MIA

 MIA

That pretty much, sums up my relationship with my blog over the past few months.  But I have been MIA with good cause.  After all ...  me and the husband had been living apart since January, I had a baby, sold a house, and moved across 3 states.  Not to mention, moved into a place that made camping seem a lot more appealing (and for those of you who really know me, know how much I absolutely love to camp).

Hannah finished Kindergarten, Olivia finished her 1st year of preschool, and Tyler is growing like a weed. As for me and Chiki ... we are taking our tasks one day at a time, until we finally feel like things are in order :)

Because of the closing date of the condo, the ladies were not able to quite finish their school year.  Liv's teachers were so sweet, and had her class put on a special performance of their graduation program.  I loved our personal performance.  Not only were all the kids looking at us, but also we didn't have to dodge the heads of all the tall people who always get to sit in the front row!

 As for Hannah, we was not so lucky, and missed her kindergarten graduation.  Her teacher was so sweet, and made sure we got all of Hannah's awards and books by the last day

In between the Colorado and California transition, we made a stop at my parents in Utah.  While there we had Ty blessed.

We all know that Chiki is somewhat of a clown.  So when he kept saying that he was going to have to wear his flip flops with his suit because he didn't know where his dress shoes were at.   None of us took him serious.   Needless to say .... we were all WRONG

This pretty  much sums up how we were all feeling over the next 2 weeks ha ha

Our second weekend out here, we ventured to the Strawberry Festival in Vista, with Mariann.   

Liv getting ready for the pie eating contest.  She took one bit and then wanted a fork
   
 Hannah rocked her age group.  She chowed down her pie, and almost won!

Whats a festival without face paintings??

Tyler is getting so big.  He is 3 months old, and weighs about 15 lbs.  He thinks he needs to be eating every waking minute, is a pro at holding up his head, exer-saucing, and sleeps a fabulous 12+ hours each night. We are absolutely loving, our chubby little man!

Hannah was so excited to have her friends Matti and Marcus come out for a visit.  Matti and Marcus are twins, and they were all great friends throughout this past school year.   We went to dinner with their family, and then they stole Hannah for the next 24 hours.  She was in absolute heaven, and really misses her friends :(


The other day, we decided to take a break from the house and headed to the beach.  We came home with sand filled booties, a very sunburned mommy and daddy (oops I guess we too need sun screen), and 3 tired kiddos who loved playing in the sand and water.

The ladies think it is hilarious to get buried.  I think they are crazy

Well, there you go, and now you know what we have been up to.  It is nice, now that things are starting to calm down and getting somewhat back to normal, and we can't wait to see what California throws our way!
