We went to Santa Cruz for a beach day.

As our kids get older they can sit here and play their favorite lady bug game.  It's Vincent's favorite... and he got to be in charge of "the aphids" so he loved that. Seanie would randomly come in and run and jump on the game (maybe in a year he'll be playing too).. but maybe not :(

  
 Maggie got matching jammies for her and her baby from my Aunt Cookie. She loves them so much that I've washed them about 20 times. Soooo cute! She always finds the best gifts.

Bedtime with her new favorite book about dogs.  She loves dogs and is very interested in different breeds.  She can even recognize dogs as we drive by them.  Her three favorite dogs right now are bloodhounds, beagles and German Shepherds.  If she doesn't know the breed then we have to go up to the owner and discuss their dog.  They usually ask if she has a dog and she says "Yes, she is a mutt or mixed breed". Love it!!!!



Maggie is really into dogs right now so for her birthday she got to go to build a bear to "make" her own dog and we found an old shirt we had for Bailey (back when we loved her and took care of her) and decided to put it on her. She loved it so much she went into our room (where Sean is still sleeping). The kids know the rule that they may never go in and wake up daddy on a work day. But she was soooo excited she goes in and gets right in his face, "Daddy, daddy guess what? Bailey has a shirt on. Ha ha" Then she left.

I'm five today!

I get to write the number of kids in the class, my name and a shape on the board!

Surprisingly I was looking forward to Mag's all girl party. We did hair and nails.

We cut off the curls. Ill try and get an aftershot. He cried the whole time. His gummies were filled with hairs.

On Maggie's realy birthday we had to have her neighborhood "boyfriends" over for cake. It was a blast. Next year she decided that she wants to do a "spiderman and princess Party" so everyone could come over.  She even kept asking if boys could just come to her "nail and hair" girl party and just not get their nails done. I love how she wants to include everyone. :)
