Hearts Desire Beach

This Beach was soo perfect for the kids there were no waves to worry about crashing into them. They were able to explore and have some fun with Randa and Jazz. We even saw JellyFish...oh yeah that was great! If you have a kayak this is a great place to go...people had those and some small boats and it was just great! It's located in the Point Reyes National Seashore..This place is totally amazing...there is a few different beaches within park..It was an adventure just to get there....

First Day of Kindergarten.....

My Sweet Pea started kindergarten July 18th and she was so excited I on the other hand was totally in shock it seemed like just yesterday I was praying and asking the Lord for a little blessing!! The Lord blessed us with our little Mia six years later. And here we are today five years old and startin school....Next it's prom right!


Well she has done very well...with that being said Mia will be coming home to be homeschooled by me!! God Bless us all...I don't understand it but God does and well I will obey and stand aside and see the blessings that he has for all of us as we start this Journey...So stay tune for "First day of Kindergarten Part II"...lol

My Son!!

What can I say about this except this is sooo Evan!!!

Small World Park

I am trying to catch up and I am realizing that I don't even remember going
to some of these places...wow my mind is going, going gone!!!

This was at Small World Park located in Pitsburg this place is great
because it is sooo cheap!! There is only like two rides and rest of it is park
area that they get to run around and be crazy!Which is exactly what my kids like
to do!

Nighttime dip in the pool!

This was soo much fun who knew swimming in the pool at night would
be this much fun!

Dress for my Sweet Pea

My friend Leslie made Mia this beautiful dress well she has loved
wearing it
and I love it because it is soo sweet looking!! Thank you Leslie for
such a
sweet gift for my sweet pea!

Swimming Lessons

The kids took Swimming lessons with Mrs. Jones...she came highly recommended
and so we went for it! By the third day Evan was swimming soo well and at
home
he was swimming accross the pool! I couldn't believe it he hs such
determination
it blows me away! Mia did very well also, she held her breath
beautifully and
the sweet but stirn ways of Mrs. Jones helped her to really
get comfortable in
the water. Mia being the cautious one wanted to stay to
the side of the pool
while Evan wanted to just dive for toys and jump off
the diving board.....four
weeks later we had ourselves swimmers. We prayed
that Mia would grow more
comfortable in the water she had such a fear that
we knew to let it go and she
will do it in her own time...The blessing to it
all is that we have the pool at
home so we are able to practice everyday!!
and believe me they did!!

We Moved!

We moved in June and our new home has a beautiful
sparkling pool!!! The
lanlords are two amazing people and I Love them! So
here is a couple of
pictures
of the most precious gifts given to me here
on this earth!! Before
we were even
all moved in my kids were in that
pool!! Next I will tell you
all about our
amazing swimming
lessons!!
