The Beach

Finally, my children are no longer deprived of the beach thanks to Uncle Danny and Aunt DD! We went to Pismo to watch Jordan play football, which he totally ROCKED!! Then we were lucky enough that Dougie didn't get called into a trauma to stay until Saturday. We had such a fun time and happened to be in town the weekend of the Harvest Festival. Uncle Danny drove a fire truck in the parade and Serenity and Landen and Doug were lucky enough to ride with him. Landen is still talking about the fire truck and the beach! Thanks so much Danny, Deanna, Jordan, and Keanu for having us! We also got to go to the Avila Barn where Landen took some pictures... these are for you Uncle Danny. :)

Curly Q

We put curlers in Ren's hair a couple of weeks ago and curly doesn't even begin to explain what her hair looked like. At first she hated it, but then she got used to it!

Bunk Buddies

With the new baby coming in March we are doing some cleaning and rearranging. We are very blessed to have a four bedroom home. Thanks to Aunt Dawna we bought Tanner's "old" bunk beds from her and put them in Ren's room. We are now in the process of combining Landen and Ren's room and making Landen's room into the baby's room. The first night I think it took them 3 hours to finally stop talking and go to sleep. Each night is a challenge trying to get them to sleep, but I am hoping by the time baby comes home they will be adjusted. I know it is probably wishful thinking :) They are having fun that is for sure.

Happy 3rd Birthday Landen!

My little boy is now 3! I can't believe how the time has flown by. Instead of having a party this year we decided to go to Disneyland to celebrate his birthday. My mom and brother came with us, which made it even more fun. His birthday was on Saturday so we ate at Goofy's Kitchen for a late breakfast and then hit Disneyland. We took a late nap and then had pizza and Landen opened a couple presents... his favorite were a toss up between the cars suitcase and the golf clubs. Papa already has him golfing!! Then we went to Disneyland until 12am! After spending 3 days between Disneyland and California Adventure we were excited to come home! The kids did not sleep the entire way home, they talked, and talked, and talked some more, and then the last hour they sang "The Bear Went Over the Mountain" like a broken record!!

Ren's 1st day of School

Today was Serenity's first day of pre-kindergarten at Children's Activity Center. She was all decked out in hello kitty from head to toe. She was excited to play and see all her friends. Mommy was shocked at how easily she went to her class without a tear or a fight or anything... this is HUGE for Miss Serenity. I was sooooo proud of her. She had a fabulous day!

Dancing Machine

So, Serenity has decided to take a stab at dancing. She always gets really excited and then says she is too shy. Some days I have to throw her in the studio and then there was a day like today where she went with little struggle. It is all a control thing, because once she is in there she loves it and can't stop smiling. They first do tap... they have been doing a little routine to Where's my gal? It is adorable! Ballet is second and she loves when the stuffed kitty and dog watch them and then give them kisses after they are done. When she gets out she always asks,"Did I do such a good job?" And of course I say "Yes, you did wonderful!"
