Closing Day

Last Saturday was closing day for baseball. This was our first year and the kids had a great time. Aaron's favorite part of each game was...SNACKS!!! Isabella's favorite part was ...SNACKS!! I know Darin was hoping for a little more, but we were just so proud of them, they both gave it their all and had fun. We are playing AYSO in August so stay tuned for the next adventure.

Shark Club Celebration for end of the year birthday's

This was such a great night, filled with family, great friends and lots of fun!!

Happy Friday Everyone - To a great experience one thing is essential, an experiencing nature. It is not enough to have opportunity; it is essential to feel it!!

Flashback Friday

I have not lived at home for almost 10 years now. Since they are remodeling their house and cleaning the garage, I am now inheriting the items I don't want to throw away, but don't necessarily want at my house either. Three months ago I got another box of stuff from my dad and this is what was in it, old sorority photos. Color was my friend in college. :)

Flashback Friday

We are attending Darin's cousin graduation today from CSULB!! Congratulations Leslie, we are so proud of you!! Since we both graduated from LB I thought I post a picture of me 8 years ago.

This was a funny day because I actually finished my course work in December of 2000 and did not walk until May 2001. So I had to take the day off from work to walk in my graduation ceremony.

Easter 2009

Although a little late posting, here are a few quick pictures from Easter. My cousin Kim was so kind to host it at her house in San Clemente and it was a beautiful day, we had a great time. Having our family together is such a blessing and although we are loud and a little crazy at times, we always end up having a great time.

Happy Memorial Day

This year Memorial Day has a new meaning for our family.... With both of us being off I have to admit I did not even realize it was a holiday weekend until Tuesday. When I was working I remember how excited I was on a Monday before a holiday, looking forward to that three day weekend. Now every weekend is a three day weekend. I've been given a basket of lemons lately, so I am making the best lemonade ever. :) With us slowing down and appreciating every day and what we have today, I took the time to try and explain to the kids what Memorial Day represents and why we celebrate. Isabella understood, Aaron kinda got it and Abby just said o.k. So to all those soldiers who have given us what we have today, I say THANK YOU!!

A tradition for our family has become attending the strawberry festival in Garden Grove. We have such a blast and with both of us off we were able to take advantage of buying wristbands for the kids. This allows them access to as many rides as they want all day. They had such a blast as you can see below.

Kids Away, Adults Will Play
