Park West and Estrella Farmers Markets

Lola started off the morning with her stunner shades on - however, it was short lived, they didn't last too long!

Lola and I started off the day bright and early by meeting up with Camille, Avery, Susie, and Jayla at the Park West farmers market! They started at 8 so we went there first, determined to also go out to Estrella's famers market as well (didn't start until 10) to get some new hair things for the girls' headbands!

3 mommies + 3 baby girls = a morning filled with fun!

The most exciting thing for the girls at Park West was a petting zoo that they have set up with lots of cute little farm animals. The last time we went Kyan was all about it and Lola couldn't have cared less - not today! She stood at the fence for awhile before we went in! Her and Jayla loved it! Avery watched from the sideline with her mommy and even got a bunny picture (on Camille's camera) so it looked like she was part of the action! She just watched Lola and Jayla play, but soon enough, Avery will be running around with the two girls!

After Park West, we headed over to Susie's dream house to take a look! We couldn't get in, but peeked in all the windows and back yard! We are crossing our fingers that they take the offer that they put in!
After we left the house, we headed out to Estrella to check out their farmers market! I will admit that it is a bit of a drive but is so pretty out there! We went to Brandie's booth to check out what she has been making! We each got a few things for the girls hair and then we just hung out by the water and visited! Well, we tried to visit - but with two very active 13 months, we got in as much visiting as we could in between tantrums and guarding the girls from going into the water! All in all, we had a blast with our friends and can't wait until next month when we can do it again!

Above and below are pictures of Lola's little tantrum! She was mad at me because I wouldn't let her go in the lake and I brought her back to the sidewalk. She got mad right in the middle of it and threw her fit, then sat up and pouted. It was funny and I couldn't help but laugh. Crying does not bother me and if she wants to cause a scene, well, that is on her! No sweat off mommy's back!

"Monkey See, Monkey Do!"

We went on a family bike ride to the park today after Chad got home from work. Lola does everything that Kyan does - here is the proof!

She was really thinking about following him?!

This one cracks me up! Poor Kyan is never going to catch a break from her!

Fun times going down the slide - although it looks like I am having more fun than she is! And yes, my kid sports the Walmart knees! She is always dirty!

Kicking it in her part of the bike - the back! She loves just chillin' in that thing and watching us bike around her!

Hanging w/ the girls

This is a new fav of the two of my kids together! Wish you could see more of Kyan's face, but just love how the two of them are so good to each other - mostly Kyan to his sister!

Only pic I got with Camden and Candis

Me and my kiddos! We had so much fun together!

Today we went to meet up with Candis, Camden, Camille, and Avery at Desert Ridge for some shopping and playing! Camden was feeling a little out of her element, so Candis and her left kinda early - we were sad as we don't get to see them too much these days! Hopefully she will be feeling better soon and we can play!
Camille, Avery, Kyan, Lola and I managed to have a blast! We let the kids play at the playground for a little while - Lola was very interested in Avery and her carseat! Kyan was a climbing away on the tunnel! He was hoping the trampoline would be open for business, but no one was operating it, so off we went to look in the Carters store and then to eat at Paradise Cafe (they have the best salad!) Outside of the cafe they had a water feature and the kids loved watching the water and playing on the ledge that led up to the water! In fact they preferred to go up and down on that rather than actually play in the water! We will definately be back there when it gets a little hotter! It was fun to watch them play there and will be fun to see them get wet! Got some cute photos today and talked with Camille who I don't get to just kick it with all that much anymore either! Was nice of her to go all that way to hang out! Avery is cute as a button and her daddy's mini me! Except for her beautiful red hair like her mama! We could only stay for a few hours and then it was off to take Brion to his radiation appointment. It was a nice final day off for spring break and we had a good week!

Take us out to the ballgame!

Today we went to see a Spring Training game with Susie, Jearel, and Jayla! The kids and I went and had a blast for two hours out in the hot sun! I can't complain, they kept their hats on almost the entire time and I got to get a little suntan! Not bad for a Wednesday afternoon! Thanks Garrett family for the invite! We had fun!!!

We walked to the fence in the outfield after the 7th inning stretch to catch a closer look! Kyan was not thrilled to take a picture of the three of us. The things I make him go through...

Lola is so good about drinking her water from a sippy cup! That thing was full when we got there and had just a tiny swig left by the time we got to the car.
