Me

Spending time at the beach always seems to lighten my mood and help me reflect on life. The world recently lost one of the best people I have ever known. She taught me about strength and courage, how to be a little more green, and reminded me to love my family a whole lot more. She embraced life and lived every moment. She complained very little and fought til the very end. She taught from the heart and believed in the good in everyone. She spoke her mind and never backed down from a challenge. She will continue to inspire me to be a better mother, wife, teacher, and friend. I will carry her in my heart and think of her with a smile. I love you and will miss you Nancy. Thank you for being my friend.

On the Rocks

Sea anemones
We found a baby star fish this time!

They love to get super close to the water.

We saw so many star fish today. Mason loved it because he is studying the ocean in 1st grade!

Monterey

We convinced Shawn to let us eat at Bubba Gumps. We all had yummy lunches...even Shawn who doesn't really like seafood.
The Aquariaum is a must-do for our family. I have been taking pictures of the boys in this clam for 10 years now!

Climbing on the rocks and looking for sea life is a Culcasi tradition.

This trip included a trip to the Carmel Mission.

Mission Accomplished




We had so much fun as a family helping Jaxon with his 4th grade mission project. He had to complete a written report and he chose to make a model of his mission. Daddy helped with the mission and I helped with the report, but Jaxon did most of it himself. I loved watching him take the project seriously and soaking up all he could about the mission. We are all glad he chose the mission in Carmel, so we could go visit!


Mother's Day

Spending time with my boys.






I spent Mother's Day with some of my favorite people. Such a great weekend.



Littlest Student





The recent budget cuts have caused us to start the kids super young these days so they don't get too far behind. LOL. Caiden and Gramma stopped by to pick up the boys and hung out in my classroom for a bit.
