All the fun stuff

Shaun loves his play day's! Here he is with his friend Spencer. Spencer is really sweet and very quiet. In fact, he doesn't say much at all. They play cars, push each other on the swings, play soccer, and get along great despite the silence. Finally the other day he said something and Shaun excitedly screamed, "He talks, Mom!" Eating treats under a sleeping bag makes it taste so much better!


Sasha had a bake sale the other day. The girls did pretty well not to eat all the profits, even if these pictures look like there may be a sugar high!
They just made a sale! Cheer up already! This picture is only moderately posed. Really! Good job guys, nobody is walking off with any of the goods today!

For Spring Break last week our family went to San Diego to spend some time at the beach. Unfortunately, we couldn't find the charger for the digital camera anywhere before we took off, so all I have recorded (pics) from that trip are small pictures from Vaughns cell phone! I can't believe with all the cords and plug in thingies we have in this house, that none of them were for that camera!!!! I found it today...always a day late and a dollar short! Anyway, the trip was great, but we wanted to do a shout-out to Elliot! (We booked our rental car on line, but apparently we went to the wrong place once in San Diego and needless to say, this van (rental company) was an adventure in and of itself! "Elliot" left his "my name is Elliott" sticker on the window and so we assumed (imagined) we were renting Elliot's moms van for the week. Poor Elliot. We hope school was within walking distance!) It was a great trip! Vaughns legs got burned to a crisp, we collected shells, played in the water, swam in the hotel pool, visited the San Diego temple grounds, and loved every minute together! I'm really starting to get addicted to these little getaways!


And finally, for SHAUN'S 3RD BIRTHDAY, he was able to already get his drivers license!!!!! he LOVED it and as soon as we took the car out front, he picked up how to drive it immediately. He was born to drive! Notice the matchbox car in his hot little mitt? You hardly ever see him without a car, so this was a real treat for him because HE LOVES CARS!!!! It was a joy to watch him take the wheel! He has driven the battery pretty much to dead every day since then!

Thanks for posting...I was beginning to think that you lost your computer!

Did you notice yet that you didn't put the picture of Shaun and his b-day car?! And, what a bummer to not have your camera for your trip, too. Oh well. What can you do. Sounds like you had fun. I wish you had a picture of the van...and Vaughn's legs! :)
