Jack Turns Four / Batman Bowling

Jack had a great 4th birthday! Thank you to Mom for sponsoring our bowling party and to everyone for making Jack's day special!

Kid's Cake Decorating Contest

Emily's Fish

Paige and her Cat Cookie Cake

Jack's Brownie Surprise (wasn't donated...just eaten).

The kids had fun creating their own cakes for the school cake decorating contest. All entries were donated to the cake walk for the school carnival. Emily got 2nd place for her fish cake and Colby got 1st for his snake cake.

San Clemente Beach

Had a nice walk. The kids enjoyed helping me find sea glass. Paige said it was fun because it was like "I Spy".

Hooray! Spring Soccer is Over!

Emily...on the "Fierce Dolphins".


Paige in her cool rec-specs.

Coach Chris

Paige's acceptance speech...J/K

Yes, another season has come to a close with the exact opposite results of last season. Paige/ Chris' team won nearly all their games and Emily's team (despite all her hard work, effort, and GOALS) lost nearly all of their games...BUT, it's over for now- at least until August.

Toasty Jack

While I was upstairs one day, I heard a chair being pushed around and the clatter of plates and I called down to Jack to see what he was doing. He said, "I'm just eating my toast!" I did not make him toast that morning... He figured out how to make his own toast- He pushed a chair up to the counter and popped the bread in, used the bamboo tongs to remove them and then added a little pad of butter. He is so independent. Wow...now if I could only get Paige to make her own breakfast too!

Dancing at the Hanamatsuri

Try as he might...he couldn't get Mia to dance with him on stage. He kept chasing after her, yelling, "Dance with me! Dance with me!"
