Improvement

Back in June I posted a picture of Carson's bed that he had so kindly made for me. If you don't remember this is what it looked like when he was done.

Well about a week ago I was cleaning up my room and Carson ran into his room to help me clean up.
When I went in his room to see what he had done this is what I found...

Pretty nice improvement!!
Thanks Carson, I love how helpful you always are!

Story Time with Dad!!

This makes me SMILE!!

Sea World

On August 18th we went to Sea World with my whole family. Sea World used to be one of my favorite places. The dolphin show was always my favorite, followed by the sea lion and otter show. The dolphin show was horrible. They have totally changed the show! You don't even get to see the dolphins for very long. They do a lot of human acrobatic stuff which was fine, but we came to see the dolphins...BIG disappointment! The sea lion and otter was still pretty good! Not as funny as I remember it before, but still pretty cute! Carson really liked that one. We didn't even go to the Shamu show because the trainers can't even get in the water anymore, so we skipped that one! So although Sea World itself was a bit of a disappointment, we still had a great time hanging out as a family!! It was fun to have EVERYONE there!

I loved watching the kids as we walked through the shark encounter. Carson loves when they are swimming all around you...of course behind glass!!

It was a pretty hot day, but luckily we brought the kids swimsuits, so we got to go play in the water park they have there. Bailey LOVED the water squirting out of the ground! She was so funny to watch!!

By the end of the day, my kids were DONE!! Luckily they fell asleep...can you tell how excited I am about that!!

Here is a picture of all of us!

Such a fun day!! Thanks Mom and Dad for taking us!

What a BIG GIRL!!!!

Bailey is sleeping in a big girl bed!!

Here is a picture of her on her first night in a big girl bed!! She absolutely loves sleeping in her bed. She is so cute, she always wants a stuffed animal to cuddle with. I am surprised that it was such an easy transition. She stays in her bed and my favorite part is that she will play in her room when she first wakes up in the morning. I can usually squeeze a shower in when I first hear her making noises in her room!! It works out great for me!!

Pretend City!!

On Aug. 13th we went to a place called Pretend City in Irvine. It was so cute and the kids had a great time. My mom took us with Laura, Lilly and Jensen. I think my kids would have enjoyed it more if they had been just a few years older. I think the perfect age is 4 and up.

They had so many different little stations that you could go to. A fire department, a library, an art studio, a grocery store, a house, a stage with dress up clothes, a police station, a beach, a restaurant, a post office, a doctors office...I am missing a few but it was great.

Here is a picture overload of what we did...check out the fridge that Carson was organizing!! He is so funny!

Thanks for taking us mom we had such a great time!!!

Bonfire

On August 4th we went down to San Clemente to have a bonfire. My sister's boyfriends family was in town so we decided to go and cook some hot dogs and s'mores. Here is Katie and her boyfriend Jesse.

Carson loved playing paddle ball.

Katie was nice enough to drag my kids around for a while on the boggie board. They LOVED that...

especially Bailey!!

I thought I would show a picture of Bailey's outfit. When Ryan saw her that day he said that she looked very earthy! And Katie was asking if she wanted to go hug a couple trees!! :)

On the way home Bailey fell asleep with Carson's Buzz doll. She LOVES toy story!!
