Girl's Getaway!


This year I was able to get away with "my girls" and visit Monterey!

The weather was perfect so we spent most of our time outdoors! We took a drive along the coast, enjoyed some yummy food, watched the sunset, and even rode a 4 person bike. We had Sooo much fun and made some great memories.

I am so lucky to have these 3 amazing ladies in my life!

Spring Break!

Since Chico had their spring break the middle of March we were able to be enjoy St. Patty's day in style. Besides the leprechauns messing up the house and leaving gold coins, green milk, and Lucky Charms cereal, and of course having a green dinner (green beans, green jello, green grapes, green kool-aid, etc.) the kids thought it would be fun to paint up "leprechaun style"


It's amazing what you can do with a little face paint.


Aren't my leprechauns cute?


Since the day was beautiful we biked down to the channel for some water exploring. Now this is my kind of spring break. No school, sunny weather & happy kiddos.


(A big thanks to our talented face painter--Miss Andrea Brooke)

New Baby Cousin

The long wait is finally over. Our new baby cousin has arrived! It's a girl! Two weeks prior Kiana started counting down the days. It was if it was Christmas in March! We were so lucky to be able to visit the new family in the hospital and to be able to hold a NEWborn baby. The miracle of life is so amazing. Welcome to earth little one!

Haircuts & Missing Teeth!

Kiana has been asking for quite a while to have her hair cut. I've been putting it off because I knew she wanted it cut shorter than I wanted. Well, I finally gave in. She has VERY think hair and so I think she was ready to just have an easy style. It actually turned out very cute. The same day she lost a tooth at school; it had been wiggly for a while--hence the picture of the open mouth shot.

Daffodils

I love March because of the . . . . .

DAFFODILS!



"Daffodils"

I Wander'D lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretch'd in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

By William Wordsworth
