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.

Ella's 2nd Birthday

This post is all about Ella Bella!! She just turned two on November 28th and she had a butterfly princess party. She had so much fun, and so did our dogs, Chloe and Cricket. (We had an unfortunate and sad incident with Zoey and she is with God now. Chloe is her sister and she is just as full of it as Zoey was) Ella had lots of friends and family at her party and she didn't mind being in the spotlight at all. She is my little princess. She got baby dolls, a pucci puppy and lots of cute outfits and jammies. She loves being a little mommy. Ahhhh.

My Babies

My babies are getting so big!!! Kaeden is well into his first year of big school, Kindergarten. He loves it and he even has homework!

Ella is becoming a beautiful young lady and she loves hats and headbands. I just love watching them grow. They are a joy, and a headache at times, and I feel very blessed to be their mom.

New Pets!!

We have 2 NEW PETS!! We just got a brand new border collie/mcnab puppy and we named her Zoey. She is a joy, and a handful. She is very tolerant of the kids, as you can see:)

We also just recieved a new pony. Kaeden named her Addie. She is a beautiful, calm, sweet pony that we can hardly believe is ours. Kaeden has been riding her daily and she seems to really like it here. We are going to get her a friend soon, probably a goat:) We are really taking advantage of our 10 acres.

We are also experiencing the tarantula migration through our area. They are pretty ugly, but they are not aggressive and they just make their way by and don't bother anyone or anything.
