May 2014

May was packed full with big events. It was Foster's first birthday, Mother's Day and a trip to Santa Barbara. But just to balance out the fun, it also included, major wild fires in San Diego, James caught roseola, Foster cut five teeth( 4 of them molars) and I got a sinus infection. Luckily, the good stuff was really good!

Fire Season Comes Early

We had record breaking temperatures and winds in the middle of May. And it was pretty much 0% humidity so it was not a big surprise that there were fires. What started as roadside brush fires turned into huge fires lasting about 3 days. Ani was evacuated for an evening but the rest of us were far enough away from the flames that we never had to evacuate. They say it's going to be a very long and intense fire season. Oh goody!

Foster's Birthday

I am going to an entire post on Foster's birthday party but we celebrated his actual birthday at Disneyland. It was our best day at Disneyland so far. No breakdowns and lots and lots of fun. Foster found his favorite present, the biggest lollipop Disney has to offer. The lollipop found it's way all over Foster's face and clothes! It was the perfect way to celebrate our magical little guy's first year. 

Trip to Santa Barbara

When you're on a trip time seems to go twice as fast. We had a great time in Santa Barbara; shopping, celebrating our  6th anniversary and celebrating LeeAnn's 60th birthday. Here are some of the highlights: bike ride on the beach, chalk festival and spending time with Aunt Jamie.  

While taking a walk around the neighborhood in Santa Barbara we came across this spooky house. It reminded me so much of the house in James the Brave! So excited to get going on this project!
