Micah and I had a great time on memorial day.  He woke up and went with some buddies to the park to play ball.  Scout, Skylar and I headed down in support and stayed for a bit.  Afterwards, we headed to the beach.  We met up with the Brockbanks at “Trail 1″ at San Onofre.  While there, I was the judge of the sand castle contest.  Micah and Chloe were a team, and took first prize! The weather was beautiful, and unlike other beaches, it was not crowded at all.  We then topped the day off by heading over to the Samuelian’s house.  Britni and Jason are housesitting.  We ended up having a BBQ — hamburgers– and finished up with a little 1 month birthday celebration for Scout with our new favorite treat….Maggie Moo’s Ice Cream.  Scout  went with my mom and Trilby to South Coast Plaza, and then met up with us at the BBQ.  He was angel for them and also for me!  Happy 1 month….and I can’t believe it has already gone by this fast!!!!

Easter Eggs!

Egg dyeing competition 

The other night, we dyed easter eggs.  We ended up having a contest to see who dyed the best one, and the entries were from Me, Micah, Calin, Skylar and Bryan Thacker.  (He was over watching a movie with Micah and joined in on the fun.)

Endless Summer egg by ThackerI had the winning egg with my “golden delight” glitter covered egg at first.  Then everyone stole my method, which bumped me to third place.  But in the end, Bryan Thacker took first place with his “Endless Summer” egg.  It was pretty awesome, but I will take credit for giving him the idea.  He dyed the egg, and it looked pretty cool, but certainly was not worth a spot in the competition.  Then I casually walked by and mentioned that the colors looked like the background of the Endless Summer poster.  Next thing you know, he free handed a surfer on the front and took first prize.  Congrats B. Tacky! But the funniest part was when my mom judged the eggs and Tacky got first place, Micah took his last place egg and free handed a surfer on it.  He thought it might get him a bump up in the ranks, but he stayed in dead last.  You can’t really see it in the picture, but his is the blue egg on the right side AKA last place!
