Birthday!

June 14Th is my birthday, So this year we went to Disneyland. I wanted to receive my fun card worth $69.00. We all had a great time, the weather was perfect and I was spending my day with my family. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday! My mom has a pass so she was able to join us. We spent half of the day there and then my mom watched the kids and my mother in law took us to shogun's for dinner, it was delicious!James also bought me a new double jogging stroller. It is not any stroller, It is the best jogging stroller. Since I use my stroller with stroller strides Mon-Thurs. I love exercising with my kids.

Graduation!

So my baby girl graduated from preschool. Wow I can't believe that she is going to be 5 and in kindergarten. I am so going to miss her everyday while she is at school.
At the graduation they announced what each child wanted to be when they grew up. I thought for sure Emily would say Hannah Montana, or something on that line. Boy was I wrong she wants to "collect sticks all over the world" yes sticks. So I say she wants to be a world traveler! She also received an award for The Kindness Heart. She sure does have the kindness heart! We made her graduation a big deal I really want her to be excited for kindergarten. James had to testify in court in that morning but talked to the judge and they rescheduled until 1:30, he wouldn't miss Emily's graduation for anything. What a great Dad! My Mom, Dad, Mother in law, Aunt Joanie, Uncle Rick and of course James, Brandon and I all went to see Emily graduate. Uncle Rick video the whole thing. He was practically laying on the ground in front of her feet so he wouldn't miss anything.
After her graduation we all went to eat lunch at Emily's favorite restaurant Olive Garden. She opened her present and had the best lunch. She loved being the Star.

Disneyland!

It was Sunday morning and we were home relaxing trying to figure out something to do with the kids. We had nothing to do and James wasn't on call! We thought about the park, chucke cheese, etc. But nothing sounded exciting. Until Disneyland popped into our head, we have passes and are not blocked. So we asked Emily which place she wanted to go to and she said lets go to Disneyland! So we packed up the kids and went! It turned out to be a beautiful day. I thought it was going to be packed but it wasn't too bad. We got in line for Emily and Brandon's favorite ride small world. But when we got to the front of the line the ride broke. So once again we asked Emily what she wanted to do. Since about half of the people in line left. She said lets wait a few more minutes and in about 2Min's later the ride was working. Emily made great choices today. Brandon loved Buzz lightyear I think next time we will have to buy him the toy gun! He loved it ! The kids had lots of fun! We sure love Disneyland!

Silver Lake

We went camping again this last weekend. I was so excited we got to got to our favorite place Sliver Lake ,which is about 25miles from Mammoth. James has been camping there since he was 1yr. This was the 1st time I had been there with our RV. It was so much fun! The kids had a blast playing in the dirt, throwing rocks in the lake and Emily fishing. She is so cute with her dad, they love to fish together. James has no problem taking her fishing anytime she wants. Emily is such a great fishergirl. She caught 7 fish. We took her first stringer to the little general store and they took her picture and gave her a certificate. She loved all the attention! Brandon loved playing in the dirt. He is all boy for sure! They also got to go on wagon rides, which they love. Everything is better in the mountains, the food was great, the air was so clean and crisp.
My mother in-law, and niece Raylene also went with us. We all had the best time and did not want to come home! The weather was nice it was sunny in the morning and then overcast in the afternoon. The RV was great we would put Brandon for a nap and relax and watch a movie. We are for sure going again. More wonderful memories we made with our family. What a great family and life I have. We love the sierra's!!( so happy we bought the RV it is so worth the payment)

Grand Canyon

We took another wonderful RV trip. We are loving our RV!! We went to see the beautiful Grand Canyon with our great friends Julie, Gabriel, Gracie(Emily's best friend) and Dylan. When we arrived at the campground it started snowing, the girls had so much fun trying to catch snowflakes with their tongues. When we woke up the weather was perfect for us. We walked from the campground to see the Canyon. It was a great hike and the Canyon was amazing, more then I could ever explain. The kids did so great on the whole trip. We had so much fun hanging with our friends. On the way home we were able to stop at Julie and Gabriel's Havasu house. The kids loved being in their pool even though the water was freezing. We also went on their boat for about 5min's and it started to overheat, so they had to bring it in. What a bummer, but all the more reason for us to go back! It was also so rexlaing to sit in the spa while all the kids were sleeping. Another amazing trip in the RV. and we still have so many more trips planned!

Missouri Trip

James, Emily, Brandon and I went with my best friend Casey and Rambo to visit her Mom, Bill, Sister Jessica, her two nephews Seth and Noah in Missouri. This was the longest trip we have taken in our RV. It was great we had tons of fun! They kids did so well on such a long trip. We were gone for about 10days. James drove all day and we stop at a rest stop on the first night so we could sleep. We also stopped in Texas at the station of the cross. Then we headed to Kansas City and stayed at a campground. Then in the morning we went to a Cowboy museum with Casey's mom, Bill and nephews. It was so neat seeing all the memorabilia, James loves cowboy movies and history. We enjoyed this outing so much. We Then made our way to Missouri, and had a great time. We took to the Kansas City Zoo, went to a birthday party, ate some great BBQ, and went to an old town that was a replica of 1850's. It was so fun, the kids feed sheep, horses and chickens. On the way home we stopped in Zion and did 2 hikes and saw some waterfalls. We would love to go back and spend more time. It was the best family vacation!

7 yr. Anniversary!

On February 23rd it was our 7yr Anniversary. Time sure does fly, 7yrs later we have a beautiful home and 2 wonderful kids. Life is great, I couldn't ask for anything more. To Celebrate we went to the Temecula Wineries and stayed the night. Thank goodness for my mom she watched Emily and Brandon and they had a great time. This was the first time I have left Brandon over night. I was sad to leave them. But it was nice to be able to finish a conversation with James and have grow up time.
We had a lincoln town car and a driver to drive us to the wineries. That was the best idea ever. At the 1st wine tasting we each paid for 5 tastes. The lady helping us was the best she gave us about 15 tastes each. I could barely walk straight, we went to eat and then went to 2 more wine tastings. When we went were done tasting we were a little buzzed. Ok a lot. It was so much fun!! We laughed a lot which was great. I loved spending time with James he is a wonderful Husband and I am so glad that we have been married for 7yrs.
