first grade graduation

So I was downloading pictures from my camera to my computer & I found these!  I totally forgot to blog about Carter's 1st grade "graduation" & pictures from his last day!  Can't believe in 1 week he will be a second grader & starting a new school!!
 
Waiting his turn to go in front of the class.  Love that little smirk! 
 The kids went up in groups & read a story to us.
 My handsome boy!
 A & B's good job Carter!  So proud of him but not looking forward to the homework fight in a week..!
 Carter & Miss Metz (loved her!)
 BFF's... Johnny & Carter!
 Silly kids!
 Carter with all the Mia's! Mia V, Mia D, & Mia O.
 Phillip, Dawnelle, & Carter getting goofy!
 LOVE these two!!
 Johnny, Savannah, Miss Metz, & Carter on the last day!  Pretty sure she was wearing her sunglasses to hide her tears! :-(
 Happy to get outta there!
 Wait....no he's not cause now he has to be home ALL day with his mom & sister!

disney on ice

Back in April, yes I know I'm a slacker, we went to Disney on Ice.  It was a lot better than I thought it would be.   Even though the people next to us & behind us were all up in our space, & the over priced souvenirs, we had a blast!  We will definitely go again!
 
Queen of Hearts 
 Tink!
 Lion King
 Aladdin
 Aladdin & Jasmine
 Ariel!
 Mickey & Minnie!  (Scarlet kept saying hi to them, it was so cute!)
 The End
 Best pic I got of them
 Wasn't really any photo ops that you didn't have to pay for, so this will do!

spring break/easter 2013

My brother rented a house in Balboa for spring break.  It had 3 rooms so my parents & the kids & I drove down & took advantage! :-)  So grateful that we were able to go down & have so much fun!!  Well it didn't start out too fun.....the first night Scarlet threw up & continued to all night, so I was on the couch with her.  After resting for a day we were ready for Balboa island, 2 days at Disneyland, the beach, lots of eating out, spending time together & Easter!!  Thanks again Grant & thanks to my parents & my sister Emily for helping with the kids!  Can't wait to do it again!  Warning LOTS of pictures cause it was a great trip!
 
 
 Marissa, Carter, & Katelyn so excited to take the ferry to the island.

Easter morning we got up, saw what the Easter bunny brought, then we had to get ready to go home! :-(  We had a scavenger hunt for eggs the day before.  Happy boy with his basket!
 Happy girl with her matching basket but pink of course!
 After we were all ready we took some pictures.  Had to show that we had Easter by the beach since I don't think it will happen again... This is my kids for you, Carter is over it & Scarlet is just cute!
 There's a smile....sort of!
 The cute little beach house with the red door!
 Future heart breaker!!
