When a boy loves fire trucks.....

You end up driving around town looking for fire trucks, you take special routes/ detours to drive past the fire station and if you happen upon a fire truck sitting in a parking lot you have to drive up to it and inspect it to see how it looks.
So, when we found a eating joint that is dedicated to firemen/ houses/ trucks, etc we just had to go....

Isaac was too excited to take a second and look in the camera.

Well, okay....maybe for a second!

Grandma, Grandpa and Nana came too.

You don't see these pictures of Brian with his eyes closed very often on this blog because I don't put them on. BUT I would say about half of the pictrues I take of Brian he has his eyes closed! Since this was such a cute picture of Leila I decided to add it. Love you babe :-)

Eagle of the Month

I am so proud of Leila. She got Eagle of the Month today at school.

The whole family came out to support her.

Mrs. Sanford (the principal) reading what Leila's teacher wrote about her.

This is what Leila's teacher had to say about why Leila wa chosen as "Eagle of the Month":
Leila is such a delight to have in class. She's eager to learn and always trues to do her very BEST! She's an excellent reader and I enjoy reading what she writes. I'm lucky to be Leila's teacher!
Mrs. Bailey

We are proud of you Leila!

Snow Days

WE haven't had much snow here this winter, so whenever we get more than a few inches the kids want to go play.

Claire would sit in the snow the entire time and eat the snow.

Hillcrest's Got Spirit....

Leila did a little cheer clinic at Hillcrest. She was so cute.

The whole family came to support her!

Getting excited!

Leila and her amazing teacher Mrs. Bailey. We LOVE her!!

High-V....too funny!

Ski Day with my girl...and dad

I love, love, love skiing with Leila. We have a great time together. She does a great job going down the runs, skiing threw trees and having fun. She would wear me out if we didn't start at 3pm!!

My dad and Leila.

Heading down the mountain, in traffic. But who cares, we just had a fun day together! Little did we know at this point that we had left my skis up there!

 

I am excited to add Isaac to the fun next year!

Happy Birthday Brian

Brian turned the big 3-4 on Thursday. We had a quiet birthday. Tacos for dinner and fruit pizza for dessert. Both at the request of Brian. For dessert we invited a few friends over to join us in the festivities.

San Francisco

Last weekend my mom, Tawnya and I went to San Francisco for my mom's birthday. We had a great time, despite the rain.

Heading down to the wharf on the trolley car.

Hot fudge sundae at Ghirardelli Square...yummmmy!

Riding on the outside of the trolley car....love that!

Evelyn met us in the city for a day of fun! It was her birthday the same day as my mom. 

GoCars....one of the funnest things I have done. I have been on these 3 times now and they never get old. We are getting our driving instructions.

Safety first!

The ladies getting ready to go and Tawn taking their picture.

Along our route, the Golden Gate Bridge in the background.

We met some friends on the bus that gave us stick on mustaches....people thought we were crazy but we thought we were funny!

Tawn has more pictures.....I'll post them when she sends them to me....hint, hint.

We had a great time and hope to make it a tradition every year!
