Pirates, Kitty Cats and Good Finds!

Daycare was closed today so Andy and I took shifts with the kiddos. He got the morning and I got the afternoon. Part of the afternoon was naps (which I took part in as well) and the other part was playing outside and being in aw of my sons ever growing imagination! He was pretending to be a pirate. When I asked if we could go to a tropical island he said yes. I said "but what will we eat?" and he said "dorito chips!" So we proceeded to take the ship to the store and buy doritos for our stay on our tropical island. I asked if I have to be a parent there and he said "no, you can just swim in the water" Love it! Ava decided that she was a kitty cat on the ship. Too funny!

The other pictures are of the great find that we got at Market Night. La Monique Boutique had this wonderful hat! I wanted to buy another head band but I was down to my last $10 in cash. It was between the two and I just had to have the hat. I mean, Ava just needed it afterall!

Market Night

We hadn't been to Market Night in Redlands in months. Yesterday I was finally feeling better after my epic sinus/gland infection. The weather was great so we figured we would get out and have some fun. We had dinner (super yummy baked yam with cinnamon and sugar) then walked around a bit, picked out some fruit and even saw one of our friends, Elif and her parents!

Andy is 33!

My husband is officially older than me until Monday. He turned 33 on Tuesday. We had celebrated over the weekend so we just went to Red Robin for dinner so that he didn't have to cook. He is the house chef so he couldn't cook on his birthday :-) Then we celebrated with a vegan apple strudel so that I could enjoy some too. I love him so much! I am a blessed wife!

May 17th (a Monday)

Ava woke up very happy today! Ava: Mama, I so happy! Me: I'm glad you are in a good mood today! Ava: Yeah, want purple tinkerbell hat! Me: Yeah, tinkerbell makes me happy too! Love this little devil :-)

Great Weekend!

Our pretty good seats


The happy birthday message to Andy that I almost missed and he missed completely!


Dinner at the Knothole Club


Enjoying time at Tumble Tots!


We had an action packed, fun weekend this weekend! On Saturday we went to celebrate Miss H's 3rd birthday at tumble tots. The kids really enjoy the birthday parties there. Maybe an idea for Zach's 4th?! Then on Saturday night Andy and I enjoyed an Angel's game and dinner at the knothole club (restaurant over looking the game) to celebrate Andy turnind 33! His big day is tomorrow :-) On Sunday I attended a good friends baby shower. She is welcoming her second child, a baby boy and we all can't wait to meet him! Will make a new post for those pix.

Don't leave for even a minute!

Andy met up with a friend and I haven't been feeling well. The kids took full advantage of this and ransacked the house! I don't know how they did it, but they managed to get the shelf off the wall. The army man was found in the hole that used to house the screw that used to keep the shelf up!

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope all of you mothers out there had a wonderful Mother's Day! I had as wonderful of a day as you can with two little ones. The funny thing was when they were having a screaming match and I said they weren't allowed to do that today because it is Mother's Day. All day, whenever Ava would start, Zach would tell her to stop because it is Mother's Day. I wonder if I can make up a new day each day to get them to stop. Oh, you can't yell today because it is pickle day, haha! I got the cutest gifts from them, handprint ceramic hands and an apple pen holder. They were so excited for me to open them. The picture is on my camera, but I will add it soon. I am so thankful to be their mom! I never imagined how much I would love them even when they were all I dreamt about.

The CUTEST picture EVER!

Ava loved seeing Belle and she was a bit shy at first. I think she was wondering how the heck Belle left her movie and was standing there in front of her. Once she opened up it was priceless! Totally worth the hour long wait in line :-)

Disneyland with the Grandparents!

Zach and Ava just loved showing their grandparents all around their Disneyland stomping ground! Everyone had a wonderful day and it was a lot longer than we are used to :-) I was surprised at how great everyone did. Especially Andy! We finally ventured the line so that Ava could see the Princesses. We were just around the usual nap time so I wasn't sure how it would go. Surprisingly, she was so excited that the nap didn't even matter! Zach got some one on one time with his grandma and grandpa so he loved that too. The grandparents left this morning and we are all a little sad over it.

A Great Week!

A Scrapbook page of the big moment!

We've had a wonderful week with lots of fun adventures! The Oregon grandparents came to town and the kids loved it. They really love their family and I am lucky to have such great inlaws. They coincided their trip with our friends wedding so that we could go without kids. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids, but a break from them every once in a while is nice.
