March

We celebrated daddy's 32nd birthday with a watermelon cake with coconut frosting & berries. Yum! 

They are either watching Goosebumps or Good Luck Charlie here:) 

Gwinna kissed this window about a million times so I had her clean it.  Spring cleaning! 

During our last few weeks here I really wanted to try EVERY dessert place in the area. 

We got to a few of them: 

Avila Valley Barn (such a fun place..we fed the animals, girls got ice cream and we got a berry pie to take home. So good.)

Lickety Split (cupcakes...not at all great:/) 

Eclair Bakery (really good eclairs;)

Doc Burnsteins (ice cream. good not great) 

Sweet Pea Bakery (my favorite-girls got cupcakes and I got the most amazing chocolate croissant I've ever had....flaky and warm and mmmmm!)

Old West Cinnamon rolls (we got an original & a crumb. Gwinna said "I'm in heaven" and pretty much ate the whole original on her own! So we had to do this place twice so I could try it too;) 

Very good. I was in heaven too! )

On good nap days for Sia I would watch Fixer Upper in our rocker and Gwinna and Noelle played with Shopkins in their toy room. So lovely.

Tia Sophia and (now) Uncle Brett came to visit a week before we came back to Hilmar.  We went to pismo beach outlets together, ate Doc Bursteins ice cream, and played in our yard :) 

And THEN they went to the beach alone one day and came back ENGAGED!!

through all the crazy

These girls, this life.  

It is insanity.  

My mom recently pointed out that I need to be grateful though for so many things and she included "bottles and TV" and in doing this she lifted a weight of guilt from my back because I OFTEN rely on both of those things to get through sometimes. There I said it...

There are days that are productive and I truly feel like super mom because we get everything done that we need to, yet many other days not so much.  I do love these little monkeys though through all of the crazy!
