Hair day

Cameron was up early one morning, so I did her hair. This helped keep her quiet for the rest of the family and was quite fun.

5 months

Roland is 5 months old. He loves to jump. He is now eating rice cereal, has two teeth, and is rolling over both ways. Roland is truly a blessing and we can not imagine life without him and we can barely remember life before him.

Garden

We planted our Garden again. This time a little more organized. We labeled rocks the kids painted so we would know what we planted.

Janis' Wedding

I got to be in one of my dearest, and oldest friends wedding while in CA. We got pedicures and manicures and had a great time hanging out and getting ready for the big day.

Grandma

We visited my Grandma while we were in Ca. We do not get to see her that often and she is 86 years old. We had a nice time. Cameron did a show for her and Hewson explored a little (which is something I loved to do when I was little). Unfortunately we did not see my Grandpa, who is 95, He was still sleeping.

Visiting TN friends in CA

Some of our dearest friends moved from TN to CA. I know, this is very ironic. Gabe and Elisa moved over a year ago and had us over for an amazing brunch. Aimee and Jason moved a little over two months ago, and we also go to spend time with them. We miss you all very much. Thank you for a sweet, relaxing day. The kids also had fun playing with all of Amani's toys.

The Monk Mansion

My parents had a full house the week we were there. The kids were on spring break and so was my brother. My parents and sister, Brenda, also had a little time off. We went out to pizza, celebrated Easter again, went to the San Francisco Bay Aquarium, went out to eat for both Jeremys's birthdays, went to Kira's soccer class, had lots of meals together, and just played a lot. It was a great weak.

Vega's House

We all had a great time with our friends Tavo, Chanda, Dane, and Liam. They are all very hospitable and kind, making sure all our needs were met all the time. The kids went swimming in the hot tub, had stuffed animal wars, watched movies, played video games, and ate lots of good food.

Easter Pics

The kids colored Easter eggs with Auntie Jen and Andrew. They also got Easter baskets from Grandma and Grandpa and had an Easter egg hunt. The kids also showed their cousin the resurrection eggs (http://www.southernsavers.com/2010/03/archive-frugal-resurrection-eggs/). This is a fun way to do the Easter story with Easter Eggs.

Family time at the Cabin

We spent three days at Jeremy's parents cabin in Lake Aarrowhead with the whole family. We played games, ate lots of food, and took a walk around lake Gregory. We also spent Easter there.

Visits with friends

Friday morning we had a yummy breakfast at Mimi's with my good friend Davida (sorry no pics). I miss our long talks and just hanging out. She has always spoiled the kids and been like an aunt to them. She watched Hewson when I was giving birth to Cameron.

Then we went to Tamara's house. She is an old friend from work. She was one of my first office mates back in 2000, and we worked together for over six years. We were also pregnant twice together. She has a lovely family, an awesome backyard, and an amazing garden. It was so good to catch up and see her fam.

Hummer-Limo Trip

Jeremy's Brother, Dean, surprised us all by taking us out to dinner in a Hummer-Limo. We all had a blast, and the kids had their own section in the back. It was so nice to ride all together and talk, and nobody had to drive. There were 13 of us in all.
