Happy Birthday

Alivia turned three!! We had her birthday at Chuck-E-Cheese, this was her choice. We tried to persuade her to change her mind and have her pirate party at home but it was a no go. The family came from Utah and G-Ma Pat made that awesome skull cake. We had a great time.

First Day of School

Aren't these two the cutest kids you ever saw. I can't believe that Sophia is big enough to go to Kindergarten. So after a week of me having separation anxiety and not knowing every second what Sophia was doing, I pulled her from the charter school she started at and now she comes to Martinez with me every day. She is so happy and so am I. She hangs out in the morning with me and then comes to my room after school, it's awesome. Alivia is a little jealous but she is still going to grandma's and the community college preschool were she is well taken care of and loved.

Beach

This was our beach trip. After Disney we traveled to Huntington Beach. We stayed in an awesome hotel right on the beach. The girls had a blast. Livi stayed out of the water because she said it was to cold. Sophia was doing awesome riding the waves in. I told Cody (again) that I would work two jobs if we could live right on the beach. He still didn't give in!

Our last vacation of the summer was a trip to Southern California. We went to Disneyland and the beach. We were so lucky because Grandma Pat was able to come with us!!! She's never been to Disney and what a great first trip, spending it with you grand kids. This trip Disney wasn't as busy as when we visited at Christmas. We rode Pirates first thing, Livi loved this because of her crazy obsession with them. I've never seen a three year old girl who loves pirates as much as her. Sophia was able to ride almost everything this time so her dad had a great time because he finally had a partner to ride the roller coasters with! Livi was a little sad because she wasn't tall enough but next time she reminded us that she would be bigger.

Cowgirls

Are these not the cutest cowgirls you have ever seen? Uncle Nyle is the best, he saddled Ginger and let Sophia, Alivia, and Chloe all have a ride. This was the highlight of Sophia's trip to Utah and it's made her even more determined that she is going to have a horse.

Utah/Camping

Utah is the most beautiful place I've ever been. I love to come home! We were lucky and went camping with the Anderson family in Fairview. We(Cody and I) can't get enough of being in that beautiful state and my girls can't get enough of riding the four- wheeler, getting dirty, and playing with their cousins. The worst part is when we have to come home and leave all those people and that place(Utah) behind!

Concert

So for my Pioneer Days fun I got to go to Kenny C. in Salt Lake. I was a tad disappointed because Sugarland canceled, but I had so much fun I soon got over it!
