Mother's Day in Laguna Beach

There isn't a day that goes by that i don't feel like the luckiest

woman in the world. God has blessed me with the most amazing

family. My husband, my soul mate and my best friend

and our 2 amazing children that bring me

so much joy every single day of my life.

I had the best Mother's day with my

husband and kids in Laguna Beach.
Brunch, strolling on the beach, chasing the waves,

and shopping at the candy baron for

the kiddos...what more could i ask for.

thank you family for such a wonderful day!

Creamy Crayons for Breakfast??

It was a perfect Saturday morning, we had all just finished

eating breakfast, the kids were still running around in their Pajama's

and I ran upstairs for 2 minutes to make a phone call...(this incident

happened on Brian's watch, not mine :)

the next thing i hear is Sophia running up the stairs

saying "mommy Noah got crayons all over his face

and his teeth are black too"

Poor Brian, within seconds of me zipping away Noah

got into his sisters creamy crayon arts and crafts and

went to town on his face & teeth!!!!!

Love you Noah...you always make us laugh!!

Easter at Mamika & Papika's House!!!

we tried so hard to get a family picture and a new

picture of the kids...but it didn't work out so great so this is what

we got instead...

coloring Easter eggs...

my dad is the "pro" when it comes to coloring Easter eggs.

He has all these tricks up his sleeves of

mixing colors and creating oil based color and blending colors...

it's so fun!

Sophia ran the show this year with my dad

it was so cute to see them coloring eggs together

Our silly monkey boy!
