Sarah's 15th Birthday Hunt

One Friday night in March, I did my auntie duties and took 1/3 of my niece, Sarah,'s friends around on a birthday scavenger hunt...all around town...doing crazy, funny, ridiculous things to get points. It was hilarious. What a fun age...probably more for me as an outsider, than for a parent of a teenage daughter. But that Sarah, she is a good, I mean really good, girl. We are super lucky to have her as the oldest cousin for our boys to follow. She teaches them good things, loves to be with our boys and they LOVE her.

Yes, this is Sarah, the birthday girl, in the trash...it got her some points =)

These were my girls...all crammed into a bathroom stall...

Disney with Daddy

Shane's face tells the tale...it was a long wait for Toy Story...but so fun!!

We actually did not coordinate colors on purpose =)

A turkey leg...of course!

My big boy!!

There were several/many months that all/most of Gavin's time not in the office were spent behind a book studying. But in February, he took a day and spent it with us at Disneyland. We truly treasure those special days...making memories with our little men. I like that we have a 3-day hopper pass to use this year. It is making Disney special...instead of it being a "normal" thing that we do all the time with a season pass. I think that sometimes the magic is lost in visiting too frequently. This way...I can vividly remember our special days.

President's Day trip to Big Bear

We took a couple days in February and headed to Big Bear to play in the snow. I am always amazed how close (2.5-3 hours) the snow is to us here in San Diego. We really do live in paradise...

Spring Break~ The Wimmers visit~~

I wish I had taken more pictures...but these are the few I took during Spring Break... we did the beach, the park, Disneyland,baseball. It was so fun to see our long-lost friends, the Wimmers (haha...they've only been gone since December but it feels like a long time!). The boys had their crazy adventures and had fun with their friends.

General Conference Weekend...April 2011

The semi-annual tradition...watch conference from the comforts of our home...with treats and bingo cards. Then we go to Gav's parents place for food and watch the 2nd session...and this year we walked off our food with a stroll along the beach. It was a beautiful day!!

Are you sensing a common theme?

Yes our current weekly events very much revolve around baseball. With 2 boys now playing...we have a busy week of practices and multiple games. But, I wouldn't change a thing. I love baseball. I love my boys. And I love that they are so into baseball/sports and are having so much fun. We have been SO, so blessed this year with the greatest baseball coaches. Christian's team has already clinched the Minors division season title (1st place) and Christian even won the gamer award for the whole minor's division as well. Shane was nominated from his team...and that was pretty cool. Then the boys had games at the same time one Saturday...and both boys got the game ball that same day!
