Oodles of Photos...

Hello!! This April month has been full of fun warm weather activities!! After Nana and Papa were in town visiting we had our friends Ashlee and Logan over for about a week. It was great for Ella because she had a continuous play date the entire week along with new explorations that she usually doesn't do every week. We had a lot of fun which I'll give more descriptions with the photos below. 

Everything is going well here for the three of us. This previous week was a little rough with a stomach flu that continued to linger around the house up until now. Ella got sick on Tuesday with it then Jonah on Thursday and I thought I was out of the wing until Sunday right before church realizing it was my turn. Jonah and I agreed that the last time we can remember getting a stomach flu was while in elementary/middle school. I told him yesterday during my traumatic morning while curled up in the fetal position that it reminded me of birth pains. Luckily it seemed to be a 24 bug and we're all close to recovery. :)

These photos were taken Sunday the 19th; it was right after our visit to the Avocado Festival. Yes, lots of fresh yummy guacamole was available and the day was seriously up to 90-100 degrees. The little ones had a lot of fun playing with the sand box and swimming pool. 




Ashlee and I took Logan and Ella to the flower fields. They are located in Carlsbad, CA and are only available less than 3 months out of the year for viewing. It was absolutely beautiful; here are a few sample pics of our day spent there. 






Here are some cute photos of a trip taken down at the park near our house. We take Ella down there most nights after dinner. As you will see, she pretty much does everything without hesitation. She's very adventurous and self driven!! :)




We went to an aquarium close to San Diego. Ella loved it and enjoyed pointing at all the fishes!!




This was the night that Ashlee and Logan first arrived. We have a little table set up now where Ella enjoys eating her snacks at.

Easter Weekend Photos











We had a fun filled holiday weekend with Jonah's parents. Ella went for a little Easter egg hunt and we were able to catch a sunrise service in celebration Sunday morning. Afterwards we had a nice brunch at Mimi's Cafe and Ella got to open presents from the Easter bunny throughout the day.
