Someone LOVES to Read


While on vacation at Warner Springs Ranch, Seth was able to sneak in a little reading time. His current favorite is the Percy Jackson series!

More from Warner Springs Ranch






Seth spotted a Native American grinding bowl hidden in the rocks.

We started our hike up a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail.

Seth and I at the bottom of the trail.

Ethan was eager to find reason to use his Leatherman tool.

Seth rock climbed as we took a break at the top of the hill.

Warner Springs Ranch

While visiting Warner Springs Ranch over Spring Break, we had a couple of great pool days. The boys had a blast swimming in the cold pool followed by dunks in the mineral pool.


Emmy sucked her lip into a mini gatorade bottle and scared us until we figured out what happened...

Awwwww...my poor girl!
Lesson learned...

Girls' Day!




Emmy and I had a day of mani/pedis and some shopping.
She chose "rainbow" nails, and was exhausted by the end of the day!

Bowing with Friends





These pictures didn't turn out very good, but it was such a fun night that I wanted to document it anyway!

Ethan's Open House

Ethan was so excited about this year's Open House. The night started with the kiddos singing. Here, Ethan is talking with his buddy Quinn as Mrs. Rodriguez gets ready to lead the songs.


Ethan and his teacher!


Ethan was proud of his journal and he read to the family. Emmy leaned in close to listen.


Ethan wrote a great report about parrots. This is his gorgeous oil pastel picture.



We had a great time at Ethan's Open House. He showed off his school, classroom, desk and teacher. First grade has been a great year for Ethan!
