Fun in the CA Sun

Zach and Ellery went to a movie night at her preschool and Beck is currently playing with pineapple chips he dumped on the floor.  I'm just going with it because it's allowing me time to finally update the bloggy.     

   
My mom and I took the kids to the SD County Fair...  







Elle's first solo ride!  She doesn't look thrilled here but she loved it and asked to take a ride in...



a big rig next!...



Turns out Wiggle Cars aren't just for children.  My mom, Ellery and I enjoyed them so much I got 2 for Christmas gifts.  And gave them to the kids the next day.  Oops...



Mallary, I have to thank you again for loading up my car with the gifts and hand-me-downs!  Now, Ellery has her own mini library and craft projects to last her a year. And the cars, trucks, planes, motorcycles and helicopters have kept us all entertained.  During one of our races, Lamby was hit by a motorcycle and needed urgent care...





2 month old Jaguars at the zoo.  Too cute!...





I think he confused her for his sibling.  :)  This is Elle's favorite dress and the perfect attire for a zoo day...




Splash pad at the Y...



I went to wash my face and came back to this...



 Birch Aquarium with D & K!...





Their 15 seconds of fame...



Before kids, we spent countless hours at doggy beaches.  When we only had Ellery, sometimes we'd plop her in the Baby Bjorn and take Nola out.  Now?  Nola's lucky if she gets a pat on the head and walk to the ball field.  Today was her lucky day...



Ocean Beach!...







One of the gifts from Mallary.  Ellery's already declared it her Halloween costume.  Perfect!...



Pool time with Ellery's buddy, Talon...

 




My sweet boy doing what he does best.  Making messes...



And helping to clean them up.  Yeah right...



HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!  Starting out the day with red(ish), white(ish) and blue(ish) pancakes!











Ellery named her RiRi Pannier...




Perfect picture of SoCal...



Ellery loves having dinner in the "forrest" and apparently, in the nude...




My best friend and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary last weekend!  We spent the day at the beach where we were married.  Love You Z!...








So fortunate to have him and them...
