Legoland too!!!

Group shot in front of Legoland.

This was the only day that we had overcast weather, but it worked to our advantage, because there were so few people there.

The kids got soaked in the water park area.

Lucy and lego spongebob, there were so many amazing creations made out of Legos there!!!

There is also a new section called Sea Life.

It was so cool. The kids had a great time looking at all of the sea creatures mixed with Lego creations.

Pancho being attacked by a Lego Polar Bear!

Fulton Family Mini-Reunion!

We felt very lucky that most of the Fultons were able to meet at Sulie and Joseph's house for an impromptu family reunion. We didn't give them much notice or time to work around our schedule, but almost everyone made it anyway! We were missing Pancho's sister Joy who lives in Texas. It was so great to see everyone who made it though!

Castle Grandma & and Grandpa Joe with the kids.

Feeding the Koi fish in Grandma's beautiful backyard.


Swimming in the hot tub.
The kids also got in the big pool which has been converted to a HUGE Koi Pond and swam with the fish!


Aunt Kathy (Pancho's sister) was so nice to let us all stay at her house in Riverside.
Fabian and Melissa actually braved Disneyland with us for a day!
It was so much fun to spend time with all of them!




Pancho with his brothers (Rob & Dennis), sisters (Kathy & Becky), mom, step dad, niece (Megan) and nephew (Michael)

Oh Wow! I got a picture to work!

My adorable new nephew Finn!

I am an AUNTIE!!!!! (again)

My brother Kevin and my sister in law Kate had their first baby today! I have been trying for about 1/2 hour to get the pictures that they emailed to me, to go on to my BLOG, but I am giving up!!! So instead, here is the info they sent us!


Finn Morzenti Murray arrived at 6:45 AM on Sunday, June 14th, weighing 7 pounds, 10 ounces and measuring 19.5 inches in length. Both mom and baby are doing well and we're already adjusting to our new life as a three-person family! We'll have blog updates soon -- stay tuned!

Stayed tuned . . . my next few Blog posts will be from Disneyland!!!! We leave the day after tomorrow for a one week trip to D-land and Legoland!

Max's 10th Birthday!!!

The Whole Gang

Ben, Spencer, Cade, Max and Connor

There was a lot of goofing around!
Boys this age are so funny to me, I guess that I had better get used to it though,
This is about the age that I will be teaching next year!

Max, blowing out the candles on his ice cream cake at Papa's Pizza.

Opening presents. . .
10 year old boys are very hard to buy for, so he ended up getting a lot of gift cards and ca$h (which he LOVED)
Grammy and Papa gave him 2 DS games and we gave him 1.

Then we went Bowling!
Go Ben!

Lucy and I hanging out at the Bowling Alley watching those crazy Boys!

This was a group shot, they all worked together to get the ball down the lane.

Group Photo of the Bowlers!


Connor, Max and Spencer



Ben, Max and Cade
After Bowling we went to Putters to play games.
Max won 800 tickets on one game, so he shared them with all of his friends (even his brother) and let everyone pick out a prize . . . so cute!

O'Hara Field Day/Last Day of School!

O'Hara always has Field Day on the Last Day of School.

It is always a lot of fun to watch the kids go from activity to activity around the Field.

I can't believe that this year is over, it went by so fast!

Calder, Max, Jaren and Claire B.

The winning team!

Connor, Max and Brendan


Lucy "does NOT like to RUN!" so field day is not her favorite day of the year.
(I wonder where she gets that from?)

Max's class had a Blast throwing balls about 30 ft in the air with the parachute.

Max and Jaren were partners in the three legged race.

Lucy and Mrs. Demers . . . her wonderful Pre-K teacher.

Lucy and Mrs. Foerster

. . . Mrs. Foerster is the aide and other teacher in her class

Lucy absolutely adored both of her teachers this year and she will miss them both.

Max had a great 3rd grade year with Mrs. Tendick.

I love it that she posed with him like this, she knows my boy well

He is not a Big Hugger!

Sam's School Carnival

This is a peek at the activities, there was actually a lot to do and see there for a little gradeschool carnival.

Lucy went to talk to the Firemen and she got this sticker. She also got to ride on the Firetruck and sit in the drivers seat!

Sam and Cam had so much fun on this slide! They went on it about 20 times!

Jeffrey, Cameron, Jacob and Sam . . . Sammys best buddies at school!


I was really impressed with the Springcreek Carnival put on by the PTA as a Fundraiser for the school. I worked at Sam's class's Henna Tatoo Booth for a shift while the kids ran around on the playground, then we went to the book fair, and visited all kinds of fun booths where the kids could win prizes etc. It was so much fun!

Pre-school Fathers Day Celebration!

Lucy's preschool class also has a Fathers Day celebration! I was not allowed to go, but I had to sneak in and take a few pictures before it started.

Lucy was so excited to have her Daddy come to her classroom!

Pancho wanted her to do a "Gang Sign" picture with him.
. . . so appropriate for the Catholic School!



Donnie and Ethan (doing his Gang Sign).



The Daddies wearing their crowns with their proud preschoolers.



Lucy drew this picture of her Daddy!





This is what Lucy said about her Dad


My Dad is special because . . . he always likes to wrestle with me!


I like it when my Dad . . . gives my Mom money to spend! (I love my girl, we have so much in common, I like that too!)


I like to make my Dad smile by . . .hugging and kissing him.


My Dad's favorite thing to do is . . .throw me in the air and tickle me!


My Dad is smart, he even knows how to . . . kiss my Mommy!


I think my Dad is . . . very Handsome (me too!)


So cute, I Love this!

O'Hara's Spring Program and Art Show!

Each Spring O'Hara has an Art Show and the kids put on a program and sing songs.

These are some samples of Lucy's Art. I am sure that you see a very talented artist when you look at this picture, just as we do!

Lucy also had a very important part in the Pre-K part of the program. She was the "G" in BINGO! What a little star we have on our hands! It was soooo cute!

Max was "thrilled" to be dressed up in a tie and singing songs in O'Hara's extremely hot gym . . . NOT! We enjoy watching him suffer though ha ha - just kidding!


After the program, everyone ran outside to play and cool off. Then we went to Dairy Queen with Grammy and Papa to celebrate!

Sam's 2nd Grade Portfolio Party!

Sam's class had an end of the year party. Each student displayed a portfolio full of samples of their school and art work from throughout the year. He was so proud of all of his hard work, and we are so proud of him. He has had such a great year at his new school this year, and it was fun to visit his classroom.

Each table group has it's own fish and snail aquarium that they are responsible for. Sam LOVES animals and sea life, so this was something he was very excited to show us!

Proud Dad and Sam!


Sam and his VERY proud Mommy!

Trampoline Fun!!!

We had a great weekend last weekend, but unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of most of it! On Saturday evening we had a little impromptu BBQ at our house. We invited my Mom and Dad over, but then got to thinking that the kids would probably like to have some other kids to play with, so we gave the McCarthys and the Hakalas a last minute call. Luckily, the McCarthys were free and came right on over with dessert in hand! Christy and Donnie had plans, but their kids didn't! So we invited Nat, Ben and Ethan over too. We had just gotten a new trampoline, so the kids had a BLAST jumping and playing in the trampoline all evening, while the adults enjoyed a delicious BBQ, drinks and a few laughs too! It was so funny to see the kids just beat red and sweaty from playing so hard on the trampoline (I tried it myself, its good exercise)!

On Sunday afternoon, Gary and Steph invited us to their house for a BBQ. I just love this weather and being outside enjoying all of this delicious food! Summer is so much fun! The kids had a great time running round in Hoffmans HUGE backyard, and we always have a great time hanging out with Gary and Steph!

Here are the only pictures that I took this weekend of our new trampoline . . . wish I would have remembered to take more!
