Disneyland with Gerte and Zoey!


We're going to Disneyland instead of school!


First time seeing Pinocchio at the park!










Zach and his new pirate gun shooting the Transformer!


Our new pins!

We had a mommy and big kids day at Disneyland on Tuesday! It was such a great day for Zach and I to bond. It's amazing how different life is with just one child :-) We hadn't told the kids where we were going so we went to pick up our friends and told the kids at the same time. They were so excited! I think the mom's were more excited though. Zach and I also got our first pin sets and I did my first trade. I wondered how I hadn't heard of this before?!

The Things They Say!

My kids are just talkers! Zach understands and has conversations about just about anything. They both continue to amaze me. I need to start writing stuff down the minute it happens because I am missing so much with my lack of memory skills. I think I need cognitive therapy for this :-) We were putting Ava to bed one night this week and he said "are you sad, sweetie? It's ok." I thought him calling her sweetie was just way too cute. Now today, Ava is freaking out because I put shorts on. I guess I haven't worn them in a long time and my legs are pretty pale, but come on! She says "No mommy. Get dressed. Need pants." Hahaha!

The Living Desert!


Loving the carousel!


Mr Handsome takes a good pic!


This guy either really loved me or hated me, but he followed me around!


I want a pet owl! This guy was about 6 inches tall and so cute!


Mama hummingbird!


Baby hummingbird!


Pretty butterfly that really liked my shirt!


My pretty butterfly :-)


Love the contrasting colors of this pic!


The coolest toy trains we have ever seen!


Z and A checking out the giraffes!


Just about melted my heart!


Enjoying some "dorito chips"

We had a great trip out to the Living Desert yesterday. I'm so glad we got out there when we did because it is starting to get so hot! We still had a great time though. We met up with another family from our mom's group and the kids had a great time exploring and seeing all the stuff that we didn't get to see last time. I was glad we made it out in time for the butterfly and hummingbird exhibit too. I guess it even gets too hot for those poor little guys come May!

Earth Day Layouts





In honor of Earth Day I did a couple of layouts involving the outdoors and how much we love to enjoy everything our Earth has to offer. The kids even planted sunflower seeds to learn how to take care of them and watch them grow (this was before Earth day, but it was still a good lesson!) Be kind to our Earth. We want to keep it around for a long, long time! Today we also went to the Living Desert in Palm Desert. We were certainly one with nature out there :-)

I love digital scrapbooking!







I have been on this adventure in my life for a while now and I still feel like I learn something new every day! I got my start at www.scrapgirls.com and have recently found a site that has super cute kits (www.scraporchard.com). If you have little kids and want to document their lives without the glue and scissors, then digital is for you!

Rain, Rain, You Can Stay!





We had a great time playing in the rain a couple of weeks ago! The funny part was me using Zach's Buzz Lightyear umbrella to protect my camera. My umbrella was missing so I went to buy a new one. Wouldn't you know it turned up today. Guess I didn't look as well as I thought.

More Allie Pictures for Ava's Birthday!













Some Cute Pictures from the Week


Zach and Ava enjoying their first corn of spring!



Zach showing Ava how to use the mouse and play Starfall


Just relaxin' on a Friday afternoon!

We've had a pretty boring week since Ava's birthday. Boring is good with two little ones though :-)

Scrapbook Layouts Galore!
