Sea World with Marie & Sam

Today we met up with Cousin Marie, Sam and a few friends.  Andrew liked Shamu but Addie was still afraid of him.  We saw the polar bears,  beluga whales,  dolphins,  turtles, sharks, and penguins.

Happy baby

Addie loved the dolphins

They fed the seals but the birds stole most of the fish... :(

All the kiddos... there's no taking pictures of their faces at sea world...they're always looking at something else!

The penguins got fed while we were there

Our 8th Anniversary

Happy 8th Anniversary to my one and only. Every year just keeps getting better with you.  We celebrated with our specialty dinner of scallops and champagne. On the weekend we took Addie and Andrew to Disneyland. Andrew's first time. Andrew's first ride was Buzz light-years AstroBlaster.  Then we went on the Jungle Cruise, Pirate's of the Carribean and the Tiki room. Addie also reeped the rewards of coming with a baby with rider-swap on Autopia. She got to go twice! Nana came down so Mommy & Daddy could have a date! We went to Javier's and ate some delicious Mexican food and then played a round of shuffleboard at Dave and Busters.  Everyone survived just a bit smokier than the start (Laguna Canyon was on fire).

Thanks Mom for watching the kiddos!

Story time

Put your feet up and enjoy....some stories just need to be shared. Sorry Amber but you already heard it.

One day Addie makes a complete mess at dinner and is covered in rice. Steven takes her outside, takes off her shirt to shake it off. She runs around top less for a bit while we finish eaying.  She then proceeds to strip down and run into her playhouse naked while we finish dinner.  What happens next? Steven goes to get her. Finds her squatting...pooping and peeing outside in her playhouse YUCK...now you're thinking ya that sounds like a 2 year old and potty training. ...but wait.... the kicker... Midnight Eats It! EEEEW

Happy Father's Day 2016

Happy Father's Day to Steven. Addie and Andrew are too young to tell you how good of a father you are to them. Even though you cant braid hair yet, you have become the best Dad.  When Addie wakes up crying because she's afraid of the dark she yells for "Dada" to sooth her back to sleep, you're there. When Andrew has a poopy diaper in the middle of the night you get up and change it. You have wrestle time in the living room with Addie. You play chase at the park,  you teach Addie how to play t-ball, you cuddle before bedtime, you play legos, you take Addie to the home depot activity every month, you read more books at bedtime than Mommy, you do so much and more. We are blessed every day for you.

Happy Father's day to my Dad Kevin. Papa is the greatest. Addie always wants to call you and go to your house and play.  We love you lots and can't wait to celebrate with you.

Happy Father's day to Clif. I've known you for the past 16 years and I thank you for raising Steven and being an example of a great father to him.

Happy Father's day to Daniel, and Erick. It's been beautiful growing up with you and now with your kids.  I would have never guessed that the quiet brother, blaster of heavy metal of Steven would turn out to be such a loving, caring and genuine father. Erick, the guy that LOVES games. I thought you had kids so you could have someone to play video games with, jk. You're so supportive, loving and goofy. We love you both.

Happy Father's day to Nate and all the cousins that were hit hard today loosing him. We are shocked, saddened and in disbelief that we could loose such a great father, brother, cousin, and friend on today of all days. We are blessed to have celebrated with you last night at Beka's graduation party. Were praying for Gina, Henry and the whole family xoxo

We love all our fathers, and grandpa's...Happy Father's day.
