Brian and Christina's Shower

On Saturday, Colby and I, along with our friends Frank and Mary Murphy, threw a couples shower for our dear friends Brian and Christina. They are going to be blessed with twins, a boy and a girl. We loaded up the kids and drove out to San Diego to throw the shower there, since Christina has been put on bed rest. We had a lot of fun visiting with old friends. I didn't get a chance to take pictures, but Mary did and pictures will follow.

Day at Disneyland

We got there on a shift change so Bailey got to see Pocahontas and Snow White
We finally meet Pocahontas
A fun picture of Bailey's eyes

Yesterday we went to Disneyland with Sarah, Reagan, Paige and Nani Shirley. Their passes run out this weekend, so we were trying to finally get together to go at the same time. Although, I'm petitioning for them to renew so we can all go together for another year. We had a great time riding the rides, and Bailey, Raif and I stayed a while after they left to go and see the princesses. It paid off because Bailey finally got to meet Pocahontas. Raif also had fun riding on It's a Small World. He is mesmerized by the entire ride.

May Day Pictures cont.

My front door decoration. A bit of an after thought since I got so wrapped up in the play date I forgot to get flowers for the door.

Sarah tried to get the five of them to take a picture with their flowers...at least they're all in there.

Naples Island has a yearly tradition of decorating your front door to honor May Day. When I got the flyer I was inspired to have a May Day Play Date for Bailey and a few friends. What started as a small play date turned into a bit bigger of a party. I thought how fun it would be to include the grandma's for the play date, since they don't always get to see their grandkids interact with other kids. We had a great time with 11 kids in total and 10 adults...a pretty good ratio. The kids got to color flower pictures, make a lei (I was reaching out to my Hawaiian roots since May Day is Lei Day in Hawaii), and plant a flower. We had beautiful weather to picnic outside and the kids all had a wonderful time.
