we've been around...

Zoo Time: My mom got us passes to the Zoo (and we got some to SeaWorld)
1. Zebra and I obviously got the memo
2 .Krew and Trey just playing with their seal friends at the Zoo


Emman's Birthday: The little guy turned 5
1. lil bro sporting his birthday getup. AWESOME.
2. Ticket blaster... this is hilarious to watch kids do. Emman didn't know what to do so he just stood there as tickets flew around him. Why didn't they have this when I was younger?


Mom of 6: Last week I stayed with Cameron's 5 cousins while their parents were in Hawaii
1. making a tower on the scale with our 10 cups of frozen yogurt
2. cousin Ashtyn playing with Krew. She is one of our blog readers and was such a big help while I was playing mom of 6 for a few days.


little Krewton:
1. Just looking oh-so-cute in his jammies. 2. Hanging out with Nana


Happiest place on earth:
1. Shannon brought Krew and I to Disneyland on Monday and we never wanted to leave! Krew enjoyed eating a Buzz Lightyear gun while riding with Nana.
2. Krew and I enjoying Small world ride. It's a Small World was by far Krew's favorite ride. We rode it twice. I think Krew looks like he could join right in with all the little guys singing and dancing.
3. Krew looking cute in a chipmunk hat







And we returned to Disneyland with the Collins on Friday!

50 years and 50 years to go!

I don't usually do birthday shout-outs on here but it's the BIG 50 for my dad!
A huge milestone!
My mom threw a fun birthday party for him at my parents house. My brother Jeff played his awesome music including performing a "Jeff style" cover of "Forever Young" followed by a special guest performance by this guy! I didn't know it was him until I said from the other room, "This guy sure sounds exactly like the guy on the radio..." and sure enough it was!
My dad got a new skateboard as a gift from the family and he still needs to prove he can do his handstand on it being 50!

It was an awesome birthday party for an awesome dad.

Still shredding in his 50th year!




a quick phone pic from the 50th birthday bash.
I am so lucky to have such a great dad who is not only fun and cool but is so sweet, caring and selfless and all around awesome.
I love you Dad!
