More Park Fun

We have made some new wonderful friends who live just up the street from us. I am so lucky to have a new friend who is also a stay at home mommy. Maggie has two beautiful children that are almost the same ages as my two. She has a little girl named Audrey who Zac just adores and a little boy named Willem who loves swings as much as Brayden.

Carrie and Noah joined us all at the park today to play and have a picnic. We had a great time and can't wait until our next play date.

Zac met a sweet little boy who he played really well with.

And Back To Disneyland We Go...

We made a Friday evening trip to Disneyland and as usual we had a fantastic time. It sprinkled a little while we were there and it was very chilly, but we made the best of it.

They loved the Carousel.

Happy 1st Birthday Noah

Noah had his first birthday party last weekend. Unfortunately, the poor baby was sick and had a fever. To top it off it was a very hot day, so he was very uncomfortable. It was sad to see him not being is happy chipper self. Besides having a sick birthday boy, the party went really well. A lot of people that love Noah showed up to celebrate with him. All the kids had a ton of fun in the Winnie the Pooh bouncer and the stayed cool by squirting each other with a squirt bottle.

Out For A Ride

Ben and Zachary went around the block for their first official bike ride. Just last week Zachary figured out how to really get moving on his tricycle. He's getting to be such a big boy!

A Wonderful Mother's Day!

I had and am still having a wonderful Mother's Day. I was woken this morning with the delicious smell of waffles and big beautiful smiles from my boys. In the afternoon we met up with my mom, Gary, Carrie, Dan, Kori, Noah, Sharla and Bobby at a near by park to have a picnic and play. On our drive to the park I received the best mother's day present, Zachary said, "Mommy guess what?" I said, "what sweetie?"And he said, "I love you". Then, of course I cried. It's so wonderful to be a mommy!

As a mother's day present Ben gave me tickets to go to the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Our tickets are for July 19th, I'm so excited. All four of us are going to go, the kids are going to love it. I know it may seem like an odd mother's day gift, but that's why Ben is the perfect man for me. This is a perfect gift for me, I love the circus and the fact that I get to enjoy it with my family makes it even more perfect.

Noah was falling asleep at the wheel. Too cute!

Brayden loves skate boards.

He's doing better then his Daddy did.

Say Cheese!

We went to Sears Portrait Studio today to have pictures of the boys done and to also have our first professional family picture taken. The session started out pretty good but went down hill after the first three pictures were taken. Both Zac and Brayden did not want to be told what to do. At least we got a few good pictures out of them.

Brayden looks so grown up.

This is were it started to go down hill.
I love this picture. We tried to get Zac in the picture but he just wouldn't have it.
It took forever to get this shot.

Night on the Town

My amazing husband stayed home with the kids Friday night so I could go to a magic show in San Pedro with Sharla and some of our friends. We had a lot of fun even though the show ran a little long. After, we went to a local bar and had a few drinks. It was so nice to get out of the house and be around grown ups. Next time we'll have to get a baby sitter so Ben can join in on the fun too.

Here's our group standing outside of the Grand Illusions show.
