Hot hot hot

Phew, it was HOT last week.  We had santa ana conditions for 5 days - strong winds and dry, hot conditions.  

Thankfully, our house stayed pretty cool and we found enough water/shady activities to do to keep everyone busy.  

93 degrees on my car temp!

We met friends at a splash park one morning.  Cole loved it. 

Cole playing with the water.  Sydney is in the pink playing with her friend Caleb. 

Sydney and Ellie using teamwork to get the water going

He looks so old with this hat on!!

One afternoon we filled up our water table and little pool.  Dont mind the naked babies :) 

Even though the water was COLD, he could have sat in here all day. 

Sydney loudning with the boys during preschool snack time

She kills me - got dressed all by herself and came out looking like this!

Went to story hour at the library one morning and then Sydney put on a puppet show for us in the play area!

Cheers!

While we stayed with my parents last summer after leaving Hawaii, every night at dinner after saying grace, we would "cheers" with our cups. Not sure how it started but it has stuck.  Sydney always is the first to cheers and now Cole wants in on the action.

I love his high pitched "cheers!".  He holds his cup up and keeps saying cheers until you hit his cup!  So fun!

Easter 2014

We woke up Easter morning to find that the Easter Bunny had stopped at our house!!

Gummi bears for breakfast!!

Headed to church after our sugar breakfast and came home for naps.

Our family!

The boys!

Love Syd's smile in this one

And Cole's in this one.  Sadly, not one with all of us smiling!  Next year!

After naps we headed over to Nani and Poppa's to continue our Easter fun!

Nani's amazing centerpieces

The table!

Bunny cake

And her watermelon bunny she filled with fruit!  SO creative and made it so festive!

Nani and Poppa hid eggs for Sydney and Cole to find:

There was a little car in one of the eggs and Bubba would make the wheels move and Cole would start laughing hysterically.  

She checked under Cali to see if she was hiding an egg... 

Can you spot the egg in the picture??!!??  

She found it!!!  (look in the chair)

Showing Poppa his car

These two could have played all day!

LOVE!

After a delicious dinner, we played Left - Right - Center
