End of the school year fun!

Doughnuts for dad but the kids seemed to enjoy it more.

Doughnuts for dad day at the school. Matthew really enjoyed that.

End of school Hawaiian day in the preschool. They even did a little hula dance. So cute!

The line for the pinata.

Pinata party for the preschool party for the end of the year.

End of Preschool party at the park with food, games, and face painting.

The boys love to use the slide into the little pool. It becomes hours of fun!

Big Splash!

Her hair is getting long. Eric pulled it straight up and it stayed.

Back view of the high hair

Matthew and his trimester awards from his school. He is a smartie!

Ian's "Dude" poses

He explained that dudes cross their legs in the pictures and took careful positioning before I could take the picture.

Yeah. I'm a dude!

Apparently this is also another one of the "dude" poses. I think it is like a skateboarding pose.

Easter 2010




He is showing a rolie polie in his hand.


Easter egg hunt on Saturday at a friend's house.

I made their easter egg baskets out of ribbon and a storage basket. They came out really cute!


The eggs we colored this year!

In anticipation of the Easter egg hunt. I think they are calculating the path of
maximum egg capturing.

Yeah! Eggs!

After each one Ian found he would ask if he could eat it. He was more interested in eating the eggs than finding them.

Ian is pointing to Calista where the egg is. She couldn't see it!

Travel Town in March

This isn't at traveltown but a cute picture with my jacket as a makeshift jacket for the baby girl.

The mad Greeks!

Riding the train. Choo-choo!

Wild animals! Grrrrrr....

Here is that cage I need in my home for my little wild animals called children! It's already labeled too. I'll take one to go please!

Look at the concentration. I will get to the end!

He can stop a train just by leaning up casually against it. Wow!

Love this pic!

Evolution of mommy love. First the hugging...

...then the raspberry blowing on the tummy...

...and finally the funny face making for giggles. I love the motherly duties!

Solvang

Leaving the hotel to go to Solvang. She is riding like a princess on a chariot. She was very content and did not try to get off the whole way.

Outside a museum in Solvang.

When you rent one of these you realize how many hills there are that you never knew existed.

Yummy.

Relaxing after the rigorous bike ride.

Matthew and Ian scored free stuff at Del Sol. They were very nice to my kids. Here he is sporting his trinkets and the new cowboy hat he got.

We visited the mission in Lompoc. Apparently this mission is the most restored out of all of the missions. It was really neat to see since I have never seen a mission before and I never had to do the mission projects in elementary school.

The kids even had lots of fun there.

We went to the Santa Barbara Zoo on the way home because I had made a deal with Ian that ge would not let me forget. We were supposed to go to the Los Angeles Zoo before we were suddenly whisked away to Solvang. Ian was very upset and did not want to go so I told him we would find a zoo around there to go to. Everyday he made sure I remembered this deal until we got there.

The train around the zoo. We got close to a lioness who I thought looked very much like she was sizing up her meals as we passed by.

Train fun!


This is of Calista riding her chariot out of the hotel and of her singing a song from the Disney movie "Up!" in the car on the way to Solvang. Too cute!

Lazy May!

She always takes off her shoes and socks and sticks the socks on her hands. Don't know why but she walks around everywhere like this. If you are ever missing a sock, she probably has it on her hand!

Two Matthew's? I don't think I had twins. Hmmm....

Don't you know that when you get a sticker you are supposed to put it on your nose and then go about your day as usual?

Don't know why the picture uploads like this. It was not taken this way, but it looks cool. It looks like I am Superwoman holding my kids and flying away. I mean I AM superwoman and flying is a very normal think in my house.

Slumber Party!

Cozy and cute!
