LOTS OF GOING'S ON'S - Dr Seuse

We have really been doing well with our goal of doing Monday night Family nights together every week. Reid and I have taken turns switching off each Monday. This was one of our fun snacks after a very nice lesson.

We had a be-lated birthday party for our sweet Anna Marie Johnson who turned 1 years old on the day we left town with Reid's co-workers. We had a 9am Saturday morning breakfast party. It was Strawberry Shortcake themed and all the decorations and food turned out pretty cute. We had cinnamon roll cupcakes instead of cake since it was breakfast time. It was a fun time with family!

This was the same day as Anna's party, we had a mid day dust storm... you were able to look right at the sun without any eye protection because the dust was so thick. There was one point when the sun disappeared completely because of the thick dust.

Fathers Day was the next day, Reid got some new Kennith Cole dress slacks, a Kennith Cole reversable (brown/black) belt, some more titiey whities ;)  a pencil holder made by Colton at preschool, some airhead candies and lots of love. Happy Fathers Day, Reid!

1st Day of Preschool Pictures -Colton

Colton's 1st day of (Summer School) Preschool! YAY! I'm so excited to be going into this stage of life where they start becoming their own little person and venture out away from me for a bit. :) He seemed to really enjoy school. Both of my kids seem to be very quiet and shy so when I picked him up they were all dancing and he was being quiet and reserved...the second he saw me he was like...."MOM, LETS DANCE!". The last picture is of him playing with the teacher and a 3 (4 in August) boy named Charlie.

Weekend 6/2/2012

This past weekend we did some family time, some Reid and Meagan (kidless) date time, and some house fixing time. It was a good weekend and I remembered to take some pictures of the family time! Yay!

Memorial Day weekend

Our view from our hotel room (there was also a pool and hot tub to the right)

My boys love their shakes!

We ate lunch on the pier in Oceanside.

We had a good time one the 5 person bike thing... :)

Anna covered in chocolate & crackers!

Memorial Day weekend we decided to randomly drive to Oceanside, California and introduce our children to the beach & ocean. They were terrified (no surprise there) of the crashing of the waves but really enjoyed making sand castles with Daddy. On our way home we decided to drive up north to see the Hollywood sign and enjoy a nice quick lunch together before heading back to the heat. It turned out to be a wonderful weekend together full of love and laughter. It took a lot of stress of Reid to be away and he was able to regain some of his hearing back. :)

Taylor's Train Birthday Party

Taylor Morris had a very fun train party at the park a couple weeks ago. (Weekend after Mothers day weekend). We had a great time hanging out and enjoying a wonderful breakfast and great company. Thanks to Edith & Peggie we were able to enjoy our self's on some fun rides. ;) Happy Birthday Taylor!
