Tiny Pedicure




I painted baby M's toes today. I had to use the express finish so it would dry fast. Now we have matching toes! I think this is the first of many pedicures for her. I can't wait until we can go together to get our nails done at the salon.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today is Valentine's day. JB and I celebrated last night. We went to a little Italian place down town San Clemente, then we went to the movies and saw Fool's Gold. It was a fun night out, and it was nice not having to fight the crowds. We had the whole movie theatre to ourselves.

These are the Valentine's treat buckets I made for the kids. I love doing things like this for the little ones. JB use to get a bucket, but this Valentine's day I made him some heart shaped sugar cookies.


Here is a picture of C-monster opening his little Valentine's surprise from Grandma and Papa.

Here is sister looking at her My Little Pony book. She is pointing at the ponies in this picture. She loves her ponies. She is such a girl. It is so much fun!

Yesterday I also made CJ and baby M cute monkey blankets, a pink for sis and blue for brother. This way they will always have blankets in the car.

Visiting GG and Papa Joe

I took the kids, along with my mom, down to visit my dad's parents in Oceanside. We had a delicious lunch together, and had a nice visit.

CJ loves going to GG and Papa Joe's house and playing with all the fun toys, running around in the back yard, and blowing bubbles.



Making Valentines

CJ had so much fun making Valentines for his grandmas and grandpas. It is so much fun that he is getting a little older and can do arts and crafts.


He was getting a little excited making cards and bubmped his head on the table, so we had to get his boo bunny out. (That's why his hand is on his head).

The River

This weekend we went to the Colorado River as a family. The weather was so beautiful. The kids had fun playing down on the dock. Saturday baby M went down for a nap, and so did Daddy (he wasn't feeling well), so Mommy and CJ went into Parker. They were having a 100 year celebration with all kinds of booths and rides for little kids. Of course CJ had to go on the train. (He is obsessed these days). He had so much fun. We love hanging out at the river, going for walks, making cookies, throwing rocks into the river, and going in the golf cart.

Happy Birthday CJ






CJ had a fun day. He had banana pancakes for breakfast. Then he went to HB and saw his friend Saxon, who gave him a cool new vacuum! That night he went out to dinner at wahoos with Mimi, Poppi, Mommy, Daddy, baby sis, and the Moodys.
