:: Correction ;) ::

Teo pointed out something on the list about Evan.  After he gets his own breakfast, Teo then makes him oatmeal every morning. So here is my correction, sorry daddy.

3. You are an early riser like your daddy. You get yourself breakfast, and watch cartoons in the morning. After your breakfast, daddy makes you oatmeal, you call it eatmeal.

:: Grandma's visit ::

Well I can't believe I forgot to write about grandma's visit, the visit that allowed me to relax in Kauai!
Thank you so much mom for loving my rascals (and Teo) for 7 days, while I went to Kauai. While I was gone, they had fun going to Lake Murray, the park, going to soccer practice, cousin Kai's lunch on the lawn, and getting grandma's special hugs and kisses. Thanks Mom, I owe you one!

:: Kauai ::

I recently got to go to Kauai for our friend Erica and Mike's wedding. I got to go solo and to say it was exciting was an understatement.  Friends, surfing, stand up paddle-boarding, swimming, drinking, laughing and eating filled my time during my 7 days of freedom ;)  Of course I missed my lovely children and husband, but that week gave me something back that you lose as a full time mommy, rest and relaxation. I got my happy back!!

 Ashley took this picture of the happy couple

The kids and I took a little adventure up Julian to pick apples and search for GOLD!
