Floaties.

We went over to our friend's community pool today.  Three Mommies and six girlies...We were not prepared for the kiddie pool being closed.....but it turned out to be a huge blessing in disguise.  The little girls played on the steps of the big pool..and the big girls got to play freely in their floaties.   My girls had never used floaties and they were afraid of big pools.....but not anymore!  They didn't want to get out of the water! In fact, they've been asking me all day when they can go back! ;)

Biggest Sister with her swimming buddy who was a huge encouragement!

This one took off on her own and didn't need Mommy by her side anymore.

So thankful that the girls can now swim in other pools beside the kiddie ones. 

So thankful for blessings in disguise! 

Moving Day.

We helped some of our very good friends move into their new home today!

The men did the moving.

The women did the catching up. 

The kids did the costume parade. ;) 

And while we were in San Diego, we also visited one of our FAVORITE places/ people to visit!!!

What a FUN day!!

Egg Hunt.

We live in a neat community that organizes fun events for the many children that live in our neighborhood. This past weekend, they had an Easter Egg Hunt...which I'm not a huge fan of, but Biggest Sister always remembers her first Easter Egg Hunt that she participated in and looks forward to it every year.  We were not planning to go to one this year, but we ended up going with our wonderful neighbors and the girls really enjoyed it.  They loved the hunt (even though it only lasted less than 5 minutes, and they had a limit of how many eggs they can put in their baskets) but they especially loved spending time with our neighbor/friend's kids.. Such sweet kids...I hope they will be friends for a long time.

New Year.

There is no better way to welcome the new year with great friends, great food and great conversations!!

We had a wonderful... sushi-making, acorn-picking, mariokart-racing, birdhouse-coloring, bone-fetching, chocolate-dipping, stair-climbing, photo-taking, new year-celebrating weekend!! :)

My Dear Friend.

My dear friend (who is 7 months pregnant) and her family are visiting from Tennessee for Thanksgiving...

Her and her little guy came over the other day.

Can you tell my girls LOVE her?! 

They just can't get enough of her. :)

Four little doctors checking on my friend and the baby in her tummy.

 

 After the doctor's visit, she saw the hairstylist...

Littlest sister stayed right by her side.. :)

Neighbors

The two princesses, cheerleader and the football player (our sweet neighbors) visited a few homes in our neighborhood with their candy bags last night.  Fun memories and a great time of fellowship (and a great way to meet new neighbors)!
