Back to Little Bugs 9.9.09

It was Carters 1st day back for his 2nd year of preschool at Little Bugs!

Carter was more than ready to head on back to Little bugs preschool with Miss Paula! His first day back was a success. He came home with a big smile on his face! He loves his preschool. It is so nice to have him back on a set schedule and routine. Carter was so excited to wear his new shirt and shorts on his 1st day of school. Sawyer also got a new outfit, so he could feel special too. Yeah for Preschool!

Labor Day.Valencia.Santa Barbara

Labor Day weekend we went up to my sisters house in Valencia. We decided to make a long weekend out of it and stayed the whole weekend. We had fun playing and relaxing. Seth & Kris made some delicious food for us. THe adults had fun staying up late talking while the kids were fast asleep. The highlight of the trip though was when we went to Santa Barbara. We went to the Santa Barbara zoo, which was lots of fun. It was such a cute, small, fun zoo. The kids saw all the animals they wanted to, and had lots of fun playing on a "ant hill" where you sit on card board and slide down the ant hill. The adults even had fun doing it. The kids also had fun on a big spider web, where they pretended to be spiders. After the zoo we ate at The Fish House, where we had yummy fish taco's! So GOOd!

We then walked down the street and rented SURI's! So fun! We rented two so that Jono, me and the kids went on one, and Kris, Seth and their kids went on one. We road up and down the beach! The kids loved it! Such a fun family activity while enjoying the beach scene. I just need to get pictures from my sister from Santa Barbara. The kids were wiped out after such a fun day, and we headed back to Valencia to relax. We are so glad we spent time with the Millers for Labor Day weekend. We love you guys!

A Summer Evening

We have been loving our Summer evenings. They are perfect for sitting out front while the kids tire them selves out riding bikes, scooters, playing ball, etc. This particular summer evening we decided to have a little picnic dinner out on the front lawn and enjoy the pretty weather. The boys had fun together riding bikes and pushing the lawn mower up and down the side walk. I just love watching these two play together. A fun family summer night.

These two boys love each other so much! Recently they have been having so much fun together. Sawyer absolutely loves Carter, and follows his foot steps where ever he goes. If carter hasn't woken up yet in the morning or if sawyer isn't with Carter, Sawyer will look all over the house, saying..."Arter Go?" And... when he sees "Arter" he gets the biggest smile and runs right up to him saying.."ARTER!" I just love seeing these two love each other and need each other. Pure Sweetness.

Face Painting

My Neighbor Linda was amazing and took so much of her time and her talents to make these little kiddos happy, and face paint their faces any way they wanted. The kids Loved it, and got 2-3 different face paints each. Thank you Linda for all you did to make Carter's party that much more fun!
