Cali

It just occured to me that I never posted pics of our Cali trip over a month ago! We surprised my sister for her 30th birthday. The kids and I drove down on a Friday and we got to stay for 10 days! Ian flew out on the following Friday so he could spend Father's Day weekend with us and also see some friends/family. It was one of the best vacations and probably our best Cali trip. I did get an awful flu the first night, but it was gone 2 days later and the rest of the trip was fantastic! We didn't get to see a lot of our Murrieta and Temecula friends, but we'll stay further North next time and see everyone. Thanks especially to Shan & Jed, Marlers, and Mahkorns for being so welcoming...especially on such short notice! Here are the pics. I know there are a lot and I'm too lazy to caption all of them. But maybe it's more fun if you write your own captions. I'll give you a few hints - we spent a lot of time at the beach, did Sea World, and visited with great friends. Enjoy!

Doctor

The girls are playing with their doctor set and this is what I just heard from Emma:

"You've got blood pressure issues, so I don't want to take your blood pressure until you come back next time... Because of your issues"

Busy!

I know I've been a slacky blogger on here again lately, but trust me...I have a good excuse!! First of all, things have been hoppin' over on my other blog. Secondly, because of all the hoppin' on my other blog, I've been doing a lot of organizing, shopping, cleaning, and painting to get ready for our new baby!

So, I appologize for my past slackiness and for the future slackiness as things get busier around here while we prepare for Malachi Eyob. I will try to get some picture blogging done before we travel to Ethiopia, though so I'm all caught up when we get back!

Hugs!!

Happy Birthday Mckenna Rae!

I know it's a day after, but I think the pictures are worth the wait. My sweet baby girl joined our family 5 years ago, and we have been completely entertained ever since. Happy birthday my love!


Making the cake:
Yummmmm
Her bday dinner: spaghetti noodles - no sauce, peas, corn, and strawberry banana orange smoothie. And she loved it all.
So did David!

Her cake was SOOOO good!
