Happy Arbor Day!

Happy Arbor Day!

What is Arbor Day you ask?

Well here you go:

www.arborday.org

Check it out and plant a tree!

We celebrated Arbor Day with some new friends on RSM Lake! The city had a cute little event going on. They chose a California Live Oak to honor with a plaque and all. All the city officials were there. And they shared some info on the types of trees the city was growing.
They gave Caden a little tree sapling. (And donuts and oj...not sure what was more exciting for him)

I think I'll plant it here!

There was a photographer for Rancho Living there and she tooks some snapshots of Caden and his sapling. We may just see his cute mug in the next issue...stay tuned.

We are so excited the Beach Lagoon pool will be re-opening tomorrow...but very sad for this little family of goslings that has been living in there. Hope momma and dadda geese find you cute little guys a new home. We enjoy visiting with them when we walk the lake...so CUTE!

A Day at Disneyland...well mostly California Adventure!

C is for Caden! It really was all about C-Adventure today! Disneyland was packed so we thought we'd give California Adventure and try and it was much better! Caden enjoyed his first (of many) rides on Soaring over California...gosh I just love that ride. Caden had a great time too!

I love you Caden!
Caden was brave enough to start and meet the character's and so we bought him an autograph book and started meeting some of them. Caden really enjoyed meeting Aladdin...where's Jasmine? We will have to find her next time!

Emma enjoyed her first ride on Dumbo! She really enjoyed herself. She is just a happy girl and always up for anything. Especially with her daddy at her side.

Here we were...just trying to enjoy some ice cream and coffee...quietly on the pier . And then the loud Army toy men put on a loud show! But it was fun...they interacted with Caden and he enjoyed it. Daddy had to move Emma back a distance because it was VERY LOUD!

Caden got a kick out of Mr. Incredible. He has not watched this movie yet but it's on our list! This guy was a crack up! Even though Caden's face doesn't look that way...he wasn't sure what would happen with his back turned...look at those muscles!

So we had a great day! Stayed until 7pm...longest time yet with Em's. It was busy but hey that's usually how it goes!

Easter 2010!

Okay so this is a bit late! I have been busy!!!

We had an awesome Easter. It was very simple and laid back. We just went to my mom's for a nice egg hunt for Caden...Emma helped too! Then it was Subway sandwiches for lunch! Then we just enjoyed being a family. Of course we missed seeing our extended family but it was nice to just keep it simple for once. Sometimes we find it so hard to enjoy the day when we spend half of it on the road. Here are some of our moments.
Emma's 1st Easter! Dressed in her special Easter Butterfly dress made with love by Nana.


Nana enjoying her grand babies. Okay...Caden is NOT a baby...but can't we call him that for a bit longer....?





Sweet baby Emma! Just about 8 months old here.

I can help you brothy! Thanks sisty!

It started out nice and sunny then it got cold and windy.

Here we are! Gosh this was just the best we could do. I so wanted a nice family pic but it just seems impossible these days! Oh well we will keep at it!!!

I am just so in love with my sweet children. I feel so blessed to be their momma!

Momma and Emma. Emma is playing, "Bang, bang, bang!" with her eggs!

You can see how much she loves her momma here! Of course daddy comes in right along side momma. When we are standing side by side she will reach out to whoever is NOT holding her and go back and forth, back and forth. She is just a sweet lover girl!

Does it get any better than this?
