Major Catching Up!!

It has been quite a while since my last posting, but this time it was not my fault!  Our home computer needed to be sent in for some repair work, and the day we sent that in, Steve's lap top that he brings to work started having issues!  So we were completely computer-less for quite some time!  That is when the iPad and iPhone were extra wonderful to have!!  So here is what we have been up to for the past three weeks!!

The kids have continued to ride their balance bikes...all the time!  Racing around the driveway keeps them quite busy!  And they also love to ride them at the beach to get to the beach park!

On Thursday nights we have continued to go to the BBQ at the Pierpont Inn, which is a hotel on the beach.  It is a blast to watch the kids run around and dance and just have a great time!  Having a fun, family friendly activity to attend is such a treat!

At church we had a picnic the night before Memorial Day!  All the little girls received these cool sunglasses and beads!  They had the best time, and just are too too cute!

Also around Memorial Day, we had some sunny, warm weather!  We found this old pool that we had for the kids, and even though it was small, they thoroughly enjoyed it!  Shane was his crazy self - running and jumping into the little pool!

Now that Faith is six, we decided to move her into a booster seat in the car.  She was beyond excited to receive these, and she feels like such a big girl as she is able to completely buckle herself into this new car seat!  Of course Shane wants a booster now too!  We told him he doesn't weigh enough as he needs to be at least 40 pounds.  This has resulted in him becoming a much better dinner eater as he is trying to reach that 40 pound mark!

As the preschool year ended for Shane, his whole preschool went on a field trip to a fish hatchery.  The best part was that we took a train ride to get there!  Riding the train was definitely the highlight, but it was fun to feed the fish at the hatchery too.

Here is Shane on his final day of preschool in the Bumblebee classroom.  He will still go to the same preschool next year, but of course be in an older class.  Shane had a great year of school as he had many nice kids in his class and very sweet teachers.

Last week Monday Steve was off from work, and so we took advantage of that by going up to Santa Barbara to the zoo and Padaro Grill.  Since it had been a few months since we had been at the zoo, it was extra exciting!  And Padaro is always a highlight!! 


One of the bigger changes has been that Faith is now playing t-ball!  The local YMCA has a t-ball league, and it is perfect for kids who are just beginning this sport.  So far Faith absolutely loves it!  She has been to three practices, and will play in her first game this coming Saturday!  Her team name is the Orioles, and she is very proud to wear her special uniform shirt and hat.  It already has been a great experience for her, and we are excited about seeing her team play their first game!
