Senior Trip - California Adventure

Good Morning!! We are ready for another fun filled day in California Adventure.

Headed to the park

Homeless lady yelled at Dave & Ryder

claiming she had a gun. We quickly walked away and left

her still yelling.

Cars Ride

First ride of the day. To avoid the long line forming.

We quickly moved to the single rider line.

Fun Time

We found Mater

Matching Luigi shirts

Our influencer giving instructions

for a better picture.

New Avengers Land

We unknowly walked into a a street show.

Kind of lame.

Waiting for another show

for Spiderman.

This one was a little better

Until we figured out that all the flips and turns

were done by a robot of some sort.

Rylee & Riley

Let's ride the Pixar Pal Around Ferris Wheel

Who wants the moving gondola?

Not us!!

The wait was almost an hour longer.

We were starving and needed to pick up our Barilla Tacos (Amazing)

Headed out!!

It was chilly again or rather I was freezing. A quick stop for sweatshirt helped for the walk back. Not sure it was worth the $60 price tag. It did keep me warm. Everyone is tired and ready to maybe get some sleep.

Senior Trip - Disneyland

We are off to Disneyland for Ryder's Senior Trip. 

Wait a minute...Isn't it June?

Yes, that's ice on the window.

We finally made it and the weather is much better here.

Influencer Roo

Sunglasses all around.

We need to work on our smiles.

Star Wars Land

Not what I imagined

Busted!!

Star Wars Hat that he just couldn't pass up.

He disappeared and this is where we found him.

Pocahontas

She was the only princess we found today.

Have we rode this before?

I don't think so.

It amazes me that we can still find new stuff to do

after so many visits.

We are all on the submarine

ready to find Nemo.

Love her shorts and all the ruffles.

That's a wrap for our first day. Everyone is exhausted and ready to crash at the hotel. Tomorrow is another adventure at California Adventure.

Summer Vacation Time

Hello June!! It's time for some fun and what better fun than traveling. Reganne bought tickets for another K-pop concert in Los Angeles. Her friends were unable to join her so she asked Ryder to go. He was all for getting out of town and having some fun. He made all the travel plans and they were off.

The stadium is filling up.

Lunch at the airport

Remember the last trip to London

We ate here.

I am at home baking of course

Yummy banana muffins.

The kids had fun on their quick trip. Ryder even enjoyed the concert experience. The music wasn't half bad either.

It's great to see them have fun together.

Odds & Ends of May

Fun snaps from a busy month.

I spy a Raggedy Ann

Who do you know that would want this for their collection?

Not Rylee that's for sure.

A picture is good enough for me.

Shutterfly Memory

Reganne & the Pink Pirates Soccer Team

They all look so little.

Ranger aka "Swiffer"

If only he would lay still while I pull him around the tile.

Ryder's final yearbook

FOUND!!

Picture was in with the juniors.

Grease Monkey Parking Lot

Waters' cars all in a row

Truck, PT Cruiser, Camry, and the Monte Carlo

I bet my driveway looks pretty empty right now.

Free Smoothie Day

This is the right size for me. 

Too bad they don't actually sell this size.

Nice treat for a warm spring afternoon.

Family Night

@ Tuachan watching Little Mermaid

Good show made even better with $20 seats.

Back in Hollywood

Ryder was a good sport going with Reganne to another K-Pop Concert 

in LA. This bench/couch is a perfect place to take a quick nap in the sun.

It's been a wild and crazy month with so many life changing events. The kids are growning up and spreading their wings. This momma is cheering from the sidelines and trying not to be one of those helicopter moms. Not sure if I'm suceeding or not.

Look Who Is Having A Birthday

 

Miss Indy turned 3 years old

Mr. Ranger is 1 years old

Food!!

Ranger can see, smell food from a block away.

Mom!! Please!!

All 4 trying to sit still

long enough for Rylee to set the hot dogs down.

The food only lasted 10 seconds.

Old man Dexter was able to get a few bites.

Outside for another treat

frozen duck necks.

Ranger was in heaven

Dexter & Piper took a few licks and walked away.

Yard update

The rock is spread.

They have done so much work and it shows.

Fun to take a break and celebrate these crazy puppies. Here's to another year full of adventures, treats, and sleepovers.

R&R Home Improvements

Rylee & Ruston are at it again improving their home. The project is their front yard.

The freshly scrapped yard

looks to much bigger.

Working hard putting down weed protection.

Fun to watch them work as a team.

Laying out new plants

The peanut gallery

keeping a close eye on all the changes.

This project has been fun to watch come together. They are an amazing team and teamwork makes the dreams work. Stay tune for updates.

Graduation Day!!

Good morning!! It's an early morning with graduation starting at 8:00 with the graduates needing to be in place by 7:00. This is so different than Reganne's big day. We arrive around 7:30 to jam packed parking lots and the stands almost filled. We finally found seats on the front row of the stadium. Ryder left his candy leis at home for me to bring. However, it was beyond me on how to meet up with him. All the hard work is going to melt in the morning sun.

Good seats to be able to see.

It's officially over

Hats & streamers thrown.

Pretty cool picture!!

All 3 high school graduates

The swim team supporting 

Hunter & Ryder

Ryder & Kasen

Kasen also graduated but didn't want to walk.

He came to support Ryder.

Family support

Ryder & Grandma

Another friend that came out to support him.

Love this picture!!

Texted to me. I am so grateful that someone snapped it

and even better they shared it with me.

Graduate Lunch

Sumo Shabu Shabu & Korean BBQ

The kids loved it.

I'm more unsure.

You have to cook your own food as they bring it too your table.

The morning went by really fast. Ryder is now a high school graduate!! I surprised myself with very few tears more smiles.

Good luck Ryder with all your new adventures. We are so proud of you!!
