Kauai. Hmmm. I can't seem to get any photos to upload. The browse button doesn't show up at all. Any ideas?

Kaeden's sixth birthday party

Kaeden had a Star Wars birthday party for his sixth birthday. He had lots of friends and family at his party that made it so special. It was a beautiful afternoon and a fun party!

Riding Lessons

Kaeden has been taking riding lessons for a couple of months now and is learning to be more comfortable in the saddle. He rides at a stables near our house and he's learning on this pony, Cowboy. Cowboy bucked him off once, but he got right back on and tried again. He's learning to pick the feet, groom, and how to "kick and cluck." He got his first pair of riding boots last week. He is getting to be so grown up.

My babies on EASTER!!! I can't help myself. My favorite thing to do is to find coordinating outfits for them. Not always easy to do, but I love the challenge. Aren't they sweet?

It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed our morning with just our family and then Rick's fam came over for lunch and a little horseback riding. We all really enjoyed the sun and when that went down, we had a fire in our outdoor firepit. We laughed and told stories around our little circle. It was so fun.

t-ball

Kaeden loves his t-ball team, the Templeton Eagles! It's so cute. They are the sweetest little kids out there on the field. :)

Our family posing for a flyer to send out to all of Rick's new clients. We thought it would be nice to tell them a little bit about us. If Ella would have smiled, it would have been perfect. Oh well, it's nearly impossible to achieve a family picture where everyone is looking and smiling at the camera :).
Rick's business has been blessed. We have made a very smooth transition back to San Luis and the horse community. We are so grateful.

We've certainly been busy since Christmas vacation ended. Kaeden and I went to see Annie, the musical, at the Cal Poly performing arts center in January (first picture). We also made a trip up to visit our family in Humboldt County. While we were there, we went to the zoo and the kids loved the petting farm the most. We are really enjoying our family and friends. Kaeden is still loving school and Ella is very much our little girl with her new loves of Tinkerbell, princesses, and all little critters.
