Spring Break San Diego

We are a family of beach bums. We love going to our 2nd home, SD, kids were counting down the days until we got to the beach, and were so sad when we said we were going home... as always.


Rowan braved the cold waters... came out after his Boogie Boarding ride nearly purple and shaking... trying to tell me about the huge waves.


My BFF's of 17 years, Dianne and Jenna, with 6 month old Baby Reed. I miss you all and wish we could see you more. XO


This is our Studly Tourist Rowan ready to go Boogie Boarding


Where's Rowan??!!

We can't go to the beach and not bury Rowan in the sand. A little too messy for Mom, thank goodness Dad is into getting sand in all your cracks!

Yiiippppeeee!!!! Spring is here!

What a beautiful day at the Park! We loaded up the bikes, packed a lunch, and headed to the train park.

Of course, the kids wanted to ride everything.

Rowan loves the jet ski, he has to ride it every time we go there. Palmer is still too scared...

Palmer is obsessed with trains, Thomas and Chuggington. His eyes were so lit with excitement on the train ride around the park. Kept saying, "Choo Choo" and waving to all the people we passed.

My favorite time in AZ, it only lasts another month or 2... so I'm trying to get my kids outside and enjoy our beautiful spring before we all start to sweat and complain!

Big Girl Luna turns 7!

I can't believe we still have Luna, she's a trooper. Rowan wanted to have a Birthday Party for Luna, this was the only photo i could get of her going crazy with the treats the kids got Luna that were covered in frosting and sprinkles. Luna is the best little dog, lets the kids jump all over her. As annoying as she can be, she is another child and lets you know when she needs to be included. I have tried to get her into another home, but Rowan reminds me that Luna loves Rowan and Daddy, so she can never leave. Happy 7th Birthday Luna!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Any excuse to dress my boys alike! Happy Green Day. We had a St. Patty's Party at the park and Rowan thought it was so cool he could pinch people not wearing green...

My 2 Sweet Boys

The other day was just a great one. Rowan and Palmer were getting along so great, no hitting, no pushing, Rowan didn't make Palmer cry... what a day. Palmer is into copying everything, it was Rowan's day to be copied and usually Rowan gets mad, but he was loving the attention from his little brother. I had to capture these sweet moments of my favorite little people.

This was how Rowan was watching TV, and Palmer kept trying to hold his head up on his hands, it was so sweet.

My handsome little man, getting to be such a little adult. Rowan rarely poses for a photo, so I have to take advantage when he's in the mood.

Can you tell they are brothers? And look like there Dad??!!

The sweetest Boy in the World!

My Palmer makes me happy when I wake up, as long as he is happy! He is getting so big, talking tons and he repeats everything I say. He loves life and his Mommy. Loves to pose for pictures, can you tell...

He is obsessed with Shamu, so is Rowan, I have 2 Shamu Trainers or Marine Biologists on my hands!

This made me nearly pee my pants I was laughing so hard at him... I was in the office, and he was quiet playing. I didn't realize he was in my jewelry chest accessorizing himself. He came into the office saying "Look Mom" I was dying. He kept it all on a long time, and ofcourse wouldn't put it all away! He is forsure my playful one!

Rowan 1st Soccer game of 2011

Our little Athlete Rowan is back on the field. Loving soccer, his 1st game of the season with all his little friends. Now Palmer wants to play, and keeping him off the field is tough!
