Easter Party

Then after Easter, MOMS Club had their Easter party.

Gracie really, really loved having her face painted...

 And Jack absolutely loved the end result...

 And you have to love your mom friends because they ask if you want a picture with your kiddos - and really, how often does that happen?

 Then there was one more egg hunt...

Happy Easter everyone!

The Mom's Club Christmas Party

We read stories,

Made edible crafts,

 Got presents from Santa,

And had a great time! Merry Christmas!

A Fun Playdate...

This was at a splash pad... The kids had a great time with their good friends - I'm so glad we get to make memories together everyday!

Beach Day

We hit the road and caravaned (4 cars) all the way to Long Beach from Chino Hills... I had to lead and in all honesty, I am shocked that we actually made it! The kids really enjoyed this spot. There were no waves, plenty of parking and good friends!

MOMS Club...

Family Day Picnic Amy's Farm: The kids LOVE animals and had a great time at the farm! They got to feed a pig.The pig got some mud on Gracie's finger - she still talks about how "yucky" it was. There's a beautiful organic farm, the kids were encouraged to harvest all of the herbs. They got to see a huge cow and check out the petting zoo. The highlight of the trip was getting to milk a cow. Jack tried twice, with no luck. I did it (for the first time in my life). But Grace was too disgusted by the flies - she could not handle it. :) But she did like grooming a real life My Little Pony.

Irvine Park Pumpkin Patch

In case you haven't had enough Halloween (I know we have) we headed over to the Irvine Park Pumpkin Patch for a play date (right after the Mommy & Me party)! The first thing they did was ride the horses because that is now their favorite thing to do! I was not anticipating riding horses and changed her out of her costume, bad mommy! How cute would that picture have been? Then they played in the pumpkin patch for a while, got lost in the hay maze, bounced in the bounce house and checked out the haunted house! Look how much he has grown in a year! My little monsters! Jack and Raveyn on their way to the haunted house...

MOMS Club Halloween Party

Monday marked our second Halloween party! The kids had a chance to get their face painted, bowl, eat tons of yummy food and of course there was a parade! Grace fell asleep on the way there: But ended up having a great time with all the girls... Jack had a great time with his buddies too - though, boys don't stop for pictures! Happy Halloween!!!

St. Jude Trike-A-Thon

The kids participated in their first official act of charity... The MOMS Club organized a trike-a-thon to benefit the children of St. Jude. Jack and Grace received a few donations and then rode like the wind! It's a wonderful program, if you are looking to organize an event for your pre-school group, this organization would be well worth your hard work. Best of all, the kids are helping kids! It was really easy and as a club we raised over $600.00! We have all the way until Friday, so if you want to contribute, there is still time! When I asked Jack what he thought about helping other kids that are sick, he said that "it's good." Then we told him that those kids don't have money to go to the doctor and he said "why?" (I told you Joy School has really got him thinking)! But it made me wish I was him! Especially when we received the bill for his MRI today - it sure made me grateful for our insurance and for Jeremey working to earn it. We're so lucky in so many ways and it's a blessing to be reminded of it. Anyway, when it comes down to it, he thought it was a big race and said over and over that HE was going to WIN! Lining up... Jack and Milan... always together... Jack and Lila, she's in Joy School... These kids rode and rode and rode and we finally had to stop them! It was amazing, not one of them stopped of even slowed down, I think it could have gone on forever! Time to celebrate with a picnic! And all of the MOMS! Yay! PS. Look for us in the Chino Hills Champion - I wrote my first press release! and more pictures are here...
