nine

Went out to Kung Fu Panda 2 (HILARIOUS).
Came back to the house and had Betty Crocker special.

treasure hunt

Jared and I set up a treasure hunt for Ender's birthday. Canning jars with clues and gold dollar coins. We had 16 clues and hid them all over out back, inside and out front. Ender loved it.

diva or princess?

Tulip Fields

We love our flower fields here in Oregon.
We met our cousins to buy some tulips.

Golden Gate Bridge

One of my life goals for the kids was to go over the Golden Gate Bridge.
We did it!!!!

Shell Beach

On the drive home from L.A we drove up the coast.
We went to this beach and collected shells .

seahorse

these sea horses are so beautiful.

This cho cho train has that worm with the German
accent from a bug's life talking to you. We just loved it.

The classic falling off the carousel shot.

Enders favorite ride is the upside down rollercoaster.

Lego Darth Vader. How cool is that.

I'm going to disneyland

Most of these are from maya and I hanging out while the boys went and did something wild. It seems like the only time I can stop and get any pictures. I think it is because they are not distracting me with ideas of grandeur. Anyway Maya and I have a good time because we are on the same page. We are satisfied with a little riding, some princess spottings, shopping, a little sugar and people watching.

Maya and I had a great time canoeing. Who new you could be so adventurous at Disneyland.

The little fairy land is so cute. We loved it.

Maya rode some of the rides on her own this time because she is old enough and she thought that would be super fun.

One of Maya's favorite Disney activities is to eat cotton candy and people watch. She is a girl!

We love a horse.

We ran into some really good friends and had such a great time hanging out with them. Maya and her buddy got face painting done. Aren't they just the cutest.

Play'n on the bridge in the Tree house.

proud parents

The team had an undefeated season. Jared and I couldn't be more proud of our basketball star. You know this means a lot to Jared being that basketball is his thing. We had the greatest time yelling and cheering the team on this season. Ender had a lot of family come to watch his games and of course I have no pics because I was to busy being a crazed basketball parent to think about taking pictures.

Day at the Beach

Our friends (the Cottrells) invited us out to a beach house they had rented. We had so much fun. The view from the house was amazing. Our day at the beach was actually sunny and beautiful. Thanks for being so friendly Mary and fam.

convertible

Maya got a pink mustang for her birthday and her spring break
dream was to take it for a spin at Bald Hill.

This pic is sideways but this is the trap for the little green man. Do you see the stairs?

pot o' gold

The kids have been setting a trap to catch a leprechaun.
Pots of gold and chocolate coins what a great holiday.
