JUNE 2011
The month of June flew by! We celebrated Travis' 4th birthday and Scott finished up his first year of teaching at Valley High School. It's been fun now to have dad home for the summer. Now time for swimming, playing outside and going to summer basketball with dad! We also found out that Scott got a new job for the next school year. He will be teaching 8th and 9th grade math at Dixie Middle School. We will be moving to St. George, Utah the end of July and we are excited for new adventures!
My boys!
Tyler fell asleep eating his lunch one day. It was quite funny to see because this kid is NOT a good sleeper!

We met up with Uncle John, Cara and Jason and their family, and Clayton, Hailey and Anna at Balboa Island! We walked up and down the shops and of coarse got a balboa bar! It was fun!

With the cousins Corona Del Mar Beach....looking for the tide pools!

Travis finished his last little mommy and me class at Fullerton College. He got his little award! It's been really fun to go to the classes and watch Travis learn new things. I will miss these classes when we move. Cousin Kylee did the little class with us and so did our good friends...the Wolds!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRAVIS! Travis turned 4 and since we did not have a little friend birthday party, we decided to go bowling as a family (this was Travis' choice of activities!) We had lots of fun and Travis is a good little bowler! Uncle John came with us and Grandpa Murdock even came by to watch!
After bowling, we went home for the party! Grandpa Murdock, Lacey, Jeremy & Brieann and family, and uncle John came for the party. We missed Grandma Murdock but she was home getting prepared for her surgery. Travis' one request was to play pin the tail on the donkey and so we did. It was lots of fun!

Opening presents!
Travis got his new bike with training wheels!
Travis helped me make his cake this year. He wanted to have a "Cars" theme and wanted sprinkles all over his cake!
Happy Birthday Travis! We love you and are so proud of you!
The boys love to run around the apartment with the walkers and crash into each other!
Travis' 4 year check up! He was very brave and did a great job at the doctors office. He even got 3 shots and didn't cry! Travis is a sweet boy. He loves to play and ALWAYS wants to play something with a ball... basketball, catch, or baseball. He is a very happy boy and is always telling you how much he loves you. He loves parties and loves to be on the go. He is always asking what we are doing that day and wants to plan out a little agenda. We love you Travis!
Family day at the beach!
We went with Jeremy, Brieann, Kylee, Austin and Uncle John. It was fun and of coarse the boys went body boarding!
Me and Tyler at the beach!

Checking out Corona Del Mar tide pools. We found some cool crabs!

Dad even found a star fish!
Fun times at the beach!

May 2011
We had so much fun in May! Lots of fun hanging out with our families. Travis and Tyler are growing so big and are such sweet boys! It is fun to watch them grow and try new things! Here are the fun things we did in May......
Over Mother's Day weekend Grandma and Grandpa Murdock rented a cabin in Big Bear for a little family get-a-way! It was a lot of fun. This is a picture of our family at the shops.
Grandma Murdock and Lacey at the shops!Eating ice-cream downtown. They had the smallest little cones for the kids...it was darling! It was really fun to be with Jeremy, Brieann, Kylee and Austin again!

Riding the alpine slides! Travis even got to drive. He was so thrilled!
Our family at Big Bear Lake. Believe it or not, it was a little chilly near the lake!
All of the cousins in the cabin! I wished I would have gotten more pictures of everybody and a picture of the cabin. We had such a fun time. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Murdock!
So Aunt Cara told us about a little kit you could buy at Target to watch butterflies hatch from their cocoons. We bought the kit, ordered the caterpillars, and watched the whole process everyday until they turned into butterflies. It was so fun! The boys were so thrilled once the butterflies had hatched. They were beautiful!
Travis really loved watching the butterflies.
Kylee's 2nd birthday party! This was the only picture I got. Happy Birthday Kylee!
Uncle Clayton graduated from USC dental school. We went to his graduation and toured the USC campus and dental school. It was fun. Yay Clayton! We are so proud of you!
So, one day we walked to the dollar store for fun and bought 3 water guns...for the boys of coarse. When dad got home from work they had a water fight in the apartment while I was cooking dinner.....Of coarse I didn't think it was a good idea, but dad did!
Tyler in his little Toy Story 3 boots. Thanks Aunt Alissa for the boots. They are adorable and he loves seeing BUZ and WOODY on the boots. They even light up!
Tyler's 18 month check up! I had to take a picture in his little gown. Tyler is a sweet little boy and is full of energy. He wants to do and try anything that Travis does. He tries so hard to talk but can only say about 5 words. He loves cars and trucks and running after Travis. We love you Tyler!
Tyler picked up Travis' old scooter one day and started riding it at the park. I was so surprised that at 18 months old he could actually do it. It was darling!

We celebrated Travis' 4th birthday early while visiting Grandma and Grandpa Clark on Memorial Day weekend. Cara's family was down from Utah too. We had lots of fun!
Travis with his presents...new basketball sandals, How to Train Your Dragon DVD and a new remote controlled car. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Clark!
Our delicious Memorial Day picnic! Celebrating in Palmdale with Cara's family, Uncle John and Grandma and Grandpa Clark of coarse!
All of the cousins at the picnic...Tyler, Avery, Sydney, Travis and Camden!

APRIL 2011
I am finally getting around to catching up on my blog! It has been so busy these last few months but I wanted to keep track of ALL of the FUN things we did in April! Hope you enjoy seeing all of the pictures!
Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma and Grandpa Murdocks!
It's been so fun since Jeremy and Brieann are back from PA! The boys love having cousins and the Easter Egg Hunt was so fun!!
Travis with Aunt Lacey!
Travis and Tyler hanging out in their PJ's watching cartoons! My mom and dad get a little rocking chair for each grandchild when they turn 1 and they are so cute! The boys love pulling out their chairs to watch a show!
We headed to the famous PHILLIPES in LA for a french-dipped sandwiches. They were delicious! We met John and my mom and dad there. It was LOTS of fun!
We headed to Tri-City Park one Monday night since I did not have to work! We picked up Uncle John, some KFC, and of coarse a soccer ball and baseball! We had a blast!
We made little Easter treats! I have always wanted to try and make the little birds nest with eggs for a fun Easter treat. I remember a primary teacher giving me a little birds nest one year for Easter and I loved it! So, I found the recipe, and the boys and I gave it a try!
My good friends Kristine and Robin had a little Easter Egg Hunt in the park one Friday morning for the kids! It was so fun! We all pitched in for the Easter Eggs and all brought a little treat or snack to share. It was lots of fun and Travis and Tyler had a blast!
We spent Easter weekend with my mom and dad in Palmdale! The night before Easter we dyed our eggs!

Tyler and Grandma!
This year Travis really loved dying the eggs! So fun!

The boys with their baskets on Easter morning....YES, the Easter bunny made it even to Palmdale!

At the end of the season, all of the kids got a little trophy and Travis thought this was the BEST! It was fun to watch him play each week and he did a GREAT job! We love you Travis!
