A little summer fun, so far.....

With the weather getting hot, we are finding ourselves spending more time outside in the water and finally getting a little beach time. I love the sunshine. It makes me happy to get up in the morning and it also gives us so many options on what we can do with our day.

Emily loves to paint, actually she loves anything that involves getting messy. So we decided to do a little face painting one afternoon.

What do you expect from a 3 year old...... it's colorful though.


One of Jacks new favorite hobbies is watching the trains at the Fullerton train station. When the Spaghetti Factory was having there special, we tried to make it there once a week to have a bite for dinner and watch the incoming and outgoing trains. It was FUN. We went with the Hansens a bunch of times and the Marrs once. All the kids seemed to really enjoy the trains and looked forward to it each week. Jack got obsessed with it and now is really in to Thomas the train stuff and train books.



A couple of weeks ago Papa and Grammy Doerr took the kids and Matt and I to Sesame Street Live at the Long Beach Performing Arts Center. The kids had a really good time and Jack was in ah of the characters. Ivy got great seats (1st row from the stage) and we got to see it up close and personal. They took us 2 years ago when Emily was almost 2 and she loved it then too. Fun times....
