Huntington Lake

 This is Huntington Lake.  A place that holds many of my childhood memories.  My parents have a cabin that is tucked away above this gorgeous lake.  As kids, we would spend hours down by the water catching water spiders, boating and swimming.  I was so excited to take Gracey and Beckham to a place that I have such beautiful childhood memories of.

                                             TA DA!!!!

 Tiffany's Family spent the weekend with us up at the cabin.  The kids had so much fun together.

Beckham ran all the way down our hike and talked daddy into letting him rehydrate with root beer

We took a paddle board up for the weekend.  It was a perfect way to check out the cove.  Beckham kept saying "Daddy....we're surfing, we're surfing!!!"

 Who says you have to fish with a line and hook???

Happy 2nd Birthday Beckham!

That is one cute Birthday Boy.

Our Boxer Koda is Beckham's best buddy. He feeds him everyday and rushes outside after breakfast to hang out. They look for lizards, dig and snuggle in the grass together. I love the way Beckham's face lit up when he saw the Koda cake I made him.



Checking him out


Getting a little closer...



...and kisses him. Love this boy!

Gracey's 4th Birthday!

This little girl had her heart set on celebrating her 4th Birthday " Tangled" style. Gracey must have lots of people who love her, because both our families traveled very far distances to help celebrate and make this day extra special!


They loved painting their works of art, just like Rapunzel.


Cousins and Gracey's friend Scarlett.

They busted open a treat filled pinata


They all wanted to dress up as princesses before they released the
"shining golden lanterns"





And of course ate lots of cake and ice cream!

To finish off the day, our babysitter watched all the kids while we had a super fun date night.
Rob and I took the May's to walk our favorite running trail and we enjoyed dinner together. I will forever be grateful that I married into such a wonderful family that I adore.





Gracey also got to celebrate turning "4" at her pre school. She could hardly wait to share her princess cup cakes with her class. Happy Birthday Gracey Girl!

Gymnastics

Excited for their first day of gymnastics.

"the awesome possum"


Gracey and Beckham look forward to every Friday, when they get to jump, swing, climb and tumble.
... and I look forward to their darling, energetic smiles.



This is Beckham's highlight of the hour.

Easter

Early Easter with Grammy

My mom couldn't bare the thought of missing out on Easter while she was vacationing with my dad in south east Asia and Australia. So, she brought Easter to us in March. The kids loved her toy filled eggs and fun goodies!

Hooray for Beckham! Potty trained just in time to turn 2!!
