memorial day fun

Gabe and i had a simple and fun memorial day this year (much better than our last couple memorial days...)

we went to the mall and did a little shopping and lunching. it was such a beautiful day, so we decided to keep the fun going with a quick trip to Disneyland (gotta love having the deluxe pass!)

after Disneyland we decided it would be a perfect end to our day to have a bbq and make s'mores. we headed to the store and got the necessary fixin's to have a delicious bbq.

the s'mores part was especially fun because Gabe had never made them before! (how is that possible??) so, i coached him on how to do it and we made some delicious, gooey s'mores!!

Hope everyone else had a wonderful Memorial Day!!

choo choo, i like you.

a couple sundays ago, we had Emily over for craft time. we were so excited to do this adorable train craft with her! when we went to the craft store, there were SO many different things to choose from, we were having trouble deciding which would be best. gabe zeroed in on this adorable train. each piece is sold separately (for about $0.50/each) and you can spell out whatever you like.

Gabe was very maticulous about his letter (the Y). in the time he painted one, emily and i painted all the rest!

it was a great craft and we had so much fun working together. the final product is so cute!!!
