a family invasion! auntie pam, hannah, and sarah come for a visit.

ok, so, we have been very busy lately. on saturday, we got a new air conditioner put in. dwayne cut a big hole in the wall, so here is grace standing in it!

on sunday night auntie pam (or as grace calls her, 'auntie ham'), hannah, and sarah came to visit. monday, we headed out to crescent bay for a day at the beach. unfortunately it was pretty overcast and a bit cold. we still had a ton of fun and the kids loved the water. one time grace, hannah, and sarah were playing by the water. they were trying to run away as the waves came in. well, a huge one came and took grace away. she lost her footing and went right down. she got tumbled around quite a bit before we got to her and she lost her hat to the ocean. we looked for a long time and couldn't find it. (it must run in our family to lose items of clothing to the ocean when you are little). after she got warmed up, she headed right back out.


right before we were about to leave we saw the marine rescue workers bringing some sea lions back to the ocean. it was very interesting and very smelly. well, we had a great time. after several hours, we headed home for a bbq.



on tuesday, we went to california adventure. that was a blast. hannah and sarah loved it. one of the first things we did was play on the brother bear treehouse. grace had tons of fun running around the treehouse.





we rode tons of rides, and hannah and sarah were big enough to ride the big rides. bryan took a videos of us (me, him, hannah, and sarah) on the maliboomer. sarah looks like her head is about to fall off... but she loved it. we rode rides until it closed.



wednesday we went to disneyland. bryan had to go to school, so it was just auntie pam, hannah, sarah, me, grace, and raegs. we still had fun. the day was very packed. we rode as many rides as we could, ate, rode some more, then sat to watch the parade. i think that was grace's favorite part. she kept saying.... 'look mommy, there's ariel'... or some other disney character. she loved it. when disneyland closed at 8, we headed to pam's hotel so we could swim for a bit. grace was having a blast. auntie pam was helping her learn to swim. grace has braved the underwater world. she now loves to be pushed under water and try to swim. she is becoming quite the little fish!



on thursday, pam, hannah, and sarah had to leave, so they came over to eat a pancake breakfast, then headed out. after they left, grace and i went to the la habra children's museum. grace had fun hanging out there with jaxson, nik, ashley, and kyle. i think grace's favorite part was performing with jaxson on the stage as they sang songs (in some language only known to them) and danced around.



today was our relax day. we are packing up and getting ready to head out to yucaipa for the memorial day weekend. we will be celebrating ryan's birthday tomorrow and having a bbq on monday! we can't wait!

ok, here is the latest of raegan learning to walk. she is getting much better. i think she will be walking before we know it. yikes!
