IPHONE PICTURES

Some more iphone pics...


While waiting for Aedan and Cali to get out of school, Em started playing with all the stuff hanging out in our back seat. You know... the stuff that the kids just leave back there? A floatie and Minnie ears. Haha...


Cali wore one of her new birthday outfits to school...

It rained just a tad and Em wanted to investigate...



Aedan lost his first tooth!!! It was sooo loose and I knew it would fall out any second. Aedan woke up one morning and it was gone! He went to brush his teeth and noticed it was missing. We weren't sure when he had lost it (at Rainforest Cafe the night before on Cali's birthday? While he was sleeping?) so I  looked in his blankets and there it was! It had fallen out sometime during the night. He was so excited!! I totally forgot to take a picture the next morning when he woke up and the tooth fairy had come. He was totally excited to find a dollar and some skittles.



 I love my sweet little angel. She fell asleep in the car and I wanted to kiss those cheeks!! I took a picture instead. :)

Aedan and Cali were drawing in the car and discussing their words and colors in spanish. Aedan is so great with Cali. He is always happy to help her remember how to say a word or teach her what a word is.


We drove out to Vegas for the day because our nephew was being baptized. Em did NOT want to sit still (she had been in the car for 4 hours after all) so I took her out to walk around and she thought it was funny to play peek-a-boo with these doors...




Cali and Em had fun playing with their cousins that are the same age. Most of the kids went swimming but we didn't bring suits so they just played inside...



I got Em an ice cream cone to eat while we waited for the kids. She was pretty happy with it...



 Em usually has something with her while she's eating. Either her blanky, a purse, a bracelet or some sunglasses....

Em wanted to put on Cali's Snow White dress so I helped her put it on. Other than being a little long, it wasn't too huge. She loved walking around in it and playing....

Another treat while waiting for the kids. Chocolate shake!


Cali made a tiger hat at school. T is for Tiger!


Em has been trying to put on Cali's undies lately. It's pretty funny to watch. ;)


CAMPING AT HOME

Aedan wanted to have a campout so we decided to have one at home. Geoff was in charge of it and it ended up being pretty cool. The kids had so much fun!

Geoff set up the 2 man tent in their room so they could "camp"...


Then we made our own tin foil meals. Easy peasy ground beef and veggies seasoned and in tin foil. We cooked them in the oven and not in a campfire but it was still oh so good. ;)

We lit some candles (our "campfire") and turned out the lights...


Once our food was done we ate by "campfire"...

You can't tell but she actually loved it and gobbled it all up...

Next we had s'mores. We baked the marshmallows in the oven. The s'mores were so incredibly delicious!!






The kids all ready to go to bed...

CALI'S 5TH BIRTHDAY

Cali had a fun birthday! She wanted to go to Disneyland for her birthday which worked out perfectly since her birthday was on a minimum day. She wore her new Hello Kitty outfit and was the cutest birthday girl...


Aedan wore a new shirt too and wanted a picture... ;)

Before school we let her open her presents since we figured we'd be getting home kinda late...





She brought treat bags for her class...

At school she got a birthday hat and balloon. She wanted to wear her hat all day, even to Disneyland...

We had a fun time at Disneyland. Cali got to choose what we did but first I wanted to take a picture with the big Mickey pumpkin. I got a picture while we waited in line...

and then with the pumpkin. Em wanted to wander instead of say cheese...

Cali wanted a picture with Minnie...

Em was excited to see Minnie but when I took her out of her stroller she didn't want to go over to her. Silly girl! Minnie is her favorite!!


Cali wanted some ice cream...


While waiting to go on Small World, the clock chimed...




Cali really wanted to go on the carousel but it's closed so we went all the way over to the one in DCA...


Em LOVES the carousel but most of the pics of her were blurry. She smiled and laughed the whole time...


For dinner we went to the Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney. Since it was Grandma's birthday that week too, they met us for dinner also. The kids always love looking at the fish...


Maegan showed them the talking tree...

The birthday girls...









They sang "Happy Birthday" to Cali and gave her a cupcake. Then we got a volcano since that's Grandma's favorite...
