Roughing it at Sequoia

We decided to go camping in Sequoia this Memorial Day weekend. We took my nephew Alex with us and we had such an awesome time. The weather was perfect and the scenery was breath taking. Despite contrary belief, I survived without my blow dryer.

This was our view from the camp site

Mother's Day

Our build a bears

This Mother's Day was so beautiful and memorable.  I got to sleep in!!!  We had lunch at one of my favorite hole in the wall places.  After lunch we headed to Downtown Disney and did a little shopping.  The best part of my day was when we came across the build a bear store.  Both Jared and I went in and built our own bears.  It was so much fun.  I made a pirate hello kitty and Jared made a Charger's dog.

Grandpa Time

Three generations of Phillips'

This year we have all had the opportunity to spend some quality time with Tim's dad Dave.  We are truly thankful that Dave has become a part of our lives again.  Jared loves going to grandpa Dave's house to play with his chihuahuas.

Jared's Birthday!!

This year Tim and I decided to surprise Jared by taking him out of school early and head over to Disneyland.  He had no idea where we were taking him until he saw the Matterhorn mountain off the freeway.  He was so excited and said he had the "coolest parents ever".  We had such an amazing time.

Is he a ham or what?

They're too cute!

Time to call it a night.
