Memorial Day

So Jed got Memorial Day off and we decided to take a day trip to Morro Bay. Growing up in Lemoore, Morro Bay was "our beach." We would go there for camping trips with my mom and dad and stay at the overflow campground near Cambria. I have so many fond memories of the place that I love going back just to revisit. The Shell Shop is always and must and so is taffy down by the rock. Unfortunatly the Soldier Factory is gone in Cambria, but you can still visit the mock battlegrounds there. This trip was not a sightseeing one though. We drove to Cayucos and went out on the state beach there. It was cold there when the wind blew but it was still a nice day. Hyrum stayed bundled the whole day and of course my daredevil Ashlee just ran into the water with Daddy. My mom acted as the warming station when they got a little too cold. We then drove to Morro Bay to eat at the Hula Hut and get some Taffy. Before long it was time to head home. We had a fun day and just enjoyed getting some time off from life!! I just love this picture of Ashlee. She just looks like a big girl in it.

Hyrum is "2"

Hyrum turned 2 last week. I can not believe how quickly the time passes. He is such a little ball of energy and has such a loving heart. If someone is crying he runs up and pats their back. If he hurts someone he pats them and says "I sorry." He is just my little angel. Most people he greets by running up to them with arms open wide, so trusting of those around him. This year he add an exciting birthday. On the actual day, Friday, May 15th, we went as a family to Chuck-E-Cheese. He loves to go their and play Skeetball. Hyrum will stand their throwing the same ball up for hours. On Sunday my family came over for cake and ice cream. I made him a basketball cake as he has such a LOVE of balls. I think it turned out okay for my first attempt. Daddy got him a bigwheel to ride around on and he loves it. We then had a little party with some of his nursery friends from church and a friends little boy with a birthday just a few days after Hyrum's (sorry my pictures did not turn out from that.) All in all I think he had a fun time and enjoyed himself. He is truly turning into a little man!

Perfect Angels

Okay so Mother's Day has come and gone, but with computer problems I have been unable to post pictures for awhile. I know it is dumb but I feel like I can't post unless I have some terrific pictures. Anyway I had a great Mother's day with lots of TLC from DH and the little ones. The other day I had to go to the mall with my little ones. They became enthralled with the little photo booth. I couldn't resist so I was able to get these precious pictures:
Kind of reminds me why I wanted to be a mom in the first place. Honestly who could resist those adorable smiles of pure joy.
