Rylee's 1st Dance Class

Well, I forgot my good camera, so I had to use my spare one for Rylee's first dance class. The pictures are a little fuzzy and before she even got to tap dancing, the batteries were dead. But, here are some pictures of Miss Rylee doing ballet with her new teacher Miss Cammie. I think Rylee has found her calling. She absolutely loved it and is quite a natural (I may be biased, but her teacher kept asking me if she had dance lessons before...she couldn't believe this was her VERY FIRST CLASS!)

Memorial (or should I say LABOR) day

We had a busy weekend of picking up pine needles/cones, building docks, disassembling old docks, adding another layer of bricks to the walkway....We proabably could have called it labor weekend! We did have a lot of fun, though!

Memorial Day Weekend - time to relax

Potty Time

When we were on our vacation, Paul started showing an interest in using the potty. So, we broke out the "Royal Throne" for Paul a couple of days ago. Last night, he actually went potty in it. It was just a little pee pee, but he was so proud (so were we)....is it possible that Paul might be potty trained early? Let's hope!

Congrats Jim and April

She's back!

Sierra and I went back to agility practice after 5 weeks off (due to Sierra's injury) and she did great! No limping this morning, either!!!! SHE IS BACK! The picture below is from our 1st trial over 3 years ago!

1st weekend at Diamond Lake

These were the only picts I took with my "spare" camera. Rylee and Paul eating their breakfast on the swing.

Haircut

Gus got his first haircut for the summer. Doesn't he look so nice! :) I will post pictures from our 1st weekend at the lake later. My camera is in the "shop" being cleaned, so I need to get Mom and Dad's camera for the picts!

Mother's Day at Grams

The whole clan (we had to take 2 picts to get everyone in the shot!)

Back to the Ocean

We went to Coronado to go see the real ocean (not just an inlet). It was pretty amazing for the kids. Rylee found some pink and purple seashells which she was so excited about!

The Wild Animal Park

We got this picture message while at the Wild Animal Park from Rylee's best friend Kate (cute huh?) Of course, we found the playground at the park, too.,..

The Wild Animal Park

Paul loved chasing the birds (here is yelling "mama" for me to watch him) Elephants
Rob taking the kids up the sides of the mountain in the stroller...they loved it! Paul was chatting with this duck while we were eating lunch
We went to a bird show at the park and Paul loved it. The birds would fly right over our heads!

Dinner with Marc & Laura

We met Rob's cousin Marc and his girlfriend Laura at Seau's for dinner. Marc works at the SD Zoo and gave us tickets to get into the Zoo, Sea World and the Wild Animal Park!

The Dolphin Encounter

Rylee and I did a dolphin encounter where we were able to feed the dolphins, pet the dolphins and give them signs. We had a lot of fun with Captain and Venus!

Sea World

The Budweiser wagon (there were clydesdales and a dalmation!) Rylee really liked the white whales
