Our Weekend....

I would love to tell you that we have been laying around doing a whole lot of nothing but alas that is not the case.
(Parental disclaimer: while I understand that allowing my child to climb a tree and swing from her knees over many rocks looks negligent, I assure you this is perfectly safe. Well sort of safe. Pretty safe. Oh heck, who am I kidding, it's a bad idea)


We have been trying to stop and enjoy the little things as we get through our school day. Pet therapy is part of what keeps us sane.

Big ol' wet snuggles from a big ol' gentle giant....


Being busy is an understatement. Ryanne's bike club rode from Yucaipa to Huntington Beach this past Saturday. A few of us moms met them at In N Out in Corona and let the other kids off who wanted to do the last 40 miles.

Dennis and his son Cameron....it's a total family thing this bike club of ours.

Dan convinced Morgan to ride with him since it's her last Saturday of freedom before Nutcracker rehearsals start..

Daddy's girls.....

Ethan giving Morgan a pep talk...

The finish line...."Hi Mom! I made it!"

Ryanne is contemplating why she does this for fun...ha!

After they all got to the beach the kids changed and took of on boogie boards....




Our friends baby Alyna...she's 7 months old...

It was her first time at the beach...

She's super easy to love and photograph because hellooo look at that face!!


You would think that after my husband got up at 5am to ride 100 miles I would let him sit on the beach and rest right?

Ummm...have you met me?

I just want to love him ha!




Morgan and Selah....

They are also part of a trio for their performing dance group....

We had a big bon fire and made dinner....

It was great fun and fellowship....

Car Show...

Morgan got selected to be part of a trio for this years dance competition season....I played with my camera settings and took a few pictures in front of one of the old cars. To say it was hot would be an understatement. More like peel the flesh off your face heat...ha! The girls were troopers in their hot tights and make up though...


This past weekend they got to show off the dance they have been working on by dancing at a classic car show. Their costumes did not make it in time so we scrambled and luckily some old costumes from last year worked out. Whew! They did a great job and had fun so it was all good.

We look forward to a fun and busy dance season. The three girls all get along great and so it should be lots of fun.
Morgan also just tried out for a spot in the Nutcracker and got her first solo as the ballerina doll. Should be exciting...now I just need to make sure I take my vitamins so I can keep up with her these next few months with all her extra practices ha!
