Daddy's birthday...

Today is Daddy's birthday and the kids (they love parties~especially birthday parties) were so happy that it was his special day! They jumped on him and gave him his presents. We went to dinner with Nanny at the Olive Garden.

Beach...

Today is Chris's birthday and we headed to the beach. We joined him, JP and Marissa in Mission Beach for a little sand and water play. The kids love going to the beach and today was a perfect day to go! We sat on the beach, jumped in the waves, built sandcastles, made birthday cakes... Oh the possibilities were endless it seemed!

4th of July...

Today is the 4th of July! We went over to Coronado with our bikes to get to the parade without walking the entire way from the car. It was great! The kids enjoyed seeing all of the floats and clowns, bands and horses, mini cars and bikes... We saw Delaney walking in the parade with a friend of hers. They got to eat donuts, ice cream and loads of other junkie stuff that was around. They loved it. Afterwards we went over to the Lunas and they played hide-and-seek with the girls. They love this game...even if they hide in the same spot every time. The excitement is great for them! We came home as everyone was getting ready for the fireworks and Benjamin and Hannah were tired out!! We looked for some fireworks on our way home but only saw some as we pulled into the garage. The kids loved it. Maybe next year we'll get to see them up close!

Party...

Tonight there was a surprise birthday party for my uncle Ramon at my parents house. The kids were so excited about it all because they love parties! We got all dressed up and went over there a bit early. Hannah didn't want to go into the pool when we got there so she and I stayed out. Benjamin and Corey went in and had a little fun before the party started. Some other kids came and they were off playing together on the hammock. They hung on it in all kinds of ways. They had their spot to play and were there for a good part of the night. Hannah really liked Madison, a cousin from LA, and Benjamin hung out with Marissa. They had a grand ole time running around the party with each other.
