Happy Birthday Aiana!

This photo was taken 14 years ago, it doesn't seem that long ago, yet as I look back over the years so much has taken place. Oh what I would give to go back and relive this sweet moment, to hold and smell this precious little girl. I have so many wonderful memories of you, Aiana, over the last 14 years. Aiana, you have and continue to teach me so much sweetheart. Life is full of all kinds of twists and turns, I love you just the same through it all!

























Happy 14th birthday baby! I had a blast with you in Hollywood!































































Trip to Clarke's


The girls and I had a great day with our cousins. Caylin and Anika enjoyed playing dress up and fashion show, Clarke was kind enough to let them have fun in her closet.

Visit to the lighthouse

We took a trip to the tide pools and lighthouse the other day. This outing reminds me so much of my dad. He used to take my brother and I tide pooling a lot when we were younger. Picnic lunch and tide pooling is a wonderful outing. As the girls get older I want to do this more often!














Bike Parade

Caylin had her last preschool bike parade. The kids "dress" up their bikes, bring them to school, and proudly show them off as they ride around the parking lot.

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day I just wanted to have some quality time with my family. We did a little staycation down at the beach and spent the day swimming, eating, and lounging. I love when all my girls are together, well, when the whole family is together. I love watching my girls interact...when their not fighting. :) Aiana brought beads and showed Caylin and Anika how to make bracelets. Being a mom is hard work, but there's also nothing better. My girls are teaching me so much more than I could ever learn without them in my life. There's a lot that I feel like I'm loosing, like brain cells and sleep, but what I'm gaining will carry me through. Thank you girls for the joy you bring to my life, and for teaching me how to love deep and unconditionally. I love you!! and to my own mom, thank you for being so patient with me, believing in me, and always loving me unconditionally! I love you! and to my husband thank you for sticking with me through thick and thin and for cherishing me as the mother of your children. I love you!

Worship time

The other day I was listening to Hillsong and found Anika in the other room like this...

Open house

We attended Caylin's last preschool open house. She just loves her teachers. She comes home everyday after school and reenacts the day, reading books and singing songs, I love it!
Eric Carle was the theme for their classroom.
