Huntington Beach

Huntington Beach is where we headed today.

If you look close enough you can see 1 of the 2 dolphins that were swimming close by us at the ocean today! Of course I wasn't fast enough with my camera when 1 of them actually jumped out of the water :/

My little loves had so much fun today!

And they all worked together when Michael wanted to get buried :)

Mackenzie and I made a little castle for Queen Mona.

Ok kids just stay right there...

Ok GO!

(check out the link of my little loves splashing around)

Loads of fun was had by all, and hopefully we'll get out there one more time before we head home!

Vacation Time!!!!

We finally got enough funds together to take a real family vacation!

We boarded the plane and headed out to California to Visit my Uncle and Aunt. And of course hit up Disney!!

I was VERY nervous about the plane ride. But yet again my little loves surprised me and did rather well. I had tons of things to keep them occupied, in fact I had to much stuff, but at least they stayed entertained and did just fine!

Let the vacation begin!!

Mother's Day

Yes, WAY back in May we went to the zoo on Mothers Day

 What I thought was going to be a cool day turned out to be a gorgeous 80 degree day! And the animals were all out and active that day.

There is nothing that puts a smile on my face more than a Dad and his little girls :)

And the Zoo wouldn't be complete without a train ride at the end

Spring Fling

Mackenzie was SOOO excited about the spring fling the 4k students had put together. She was lucky to land the lead role as the person to kick off the show!

ok so I couldn't figure out how to download the video, so the link should take you to it :)

Mackenzie where are you!?

This was the only picture I was able to get of Mackenzie that her face wasn't hidden. Its so hard as a parent to find just the right spot to sit to get that perfect view...

In the end it was a great show, even if I didn't get that perfect picture of her.

Baseball season

Baseball season has officially begun, well it did about 3 weeks ago...

Landon took the year off last year but decided to play this year since Steve is coaching. And oh how I love watching these two play together and cheer each other on!

Landon is a little rusty, but he sure isn't afraid to go out there and give it his all. 

They won their first game and got to do the celebratory run around the bases after the game was over. 

Now we just have to work on getting another win under their belt.

Madison

Michael's class went on a field trip to Madison a few weeks back...It just took me awhile to post it :/

Our first stop was the Kohl center which the boys were all excited about since we were there right after the the badgers had lost their last game of the playoffs.

They were busy cleaning off the ice and getting ready for the next event!

Our next stop was to a war museum across the street from the Capitol. 

The capitol!

The tour guide was telling us an interesting story about this haunted picture. Apparently years ago there was a painting here that was painted over with this new picture. Well if you look closely above the beaver on the rock you can see the ghost man with a hat on. He apparently did want to be painted over and has slowly started to come thru the new painting.

Of course my pictures don't do it justice, but the ceiling is just amazing!

Congress man Michael

Testing out the Governors seat ;)

This was the table leg to the table Michael was sitting at in the picture above, I loved the detailed carving.

The ceiling in the governors office, another example of all the intricate work done it our capitol building.
