Running

We have fished, eaten smores and lasagna, and watched Blake compete in the first annual fun run.  We love the RV and checked out the RV rental booth and decided renting one is way more time and cost efficient in the long run!  Andrew is gearing up for his big race on Sunday.  I forgot our Hurst Cowbell so my voice will get lost in the crowd.

Miles

Loaded up the RV for fun times ahead.  Is everyone getting ready for the Royal Wedding?

Starring

Andrew's nephew Nick is a YouTube star. Here he is portraying a "Weekend At Bernie's"-like character. Relax, sit back, and enjoy the show:



Two thumbs up! Nick - I loved your dead person acting. Brett - You were made for the movies.

Easter

We went up to Oakhurst to pick up Ellen and David's RV for Andrew's triathlon. We had great plans for a community Easter egg hunt, but the rain kept us at home.

Ready for the big day, but no where to go. Reade looks on as his brother teaches him how to eat a chocolate bunny:


The boys are now sick so it is only a matter of time before we are all infected. Hopefully, Andrew will take an IOU on this disease so he can compete in his triathlon with 100% health.

Friends

Don't forget to swing by See's candies to pick up some Easter friends. You too can friend each one of these bunnies on Facebook. Ridiculous:

Eggs are being boiled, cupcakes are in the oven, and I am this close (imagine my pinched fingers) to opening the See's candy box I bought for Easter Sunday.

Ardenwood

We met up with some friends to enjoy the spring time air at Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont. The weather and company was great!

Running around hay bales:

The chickens were nice enough to send us home with fresh eggs:


Reade loves ramps that pose any kind of danger:

Done

The last month tuition, deposit, and materials fee are in so my child is officially enrolled in preschool. This preschool is the perfect fit for us and Blake ran around like a chicken without a head when we dropped off his enrollment packet. He went so crazy he ended up taking a nap at 11:30am that morning after we got home. Good sign! The teachers are great, it is play based, and the majority of the day is spent playing in two, huge play areas. Oh, and they have an animal farm section. This preschool costs less than the majority of the ones I visited. I do have to drive 15-20 minutes each way, but hopefully it will be worth it?

Montecito Preschool here we come:

The original sign made by the father who founded the school. Their daughter now runs the school:


Each schoolroom looks like a little house/cottage:


They have an aviary, chicken coop, and iguana enclosures. The iguana went to a lizard rescue so they are trying to figure out what fun, farm animal should take its place:



August 23rd will be an exciting day around here.
