Starting Fresh

I haven't been the best blogger for the past few months so instead of back tracking I have decided to start fresh for the year. Anyway!!!

We took a quick trip to the coast, well quick as quick can get with 4 kids. The kids loved playing on the beach and they all got in and played in the water... CRAZY!!! I love watching them run in and out of the water with their big smiles. After 2 days of playing on the beach we headed home.

I love our cute little kids and love to see the excitement in their eyes when they enjoy such simple pleasures.

Family Picture- 2010

ok so it has been awhile since I have blogged, it is to far back to catch up but I will just start from here. Our family of 6 was able to take some great pics in the almond orchards we have here in fresno. Here is 1 pic of our family that turned out good.

My Little Wild and Wet Animals!!

I love, love the towels that have animal hoods. It all started when my sister got a lion towel for Clayton for Christmas when he was our one and only. Then I have always tried to find cute towels for every child I have had. So Ella is a cute Flamingo, "mingo" as Cade would say. Then Cade is my little frog, and finally I just found Ryder his little puppy dog towel. I love these babies sooo much and they are so cute in their towels.

CADE TURNS 3

Cade our third child, our bright red head, our sweetheart, our goofball turned 3. I can't believe how fast it has gone by. He is such an amazing addition to our family. He is always on the go, he keeps me busy, he keeps me on my toes. He laughs so much and he makes us laugh.

We were able to go to Pump it Up for some jumping fun. He had a lot of fun.

Then we went to the Island Water Park were he loves to swim and go on the slides. We had a full fun day. He fell asleep on the way home at 5:30 so he had great day.

4TH OF JULY

We had a fun 4th of July. Our church always has a pancake breakfast and the kids are able to decorate their bikes and have a parade.

My poor kids, trying to take a group picture with the sun soooo bright. So this is the best I got but I love it because it is so appropriate for the time.

10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TRIP

Robert and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary. We were blessed to have a long weekend thanks to my parents who watched our kids for4 days and 3 nights. I think they were exhausted by the end of the weekend but we were so thankful they did that for us.

We headed to the central coast for a cool fun weekend. We started out by getting some great In N Out food. What is vacationing without pigging out a little?????
(by the way this vaca is all self portrait or timer pics)

When we got there we checked into our hotel then headed to the San luis Obispo farmers market. It was a lot of fun and there was great food and awesome music.

During our vacation we were able to go running together. We ran in the hills behind Cal Poly, it was a great run and fun to run with my hubby.

We were able to go to pismo and enjoy the beach and some awesome clam chowder. Walking around pismo is always fun and the weather was great.

We went for a walk on some trails and found my future beach house!!!

One day we went to Morro Rock and there are no restrooms there so I had to go behind a rock. Robert thought it would be funny to take a picture.

On our last day we went to Hearst Castle, the first time we went we had 3 kids with us, we were so worried they would touch stuff they weren't suppose to we didn't get to see a lot of the details. This time was unreal, that place is so crazy and amazing.

This was our last picture of our vacation. We had a lot of fun and can't wait for our next vacation together.

FIRST HAIR CUT

So Ryder finally got his first hair cut, well actually it was about a month ago but I am behind in my blogging. He did a great job and he looks so much older.
