Spring Break 2009!!!

So I know this post took a heck of a long time! We were having some technical difficulties with our computer and it not wanting to post some fabulous video of the kids playing their music. I had to have my fabulous and ever so computer savvy friend Erin come to my rescue, however the task was much more difficult than we had anticipated. I kept holding out hope that one day the computer was magically going to accept my videos which is why this post is about a month old now.....
Anyhow, one day I will get all the videos on this post and it will be like movie night for you followers because there will be so many. Stay tuned........


Our Spring Break started off with some fabulous weather so for that we had some good ole timin summer pool splashin fun!!!!

The good ole town of Murrieta has a once a year "block party" and carnival if you will. Yes, it is pretty cheesy, but it was somethin for the kids to do and what the heck, we have great city spirit!

I did have to take the kids to work with me a few times over spring break. They had mixed feelings about it. Keiley actually liked it after I trained her on the register and Drake....well, he never really liked it. They both however helped and made some tips out of the deal.

Drake is helping with prep, opening a can of olives (and yes, it is quite a struggle for a little guy, the can opener is quite a beast).

And Keiley making a pizza and working her cute self at the register. I am very blessed to have such helpful children and hopefully out of this lesson, I am teaching good work ethic. It is SO hard to find these days.

.....And the payoff at the end of the day...Thrifty ice cream from across the street.

Of course a BIG part of Spring Break is Easter.

We are lucky enough to have fabulous friends (that we call family) in Canyon Lake so we spent what was a very beautiful day relaxing and spending time with family.

Rick and the kids being goofy.

One day I took the kids to Painted Earth to paint some ceramics and here they are diligently working on their art. Drake was painting a dog and Keiley working on a plate.

The finished product before cooking them.

A friend of mine had some puppy pugs so my kids were dying to check them out.

I will admit, they are super cute and cuddley, but as they grow up....blah!

Haircuts was also a priority this Spring Break. And yes, they both go to a salon, at this age, mom does not do hair cuts anymore. They both care way too much about what they look like. And frankly, Ashley (the hairdresser does a way better job than me)
