LOVE San Diego

For our anniversary, Shaun and I decided on a weekend in San Diego. It was relaxing and fun! We went to the Maritime Museum, and toured all the boats.. even got to see one of them being brought back from repaired with a big ceremony and everything. We played on the beach, ate at Joe's Crab Shack (SOOOO good!) and took a midnight stoll on the beach collecting sandollars and shells for the kids. It was nice to relax and sleep in for a couple days!

My big Ice cream cone!

1st day of FIRST Grade!!

Well Jillian is officially a FIRST grader!! Her teacher is nice as can be and Jillian loves her!

Here's a few pics of her first day..

First we'll start with Meet the Teacher night.

Here's her class list outside her classroom. She went from "Joralmon's Jaguars" to a "Fantastic Frog".

And since the school was still under construction, the classrooms were closed, but here's Jillian Lucas and Shaun all checking out inside Jillian's classroom.

The first day has arrived!!

First Saturday Home Depot Trip

On the first Saturday of every month, Home Depot does a kids workshop. The kids get aprons (to keep and bring back), and then get their project. When they're done with their project they get an acheivment pin to put on their apron. Jillian has 3 (one from when HD came to her school to do a project) and Lucas has 2. They love to put on their aprons and the love putting the pin on it when they're done. Jillian (with a littel guidance) does the project mostly on her own, and Lucas just loves to hammer...everything.. even if it doesn't need it.. he wants to hammer..

Here's our last trip.. Message Boards. Next month bean bag toss game!

Here is daddy giving jillian some lessons
