Dancing at Seaport Village

The kids got into the music for a little bit - I thought the photos were too cute!

I heart Craigslist!

As you know, I just love craigslist, and this is my newest find! It's a pottery barn white linen oversized chair! They still had it wrapped from their move. It's in great condition, and it was only 75 dollars. I put it in our master bedroom, where I was wanting to put an oversized white chair. Gutsy with kids, but I love it!

The Crazy Hat Shoppe

We enjoyed a fun weekend with my sisters and mom - we went swimming in the morning, took a nap in the afternoon, and then went to Seaport Village! The kids rode the Carousel, saw a juggler with fire sticks, and we had lots of fun trying on all the crazy hats in the crazy hat shoppe!

4th of July

On the 4th of July we enjoyed spending time with Kevin and Marilyn's family, as well as taking a swim at the Hadad's in the afternoon. Tyler had no fear of the water, and loved being underwater and would even smile at you underwater! He loved jumping off the ledge into the water! He's definitely a water baby! Now time for those swimming lessons...

Our 10th Anniversary!

The morning of our anniversary I woke up to lots of roses- in the kitchen, the dining room table, and by the big screen TV. We can't believe how fast the time has flown! We got a babysitter for the kids and enjoyed the day at Glen Ivy swimming in their mineral pools and spas and then went to Corona for massages. It made for a great relaxing day!

Carter's End of School Awards

At Carter's end of the year assembly, he received two awards! One award was from the principal called the Principal's Award, and the other was a library award with a medal. We're really proud of Carter doing great job in school!

A "Carterism"

Carter to Brian: Why don't you call your dad by his name? (Paul)
Brian to Carter: Because he's my dad, so I call him dad
Carter to Brian: Well can I call you Brian?
Brian to Carter: No, you can call me Dad.
Carter: So does that mean you should call us all "kids?" (instead of Carter, Derek, Tyler)

Classic!

And just right now at the table Carter just asked me, "Mom, when you were a kid did you watch TV in black and white?"

Wow. I guess I really am getting old!
