Mommies!

So I really want to take advantage of my time off this summer and would like to schedule in some fun activities. I am thinking atleast once a week Hailee and I should gather together our friends and do something fun to enjoy the weather (hopefully nice from now on!). These things can be in Ashton, or not, but I need friends. Anyone interested in joining up to get our kids out to play I would really appreciate the company. I could use some help with some ideas! Thanks....

VACATION ALL I REALLY WANTED....

Hailee and I took off to California. We went with my mom, Jack, and my Grandma. Curt needed to stay and work, fix fence, you know all the farm boy stuff. It was a pretty good little get-a-way. We spent a lot of time with my Aunt Sharon, Uncle Donald, and Jaquelynn. We went to the beach, San Francisco, the Jelly Belly Factory, and Boomtown by Reno. We ate too much, saw too little, and can't wait to plan the next trip. We missed Curt A LOT, and were glad to be home. Thanks for a great vacation everyone!!

Check out the next few posts to see what Hailee and I did!!

Yatch Club Hear we come!

My Aunt Sharon is a member of the Napa Yatch Club and the Napa Valley Yatch Club. We had a great ride on their boat and met a lot of really neat people. They have a pretty neat group of friends.

Yummy Cookin'

My Uncle Donald is a pretty darn great cook and he made us several tastey meals. He, my Aunt Sharon and their daughter Jaquelynn made us feel very welcome and comfortable! Thanks for such an awesome California Vacation.

The Beach...and my little monster!!

THE GOOD.

Our day day at the beach had a lot of great moments. We had warm weather, a shovel and bucket, a perfect breeze for our kite, and wonderful company. REally relaxing and fun to see Hailee enjoy the sand. She is upset for a minute in this picture because she wants to go back to her playing.

The Bad

Hailee was such a great kid the whole trip, but often her nap times were interrupted with activities and so she would be shortened or delayed in the nap area. She did great until she got told no or had to do something she thought was less interesting. Then she would blow. She threw the best tantrum at the beach. She had only been sleeping for about 30 minutes when we got to the beach and she woke up. She was having a lot of fun playing. I thought I would show her the water, which she thought was amazing. She didn't understand why it kept flowing away and that made her mad because she thought I was taking her out of the water. Well she got mad enough that I decided she was done with the water. This made her even more mad and she made quite the scene. After I washed her off in the sink in the bathrooms, gave her a bottle, and then within minutes she was out for count.

The Rainforest Cafe!!! MMMMMM>>>>>

Sorry it is granny but this is actually better than I thought I would get. It is pretty dark in the eating area, but totally AWESOME!!! You can see Hailee completely amazed at everything !!! She sat in front of a pretty crazy monkey and she loved watching him shake the bushes.

Hailee and I with Monkey Man!!

Basically this is the most amazing restraunt for kids, and for people like me. It is a little expensive, but the portions are HUGE so sharing is totally a must. Also the environment is really impressive. There is a thunderstorm every 15 minutes where the place really gets dark and the animals freak out. You can see shooting stars in the sky and their are aquariums all around. Google it for more information and locations.
