Joshua's First Day of Kindergarten

My little baby boy went to kindergarten today. I can't believe is going to school now. The time has gone by way too quickly.



He was so excited, and a little nervous. He kept saying he is going to miss me so we talked about all the fun things he is going to do. I let him pick out a new shirt for his first day of school, and of course he picked his favorite color! It is perfect to show his happy personality. 



We walked into school. We were not allowed to walk them to their classrooms, only to the front of the school where they met with the principal who would walk them back to their classrooms.




Out in front of his school.


All the kids lined up in to rows to go to their classes. Joshua was so excited, but looking around taking it all. There was a little girl crying hard and he kept watching her. Then he looks up at his principal and says "I have my lunch in my backpack, and my name too. And my mommy got me this special yellow shirt for my first day of school." Then all the nervous little crying kids around him suddenly started showing her their backpacks and excitedly talking about it. 



They marched away to their classroom Abigail and I blew him kisses and yelled that we loved him. He gave us a quick polite wave like "okay mom" and then turned and walked away and did not even look back. I think he will have a great day. I can't wait to go pick him up and hear about it.   


Summer Activities

Joshua the Super Hero!



We went to a big family reunion for my family. We got to see all my cousins and aunts and uncles I have not seen in a long time. 









After the reunion we went swimming at my parents house. Joshua is swimming really well now. 






We went to La Purisima Mission one of the days we were up there for the reunion. 





Caleb had a day off so we went to the Newport Beach. The kids loved burying daddy in the sand.









Abigail got her first hair cut. It was not much just a tiny bit off the back to even it out. She was so excited to finally get to participate with Joshua and get a haircut too. 





4th of July, LA Zoo, Photo Shoot

We had a great 4th of July. They have a huge celebration in our town. So we went to the parade, had a BBQ and watched the fireworks. The kids were very excited about the fireworks, but very tired by the time they finished.



We took a day trip to the LA Zoo. 



Abigail liked the giraffes.



Joshua loved the Koala Bears.



I had not done a photo shoot of the kids in a long time. 




I can not believe how big these two have gotten. They are so sweet.
