Mission San Juan Capistrano

In our effort to visit all the California Missions after Alexa's 4th grade introduction to them, we took the train up to San Juan Capistrano and visited it's mission on Memorial Day Weekend.

Alexa's Violin Recital

Alexa played in her teacher's annual violin recital again this year. We would have posted the movie of her playing her piece, but the songs are getting quite long! She played from Suziki's Book #2 which she has almost completed.

Community Christian School Open House

Community Christian School held their annual Open House Night in May. Here's Justin in front of the collage the 1st graders put together.

Alexa is here with her California History Report that was on display with all the 4th graders.

Someone likes Stuffed Animals...

Came into Justin's room one afternoon and found him buried alive in stuffed animals in his toy chest....

Easter 2011

This year we attended the City of San Marcos Easter Egg Hunt the day before Easter. They had a breakfast with the Easter Bunny prior to the egg hunt~here is Justin with the big bunny.

This was a HUGE egg hunt. Unfortunately for Justin, he had to use my purse to grab eggs because he didn't save his basket from last year and the Easter Bunny hadn't brought one this year yet.

We had a nice Easter Sunday at church and a nice dinner at home. The weather was pretty ugly, but the kids look sunny.

Alexa gets a new Pet!

Alexa got a new pet last month. It is a diamond dove and she has named her Clara. We've enjoyed having her-particularly her cooing!

4th Graders at Indian Hills

Alexa joined the 4th Graders on their annual 2 days at Indian Hills Camp for the Gold Rush experience. They actually slept inside covered wagons like the one they're pictured in front of. She had a great time despite having to sleep in her jacket because she was so cold! (Alexa in the back row-far left-pink jacket)
