The kids miss their Uncle Colt

Uncle Colt spent a few months here while working at the local tennis academy. The kids really enjoyed their time with him and would run to him every time he stopped by. He was also great about coming by and helping entertain them when Ryan would be out of time. The other day I said "cold" and Cassie perked up and said "COLT?" We appreciated all his help with the kids over the last few months and we all miss having him around.

Catching up-Beach, Pool, Playground

Well I am very behind on posting so I apologize. I think I'm going to start by getting some of the pics up from mom and dad's visit over a MONTH ago. Many have already seen these but I want to have them on here. Yes I know...I'm that behind....

I know Grandma and Papa Gaston are especially anxious for more recent pictures. And I will try to be back in a bit to add those. At the moment, Campbell is very anxious for undivided attention.

Pre-K graduation post is to come....

Easter

We had a nice Easter. Saturday Campbell and I decorated our eggs. The Easter Bunny brought the kids just a little candy. He brought Campbell some golf clubs, a super hero book, and the movie Bolt. And he brought Cassidy an Elmo book and movie, some crayons and her first My Little Pony! After breakfast we did a trial egg hunt in the house and then a couple outside. Note to self, be sure to get plastic eggs for the hunt in future years! They are definately not edible after the hunt! It was funny because the same egg kept falling out of Cassie's basket without her realizing it so she kept having an egg to hunt!

Now for the pics. You will notice we started the day with pigtails but they went missing pretty quickly:

Catching up!

I know its been a while and I have no good excuse for you except that the kids have me running so much that by time I have my camera out and ready they are somewhere else!

We took a trip up to Santa Barbara wine country last weekend! We had a picnic at Melville winery and then we took the kids to a big park up there. Cassie was digging the swings and loved the red swing below!

Cass loves to wear everyone's shoes. Here she is trying Ryan's out. She was having a difficult time getting up in them!
