BYE BYE SUMMER.....

Well summer is officially OVER!! Well for Jailyn at least!! SHe started 2nd grade today!! It is a little bitter sweet actually!! I'm definitely enjoying not having to listen to the kids fight & tell me they are bored every 5 mins. but I'm not thrilled about having to get up & get ready early in the AM. Well we did some fun stuff in our last few days of summer. Here are the pics!!!

We went to the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana. They have a new dinosaur exhibit that the kids were really excited about especially Marcus!!

Marcus & the Triceritops fossil

We also went to the La Habra Childrens Museum. It's an all hands on museum for kids!! We went with friends & the kids had ALOT of fun!!!

Marcus tried on REAL firemen clothes! They were sooo heavy that I had to prop him up against a bench to take this pic!!

Jailyn roaring like a lion

Marcus put his racing helmet on upside down!!!

Jailyn with the pretty butterfly out front

The kids with the sign

We also made one last beach trip!! It was one of the nights when it was SUPER HOT & my mom doesn't have A/C so we went after dinner down to the beach for like an hour to cool off & let the kids play!! It was right around sunset so the lighting was cool I got ALOT of really cute pics but I only have room for 2 SORRY!!!

My sweet little boy!!!

My BEAUTIFUL girl!!!!

We also spent a weekend in Temecula hanging out with the family!! we stayed at my Aunt Debby's house. We went swimming & hung out!! It was a nice little vacay. The kids swam like fishes especially Jailyn but Marcus was doing really well!!!

Brunch, Play & Bikes!!!!!

ok so this is going to be a little bit of a long one!! Lot's of pics!!! So we went down to the Paradise Pier Hotel down by Disney land for their character brunch. It was a TON of fun!! Not something you can do all the time cuz it's pricey but fun for a special occasion!! Marcus loved all the characters especially Pluto & Stitch. Jailyn on the other hand was being all dumb & acting like she was scared of all the boy characters. She eventually got over it though!! Got some really good pics!!!

Up next is the pics from the latest play Jailyn was in. It was Honk the story of the ugly duckling. It was super cute!!! She of course had tons of fun!! She had a voiceover part so she wasn't speaking on stage but her ensemble/group parts were ALOT bigger this time! She had 5 coustume changes this time!! She was out there alot!!

Here she is a goose off on a wild goose chase cutest part of the play!!!

Here she's a frog

And last but most definitely not least is our new bikes!!!! I've been asking for a beach cruiser for MONTHS & I finally got one!!! Actually we all got new bikes!!! Marcus was the only one of us that had one but his was too small for him so we all got new ones. JR, Jailyn & I got beach cruisers from this guy brand new for a great deal!! We got all 3 bikes for the price of 1 from the stores!!! Marcus is too small for a cruiser so we got him a tony hawk bike from Toy's R Us. We all named our bikes. Keep in mind the kids picked their own names!!
