Colorful Backyard

The kids were excited to play with the new sidewalk chalk and look at the masterpiece they did!

Ellanie is really into painting!

Got Apples

We had a fun day planned with lots of friends and family in Yucaipa apple picking!

These are however the only apples seen, as when we got there they had stopped the picking because they had run out of apples. It was a bad crop season and they had a 1/3 of the supply of apples that they had last year.
So we were quickly off to take advantage of all the other fun activities they offer.
Ellie and her cousins she loves so much! We were lucky to get to spend the day with Aunt Kim, Emma and Payton along with Grandma and Grandpa Case.
The kids spent some time in the petting zoo.
It was not coordinated that they all dresses alike, however, somehow I thought it was going to be cool and dressed the kids accordingly and it ended up being in the 90's. So that and Logan being a stuborn 2 year old is what led to him with no shirt.
We were also lucky to spend the day with good friends Tricia, Vinnie and her family and Ligia and her family. It was so nice to be with everyone.
They loved throwing hay around.
And we did get to try carmel apples :)
After that the kids wore of their energy by chasing each other around and around and around. Ellie, Logan and Wally had a great time running all around.
Just before we headed home we took the hay ride through the orchards and tried some crab apples. Here is cute little Tabs trying them out.
So no apples but a great time spent with family and friends!

Turkey's and Strikes

We took the kids bowling for the first time and they loved it! They had a great time and loved cheering each other on and celebrating!

Both would eagerly wait for the ball after he roll.

Logan sure used his arm muscles bowling, he lifted that 6 pnd ball and carried it to the lane all by himself and we bowled for three hours.

The suspense....

Must have been a strike!

Cant wait to do it again, it was so much fun!

Morning Workout

Logan having his morning yogurt and then going for a run.

DISNEYLAND

It was an exciting day, the kids first time to Disneyland! We did get an annual pass so we will be seeing allot of Mickey and Minnie this year.

Taking it all in :)
They can find water to play in no matter where we are!
Both kids really liked the rides we went on!
And they did pretty good standing in line!
Ellanie's favorite ride is the carousel, she loves to ride the carousel every time we are at the mall and was so excited to see such a big one.
On it's a small world and amazed.

Happy Birthday Jacob!

We had a great time celebrating Jacob's smurf themed birthday!

Logan was so funny sitting there supervising all the kids running around.

He was all business at this party, supervising and checking emails...lol
After everyone played for a while, the kids got to have pizza for the first time.
The cutest little smurfs around!
All the neighborhood kids, best group shot we could capture!
