112 onyx corona del mar

Daddy took you to Balboa Island to show you where he grew up at 112 onyx on balboa island. The picture here is with you and daddy and his little boat on his boat dock. He told you stories of how as a little boy he used to get in that boat and row around the bay fishing he loved it.

July 2013

At five years old you're so full of life. Your grandparents came to visit over fourth of July and we all had so much fun playing at the beach. You create new art every day and most of the pieces you say are for me because you love me so much, it melts my heart. We also grew carrots in our garden and you had so much fun picking your harvest.

You and I made a picture together today

Last day of kindergarten

You graduated from kindergarten

Wow, is it possible that my baby baby just graduated from kindergarten? Seems like just yesterday I was carrying you in my tummy. You had a fun kindergarten play for your graduation. The title was commissioned in the ocean and you were so excited to be the walrus. You started kindergarten early. you were just for years old you turned 5 on your birthday November 29th after school started in September. Technically you were considered a transitional kindergarten. and expected that you would have to repeat due to your age . However you have grown so much in this year of kindergarten both socially and academically and they decided to pass you along to first grade. You are so excited about this because you have the most wonderful friends. You are fiercely independent and yet still love your snuggle time. You wake up every morning and the first thing that you do is come into my room and you and I have special time and we snuggle. I cherish this time so much. You can hear it a good with your sister but at the end of the day the two of you love to be around each other and love playing together. you love to make up songs you love to make up dances you love to do gymnastics. you are a terrific soccer player and so so athletic. I think you get this part from your daddy. we are looking forward to a fun fun summer filled with beach time and play.
