Good Times

We've been having fun!

 Friday night was the Primary PJ'S Party.
In addition to going in our PJ'S, P was for Prayer, J was for Journals, and S was for Scriptures.

They made prayer rocks and journals.

Jeremy wrote in his journal all by himself. I was so proud of him.
I love the illustrations too. He drew a monkey, our family, he and I having a party, he and Kelsey playing with sticks, and our cat, Fireball.

That night we had a little girls night get-together with Wii dancing and the spa! So great.

Kelsey's all into baseball caps right now. So cute.

We walked Mile Square Park with my SIL and her kids.
Kelsey chased this squirrel who was quite tame until he heard Kelsey's squeaky shoes.

Kelsey and her cousin had fun swinging. Look at that cheese!

Last night was 31 cent scoop night at Baskin Robbins.
Oh what a mess!

We each got a triple scoop with Rocky Road, Cookies and Cream, and Peanut Butter Chocolate.

It was delicious!

Earth Day

Yesterday was Earth Day. I'm sure some people did very noble things like planting trees, picking up litter, learning about how to save our planet, and other such things. We went to the mall! I posted on my FREE blog about some great deals going on. We had fun going around and collecting all our FREE Earth Day loot.

I got a FREE facial cleanser from Origins worth $18.50 for turning in my empty old Target brand facial cleanser. Jeremy got a FREE baseball hat from the Disney store for turning in 6 recyclable bottles and cans. We got this FREE totebag from Babies R Us.

Daddy came home with a bag full of FREE goodies from the environmental fair at work. He got all sorts of environmentally safe cleaners, pens, paper, a lightbulb, seeds, a cleaning cloth, an insulated tote, and more!

Perhaps next year I'll be more on the ball and actually have an educational Earth Day planned, but this year we just had fun!

Dinosaur Park

Last week was Spring Break for my niece so we met at a park in Laguna Hills called Dinosaur Park. The kids really liked it!

They had things to swing on...

things to slide on...

and things to climb on!

They had diggers to search for fossils!

One of their favorite things was this big skeleton.

You could go under it...

climb up its tail...

play peek-a-boo...

boo...

boo!

Of course the best part of all was right across the street...

Thanks for a great day!

Knotts Berry Farm

I am a wimpy weather girl. I admit it. I don't like it to be colder than 60 degrees, 65 if at all possible, and I don't like it to be warmer than 75 degrees. How did I get this way? I was raised in a wide temperature range with temperatures sometimes ranging 60 degrees in one day! We'd have frost on the windows in the morning and be boiling by mid-afternoon. Heaven forbid I'd actually have to live somewhere with REAL extremes in temperature where people can die in the elements! Having said that, I really wanted to get passes to Knott's Soak City this summer to have somewhere to go when I'm getting grouchy from the heat. The passes are such a good deal, and it was only a little bit more to add on Knott's Berry Farm as well. Our Disneyland passes expired at the end of March, so we went for it!

Last Friday Daddy took off work and we went to the park.

We hung out in Camp Snoopy for a while.

I couldn't believe Kelsey could do the Huff n' Puff. She knew just how to make it go! Of course Jeremy was in back of her to give her a little push when she got tired.

We got the biggest bag of kettle corn I'd ever seen! It was delicious and so addicting! I couldn't stuff it in my mouth fast enough!

Daddy and Jeremy hit the big roller-coasters. It all started out pleasant enough and then...

He always wants to go again, so he must be having fun!

Towards the end of the day Jeremy wanted to go on the big monster water ride, Perilous Plunge. I'd never seen it before. It looked terrifying and the people were getting soaked on it! I never go on water rides because I'm very vain and my hair looks terrible afterwards, but I was feeling like an adventure so I told Jeremy I'd take him. We made a deal that if we went, it would be the last ride of the day so I wouldn't have to walk around looking like a drowned rat. He agreed! I couldn't believe he even wanted to go. That boy is fearless! Such a timid boy normally, but not when it comes to roller-coasters!

Daddy got this great picture of us hitting the water at the bottom.

It was awesome!

We had fun, I got ugly, and then we went home.

Can't wait to do it again! 

The End.

Easter Pictures

One of the homeschool groups we belong to had a photographer come to the park so we could have the opportunity for a "school picture day." Well you know I was all over that! I decided they should be Easter pictures. Jeremy was hamming it up for the camera! Kelsey was not so cooperative, but still cute.

Pop!

Look what popped up in our garden!

Oh I'm so excited!

Fun Weekend

We decided to go to the Orange County Marketplace with Grandma and Grandpa on Saturday morning.

We hurried to get ready and eat breakfast.

Did you know that strawberries have hearts in the middle? Adorable.

They're even more adorable on waffles with whipped cream.

Most adorable of all was Kelsey and Grandpa reading together.

And a little snuggle too.

Grandma bought these pretty flowers for her table.

Kelsey thought they smelled good.

The two prettiest things at the swap meet.

This cute bag came home with me. I fell in love with it.
Don't you just love the colors?

Addicted.

So fun to have cousins.

Oh I love her.
