Newport Beach May 16th, 2009

May 16th, we decided a family trip was way overdue, so we made a last minute decision, got a cheap hotel on priceline.com and headed to Newport beach, CA. The weather was perfect as you can see in the pictures. We stayed in the Crowne Plaza Resort in Irvine, CA. It had a fun indoor pool. Unforunately, no Cont. Breakfast, which was advertised that there was one on Priceline. We were able to go with Grandpa Innes, and Aunts Leisel, Jill, Ty and uncle Lamar and his cute wife Chelsea. Grandma Innes was gone on her sisters retreat. We missed her!! The girls had fun gettting some new matching glasses on the boardwalk. WE LOVE Cali. Love it. The pictures explain how much fun we had.

Savannah Kindergarten and Aubrey Preschool Graduation!

May was a crazy month the end of school events and summer approaching. Savannah graduated from Kindergarten on June 6th and had an awesome ceremony. It was cute, but probably a little overboard for only graduating from Kindegarten. She got to wear a cap and gown, and receive a diploma. It was pretty official. Aubrey also graduated from Preschool on May and had a fun informal party at the Villages Splash Pad to celebrate. She made a t-shirt with all the kids handprints and signature on the shirt. Thanks to Andrea Smith for getting that all organized!

Savannah's class already to go

Happy Aubrey!

IS she alive?

So, I'm a slacker! Life in the summer with 4 kids home all day, plus going to school full time has taken up all my time! Hence, the lack of posts to my blog. But do not fear, I will be back....soon! As soon as my kids go back to school......A new post will be coming soon!

Photographer?

I'm looking for a great affordable photographer that can take some fun pics of my 4 kids. I live in Maricopa, Az. Any suggestions? If not, my other option is to go to a studio. I need some help! My kids are growing up too fast!!!Thanks in advance!

Music Makers April 25th

Malin and Aubrey had their final Music Makers performance. They where so cute and did their solos so well. This was Malin's first performance and we was smiling from ear to ear the entire time.

Grandma Nelson's House April 24th

Malin's brother Nelson and his wife Kelsey and 2, almost three, kids are living with Grandma Nelson in Phoenix. We took a little trip to visit them and help grandma pick her orange tree. The kids had a ball climbing her fruit trees and playing with cousin Carson. Malin especially loves playing with his fun boy cousins. I can't believe how much I love my family.

Boys!!! Love em!

Buds for life. I'm excited to see these boys grow up together.

Um, fun.......

Malin William Lewis in Timeout.

Baby Malin misbehaved so we put him in timeout. First time in timeout. He quickly obeyed. We told him to close his eyes, he did. We told him to bow his head, he did. We told him to count to five, he tried. We HAD to get a picture. It was just too cute.CLARIFICATION UPDATE 5/10: Baby Malin is such a good kid. I don't want anyone to think bad of my sweet little Malin. It was just SO cute that he obeyed everything I told him to do. I need to post another video of his spunkiness. He IS SO SPUNKY. AHH! And just for the record, he has a hard time obeying when I ask him to go in timeout now. He's learning it's not a very fun place to be. The first time was fun, but not anymore.
