Our 4th of July

Our 4th of July was nice and quite we BBQ'd with family and then we did fireworks at my parent's house. Every year we have the opportunity to work at the CHP firework stand in Oceano, Lil Ed loves taking the orders and bagging them up. This year was very exciting for Lil Ed because he got invited to the biggest 4th of July party in 5 cities at the Hayashi's. He enjoyed his time with his good friend Clay and Kyle and lit all his fireworks.

More fireworks!Ed ready to light more.
Doug and Daddy telling us to be very careful I'm sure.

More Children's Museum

Diego loved the books and puzzles in the toddler room.
Here are my future figherfighter boys.
Outside of the museum their is a spinny chair. Here is Grandpa LeRoy spinning Ed like crazy and he never felt sick. The kids watching were amazed that Lil Ed could spin so fast and not got sick and so was I.

Rock Band and our Children's Musuem Visit

What a nice gift we received from Tia Jackie and Melody-ROCK BAND! Lil Ed rocks at the drums and daddy plays guitar and mommy sings! Luckily we don't have neighbors close by because we are still learning! Thank you Tia Jackie and Melody!
Grandpa LeRoy and Grandma Lee treated me and the boys to the NEW San Luis Children's Museum. Diego had a blast as Lil Ed was a little reserved!
Smile Ed
Diego loved the squishy floor and enjoyed all the different climbing obstacles they had for babies.

So blessed I am........................

Last night as I was going to sleep and this morning as I awoke I was thinking how blessed I am to have such a wonderful husband and I wanted to share. Eddie has come so far in this last year and a half and is an amazing father and husband. How lucky I am to have a husband that takes care of his family and makes it a point that we find the Lord. So blessed I am to have a husband that each night and day cares for our children, cooks our meals, cleans the house and especially goes above and beyond with caring for Diego. So blessed I am to have a husband that gives me constant support both mentally and physically who makes my meals and counts my points who guides me the right way! So patient Eddie is with me and my complaining especially when we are walking 6 miles and it's hot and he continues to make sure we all enjoy our time together. So lucky I am to have a husband that I can trust with our children. So lucky I am Eddie to have you the sober you, the loving you. I always knew you were my soul mate that somebody special that best freind! I love you babe and I thank you for being YOU the patient YOU! I love you for all you do for our family not because you have to but because that's just YOU!

8 Months Old

The other morning Lil Ed came running in to show me how his Bro was sleeping so we took a picture!
This is one of Diego's favorite things to do read books- he even flips thru the pages. Thanks to Big Bro he gets to listen to lots of stories.
The other morning Big Ed woke me up very early to show me the deer right out our door. By the time we got the camera it was off but we got the tail end :)

Dad thinks it is so cute to feed Diego especially yummy cookies but of course it's the day after I mop the ENTIRE house :P

Lil Ed's 3rd grade show

Lil Ed's 3rd grade class had an awesome performance the last week of school. Lil Ed even had a speaking part and did great. Grams and Gramps were able to attend and Diego loved hearing all the kids sing.
Eddie looks very serious in this picture because the whole class did a song in sigh language it was absolutely amazing.

We are so proud of Ed and his accomplishments. His report card was great and his reading has come so far he earned a 3+.

Now onto the 4th grade!

Tide Pool Field Trip

Me and Big Ed had the privilege to chaperon a group from Ed's class to the Tide Pools. The kids had learned about the living life and different tides so we were out and searching for all the creatures and had a blast!
Big Ed being the crazy one got pretty close to the ocean sea.
We got to visit the Marine Institue in Avila Beach and got to touch different animals up close. Here Lil Ed is touching the "Spider Crab".
Ahh how cute....................
