Kind of like the beach

Last night we went over to Daybreak and hung out on their "beach". They have soft sand and water...but its eerily quiet with no waves....just the sound of splashing. oh I miss the ocean! so I added the sounds of waves to my playlist. It almost sounds real....not! Come on Scott, smile....its OUR pose!!

First Day of School

Today was Madison's first day of first grade, first day to stay all day and first day to eat lunch at school. She was sooooo excited. I took 2 pictures and the camera died...battery dead! WHAT!?? so as sooon as I buy a new battery....ill upload the photos. bad mom!

Finally here are the pics!

My baby is in first grade!

First Day of School

Is a 4th grader too old to have her mama take pictures of her outstide before school? I didn't follow her into class.... Although Scott told me I took way to many pictures. :( Oh well... When Alexandra was 4 months old I taught 4th grade that year...so its kind of like her second time there. I hope you have a wonderful year Yaya! I already miss you!

Camping

Camping for us is a relaxing time to just lay around and do nothing. Love it! (with a trailer) Playing Go Fish with giant cards

Another Conversation with Madison

This conversation took place as we walked out of a Vons grocery store in Del Mar, CA. Madison had just taken the money out of the change dispenser after I paid with cash for a few things.

Madison: Mom I'm going to start collecting money because I want to be rich.
Me: okay
Madison: Did you know its fun to be rich?
Me: No I didn't but it sounds fun!
Madison: Yep! I am going to collect money, so if you see any mom....give it to me!

San Diego

From the pool to the beach.....we had a great time!

oh SNAP!

Well some of you might know that I have high blood pressure. It all started back in 2000 while I was pg with little ol'Alexandra. Not feeling so great at a dr's appt....yeah I was put on strict bed rest and medication for the remainder of the pregnancy. 3 years later, pg with Madison, the same thing minus the bed rest. Then about 3 years after that I had to start taking medicine everyday....bummer. Well about a month ago....I was told that I could stop taking the meds...but keep checking my blood pressure and if it goes up start back on the meds. booo! Today it happened....last night it was high...this morning it was high. oh im soooo disappointed!

The beach is calling....the beach is calling! Will I answer?

The Garden is Growing

I have picked 6 perfect sized zucchinis, 2 tomatoes and a bunch of weeds. I also killed 4 grasshoppers with my bare hands tonight. I love summer!

Swimming

Almost everyday for the past 2 weeks the girls and I have been going to the local pool. We have a lot of fun in the blazing sun. We have also been disappointed because with in minutes of the pool opening all the chairs and shade are GONE! So yesterday I devised a plan...we stood in line for the pool to open. 15 minutes passed by and the doors open, Alexandra got her wrist band on...I yell "RUN!" and she got us the last piece of shade! Yippee!!! I was soooo excited. 3 hours later after playing in the pool and reapplying sunscreen 1/2 way through we gave up our shade and left the pool. We come home and I start to realize......we all got burned today. WHAT? Huh? Okay so we have been going to the pool for the past 2 weeks and today we get burned??? booooo!
Mom do we have to take more pictures?

The big bucket drops 3000 gallons of water!
