1st time at the beach

We took the kids to see the ocean for the first time.  They loved it!  We are looking forward to going back when it's a bit warmer and playing in the water and in the sand :)

Aquarium

Thank you Mimi and Papa for the membership to the aquarium in Monterey!  We went last weekend and had a blast looking at all the fish and sea life.  We can't wait to go back and check out all the things we missed!

Poor youngest child...mommy didn't have time to make cupcakes so she had to eat store bought...next year will be less hectic!

We LOVE our new houses driveway and sidewalk!  If it isn't raining after school you can find us out there riding bikes, scooters, playing soccer and having a great time!

Welcome to Chapman

Our time is almost up here in Chapman.  We are all sad to be leaving, but are also very excited to see what CA has in store for us!  Today we hiked out to the sign at the edge of town to get a picture :)  After 5 shots I got one where all 5 are looking at me!!!
