Our BIG Adventure

California, here we come! California Adventure, that is.

Pluto stopped by to say Hi!

Logan and I took the plunge at Tower of Terror And we buzzed around A Bug's Land mmmmm.... HOT cocoa!

Logan and I also flipped over California Screaming!

While Caden rode the carousel...5 times

Jessie caught us on the boardwalk...YeeHaw!And last but not least, our end of the day pic, the sign of a good day. Of course, did you notice Caden's in a different shirt...yeah, he threw up...for some reason the Van Pelt boys need to vomit when Walt is involved.

Our little basket case

Caden started resisting naps, especially on the weekends when he has Daddy and Logan to play with (yes, I must be very boring)

Here is the result of his resistance.

Got a recipe for carrots and basil?

We started our planting! Last summer we enjoyed the most delicious tomatoes and plums. You may recall our previous stories, here and here We didn't have as much luck with our herb garden, a few sprigs of basil and cilantro is about all we grew. So this year, we moved our garden to a sunnier spot. So far we have carrots, basil and sunflowers with cucumbers in the old spot. Our tomato plant seems to be coming back or at least the seeds from the millions of dropped tomatoes is getting ready to start again.

I plan to get some lettuce growing too. YUMMY!

Help Find Chelsea King

Update: As you all know, this ended in the worse case scenario...so very sad, so very preventable and unbelievable. My heart goes out to her family and friends. I know for many of my colleagues at PHS, this has been an extremely emotional time, offering support and love to their students while they deal with their own sense of loss. Stay strong, my friends. Your efforts are appreciated by all.

Junior Harry Potter shares Buddy♥ Love♥

It's just a bit past noon right now and Buddy is exhausted! Caden really LOVES Buddy...if Buddy was younger, they would be bestest of friends. Instead, Buddy tolerates Caden and Caden takes full advantage of it... Caden found Logan's Harry Potter glasses this morning and apparently had to share his adorableness. 0

(doesn't Buddy look THRILLED?)

Then the glass went back on, UPSIDE DOWN :)

Fast Forward to lunch time. While I was fixing sandwiches, I looked over to find Caden standing on the laundry basket. He had overturned the basket which was full of freshly folded blankets and towels.

Now take a closer look!

Buddy is in the basket!!

poor Buddy! and I guess I'm re-washing those towels and blankets :(
