AFTER CHURCH: They love walking on top of this wall on the way to church.
SUPER HEROS DAY: Elaina makes a wonderful bat girl, wearing Seth's shirt and cape.
OCEANSIDE HARBOR: Aubrey loves to walk on top of walls. She looked like the coppertone baby, because we forgot to bring a extra diaper.
LEGOLAND: After living in San Diego for 9 years we finally went to Legoland.
BIG PIXEL PICTURES: I thought the lego sculptures looked like a digital TV screen without enough pixels.%2Bwith%2B'princesses'%2Bat%2Bher%2Bb-day%2Bparty%2C%2BHighland%2BOaks%2Bhouse%2C%2BFallbrook%2C%2BCA.JPG)
ELAINA'S 6th BIRTHDAY: Alas it was a Frozen party. We had an Elsa cake, made snowmen, and went sledding in our culvert.
THE PRESENTS
MOTHER'S DAY: Neil got me vegetarian cookbooks and Seth gave me his love. The best part about being a mom is cuddle time.
FINALLY ALL OF US LOOKED AT THE CAMERA AT THE SAME TIME. In our Easter finest, we had to do a repeat photo in May.
FIRE, FIRE, FIRE, FIRE, FIRE: Yes I saw 5 different fires while driving from Fallbrook to Oceanside all in one day. This fire was the Camp Pendelton fire. The kids got out of school the following day.
FIRE BEHIND OUR HOUSE: We don't have snow days in California, we have fire days. I figured, we have the day off it is 100 degrees outside, lets go down town and check out the new water park. Well then I started getting phone calls. They are evacuating near your house. I had to rush home we were about a mile from the evacuation zone, but it was sure fun watching those planes drop fire retardant. They flew by over and over again. The military does a good job putting out fires.

DADDY WITH HIS GIRL

MAMA'S AT THE CASTLE:
THE BOAT TO CATALINA: It was full and only outdoor seating was available. However it was a fun trip and no one got sea sick.
AVALON BEACH: was a perfect wading beach for our kids. I was so relaxed there lying out and watching our kids play. I would love go on this vacation again. 
THE WALK TO THE AVALON CASINO: I thought this was the most scenic walk in Catalina. I have made this walk many times when coming here for swing dance conventions.
SETH LOVES TO JUMP: He jumped off this tower many times and never seemed to hurt himself.
WRIGLEY'S MEMORIAL: I never knew that Wrigley's remains were buried here. We finally visited the botanical gardens and his memorial. That was a long 2 mile stroller ride up hill. I wish I could have ridden in the stroller, too bad I had to push it.
THE BLUE MAN LIPS: Seth had fun eating something blue before going paddle boating with dad. I got to take Aubrey paddle boating too.
EASTER DAY PICTURES: We were all in our finest with new dresses and ties for Easter, but we still couldn't get everyone to look at the camera.
THE EASTER EGG HUNT
TEMECULA WINERY:
THE UTC MALL: It was lovely to visit the newly remodeled UTC mall, after going to the temple. I was happy to visit Yogen Fruz where you choose your frozen fruit and they mix it into frozen yogurt and it comes out with a twist.
THE FAMOUS TABLE: We inherited the famous glass table from mom when she finally moved after 3 years. It has taken her a full year to move. Fortunately the house sold and put a deadline on the process. This is the same table Marilee fell through in high school. She received many stitches from that accident.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY: A late celebration of Grandma and Grandpa's birthdays with our Alaska cousins
LITERATURE DAY: Elaina dressed up as Fancy Nancy. Notice her hair.

SAN DIEGO ZOO: We went to the zoo on a Friday afternoon for 3 hours, which is just the right amount of time.
AUBREY POPS ABOVE THE ICE LIKE A SEAL: She kept climbing on the ice and going down the hole over and over again.
SETH GIVES AUBREY A HUG: Look Mom, Seth can pick up Aubrey. That is pretty impressive since there is only a 10 pound difference in their weights.
THE DADDY DAUGHTER DANCE: Daddy had a great time with his little princess Elaina.
ELISHA AND BEN GET SEALED TO KENNY AND CHLOE: We all met at the Newport Beach temple to celebrate this big occasion. After much prayer and a lot of red tape the adoption went through. We are glad to have 2 more 2nd cousins to play with. 
MASON REGIONAL PARK IRVINE: Batman feeds the birds. Seth enjoyed feeding the ducks. 
ELAINA POSES AS THE LITTLE MERMAID: We went to the beach and happened to be there when people were participating in a half iron man triathalon. Aubrey couldn't find me for a minute at the park and, asked a lady to help her find her mother. The lady asked what does your mother look like? Aubrey replied, "She's white."
