The birthday Party

Saturday we had our family birthday party. We went to a park nearby in Temecula and the kids played as we all chatted and enjoyed ourselves.

The Birthday cake. Renee had a friend of hers make it for the kids and she did a fantastic job! One side was for Hollie and the other was for Ethan. The kiddos loved it.

Hollie got a bike for her birthday and took off riding with no problem.

Hanging out with my bestest friend EVER!

Amanda and Hollie. Oh, how I just love this picture. There are no words to describe it.

Beach

What is a trip to California if we don't go to the beach? Not fun! We LOVE the beach. That is one thing I wish Arizona had, but I still believe that one day we will. Haha.

We took a day and went down to La Jolla beach. Grandma Larson joined us and we had a blast. The day couldn't have been more perfect.

Love this picture of Ethan and the ocean. He is such a beach boy!

Grandma and the kids. Such a cute picture. The kids had a blast with grandma

We hiked down the cave at La Jolla. It was pretty neat. Gotta love Ethan and his finger...silly kid.

We did lots of walking and the kids favorite spots were on top of the shoulders. Ofcourse, you can see they just ate chocolate ice cream.

Birthday trip to Cali

Since March is such a special month in our family we decided to head to California to celebrate both Hollie and Ethan's birthday. The weekend was beautiful and we were very lucky to have our very best friend join us for the fun event, our birthmother.

For the first couple of days we stayed at our friends (pretty much family) house. We pulled the little quad out and the kids had a blast!
