HB

Shopping Day in Newport at this amazing mall called Fashion Island

Robs brother Mike and his family came to visit us during our stay in Laguna

The cousins together on the beach was the best day ever, Boston and Calob played catch and fell into the waves to get the ball a bunch of times as we all cheered and laughed it couldn't have been better.
The girls all together on the beach ;)

Nothing better than a beachy snack of pretzels dipped in Nutella

The kids spent so much time jumping off the boardwalk it was a lot of fun

COUSINS!!

We had a great time catching up with Aunt Cindy and Brijin, the waves were beautiful and the weather was perfect. we all went to dinner together and walked to our cars as the sun set, much to our dismay Mikes car had been towed! The parking is brutal in Laguna and it was a pretty big bummer. But the night still went on... we went to a really cool yogurt place in HB called something like cherry on top, we all loaded up bowls of yogurt and put tons of topping on and had a great time!

The girls in the sand

Tucanos is one of our favorite restaurants

Boston took a picture of us while we were waiting to be seated, yes it was slightly sprinkling rain on us, but that made it all the more fun, rain in June? yepper.... :)
Bostons and Daddy pose like rock stars for me...
It was a really fun dinner out, we only had Boston and Malibu home for the night and they wanted to go out to dinner so we brainstormed for a few minutes and then all came to a unanimous decision to go to Tucanos, the amazing salad bar and the lobster bisque soup was definitely calling my name, so we jumped in the car as fast as we could and drove 20 minutes to eat.

The kids always get a big thrill when the grilled pineapple comes around and they are able to watch it cut and served right to their plates, the turkey and sirloin were particularly tasty on this night too. We ate till our little heart and mouths were content.As the server would continually bring around amazing meats, fish, vegetables, and pineapple, Malibu wanted to keep on getting more and more pineapple served to her, so she would feed hers to me, how could I resist that cute little 3 year old face telling me to "Eat more Mommy."

We found out Tucanos was started in Utah and the owners are Mormon so it is never open on Sunday, even this Valentines day they got letters saying how angry ppl were that is was not open for them on Valentines Sunday, oh well, the lord said to rest on the 7th day so rest ppl :)

Memorial Day 2010

Making skirts

Maddison made a new skirt to wear for Graduation, she couldn't find what she wanted at the store so she bought fabric and made herself a yellow skirt, I think her yellow rose is delightful and sweet, just like her. The great thing is that she and Canada are the same size and they are actually very good at sharing clothes so that nice. We made a pink floral one together first, we didn't have tome to buy a pattern so we just made it up as we wnt along, I will post a picture when I take one. Her friend Halle came over to the house to borrow it last night for a date and I haven't had a chance to take a picture of it. Maddison wore to school last Friday and she said a bunch of her friends want her to make them skirts now. I think I will buy her a boat load of fabric so she can make skirts all summer long at the cabin.

Family Night Fun

It was very surprising to see how entertaining a little tape could be :) We were laughing so hard our stomachs hurt, the kids were cracking up at Dad, and I was startled to find our screen saver this morning was a the pic of my pig nose, thanks Canada :) It was a funny FHE that is for sure. I love my cute kids and their silly personalities. They seriously crack me up at least a 100 times a day.
