Happy Mother's Day

To celebrate Mother's Day with Brian's family, our tradition is to go eat pizza at Bruno's. Not only is it the BEST pizza around, its a great place for the kids.

Cassidy, Abbey & Shane entertaining themselves with computers while the adults hung out.

As you can tell, they kind of took over the place by the end of the night!

Then we had coffee & cookies at the coffee shop next door with Papa Steve & Grandma Kim.

A trip to Sea World

Uncle Kris & Aunt Amy called us last week and asked us to join them at Sea World. Of course we had to go! We started the day watching the Shamu show.

As you can tell, I really liked this show.

Then we went to the kids zone. I went in this place with all these big tubes for the first time now that I am such a BIG girl.

I even came really close to touching a stingray for the first time but then decided that I needed to be just a little bit older to do that! See me in between Uncle Kris & Daddy? I look tiny compared to them but I really am a BIG girl!

But I did touch the fish for the Sea Lions- that is a huge accomplishment!

Daddy and I being super silly.

And I even went in the water area & got wet! It was super fun!

My last big accomplishment of the day was taking a picture with Elmo & Zoe! This is BIG since the first time I ran away screaming for my life! This time, Mom had to bribe me to get away from them.

We all had a great but long day. I ended the day with chocolate. What could be better than that?

Spring is Among us!

I know it has been Spring for a while but we have had our bouts of up and down weather this last month or so. So we have taken advantage of the nice days as we get them!Here is Cassidy's first day at the beach for the season. Too cold to hit the water but she loved playing in the sand.

The cousins at their first Padres game of the season- many more to come!

Cassidy's idea of a spring outfit. She picked this one out all by herself and I actually let her wear it in public!

Our first pool trip in Palm Springs.

I LOVE warm weather!
