Bailey Got Her Ears' Pierced!

We had Bailey's friend from preschool, Taylor, and her family over for dinner on Saturday night. Bailey was so enamored with Taylor's earrings, that she finally decided that she wanted hers pierced. We met Taylor and her mom at the mall on Wednesday and Bailey went through with it. Here is the piercing it pictures!

She's starting to get a bit nervous...
Ouch! Yep, it hurts a bit.

What just happened? It's all over.

Smiles all around. She did it!
Peace sign earrings for our little girl.

A Day at the Races

The Tuna Club once again hosted a day at Santa Anita Race Track. I didn't get our yearly picture in front of the ice sculpture. But, this year since Colby is on the board, he got to go down for the Tuna Club sponsored race. He is third from the left. Kind of fun, huh?

My Parents are on Vacation...

So yes, that means we have 4 dogs for two weeks!

I think they all want in!

Dr. Seuss Day

I volunteered to read to the kindergarten classrooms for Read Across America Day. As a fundraiser, the school sold Cat in the Hat inspired hats. Of course, Raif also wanted to wear one for this special day.

Raif is still wearing his hat, daily!

One of the grandparents even dressed up as the Cat in the Hat. She was wonderful! So quirky and funny.

A Horse Visits Preschool

One of the parents at Raif's preschool owns a horse and brought Hollywood in for a visit at preschool. All of the kids got to take a turn feeding the horse. It was quite a treat for the kids.

Happy 6th Birthday Reagan

While Colby and I were gone this weekend, Bailey got to go to Knott's Berry Farm with her best friend Reagan to celebrate her birthday. Reagan got to take 3 of her friends to celebrate with her. Sarah and Aaron took all of the kids for a fun day at Knott's!

Wine Tasting in Paso Robles

We went up this past weekend for a fun wine tasting in Paso Robles. Yvette's boys dad owns a bed and breakfast up their and we went to stay for the weekend. There were four rooms and 8 of us, so we pretty much had run of the place. We started the day off with target shooting, and then headed off to four vineyards. We had beautiful weather and such a great time.

The first winery, Dauo, had a beautiful view

The chairs were made from old wine barrels

We could not have asked for better weather

Curtis and Yvette are members of the wine club, so we had special seating

Curtis and Yvette set up a drive for us for the day

This little guy was adorable

Lago Giuseppe was our third stop

The boys somehow managed to convince the owner that they should be able to fish for some bass

Colby got his hook stuck in the tree, there are no trees out in the middle of the ocean!

Miles is a pro bass fisherman, he caught the only fish!

Curtis and Yvette set up a private chef back at the bed and breakfast

Our menu for the night

The salad was so delicious

I somehow missed a picture of the main course, but dessert was delicious.

Disneyland Stay

Bailey decided about a year ago that she didn't want a birthday party this year, but instead she wanted to go stay at the Disneyland Hotel and go to Disneyland. The four of us packed up our stuff and headed over for two fun days at the park. Raif was 40 inches by a few strands of hair, so we were able to ride on so many of the fun rides at both parks.

Bailey was so excited to see the new Little Mermaid ride.
Bug's Life

Bumper cars are always fun

We saw Mulan after lunch

Raif loved the swings, so we rode them twice

Bailey loved them too!

A little fun on some slides

Raif's turn

We had great front row seats for the parade!

Bailey still loves the princesses!

We only had to wait about 15 minutes to see them!

And, she got to see her favorite, Ariel!

A little dinner at the Uva Bar

I think we were all a little tired by then, but we did manage to see the fireworks!

Back at the hotel, Bailey got a birthday cake towel surprise!

A few chocolates before bed.

Breakfast the next morning

Per Bailey's request, breakfast in bed

The weather was starting to turn on us

Love Vidia's sassy look

Tinkerbell

While Bailey was seeing the fairies, Raif and Colby snuck over to the rockets

Yup, all four of us on Space Mountain!

It was raining pretty hard while we were on Dumbo
