Crunching Leaves and a Park Day

We stopped at a little park on the way to work today and Cade found leaves! :) He loves, loves, loves to crunch leaves and finds them anywhere we go. I have taken videos of him crunching them and now he even likes to watch ”Cade crunching yeeves”. I so love spending time with this little bug...

Pool Fun

New Sandbox!

Cade loves to dig. Usually he digs at the beach or out in the yard at Grandma's, but today we got to Grandma's to find a lovely surprise! A sandbox, full of sand for digging and shoveling! Auntie Lizabeth even joined us for dig :)

Took a ride in the wheelbarrow too!

Family Day with the Animals

We spend a lot of time together on Sundays when Chris and I are both off, but mostly we hang out at home or head to the beach. My mom had given us passes to the wild animal park and Chris hadn't been in years so we decided to go today! It was so fun! The animals were really active and we had a chance to see them up close. The elephants were right in front of us playing in the water, the bats were awake and being fed and the tigers were laying right up against the fence.

Mama is a bat!

The elephants were so close to us!

Chris really enjoyed it and we loved having him with us. We both commented on how weird it still is sometimes that we have a child and we are a family who goes to the animal park on the weekends now. We have come a long way in the last nine years.

Such a fun day and we can't wait to do it again!

She did it!

Friday night was Elizabeth's high school graduation. I can't believe it. I clearly remember the day she was born. How does time fly by so quickly??

Chris, Cade and I joined my mom and dad, Amy and Jorge, Brian, Michelle and the kids to watch her walk and cheer her on.

Cade had fun playing on the grass, playing with the letters and trucks and reading with Gramma. It was a late night for everyone since the ceremony didn't even start until 7pm!

Congratulations Biscuit! We love you!

Waterplay

Summer is here and the livin' is....hot! Actually, compared to Chico summer, it has been very cool so far. We have had a few warm sunny days though and on those days, we take full advantage of playing outside and cooling down! Sunset park is one of our favorite places to play because of the really fun splash pad they have there. Water shoots up from the ground in random places and the kids love it. We often meet Molly and the kids there to cool down. Such a water baby!
