I've been feeling like a crazy lady lately - living just one day at a time, trying my best to squeeze everything in. I gotta get a bunch of "little things" documented before I can feel the relief of having my blog all caught up and be able to move onto all that we've got coming up.
Elle scored her 2nd goal of the season this past Saturday which we all celebrated afterwards!
We had a free Saturday several weeks ago which we spent at the Santa Barbara Zoo, and then onto our favorite family restaurant - Padaro Grill:
We decided to take a walk along the beach before heading home and were kicking ourselves that we didn't just bring our suits and spend the afternoon at the beach.
I sure love watching my kids develop close relationships with each other. Elle takes such good care of Calvin:
Elle got into the 9am kindergarten group so she and Cal now have an additional hour to play each morning together. Cal feels like such a big boy when he gets to line up with Elle at school drop-off.
What a stellar kindergartener Elle is! I get to work in her classroom almost every week and I love seeing how well she gets along with everyone and how quickly she gets her work down. And check out her beautiful handwriting:
Madi is thriving in 2nd grade! She loves school and is learning tons! She had a pretty awesome field trip out to a farm out in Santa Paula last month and came home with some great produce to share! We all enjoyed those hand picked carrots! She's also been busy with swim lessons M-W which explains her attire.
I love being there to watch Madi swim and Elle likes to take my phone and take lots of pictures while I watch!
Our trip to Utah/Wyoming had me in Logan on a Friday morning with nothing going on, so I took advantage of the time and met up with my favorite cousin for a morning run - which turned into a hike up some steep hills overlooking the Logan temple! Absolutely gorgeous and such a blast to spend a morning with this amazing cousin of mine who I love so much!
Speaking of Logan..... it was fun for my kids to get to play with their cousins while we were there. Calvin and Bailey really hit it off which I was happy to see.
In case you're wondering what they were up to in the first picture, here's a picture with the creek they were busy throwing rocks into:
Such sweet little friends!
And the Hales have some pretty awesome toys in their backyard which helped to keep our kids entertained while we were there.
Loved this shot on our drive home from Utah. We tried to get Boppi to trade seats, but she insisted that she was comfortable back there. Not sure how well she could walk the next day!
Cal's little preschool group is the cutest! I love getting pics sent to me afterwards and hearing about how much fun he's having with all his buddies!
Conference weekend was awesome! I had the perfect activity for Madi to work on while she listened. After 4 sessions of conference we'd created an awesome wreath (I'll have to post a pic of the final product)!
Of course we made our annual Conference cinnamon rolls which the kids always look forward to:
Camarillo is finally cooling down and starting to feel like fall! Hallelujah! I've been loving my morning runs - the fog this particular morning was pretty awesome:
Oh, and I broke my toe 11 weeks ago. It obviously didn't heal correctly and I'm guessing I'm always going to have a weird looking left middle toe.
Friday was our annual school dance-athon - 80's theme.
Cal and I had fun going to the school to dance with Madi and Elle.
And more to come on these sweet kids I love so much!
