Armed Forces Day

Every May, Torrance has an Armed Forces Day parade with tanks, jeeps, helicopters, fighter jets...and anything else you can think of! The night before the parade, you can go see and climb in all the vehicles, go into simulators, and meet some of the soldiers. We went down with some of our friends for dinner and to let the kids play around. They had so much fun!

Another fun day at the park!

We love that we have a park down the street...and that the weather is so nice we can be outside year round! My kids love playing outside and love playing with eachother...Love this picture!!

LA Zoo Trip

Scott and I have had free passes to the zoo since last summer..In April I finally decided to use them with some friends! We took the kids up for an afternoon and they had such a great time!

Petting a Python---Owen thought this was the coolest part of the whole zoo!

Emme LOVED the animals!!

Rex, Brady, McKenna, Peyton, Zane, Emme, Owen, Jordan.

Easter

Yes, yes...I am posting these VERY late! (At least they are here!)

Here are the Easter photos-we dyed eggs the day before. Scott and Emme were interested for about 5 minutes so Owen and I finished them up. The two of us had fun at least!
On Easter morning, the kids had baskets from the Easter Bunny and he hid eggs all over the front room. They had so much fun finding all eggs and eating their goodies in their baskets. Emme's favorite was the bag of cotton candy. Nothing like pure sugar for breakfast!!
After church, we had dinner and ANOTHER Easter egg hunt at Grandma Terri and Papa Mike's. There were only 3 kids (Owen, Emme and their cousin Adam) and close to 100 eggs!! Lucky kids-especially since some of the eggs had money in them!
