Micke Grove Zoo

Micke Grove Zoo has a Lorikeet exhibit where you can buy some nectar and feed the birds. We went with some friends and the boys LOVED doing this. We had to go back for more food, and if my pockets were deeper the boys would've gone back again, lol. It was so fun to watch them feed the birds!

Camping At Shasta w/ Hess's

In early May we were able to go camping at Lake Shasta with Kevin's parents and family from Oregon, and had a blast. Because of the distance between us, it is rare that we get to camp with them, so we had a wonderful weekend together. The weather was perfect, and the scenery was gorgeous. Elijah and Tyler had SUCH a fantastic time playing with their cousins Gracie, James, Johnathan, and Lillie, as well as with Ariana!! :)

Easter

Elijah got to do a HUGE Easter egg hunt at our church-- literally more eggs than he ever could have fit in his bucket! He had a blast... and the candy lasted forever!!! lol

Where Does Time Go???

Okay, it's is really sad that it has been 3 months since my last post. Where has the time gone??? Well, I'm going to try my hardest to catch this thing up... To be honest, it was very unmotivating for me for a while to get on here and post pictures, because they take soo long to load in, and I can only load 5 at a time... It is much easier to keep my facebook updated because I can load a whole bunch of pictures at once. However, I realize that there probably are a FEW people out there that still check this, so I will do my best to fill you in! First I'll post the rest of Tyler's 2nd Bday pics, even though this was from April 3!!!! ;)

Happy Birthday Tyler!!!

How is it possible that my baby boy is now 2 yrs old!?!? Time just flies by so quickly.. we had so much fun for his birthday. Saturday we rented an 18' inflatable slide, and invited some family and friends over for a BBQ. The kids had an absolute blast on the slide-- were on it from 7:30a.m. when it was dropped off (an hr and a half EARLY), until around 6:20p.m. when it was picked up (an hr and a half early!). :( That was the only bummer... but we did get our fill. Almost all of Kevin's family was here, including his parents from OR, along with Karl, Kody and Ariana, his Grandma Preszler from Oregon, and his brother & fam from Santa Barbara-- so that was a special treat. My parents were there of course, however we deeply missed my sister and her fam (can't wait to see them in June for Brayden's 1st bday!!!). Along with quite a few really good friends, the party was a success. I unfortunately did not get a lot of pictures due to being so busy with attending to things, but thankfully Kyle did with his camera, so those will be posted soon!! :)

Surprisingly, it fit quite well in our backyard!

1st Tyler sent down his "oof" (aka "dog")

and then here comes Tyler! :)

Elijah wore himself out on this thing!!

Apparently Elijah and Tyler were going down the slide with party decorations in tow ;)

Dillon Beach

So a couple weekends ago (yes, I am behind on my posts, AGAIN , but our computer died so for over a week I didn't even have the ACCESS to do it... also my energy is majorly decreased these days, as I am definitely feeling prego now... nausea and all!), we went to Dillon Beach. We had amazing weather. We were there from Sunday after church thru Tuesday, and Monday and Tuesday we were blessed with amazing sunshine ALL day! Monday was very windy, but Tuesday was perfect and calm. We had a great weekend, and it felt so good to finally get out and camp!!!
