Memorial Day.

We headed down to the pier in Manhattan Beach.

She caught a fish!

We stopped off at the creamery for treats.

The Weekend.

We headed down to Oceanside for cousin Briana's baptism.

Then we headed home to help my sister Clarice get ready for Prom. 

She is a junior, and got asked by a senior. 

None of her junior friends were going. :(

Getting advice from Kyle.

Hanging Out

A little morning drink while gardening.

Brothers

Little Buddies.

James gets blessed at Church.

James got blessed at Church this morning.

Steve's mom is great! She makes all the kids twin sized blankets with their names on them when they are born. James is sitting on his. I also asked her to make James a white blessing blanket to take to church which I just love.

We love that his little cheeks are getting chubby.

I picked these little booties up in Venice, Italy  when I was pregnant with Evan. Good times!

Today was also cousin Briana's 8th birthday so Nana brought cake with little hidden treasures in each slice. 

Snails

We were doing some weeding and he wanted to collect all the snails we found. 

A Hummingbird Moves in

Captured some video of our neighbor the hummingbird.

Backwards Day

Evan loves to dress himself. He wants to wear his pants backwards... and his shirts backwards and inside out.  It makes for some interesting conversations when out in public. And he loves his rain boots.... wears them every single day. 

Evan about the same age in 2012

James

Evan wanted to show James his train set.

We have looked at this Lego magazine too many times!

Real life with a little boy.

Picked her up one of those new adult coloring books so she would leave mine alone. She can color for hours on end.

Steve gets home around 11 at night. He wants to come home and play with James.... sometimes right after I have gotten him to go to sleep.

It's just the three of them and me. Steve is super busy at work . They told him this week everyone has to start working Saturdays too. For the next few weeks they want everyone working 7 days a week. Honestly, with their long hours working so much I am not sure how anyone can be productive.

Sometimes the middle of the night is the only time James gets to see Steve.
