Once Upon a Golden Springtime

Earth laughs in flowers.

Cowboy Day

Always one of my favorite days of preschool...

Pineapple Awards

Tatum got to participate in her school's pineapple awards, for meeting her academic goals. Tatum loves school so, so, so much. She loves her teachers, her music class, and all her little classmates... (we get a daily play-by-play of who did what). She even threw a little fit when we kept her home from school to go to Disneyland. Hopefully this passion will continue throughout the years.

Farm Field Trip

Our preschool visited De Jong's Dairy and had so much fun with all the animals. We got to see a baby calf that was born that morning... very cute. So many of the preschoolers were walking around with their noses plugged... on the other hand, Davis and Lyric were intently trying to kiss every animal. I guess they do have a little dairy farmer in their blood, afterall.

Go Phillies

Davis has embarked upon his first year of t-ball. He loves it so much... it has been quite the adventure and we are enjoying watching him progress in the sport and have fun with his little buddies.

Balboa Beach

Relaxing on the beach with good friends... one of the best ways to spend a Saturday.

a driftwood fortress

not a care in the world

wave chasing
accidentally getting soaked (inevitable)

writing secret sand messages

watching the sun set over crashing waves

finding treasures

climbing "spidermans" web

not a great picture... but certainly great friends

Colors of Spring

I couldn't resist these pretty purple flowers by our house. We are loving the lush greenery and beautiful spring flowers everywhere.
