This year, instead of our usual 'noon years' celebration, our neighborhood had a little mini block party...we counted down to 7 and played around outside for a few hours, snacking and hanging out with our friends. the kids had a blast!

Holding New Puppies
We are back from a 2-week vacay, in which time stopped and internet and cell phones did not really exist. I loved it. I had no concept of time, or what day it was, and it was fabulous to be with my family, minus 1 sister, and just BE. So I surprisingly didn't take many pictures, but I did take a few, and I'll upload them later, but one of the fun things we got to do was to hold some 3 week old puppies that my sister-in-laws friend just had...they were adorable and both of my kids could not get enough!
and just so we're all clear, i do not want a puppy. :)

Disneyland!
We were so lucky to get to go to Disneyland today with our friends!
{We haven't been in 2 years??}
Our new neighbor's (Michelle) daughter Paige is doing an internship at Disneyland (lucky girl) and offered to take our family and Jillonnie's family to Dland today...AND her sisters, Hannah and Morgan, came with us so we got free parking AND HELP! oh my it was THE BEST!
I don't think I sat with MY kids on a ride the whole time...Ivy went with either Shelby or one of the big girls, and Max got a new buddy every time
Jungle Cruise with Hannah
The Nightmare Before Christmas...I was shootin' in the dark, but here are all 87 of us...minus, me, June and Morgan
Cute Hannah and Max
Jack :)
They love the Carousel! Max and Ivy's fav...of all the rides...they MUST visit the carousel!
The famous Sword...hate to tell you, none of these kids are bound to be royalty...dang!
teacups! so glad I could sit this one out...seriously, Morgan and Hannah are AWESOME!
Love Max and River's faces with Hannah spinning them like cuh=razy!
One happy girl on Small World with a chocolate pudding mustache and so many things to look at she couldn't stop grinning!
We had such a great day! Thanks, Smiths for inviting us to come!!!

surf city pier lighting and parade
I love downtown HB...they close the street off twice a week for a farmers market/street fair, and a couple of times a year, they hold little small town parades. We live close enough to walk or ride bikes and it's so fun! Yesterday was the annual lighting of the HB pier and the parade. They have some of our favs:
The turquoise woody...love that car!
and Ivy's future car...haha, rad!
Sparky the fire dog
and Surf Santa and Mrs. Claus:
Then we have to wait a while for it to get dark enough for them to light up the pier...pretty, huh!?
Luckily we had our besties to wait with: Max, Shelby and River(in the back) and Ivy and June (in the front)
We even said howdy to Mr and Mrs Claus.
Max had a book to talk to Santa about...Ivy just told Mrs Claus she wanted lipstick. (awesome easy!)
we love hb!
