today was Sophia's first visit to the beach! we went with Alexander's preschool class on a field trip to Laguna Beach. Alex and Daddy learned about the tide pools and Sophia and Mommy relaxed at the beach! we all had a wonderful time.
zedonk place

story time
picking blueberries!
Today, we went to Underwood Family Farms in Somis with Abuelita, Grandpa, Rebecca and Tia Suzi to pick blueberries. We had such a fantabulous time. Alex and Rebecca got to pet the animals in the petting area and play in the play area. Thank you for a wonderful day.
best surprise ever!!
Today Alexander got one of the best surprises ever... an entire hour with a horse! (compliments of Grandma and Grandpa winning the silent auction item at the LPPP fundraiser.) Askja is an 18 year old Icelandic horse and has been with this owner for 13 of those years! She was the most gentle and docile horse we'd ever seen. Alexander had an amazing morning with Askja. He walked her to her grooming station, brushed her hair, cleaned her hooves, helped put on her saddle, walked her to the arena, and rode her several times around the arena.
Thank you so very much Grandma & Grandpa!
water fun!
for the birds
school
of fish!
mommy's day 2013
Life is wonderful! Thank you God for blessing me with the gift of motherhood.
Oh what a beautiful mornin'
Alexander asked for his rocking horse so he could be Curly with his cowboy hat riding his horse. Can you find the maverick winkin' his eye?
