He gave Cole his Angel's hat
Amazing day at Firestone Winery
We stopped at a second winery...Zaca Mesa. So beautiful
Love the drive to the winery
We went out to dinner in Orcutt. I love this view...hard to take as a selfie
Park next to Allen's elementary school
Nothing better than Dad pushing you on the swings
Allen's favorite Mexican restaurant closed a few years ago. We noticed it was open under new management. Stopped in for yummy food.
Fun with chalk...Grandma is always finding fun things to do
Love pictures of sleeping kids
Every morning the kids got up and had breakfast with Grandma and Grandpa.
Made her own little fort to read and play
Park fun again
Waiting for our table for dinner
Dogs searching for treats under Allen's chair
Allen's Grandma Ruth used to take Allen to the Madonna Inn all the time. Bob and Sherron had never been. Fun to look around and a great lunch
Nana was watching our cats while we were gone...having fun or fighting?
Make a wish
Fun at the Madonna Inn
Madonna Inn is know for their desserts. So good.

Lunch at the airport before we left
Flying home
Asleep in the car on the way home..Tired kids
The kids wanted to play a prank on Daddy. Do we printed out a picture of him and they colored it funny, wrapped it up and gave it to him as a gift.
Alexis was "The Bear of the Week" They get to keep the bear on their desk all week.
We took the kids to a Mariner's Baseball game. Ferry ride there
We made it to the park
Great seats. Our elementary school got a block of tickets. Due to the contract negotiations between the owners and players our date became Opening Night.
Aunt Danielle met us for the game
Had to take a late ferry home. Thankfully Cole fell asleep
Coloring Easter Eggs
Easter Morning...6:30am
After the easter egg hunt and finding baskets...Daddy and Mommy went back to bed.
After church Nana and Aunt Danielle came over. Only took one picture:)
Cole decided to direct how we painted a picture of a bunny. He was a funny and strict teacher. Not very encouraging:)
First Graders get a change to read in front of their parents and some classmates. Alexis did amazing

Our fun purchases from JBF
The cats are really good sports
Alexis and Cole wanted to try out this experiment with Skittles
I lead the effort to organize the annual plant sale with our elementary school. Allen helped me put up the banners.
Spring pictures
I just love this picture. It is at the top of our stairs and they all kicked off their shoes to go play in the house. Cole still puts on his shoes on the wrong feet...just precious.
Waiting for the bus. Alexis colored in this hat she purchased. She is so creative.
Plant Sale. This local nursery is so beautiful
We had a food truck...Yummy
