Kaitlynn turns 5!!!

 This year we were able to celebrate Kaitlynn's birthday again at the pool. I had her cake made at work just how I wanted it. I then put the ponies on the cake. If you didn't guess, it was a My little Pony party. Sadly this year, our party was a family event.

 Anna was happy to be in the water. She just loves water.

 The grand parents and great Grand parents even made it out.

 Kaitlynn was just so happy about everything she got for her birthday.

 I think Andrew was more excited about Kaitlynn's present.

Andrew helped Kaitlynn blow out her candles. It was a nice day to be at the pool and to spend her birthday with family and friends.

First Day of School

Kaitlynn started Kindergarten this year. She is going to Pinetree and goes all day. She was lucky enough to be in the same kinder class with her friend Gage. Gage and Kaitlynn met last year in Pre-school.

Andrew started the 2nd grade this year. He is still going to Canyon springs and gets on the bus at 6:42 am. I hope we all have a great school year.

Part 2: The ZOO

While we were in San Diego we took a day to go to the zoo as a family.

We got to the zoo right after in opened and got on their bus system to see all the animals. By going early morning you have the opportunity to see the big cats walking around.

 we were able to see the lions.

The elephants.

Warthogs

Black bear

Rhinos

Giraffes

Koalas

After the bus ride, we took the sky tram to the polar bears.

Then a quick look at the white fox because that was one animal Andrew asked us to go look at.

 

 It was fun day and everyone had a blast.

A well needed vacation: Part 1

 This year we had the opportunity to stay in San Diego for a week. We left after I got home from work. We managed to pack a week worth of stuff in our truck.

 Usually when we drive pass the shore and the naval base, we see some cool stuff. This helicopter was flying down the freeway and landing next to it. When we got to San diego, we unpacked what we needed to spend the week in the house we were staying at. We were lucky enough to also have a heated pool at this house and it got used A LOT!

 One of our lazy days we had a silly string fight. I think David got most of the attack.

Just down the street from our house was this cool tank.
