School Campout

I really can't believe another preschool campout has come and gone.  This year flew by.  FLEW.  This is sort of our last big thing with school for the year.  And its always amazingly fun!!!  This year rain was predicted, but it stayed away and it kind of made for a fun, small, intimate group.

Kia and I sent this picture to one of our favorite people, the kids' teacher Sandy, she couldn't make it this year and we sure did miss her!!!!!  And yes we had face painted mustaches the whole evening, classy ladies!

Tractor rides

And these friends being terms for the picture!

Sweet friends:

Scott and Parker (not cousin).  Scott remembered his spider painted on his face last year and wanted to relive the memories, so funny what sticks with them. 

 Smores time.

And of course glow sticks.

Brian, Joanne and I raided the kitchen late that night and amused ourselves by adding to this sign.

Parker's mom needed to take her youngest home so Parker got to bunk up with the Campbell boys for the night, it definitely made it extra fun!

Waking up at school is so special. 

I'm so thankful Owen has two more years at this amazing school.  Its going to be really hard when our last school campout rolls around!!!  

Loved this night and all our memories with our village!

Beachin'

So I'm thinking about making this just a camping update blog, because we go a lot.  Our most recent trip, a couple weeks ago, was amazing.  Mimi and Papa used our RV and for the week, also helping us reserve a spot for the weekend, pretty amazing to know we had a spot leading up to the weekend.

Let the weekend begin...

So without going into too much detail, there was a little health related drama at school a few weeks ago, it all got resolved but it definitely left a bad taste in my mouth about how some of it was handled by certain people in charge and how many conclusions were jumped to.  So long story short, I have the funniest friends in the world and one of them left this little tapeworm in my cubby.  So in her honor I documented "Percy the Parasites" beach weekend:

Owen's new lovey. 

The boys soakin' up the sun...

Again, my friends, I just can't.  My wine yoke also from a girlfriend....its like they just know me. 

 Sunsets in full effect:

Which brother is which?

Boogie boarding of course (despite how cold it was!)

Afternoon cocktails with Percy.

Getting buried

Lounging:

Scott mastering his smash ball skills

Family selfies, always a must

Sunday morning Percy and I met Mimi for coffee in town, I definitely decided this will become our new camping tradition!!!

Hanging with the Daniels on Sunday.

Another great beach weekend! 

Lately,

Well April flew by.  We have been having a great time enjoying some spring weather lately, house projects have been a happening on the weekends, summer schedule is being worked on, fall soccer has been signed up for, kindergarten has been registered for, swim lessons in a few weeks....you get the idea.

At the beginning of the month I rang in my 33rd birthday.  I had been wanting to try paddling boarding for a while so Brian arranged for us to take a lesson in Ventura.   It was a great morning, and  now of course, I'm addicted.

Been spending lots of time with this little lady and I can't get enough of her.

Speaking of which Owen can't get enough of her either, he's head over heels for his baby cousin and it melts my heart.

These turkeys....

this is how they decided to teach Eden to crawl.  And yes, Owen is naked.

Love their bond.

Owen has been borrowing marbles from school for months, so for his birthday he got his very own set.  He just loves them.  Its wonderful watching him enjoy such a simple toy.

Our favorite crew on Easter.  It was a mellow Easter this year since we left for our Utah trip the next day.

I'm sorry but isn't she the cutest?!?!?!!!

My best friend since 5th grade, Erin, and I both have April birthdays, so to celebrate we treated ourselves to Newsies tickets.

It was a great show and we had a great girlie date night!  Much needed catch up time!

And this little girl loving getting her adjustment:

A month or so ago I attended a girls night out at school where we got to do clay projects.  Here is one of my finished pieces.  Pinterest for the win!!!

My sweet guys cracking each other up in the morning and trying to avoid getting out of their warm beds.

I snuck this picture of them at the kids room at Cardio Barre, watching TV obviously.  I just love how they love each other. 

Coming to work with me can be so boring sometimes.

One day after school we ran into friends at Barnes and Noble, it was such a treat to all sit and read together.  Zoey's dad was kind of enough to let Scott choose some and of course Scott chose some super hero books.  Danny was stoked "Oh wow, great choice."  Meanwhile I was rejoicing that I didn't have to read it....I don't know if you've ever read them but they are all just God awful.  Of course Danny, who has two girls, has probably never gotten to read them ever.  I think we should have more reading play dates and I'll take on some princess stories and trade for the super hero stories for a day.

This past Monday I took my wonderful, amazing, awesome, basically my right arm, office manager out to dinner for her birthday.  We went to Hugo's which I LOVE and I had the most amazing ginger margarita.  And I ended the night with a vedic latte - I'm telling you this is my kinda place.

Well I feel proud that I snuck in one more post in April.  Here's to May.  And the end of school and the beginning of summer and all the craziness that is upon us!
