what a week...

we just got back from california with corbs family. we just missed our cousins so much and it was so fun to just hang out with them for 7 days. my kids just loved every minute with their cousins.

we did it all...

spent the day at the del mar race track...




{trying to get a group shot of all the kids!}


pony rides for the kiddos

cecily wasn't sure about this
the kids were loving watching the horese and being so close, 
they started to do races. it seemed like a fun activity of course until someone fell...ouch!!! :(
that's it...time to go!

many days at the beach & pool

 



 

in my attempt to be a fun my, i volunteered to be burried with sand......
bad bad idea! cecily was totally freaking out and scared and i had sand every where!



disneyland




cecily working with corb one day. she said that she was texting....she's 2 and already texting!

we always take roadtrip and we love to drive in the car.it is such a great time talking to each other and to the kids.  we, well i, decided to take some pics of us on the way to document.  the camera died so there weren't very many to choose from. none of the pics were that good. don't judge!


we stopped at kneaders in yuma on the way home, our favorite place! we seriously were a mess and shouldn't have been in public. cecily was just an absolute disaster. you can't tell how bad it was from this photo, but she had peed through her diaper, she has only 1 shoe and it's on the wrong foot and she was filthy! just had to share it because it was pretty funny!

1st grade...

anthony started 1st grade this week...he is getting to old!!!
he was so excited about getting to play on the big playgroup with the red monkeys bars at recess!
he was excited to have mrs. rotert because she won teacher of the year last year. he said he saw her trophey and it was a lot smaller than he thought it would be, but it was cool!
he was excited about being able to walk to school with his friends!

i am not so excited to see him gone. :(

so he woke up to a big breakfast and everybody ready to see him off.
he could be happier to be back to school. it is nice to see them so thrilled about school, but sad because my anthony is spending more time at school then at home!

then some quick photos
some of anthony's friends.
here's to a great 1st grade year!

{my photog friend megan, asked us if we would be the couple for a mock wedding shoot a few months ago.
she was revamping her website and needed a couple that was crazy in love!!!!!;)
you don't have to ask me twice to get all dolled up and do it again...
corb was a little reluctant, but he was a good sport and he surprisingly had a lot of fun!}
  
8 years later....
he still loves me & i love him more and more everyday!
