Downtown HB

Every Tuesday night they close off Main street in Downtown HB and have local vendors, food and fun activities for the kids. I have never been, so one Tuesday I took the kids. It was crowded! We went down the pier to Ruby's for dinner. After we walked the street and the kids got their faces painted. They also went into a giant inflatable obstacle course. After that we went to Cold Stone for dessert where Papa Jack met up with us. It was a fun night.

The lady who paints their faces puts glitter on Abby's lips. Then she won't smile because she is so worried about her lips. You should have seen her eating her ice cream after! She was trying so hard not to mess up her lips.

4th of July

On the 4th of July I had to work during the day, so these are pictures of the night. Jillonnie and her family came over to my parent's house to swim. When I got home we ate some BBQ for dinner. Then we went for a bunny walk with Me, Abby, Jack, James, Jillonnie, Shelby, River, June, Bonnie, Kalyn, Ireynne, Julie & Audrey. It was quite a sight to see all of us and our strollers (me with a double) walking the horse trails counting bunnies. (When we stayed at my parent's house we went on a bunny walk every night). After the bunny walk we ate dessert and got ready for fireworks. It was such a fun day. I only wish I could have been there for the swimming in the day. But I'm glad I didn't miss the night though! I love the 4th of July! 

Every time a firework went off Jack would flinch. It was great!

June and the firework is called a June Bug...just like what we call her!

I'm not sure Jack fully understood what was going on.

The Wetlands

So I am not a big lover of birds, but I thought we would go to the Bolsa Chica Wetlands one morning since I have lived here my whole life and never gone. There were definitely a lot of birds, and I had a heavy stroller to push on that gravel road! It got hot after a while so we had to turn back because I just couldn't do it anymore!

Feeding the Ducks

I'm slowly updating my blog with all the stuff we have been doing this summer. One morning I took the kids to Central Park to feed the ducks and play at the park. We do this all the time, but James is not always with us when we go. It was fun to see all three kids enjoying themselves so much.

So cute together!

It's been a long time...

The past six weeks have been crazy for us. That's why I haven't updated my blog. We moved out of our old house (it took two huge storage units to hold all our stuff), moved in with my parents for five weeks and then moved into our new house. Needless to say we've been busy so I haven't updated at all. Anyway, I have a lot to catch up on but here are just a few pictures of things that went on at Grandma's and Papa's house.

Jack got his own Push Pop!

He loves it!

This is what happens with no child locks on the bathroom cabinets!
