We made it.

After driving forever we finally made it to Oceanside late last night. The traffic from Vegas to here was stop and go a lot. Everyone was pooped and sick of driving. We basically unpacked our stuff when we got here and hit the sack! When we woke up we realized we had a pretty good view of the ocean. Well we are off to the big D-land! Will hopefully get some good pics of the kids and stuff!

Off to Disneyland

After packing for what seemed like 3 solid days we woke at the crack of dawn to head off to the happiest place on earth. We rented a mini van with Rachels parents. Here are a few pics of the kids when they woke up. They were excited to say the least.

Cash floating on back with Ava belly flopping off the diving board in the background

I wish I got better pics but Ava would bellyflop every time she jumped off the diving board. It had to hurt!

Cash's favorite cereal

Cash loves Quaker cinnamon oatmeal squares. He picks this cereal out every time we go to the store!

Sunday morning

So I just got this free blogger app for my phone and thought it would be a great way for me to use our blog more for keeping memories etc.. Anyway Rachel had to work on Sunday so I had to get the kiddos ready for church. Cash is easy. I'm not very good at fixing girl hair yet. I'm trying...

BIRTHDAYS!

Recently, both Ava and Cash have celebrated their birthdays (well Cash will next week, but we already had his party.) Ava turned 3 and Cash 2. Ava chose to have a Spongebob birthday and of course Cash chose Yo Gabba Gabba. I wish I would have taken a picture of the cupcakes I made for Cash's party, they turned out pretty cute. I made cupcakes with each of the characters faces from Yo Gabba Gabba. I was quite proud of myself. Mike and I enjoyed seeing how much fun both of them had at their parties.

Here are a few pictures from their parties...

Catch up

OK, I know I haven't been the best at updating my blog lately, but I will try and be better. Just a quick blog about what we have been up to lately. Mike and I are both still working and being a mom and dad. We are working on finishing our backyard, and have actually taken a liking to landscaping/gardening, it is fun! Ava is taking dance and swimming lessons. She will also be starting Preschool in a few months (she is so excited). She also LOVES playing with her cousin Max. We are sad that they will be leaving us in a few weeks, but wish them the best, and we will have to do lots of Skyping, and have occasional visits. Cash is also taking swimming, loves to be outside, and enjoys watching Yo Gabba Gabba, and Toy Story. It amazes me how fast kids grow up and how fast they learn, and don't forget the never ending supply of energy! Chief (our dog), on the other hand, has had better days. About 7 months ago he started having some seizures, which eventually got bad enough that he had to spend 3-4 days in the dog hospital. Now he is on medication and they seem to be under control, just a few little ones here and there. But doing much better.

No big summer plans, just having fun, camping trips, and playing with family and friends. We do have a few trips planned towards the end of the year, Oregon and Disney Land, so we are looking forward to those.
