Happy Birthday, Brian!

For Brian's birthday this year he wanted to go to Big Surf Water Park! The weather was perfect and everyone had a great time! The kids LOVE water slides. Both Keira and Tyler rode the big slides with huge smiles on their faces making their daddy happy!

 

 

Happy Birthday, Baby!



Florida!

The kids and I flew out of Florida to see my parents for a week. They moved out there this Spring from San Diego. We had awesome weather and enjoyed the beach almost every day! The water is warm and there are A LOT of seashells to collect (which my mom and the kids did almost every day!)

The kids climbed up 105 steps of the Jupiter Inlet lighthouse! They did such a great job! Many of the adults had to stop and at the bottom said they were amazed the kids did it!

We went to the Lion Country Safari African Adventure which was a up close look at lions, giraffes, rhinos, antelope, zebras, and monkeys. The tour began with a 4 mile drive thru different animal exhibits! We were able to see all the animals and figured out why the rhinos had the right of way (they walk wherever and even try to put their head on the vehicles!) . After the drive we walked through the zoo section and even feed the giraffes!



Keira Lost Tooth #2

Keira lost her second tooth while in FL! The tooth fairy found her which Keira was really happy about! Keira wasn't in pain in this picture even though it looks like it. She was more afraid of the tooth bleeding and wanted me to take the picture fast! It came out while we were brushing teeth!! 

Tyler's 8!

Tyler celebrated his birthday this year with a couple of friends from school at FlipSide (an indoor laser tag, bummer cars, bowling, and games place).

 The kids had a lot of fun. Brian and I went on a couple of rides too!

 We are normally in San Diego for the kids' birthdays but this year we celebrated Ty's birthday in FL with  my parents! The moved to Singer Island earlier this month and the kids and I went out for a week long visit (more pictures to come)!

Happy 8th Birthday, Tyler!

Bikes and Pools!

 

Keira got a new bike! She is so excited to have a Big Girl bike now! 

 Brian's mom, Heather, came in last weekend to watch the kids while Brian and I attended the AZ National Guard Conference. Forts were a huge hit!

 The resort Brian and I stayed at for the conference had a great pool and slide. The kids had a blast!

Spring is in the air!

It is getting warmer here which is nice but we know 'hot' is just around the corner! 

 

Keira is loving her summer clothes even though she outgrew most of them!! She is getting so big!

 Keira loves to lay down with the dogs. She makes sure they have chew toys so they don't chew the blankets. They are so good with her!

 

 Keira and Katie

 

 Keira lost her first tooth! It was a LONG time coming and took her falling and hitting her mouth in the playroom to come out.

 

 Brian and his unit had a team building day which included paintball. He let the kids shoot the gun before he put it away. They had a lot of fun!

 

 My dad came in for a short visit before heading back out to FL. The kids loved time with Papa!

 

The kids have been asking to go into the pool even though the water is still pretty chilly. I finally gave in and let them get suited up. Ty cannonballed in and took the cold water pretty well. Keira wasn't so excited about the cold water but did go in!
