Good Friends!

My friends had me over on my Birthday and ordered yummy Cafe Rio. We ate lunch and some cookies and muffins. It was so sweet. We visited and the kids played. We had a good time. Katy Ellsworth, Katie Brown, me, and Lindsey Erekelens.

Friends!

Our friends, Lance and Kylee from Wyoming came to go to Disneyland and for a quick visit. They lived downstairs from us in college when we were first married. Callie and Brynlee are 1 year apart. They had fun and played well together.
We took them to visit the Redlands temple on Sunday. Paige loved the freedom of walking around.

All the kiddos outside the temple. Paige, Preston, Boston, Brynlee and Callie.

Birthday Surprises!

Taylor told me on Saturday at 5 o' clock that he had gotten a babysitter. We were going to dinner at Ramono's for my Birthday since he would be gone on my Birthday. We got their and I was surprised again. A few close friends came to dinner to surprise me as well. We had so much fun. I haven't laughed like that in a long time. Thanks everyone.
Taylor surprised me again Sunday evening when we got home and the doorbell rang. Our friends were standing outside with a Heath bar ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. That night he surprised me again with gifts that he said he wasn't going to buy because I had bought some shoes. What a wonderful Birthday! The Best Ever! Thanks Taylor turning 29 is kind of hard to take.
Eating yummy pizza and salad. They had delicious cheese bread.
Cheesy!!
Everyone enjoying their food.

Callie and Preston

Friday night was the Father and Son Camp out. Preston was so excited.

I sent Foil dinners for Taylor and Preston. They desinegrated in the fire. I guess I never learned anything at girls camp. Whoops!
Our Friends gave us this dress from their girls. It finally fits Callie and she looked beautiful in it.
Another hand me down from our neighbors. He looked so handsome. He loves to wear his new suit to church every Sunday.

My friend, Katy, had her birthday on May 3rd. Lindsey and I took her to breakfast at the Kopper Kettle Kafe here in Yucaipa. It is local and really yummy. They serve Pumpkin Pancakes with toffee butter sauce, garnished with whipped cream and nuts. The best thing you ever ate. We had fun and left our children at home. Yeah!

Fun in the sun

Yesterday my friend watched Paige and Preston while I went to Callie's Mothers for Muffins. We stayed for lunch and the kids played in the water.

She is so cute.

Muffins for Mom

All moms were invited to enjoy muffins and juice while the kindergarten class sang us cute Mothers Day songs. They were adorable.
I didn't realize Callie and I matched until the photos were downloaded.
Callie and her best bud, Leah. She is so sweet. I am so glad Callie has found such good friends.

More Easter.

The Easter Bunny visited our house and brought candy and hoola hoops for Callie and Preston. They have been wanting one. They even light up as you twirl.

Easter Sunday pictures!

Paige had a grumpy face. Lately she's been giving the stink eye look.
I loved her little outfit. I found Callie's first and then was at Target and whala, it came together.


So handsome.

Easter Egg Hunt!

We had an egg hunt at our community park. They had age groups together and they had 5000 eggs. And this is how many eggs Callie and Preston ended up with. They were very disappointed. We also had to park a mile away. It was kind of a let down.

Before the egg hunt begain.
We had a birds nest in one of our bushes outside. Callie saw some eggs and then we watched and they hatched on Friday. We kept taking a peek. They were so cute. By Sunday they were gone.

My girls!

Callie is getting so tall. I guess she takes after me. I love this little dress.
Paige has the cutest personality. She has really cute expressions.
This is the first time I did her hair in a pony tail. I did pigtails too. I didn't get out the camera for that. She has also started walking. Not well, but trying.

Cheesecake Factory!

Yum! We were able to go on a date when my mom was here. It was nice not to pay a babysitter. Thanks Mom for watching the kids. We ate a few appetizers and a reese's cheesecake. I hadn't been to the cheesecake factory since we lived in Texas. So 3 years later I say it's about time.It was freezing too. The restaurant was so crowded. It was an hour wait. So we ate on the patio. Luckily they had heaters.
Callie and I running through the snow. We went up to the fence and back. It was really fun acting like a kid. I think Callie liked me spending time with her.
Throwing snowballs.

I look really prissy! Sorry, not athletic at all.
Callie and I tried to build a snowman but we couldn't. The snow was too powdery.
