!

To the Beach...

So Far In June...

We spent the weekend in the bay area with our friends the Stoeckles...We went to Great America on Friday and then spent Saturday afternoon on the beach in Santa Cruz...

Josh and I have a special place in our hearts for Santa Cruz. It was our little place while waiting for Dalen to join our family...then the craziness began with one kid after another ;)

I think Noah thought 'Hey since that white snow tasted pretty good, why shouldn't this brown sand?'

Miles Photo Shoot ;)

My good friend Megan is just starting out her photography business venture and I was lucky enough to have her practice on the kids...{after looking at these though you wouldn't think she needs any practice} she has such a great eye and the pictures turn out just amazing! Enjoy!

Her website is lolamemories...

{Dexter, Sarah and Lexi...Austin is missing}

I've been busy busy busy getting ready for a few boutiques this summer. First I will be at the EG Park Farmers Market on Wed night May 12th 4-7pm and at the Spring Festival on Saturday May 22nd 10-6pm. Then again at the farmers market on Wed's: June 2nd, July 7th & maybe August 4th. This is strictly just a hobby of mine where I really just make enough to keep the business alive...I have had fun learning a little bit about having a little business ;)

Mother's Day

Mother's Day was fun this year. We started our weekend out on Friday by going on our super date. The babysitter come over at 3pm and Josh and I went and saw Iron Man 2 at the Imax and then ate at the Esquire Grill downtown Sacramento. Then it was off ot the Daughtry/ Lifehouse concert at Arco Arena. It was a lot of entertainment for me and baby's ears for one day ;)

Gifts...

Then Saturday we took the family out to El Torito cause Daddy 'got a call' and Sunday I got breakfast in bed and I enjoyed my gifts from the kids they made at school along with a sweet rose bouqet from Daddy. I love my little family and hope all the moms enjoyed their day and/or weekend.

It IS a girl ;)
