Ella's 2nd Birthday and California Dreamin'

So I am back to reality after four days in California, eating out every meal, and just relaxing, and of course learning! It was a blast but I must say that I truly missed eating at home, chasing kids around, and sleeping in my own bed. I missed Joey and the kids like crazy but it was a great experience and I learned so much about Response to Intervention, PLC's, Campus Culture, and so much more! On Sunday, our group decided to rent a car and head to San Francisco which was an hour from Sacramento. It was beautiful and the weather was AMAZING. It was in the 60's and 70's as the HIGH! I was freezing in San Francisco but enjoyed the sights and the food. Here are some pictures from that day trip:





I texted this to Joey...if you have ever seen Big with Tom Hanks you would think it's cool

alcatraz



seals/sea lions....??   they were so cute

Sacramento was very pretty and had a lot of things to see and it was nice to walk everywhere!

Huge trees everywhere!

I definitely enjoyed it even though it was for work and hope to one day go back but maybe southern cali.

Before I left, our beautiful girl turned 2 and had a Donuts and Pj's party mixed with her favorite movie Tangled. It turned out great and the kids had fun....and most importantly....Ella loved it!!

So we had a great weekend and look forward to a relaxing next week with family, the fourth, and then I will be heading to NYC in a couple of weeks! I feel like summer is flying by! as if I haven't left you with an extreme amount of pictures, I will leave you with some from today! They will melt.your.heart!
2 year check up and 2 shots... : (  50th percentile in everything and doing just great...especially her talking....she told them. "I don't like it" many times.

Grayson LOVES being a big brother....he is the best. He was helping feed her ice cream and then we shopped at Carter's and he wanted a BIG Brother shirt because he said he loves being one. Sweetest kid ever or what???
