IDOL

Last year Kevin signed us up to go to the show.

And finally we were able to attend. We only got

tickets to the dress rehearsal But

It was AWE some it was so much fun we saw all the

Idols and Ryan Seacrest He is so nice and quick witted.

I though they all did a good job but the judges still burned

them. We missed the judges (man they have it easy)

but still so much fun! It was great to see how

much work goes into every show and amazing they can

pull it together in 3hrs! I'll never look at a live show again

on TV and not appreciate the hard work behind it.

And it was totally Free, nice. The ticket had a age limit of 14yrs

old. So our little Idol fan had to stay home. We ended up

taking Chloe who had a blast! No photo's they even take

your phones away from you but still so much fun!

Hoping that we don't have to

wait another year!

Monterey Bay Aquarium

This year we wanted to find a great family activity that both Brooke and the older kids could enjoy. And the Monterey Bay Aquarium is it! If you haven't been I strong suggest it! We are so excited to use this pass this summer! And I love any extra excuse to go to the beach!

Student of the Month

We are so proud of our big guy! Josh has always been such a good student but it took k-4th to get the Grand prize! in his own words "I was so surprised! I though if I hadn't gotten it by now it wasn't going to happen" Its so amazing how important this is to him, I had no idea it was something he thought about. (such a good mom I know) We are so blessed that he has such a great teacher this year! To round out such a great accomplishment Kevin surprised him by taking him to lunch. I'm sure he had great day that he'll always remember!
