The Zoo with Hanna

Look how cute you are!
Hanna really had a good time at this new play structure.
She kept crawling up the slide as far as she could go and then climb down to start over again.
We had such a nice day together at the zoo. We saw lots of animals, rode the skyfari, played at the new children's zoo playground and had ice-cream. Hanna was perfectly happy seeing all the animals and just looking at things. She is such a wonderful baby!

Cali....Queen for a Day!!!

Cali was queen for a day in her class. She got to wear this crown all day and be spotlighted in class. She answered a few questions like "I want to be a Mermaid", "I love princesses", "I really want a dog." and "I'm scared of Sea Monsters". It was a fun day for her that she will remember for awhile.

Crazy, cool kids




This was a fun day at the beach! The kids rode their scooters, bikes and played at the playground. Then we ate at Taco Surf (KC's most favorite spot in the world). The kids were having too much fun with my camera in the backseat. Gotta love kids!!!

Sea World, Hanna and Me

Today, Sept 9th, Hanna and I went to Sea World with some friends. We saw a few exhibits and then just let the kids play in the "Bay of Play". Hanna is a NUT about Elmo so when he came walking around getting ready to take pictures, Hanna went crazy. We followed Elmo to his picture spot and Hanna and I took a picture. As you can see though, she really just wanted to play with them. She really was smiling and laughing most of the time but of course as soon as the camera got her, she crawled away. Too funny!

Cali and her dogs


This picture is such a "Cali classic". She would do just about anything to have a dog and since we live in an "apartment" (condo) I just don't think I'm ready for that. So, to make up for her loss she collects stuffed dogs and plays with them alot. This picture is of her dogs at the pet store where we were allowed to go and buy the dogs. She was very proud of her display and care for the dogs.

Cali is so cute and I know that when she finally gets a dog she will be a wonderful helper.

Nighttime Zoo



We sure had fun at the zoo!! We mainly went to see the new elephant exhibit so that is what all the pictures are from. The kids were having too much fun with all the statues (KC included in the "kids"). The animals are usually more active at night due to the heat during the day so it is fun to see them moving around and doing stuff. Going to the zoo at night is a must in San Diego.

A Finished Product



Well, as some of you may know, I love to sew. However, with the demands of being mommy, mommy, mommy.....I don't get to very often. Luckily for me a friend started a sewing group and I am able to go every other week to her house and sew with friends and get my projects done. Mom bought me this kit before Hanna was born and I had every intention of finishing it before she got here but that did not happen. However, a year later it is complete and super cute. She does not seem to be all that excited about it right now but I'm sure she will grow to love it...right??? Seth and Cali seemed to like it. :)

Karate Seth June 2009





Seth has been taking karate now for 2 years and he loves it. He just advanced to purple belt this summer and he couldn't be more proud. It is so cute to see him so confident about something. He takes the classes through the Santee Rec Center and they do a great job with the kids. We have been very happy with his progress.

Keep up the good work Seth. We are so proud of you!
