Happy Anniversary!

Today Dan and I celebrate 7 years of marriage together and almost 11 years of being together. Wow! Time sure does fly. I still remember him asking me to "be his girlfriend" on the back of a boat at Lake Havasu like it was yesterday. I am so blessed to have met him and now to have him be the father of my kids. He is everything I could ask for in a man and more, love you babe!

Easter Weekend

This past weekend we celebrated Easter with both of our families. On Saturday we had Dan's family over and we had a BBQ. Then on Sunday we had my family over and did brunch after church. It was a busy weekend, but 'lots of fun.

Ryan's Field Trip

This last week Ryan took his third field trip this year to the Redlands Fire Station and the Frugal Frigate bookstore. And he had a ton of fun, of course! The kids got to tour the fire house, sit in the fire truck and even try on some fire gear. Then we walked over to the bookstore where they had story time and a yummy snack.

"I'm ready for my close-up, Mom."

On Monday we got the privilege of having Levi in a photo shoot for the baby company Infantino. My sister, Leslie had told me about how they were asking people to submit photos for a special shoot they were going to be doing called "Everybody Plays". It's a really neat shoot that they do because they use average babies, not models, and even include babies with special needs, such as down's syndrome. I submitted a couple pictures to them and Levi got chosen! The shoot was held at a beautiful home near San Diego. It was a lot of fun and a really neat experience. Maybe Levi will try out some more modeling in the future...

And here's one of the pictures they got. Keep an out for him on some Infantino toy packages this summer!

Snow day

This past week we got the pleasure and surprise of some snow! This was definitely the most snow I've seen outside of the mountains. It was really neat to see and Ryan was super excited about it.
