Seedling Sunflower 1

Mike and Jessica started seedling sunflowers at the end of February.  Mike has been documenting their growth.  Here Jessica is on April 16 with one of them.

Once they pop out of the dirt they grow rapidly!!

Almond Blossom Carnival

I'm trying to get caught up with everything!  It's quite a chore.  February in Ripon always means Almond Blossom.  There are blossoms everywhere and allergies are going crazy.

It also brings the fun of the parade and the carnival.

Usually the weather is pretty crisp.  This year it was a little bit chilly so we all had our sweatshirts on.  Sunny California can get quite cold in the winter months.

Jessica and Madison had lots of fun riding rides and spending A LOT of money to try to earn a giant banana that they never received.

Mama-In-Laws Big B-day

I've been terrible about finding the time to blog lately.  I am at least 2 months behind!  In February we celebrated Mike's moms birthday.  We had dinner at Johnny Carino's then she had a fun time opening presents and having cake.

Nanny and Jessa

 Lots of love in her cards.

 What could possibly be in here?

Windy By the Sea

Jess enjoyed playing at the Marina after a little jaunt to the Bay.

Mike and I stayed in the car after a few minutes because we were SO cold.  She didn't seem to mind it all!  Kids!
