Thanks for giving me a nudge to sit still for 30 whole minutes..LOL! I needed it!
So HEEEERRRREEEEE WE GO!
We went to L.A.
Caleb and Ben played the part of FAMOUS ACTORS and visited old friends.
Bonnie is absolutely gorgeous and so is her MOM!Conner and Caleb became BROTHERS in a matter of minutes -
Century City will never be the same!
Ben rode his first roller coaster in Santa Monica and LOVED it!!!
Caleb and Ben loved having lunch on the Santa Monica Pier. Ben and I spent so much time there, during Caleb's acting lessons, that the employees would wave and call us by name...no joke.
The boys made NEW Friends........
Caleb was really excited about this one!
Rachel has decided that she wants to be an actor, too.
Is it because she loves the arts ...or because Caleb and Ben got to go to L.A. and she didn't????
Your call!
Our little lady has started walking.....er..running!
Adam no longer dresses like a princess. He has graduated to the Indian who SHOOTS the princesses, fairies....basically whatever Mary and Rachel "are" at the moment.
We met Ellie and Miss Wendi at the zoo.We had a great day.
It was hot , but the kids did not care.

Andrea,
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!! an update from the Thaggards! I loved every word! Dan and I sure got a kick out of the comic book store and esp your comment about it beating booze, younger women and fast cars. At least he's not doing something really crazy like getting a tattoo. ;)
Now, your next assignment is to do this more often. thank you! :)
man, oh man... you HAVE been busy! :)
ReplyDeleteHey there stranger! I don't know where you think you are too busy to blog... wink! At our house we are also going through a midlife crisis and weight gain... only the crisis is being had by our 8 year old and the weight gainer is ME! Oh well! I am happy to see that you all have smiles on your faces and though you say that they are kicking your butt I think you are holding it together quite well :) Take care my friend!
ReplyDeleteI know! I have been an aweful blogger! You know you guys are TOTALLY family, when I worry more about getting YOU pictures than I do the GRANDPARENTS!!! I need therapy, I know!
ReplyDeleteOh and Dan.. I am soooo waiting for the tatoo.
As long as it says "ANDREA RULES!!!! " I'm cool.
We are talking about a SAN AN trip.. I need to smooch on Evie. ;)
Sarah- H.C. looks more like you every day..HOW is that possible>>> God is the coolest!
Jenna...Don't get me started...If my butt gets ANY BIGGER I am going to have to start wearing a "WIDE LOAD" tag to warn passer-by's..no joke.
I love Donuts....I really really do...;)
Love you All!
