Summer is in full swing and we are having a blast and trying to work hard too. Seems like we have done a bajillion things since I last blogged but the need to document it all is calling me soo.....

-We went to an awesome Swazzle puppet show, the kids loved the story "Dream Carver" now they want to buy the book. The same day we signed up for the library's summer reading programs. The kids have been busy filling out their game cards and racing each other to earn new books.

-We've been privy to some info about where a golden eagle is nested in with some babies. We've been off to spy on the action but have not had luck catching the mom in her nest. We'll keep trying.


-We were so happy to find out Breckyn's arm is healing so well she was able to get her cast off early. However, she is not allowed to run, jump, ride bikes, play on the playground or do ANYTHING where she could possibly fall and bump the injured arm... (YEAH RIGHT!) Breckyn is not my sit-still kind of girl. Here's to hoping she can keep it safe and in three weeks be good to go. She does get to swim and best of all, finally wash that stinky arm!



-We started our summer movies and I love not having to move for an hour or two! Kyra has her dance recital next week so we are in the midst of run-throughs, rehearsals and last minute costume alterations!


-Here is our list. This will help give us some focus and direction for those long summer days. We actually have thought of more things to do since we made our list. Cherry picking, blueberry picking are planned for next week and Ryder reeeeally wants to go to the race car museum he learned about in Riverside. There are several things on our list I really don't think will happen, but I'm excited about most of it!


-I grabbed the girls and went to Disneyland one last time until fall. It was way too busy but we had fun anyway and stayed until I was barely staying awake! We wanted to go on the new Ariel attraction but the line was ginormous so we skipped it. We did however have fantastic spots to watch the new parade and we loved it. I took lots of pictures. Disneyland definitely knows how to entertain. We only met the princesses once a loooooong time ago because the lines are usually so long but this time we happened upon them at the end of the day and no one was around so we stopped for a chat. The girls always get so starstruck, its funny.
