Memorial Day

We celebrated Memorial Day by inviting some family, friends and our youth group over for a barbeque. Aside from the wind it was a fun time! We ate good food, played some games, and Rigo set up his science show in our garage .






One of the best parts of the show was Debbie's reaction to it!










Avila Valley Barn


Our favorite place is back open for business! This past weekend we took a trip to Avila Valley Barn. It was the perfect day because the weather was nice and there wasn't the usual weekend crowd. Aubriella enjoyed it more than ever! She had so much fun watching the animals, walking from one pen to another calling the animals by name or saying their animal noise. Since Sunday she keeps reminding us about the "bok bok bok!" the turkey, horsie, dog...


We let Aubri lead the way for most of our time there, which meant we visited with the animals for quite some time and snuck lots of blueberries and grapes (don't worry we bought plenty of produce to make up for her stolen treats).


We took the tractor ride down to pick the juiciest, sweetest peaches.

Aubri usually doesn't want to eat or try anything, but she had so much fun picking the fruit she was brave enough to take a bite. After her first sticky taste she was hooked and we had trouble taking another picture without her face stuffed in the ripe fruit.















We have been eating fresh fruit and veggies all week and need to head back already to restock!

Why are boxes so much fun?

Exciting things around the corner!

Last month we took a long drive down south for some exciting events! It was a lot of hours in the car, but so worth it!


First we stopped in Ontario for a bridesmaid dress fitting for Stephanie and James' wedding! I can't believe the wedding is 3 months away! It was fun to see Steph, even for a bit. We will be wearing this dress in apple red.


Next we got to go to Kamryn's 1st birthday! A month later and Aubri still sings "Happy..to you! Happy..to you! Happy Kami! Happy to you!" Guess we got it stuck in her head singing it the 3 hours home.


I am so excited for the Lamb family who will be moving to Thailand next month. Their dream of becoming missionaries (and teaching overseas) is happening, and I know God is going to use them. But, I'm going to miss them! What a brave step of faith to leave everything behind and to start a new adventure serving the Lord.

Silly

I found these pictures from a few months ago (April!). Aubri and I were being extra silly and it was fun to see her understand instructions. She loves looking at the pictures on the screen after we take them, so it was so cute to hear her laugh after each funny shot and say "Again!"


"Say Cheese!"



"Kiss Mommy!"



"Say Ahhh!"



"Funny face!"

"Be Silly!"




Jose came home from work wondering what we were laughing about, so we made him join in on the fun!


Iti s ok to laugh at us. I know we are weird!

Caleb is 2!

I always feel so blessed when I see Aubri surrounded by all the cousins and friends her age! We got to attend the barnyard themed birthday for her little friend Caleb last month. It was so fun to see all the little tiny tots from church playing together! I couldn't help imagining them all growing up together, being in youth group, going to camp...


There was way to much cuteness here!
