All grown up.......

My lil princess turned two this month!! So of course this called for some dress-up time!! She just wanted to twirl around and call herself a princess the whole time!!! It was pretty cute! Next time I should bring my video camera too!!

PineValley........

once again...we headed to the mountains this past weekend! Just to PineValley for the day! The kids love playing in the water, and jumping off every boulder in sight...(which can be allot)! we love escaping to the fresh air and endless playground for the kiddos!

Look who's 2!!!

our little princess is 2! She turned 2 on saturday! I think she is 2 going on 12~ She talks up a storm and will talk to anyone who is willing to listen! She can hold her own with her 2 big brothers...although they spoil her rotten!.....so I guess she's got us all wrapped around her little finger!! Happy Birthday to our little girl!!!

(birthday cake time....)

(she loved opening presents.....)

A wagon ride with Daxon......

....and a birthday kiss for the road!!!!

Camping.........

We decided to escape the heat this past weekend and head for the mountains!! the boys played in the river and dirt the whole time of course....and it didnt take long for the little misses to do the same! We had so much fun!...and the kiddos were in heaven!! The boys asked if we could just move there!....(that would be nice!).
(of course, I am always on picture overload...so just prepare yourself to keep scrolling down...)

Look who's in 1st grade!!!!

I'll admit...it wasnt the easiest thing to send my little boy....(or big I guess I should say) to school for the whole day! I went to the class room and even went out to the playground for a few minutes to make sure he was ok....! I just cant believe he is getting so big! I guess that means Im getting older too....!

trip to california..........

we took another trip out to California to visit my fam last month! We had SOO much fun! We always have a hard time leaving....!!!

The Drive-in!!

below: I have been going to this same drive-in since I was a little kid! Im so glad Ive been able to do the same with my kiddos! We went and saw the new Harry Potter! Here we are with my nephew and his beautiful wife! I wished we lived closer!! On the way there, the kids were super tired from being at the beach all day....so they all had a lil cat nap! My 2nd oldest borrowed his sisters glasses and fell asleep with them on....it was soo funny! I was talking to him...not even realizing he was asleep!
