20 Months Old – CALVIN

· CHILDREN, FAMILY

Calvin is 20 months old!  I can't believe he is almost 2 years old, where has the time gone. He is such a sweet boy, but also very wild and adventuresome.

First Ever Bike-A-Thon

· CHILDREN

Last Thursday Emmett was in his school bike-a-thon.  It is so heart warming to watch a bunch of 3 and 4 year olds bike around for the first time.  They all did an excellent job.  I only saw 2 crashes and they got right back up and back to biking! Every child received a participation medal and we were able to raise some money for new school equipment.  So proud of that medal.  He told me " I am rich now" ha ha He thought it was a race at first, … [Read more...] about First Ever Bike-A-Thon

Knott’s Berry Farm Passes

· CHILDREN, TRAVEL

Is it a good deal to get a Knott's Berry Farm year pass?  Today I am going to share my Knott's Berry Farm pass experience. In January we bought Knott's Berry Farm year passes for everyone in our family.  We currently live around 30 minutes from the theme park so it is easy for us to go for a full day or half day of fun.  The passes are a great deal!  If you plan to go more than 3 times you will pay less than a regular day ticket price. We decided to not buy a parking pass because most of our … [Read more...] about Knott’s Berry Farm Passes

Calvin’s First Birthday Video

· CHILDREN, FAMILY

I finally got around to making a video of Calvin's first birthday.  We had such a great time keeping it super simple this year.  We literally had cake and the cousin kids over to play. On his actual birthday we saw the Blue Angels in Huntington Beach and finished the cake from the day before.  From now on this is how we will do all the birthdays.  There was no stress and way more fun, turns out kids don't know the difference between a huge party and no party ha ha. … [Read more...] about Calvin’s First Birthday Video

Victory Park in Tustin

· CHILDREN

We went to the park the other day and it was great because Calvin is finally the age where he can actually play. He was able to go down the slide and run around with Emmett. They had so much fun! It was super hot out so we only stayed about an hour, but I was so happy I decided to get out of the house and go explore a new park. I forgot to take pictures but I did take a lot of video. This park is really awesome!  Its good for little kids and big kids, something for everyone!   … [Read more...] about Victory Park in Tustin

Emmett at School

· CHILDREN, FAMILY

Emmett has been going to preschool for one month now and he really loves it.  He has no problem when I drop him off, he actually runs into the classroom!  When I pick him up I get to hear all of the awesome things he did during the day. The school takes a few pictures of them when they are concentrating on an activity.  I love that I get to see this because a lot of the time he doesn't tell me everything that they did. Here are some of the pictures from the first … [Read more...] about Emmett at School

Calvin is One!

· CHILDREN

Today is Calvin's first birthday.  When I think I had him a year ago it seems like such a long time ago to me, but it also feels like the year flew by.  How is that possible?  Anyways we didn't have a party, but we did have some cake for him and we saw the blue angels.  So it was a great day filled with lots of fun!  Calvin is such a sweet little guy.  He is so happy all the time and he loves to laugh and joke with everyone.  He is also easy going, he eats a … [Read more...] about Calvin is One!
