This afternoon it was 71 degrees and sunny out and then this rolled in!!  Can you believe this hail?!

The kids were cracking me up pulling stuff out of the kitchen drawer to play with.  They were having a great time!

This is Haleigh and Chris working on a birdhouse they built together.  Final touches…pink paint…imagine that !

Then we went to fly the kite!

It was so great to be back home.  It felt so good to have my babies in my arms.  I missed them so much!  It was great to take the whole fam to the circus and glad Maw and YaYa were here too! We all had a great time!  My fav was the motorcycles in the ball of steel…craziness!  Jamesy loved the elephants!  What a great day and fun memories made…

Last day there…didn’t have time to take a lot of pictures but didn’t want to leave out creepy girl picture that we had to keep covered up while we were in the room!  She was everyone at this hotel…weird.

Ok, this picture just makes me laugh and I will forever remember this time on the beach.  We didn’t have a lot of time on our hands and by the time we made it to the beach, we only had 10 minutes to get our toes in the Pacific but we were DERTERMINED to do it before we left.  One trolley, ferry, and bus ride later…we made it!  In the short 10 minutes we spent on the beach at Coronado, we managed to get my camera in the hands of a professional photog.  Oh my, he was funny.  He changed all the setting in my camera and just started shooting.  Let’s just say we left with tears in our eyes…tears from laughing! 

I feel so fortunate that we had this amazing opportunity to attend the CPC!  It was full of so many resources, information, and great people!  We learned so many cool things that I can’t wait to share with the kiddos at LUMC!

We had one evening that we were allowed to go eat dinner on the town. We went to Old Town and ate some authentic Mexican.  We were quite proud of ourselves for navigating ourselves around!

   

One of my favorite things about San Diego was the flowers…everywhere…not matter where you looked, something was in bloom!  Loved it!

Flying over the Rocky Mountains…beautiful.

We took Haleigh out to ride her bikes on some flat ground.  We took both because we weren’t how she would do!  She did great and she is so fast; especially on the hot wheels one!  She was super excited about her new helmet too! 

James tried to ride but his legs just aren’t long enough. Didn’t stop him though!  He just did it like this…

We had a great family day yesterday!  We went to the aquarium, lunch, shopping, car wash (big family fun)…it was so nice to just be together all day!  These spider crabs were so cool!

We are trying to get Jamesy used to wearing a hat.  He’s just not a fan!

So we are getting ready for dance and Haleigh comes down with these knee high socks on and says, “look, I have leg warmers.”  I made them a tad more authentic and cut out the toes.  I said, “sit down and let me cut the toes off.”  Haleigh freaked----“Don’t cut my toes off!!”  So funny…but she realized what I finally meant.  She was so excited to wear these to dance!  And then she had to wear them to bed.  It’s the little things!

  

And this snow…really?!

We were laying in the floor and looked over and decided we had a fun photo opp in her mirrors…

Love that Chris remembers how much I love to have fresh flowers in the house!  These are so nice right now b/c it reminds me of spring which is not too far away!! Our bulbs are starting to peak through the ground and the trees have tons of buds in them!  I cannot wait!  I’m tired of taking pictures in the house…

This is out of sequence but that’s ok…

This was at the pet shop.  Can you see the turtle poking up his head?!  You can see how excited Jamesy was even though you can’t see his face…just look at the veins in his neck b/c that is how excited he was!!

I should be posting this under my recipe section too!  I finally took pictures of steps to a fun recipe.  I don’t know how many bloggers do it…that’s a lot of work to document each step.  And I am a messy cook so I didn’t want to touch my camera with all of this sticky fruit on my fingers!  But I will post the recipe on the recipe section…finally…in case someone is dying to try it after viewing the pictures…lol!
