Part 2 of Harvest Activities

Handing out candy at home after trick or treatingFun times at Church

Chris on the bucking bronco

Ashley decided that a farmer girl was a much better choice for riding the rides and slides at the harvest carnival. It is hard to climb when one has a mermaid tail.

Harvest Celebrations Part One

On saturday we took the girls to the local shopping center for some safe and fun trick or treating!! WOW lots of candy filled their bags. After that we headed down to Sea World for their treat or treating event. LOTS more candy!!! Tonight we hit our church for the Harvest Fair. Now we are off to carve our pumpkin.

dollar dress ups

This idea was from a Susie post

I used dollar cards and dressed them up!

It was lots of creative fun!!!

The lighting was horrible when I took the pictures but I loved the color combination.

I have had these cards for at least 1 year and never knew what to do with them.

Thanks Susie!

Still Here, Just Resting

As the school/work year is coming to an end I am finding myself very busy and exhausted. I am ready for lazy summer mornings and the easy days at the beach. But until then, there is still homework to check, bedtimes to keep and lunches to pack (YUCK)!

So I have not posted for awhile because I am just too tired and my camera has been taking a rest.

Mother's Day Adventures

After a nice lunch at Islands we headed to Torrey Pines and had a nice hike and enjoyed the beautiful views.

Happy Easter

Santa Barbara and Channel Island Trip

While my mom visited we spent the weekend in Ventura County. We took a boat from Oxnard to the smallest of the channel Islands...Anacapa!! It was beautiful.

This is mom and I on the beach by the Ventura Pier

The seagulls were in abundance on the Island and the flowers were in full bloom.

My camera battery died halfway through our exploration of the Island but on the way back to the mainland we saw 100's of dolphins
