Water Balloons

Emerald's new favorite thing is to play with water balloons. She likes to roll them down our driveway and catch them on the other side of the street. Luckily we live in a nice, tucked in "cul de sac" street that I never have to worry about cars.
She tries soo hard to blow them up with air. It's just too cute.

Charlie the Ghost

Great Mama and Papa's house

Always a good time to visit Great Grandma and Grandpa Brown...the kids love feeding the ducks and taking rides on the four-wheeler.

Mama and Papa's house

For Mother's Day I headed up to Utah to spend a few days with my Madre. We had lots of fun and it's always so good to see my Mom and Dad (never thought I'd say that...haha).

Emerald liked playing with her cousin Tyler and always asks about him now that we are back in Cali.




Tyler and Emerald made a "bunny house" one afternoon. It was 80% off at JoAnns so I couldn't resist. Emerald also had a great time taking Mia on walks, letting her outside to go potty and chasing her around the house. Poor Mia. She puts up with a lot when Emerald comes for a visit!

A Reliable Wife

This is the current book for our book club in the Antelope Valley Mom's Group that I am a part of. It is FANTASTIC. So mysterious and "intoxicating" states the Washington Post. :)

Three Years Old

Emerald is 3! She had a party on Friday night with pizza and yummy Horse cake.

She had her little friends over and they played with bubbles, did pin the tail on the donkey and colored wood horses.

She got lots of great things for her birthday like coloring books, stickers, clothes, swimsuit, slide/climber for the backyard and some cute pink Converse sneakers!

Wow. She is 3. And cuter every day. I love her to pieces!
