Love these moments

One day they are no longer going to beg to share a bed at night [tear]

First Grade!

Gavin started school yesterday. I still can't believe kindergarten is and now he is starting 1st grade. Everything is so different too. They play with the rest of the school and instead of dropping him off at his classroom, he lines up on the blacktop when the bell rings and they walk with their teacher to class. My jaw dropped when she told me that, but Mrs. Guerrero (teacher) said it was ok for us to wait with him in line. Thank goodness. Gav enjoyed being on the bigger playground too!

Homemade Coasters

Fun and great diy gift or for the home. I made these coasters as part of Darcie and Eddie's wedding gift. Super easy to do but you must give yourself a few days to complete do to drying time. Going to make more for us and then as a favor for a Send off wedding party!

I printed the pictures on regular paper and glued the pictures on tile (0.16 at Home Depot) with mod podge. After it dries, add 3 layers of mod podge but let each layer dry before the next is applied. Use a sponge applicator because mod podge does show lines. I sealed the coasters with 2 layers of ultra cover clear sealer (this one is water based) but you can use acrylic clear sealer as well (which I would have chosen but Home Depot was out). Must do project with fabric, drawings, anything

Shark Week

There are few things that we love and cannot miss!!! Shark week starting August 12
It has become a tradition. CHUMSICLE! =)

Bocce Ball

One of Boom's favorite games. He learned to play bocce ball in Colorado in the snow and hasn't stopped talking about it :) It is now becoming our summer fun!
Austen quickly quit the game to play with Lucy and then left for candy.

Lazy Dog Cafe, Huntington Beach

Great place to eat. Kids make licorice and fruit loop dog collars while they wait for dinner and then eat it for dessert!
