A Lil Summer Staycation

So Long Preschool...

Two years at San Clemente Presbyterian Church Preschool FLEW. And now this sweet, smart, eager little student will head to KINDERGARTEN this fall!!! Many emotions but most of all excitement: Davis my dear, oh the fun you will have on your new adventure!

 Some pics from the last few days of school :)

Hello Summer!

Our 2nd Annual GLAMPING trip to El Capitan Canyon was the perfect way to kick off Summer vacation!

Holding a 2 week old baby goat...

 Treat time!

Jump for joy!

 Picnic dinners are THE BEST!

 Happy Hour :)

 Smiles all around!

Just a few kids from San Clemente were there... :)

The best part? We already booked again for next year!

Already?

This is one sweet holiday season...

...With a little spice thrown in for good measure ;) 

Are we really one week out from Christmas???? Slow down!!!!! Luckily we have made the most of the season, so much so this blog has taken a backseat!

Home Sweet Home...

WE BOUGHT A NEW HOUSE! It has a forest in the front yard and a jungle in the back and here are the keys to this crazy, magical new place. WOAH. Just a few...

 

Well, it's not actually new and yes, it needs more work than the country's budget, but it's OURS and it's amazing! Tim and I fell in love with the dirt. Seriously, what's not to love about dirt! The new house has plenty of it and of course the D's are excited about that. Uncle Adam was most excited about the demolition of a fence and this is what I walked into one Sunday morning...

The good Doctor rallied the men and had that fence out in no time flat! Davis is the hardest worker of the bunch, hee hee. But seriously, he loves to go over and "work" - He has his own trimmers and for a 4-year old, is honestly super helpful! He has those Dubost genes like his Great Grandfather Ray no doubt!

 

So we started a "small" remodel and LOTS of tree trimming, only to find many charming surprises inside this old house... Think corroded pipes and asbestos. FUN! So what started as a face lift has now become something more like this:

 

 

I'll never forget when we met our neighbor for the first time. Dylann said "This is our new house!" with arms grandly gesturing to the humble abode, then finished with "It's broken."

Everytime we see a construction site, she says "Mom, is that the new house?" ;) And while Davis is at school we are spending every second in building supply stores and "Home Deeco" ;) This is definitely a lesson in construction and the house is a labor of love, but hopefully in early Spring we will officially be able to call it home!

 

 

Cheers to that! Of course more updates to come!

 

 

Team Toothbrush!

Why torture just one kid at the dentist when now you can torture both simultaneously!

 

 

Luckily both kids loved the dentist? Maybe because they got to watch a movie, pick out a toy and stickers, take their pic in a photo booth and play video games in the lobby? Honestly this is NOT the dentist I remember as a kid! Lucky ducks!

 

 

 And PicaDyllie did AWESOME on her first visit! She loved helping get the tools ready and thought is was actually funny when they cleaned her teeth. What an odd-ball! But props to both kids because the Dentist said they have excellent spacing (oh so proud) and no cavities!

 Gooooo team toothbrush!
