Springtime Fun

March 2015

Kindergarten cuties!  All the Taft Elementary kindergartners went on a walking field trip all around downtown Riverside.
We got to visit the art museum, natural history museum, a dance studio, fire station, and the mayor's office!  We even got to meet the Riverside mayor, Rusty Bailey.  I was so lucky to be a chaperone and this was my little group of girls!  

My favorite little kindergartner! So incredibly blessed to be able to chaperone field trips for her!

They wanted to sit in the fancy chair at the Old Spaghetti Factory

Cousin Elijah Lane took a road trip to California with his friends.
We met up for dinner with him and his friends from Oklahoma

Two beautiful ballerinas at dance class:  Best friends Elyse Jergensen and Lorelai Lane

After dance class on St Patrick's day called for Shamrock shakes!

Saying Goodbye to Sugarland

January 2015

packing boxes and the girls are getting into all kinds of things!  the original super hero cape: a pillow case 

 I took them to the dollar store so they could spend their money they earned.  I love that they picked out fans! 

Cheyenne and Lorela saying goodbye to our sweet friends from Sugarland.
We will love and miss you Ninoshka, Cheyenne and Charlotte!

Our favorite spot to grab dinner in Sugarland was at the town square at a place called Lasagna house
It was a cute little Italian restaurant where we became regulars!  The last night we were in Sugarland
we ate here!  I had to take a picture to capture the moment and Gwen's face was hilarious!  

Getting ready to leave Sugarland!  It was good to us!  We will miss our friends, house, neighbors
and even though we were here a very short time, Sugarland will always have a special
place in my heart.  The beautiful trees, the amazing houses and master planned city made out
of brick was so classy.  Such a beautiful place (a little too much rain) but other than that it
was wonderful!

San Antonio Sister Sleepover

December 2014

Our friends from San Antonio were going on a cruise out of Galveston and so they came out a day early so they could stay with us!  It was so fun to see their San Antonio sisters and for us to catch up with our friends we had moved away from a few months earlier, the Gregory family!  So we partied Chuck E Cheese and Chik Fil A

reunited!  Gwen and Lauren were both 3 (almost 4) and Lorelai and Samantha were 5 (turning 6 in a few months)

Katelyn is a year older than Lorelai and Sam!  So fun with all these girls

Kinder Holiday Party

December 2014

Lorelai's last day of school in Texas before we moved back to California.  The last day of school before winter break they had a holiday party in their cute Kinder class.  Since we were moving back to California this would be the last time she saw all her classmates and teacher.  We loved her class!

Frozen Meet and Greet

Learning Express in San Antonio had a meet and green with the characters from Disney's Frozen.  The girls were so excited to meet Anna and Elsa!  Of course Lorelai wore her Elsa dress and Gwen wore her Anna dress.  Such a fun morning with our friends, the Gregorys.
