Grandma and Riley on Mother's Day

It's been awhile since I have posted anything. This is kind of a combo of Mother's day, special date nights and the last day of preschool for our big girl. We are adjusting to life as a family of five. Summer is officially here and we are looking forward to swim lessons, the beach (in a couple of weeks), soccer teams...and preschool (for Megan) and Kindergarten (for Riley) starting in the fall! The girls continue to entertain us and Ethan is just a dream baby. We are trying to get him to take a bottle, but that is not working out so well. I promise I'll get some pictures of him up here in the next couple of days...poor guy. The weather has been amazing and we are so blessed with wonderful friends and neighbors who have helped us make the transition from 2 to 3. We love you all and are so very thankful!

Our dear neighbor Janet on her birthday. They were so kind to invite our family over for some yummy chocolate cake!

Riley is such a little mommy. She LOVES her little brother so much, it warms my heart.

This girl can play hard...but when she sleeps...well....

Grandma Marti and Grandpa Johnny












Grandma Marti and Grandpa Johnny came to visit us and meet Ethan for the first time. We were all so excited that they came out to California from Illinois (it's a long trip!). The girls had so much fun. They were having a little summer camp expo at the Fountains, and the girls got their faces painted and got to try out the rock climbing wall. Megan was too light to climb the wall, so the instructors would push her up and she would stay where they left her...they had to have a rope attached to her to get her down. They both loved it though...maybe next time we'll get to the top! The weather was REALLY hot this weekend, so we spent lots of time outside in the sprinklers and eating popsicles and ice cream. It was a great weekend and we wish that Grandma Marti and Grandpa Johnny lived a little closer to us! Thanks for the great visit!

Happy Easter Ethan!

We had a wonderful Easter weekend...
We were blessed with wonderful weather, so everyone was outside most of the weekend. We went to the flower farm in Loomis and the girls loved running around, seeing the ducks, chickens, horses and getting a hot chocolate. Easter Sunday was great. Grandma and Papa came over with a ham and some other yummy treats. The girls had their egg hunt and blew bubbles...lots of fun. Ethan pretty much sleeps most of the time (VERY different than his 2 sisters)...so I'm sorry most pictures of him are with his eyes closed. He is almost 2 months old now...time goes by SO fast, it's incredible. We are looking forward to the summer...swim suits and more outdoor fun! We had so much fun this Easter with our 3 kids!
