Spelling Bee Winners!

It has been a couple of months, but I didn't mention that Addy won the First Grade Spelling Bee and Cole was second in the Second Grade Spelling Bee!! With the Second Grade Spelling Bee it was down to the final two kids FOREVER. Back and forth, back and forth for a really long time! He was awesome. Both Addy and Cole were amazing sports. I was impressed. We celebrated with a trip to the Ice Cream Deli after school with the Wursters.

Padres' Game

Yeah! Uncle Johnny is home! We headed to a Padres game and had a great time with our baseball fanatics. I love Petco Park. It's gorgeous. The Padres got a Grand Slam Home Run at the beginning of the night. Woo hoo! Check out Addy's shiner. She bumped into her friend, Jazi, while playing tag at school. We've seen it change colors daily... green, purple, blue, brownish...quite the fashion statement.

End of the 2010 School Year

I really would love the freeze the kids at their current ages. They are my life and I love to be with them. Addy's class did an adorable dance towards the end of the year. Addy would love to be with her teacher forever. They really were a perfect match!

Baseball Post Season

Tyler was on the Jays and had a wonderful season. Post season, they played in Esc. for a couple of weeks and ended up with the title of First Place Team for Mid City Tournament. I don't know if Tyler or Shawn had more fun.

Lavender Fields

We always see the signs for the Lavender Fields but had never been to them. I love exploring and checking out new things and it was a real treat! We even tried lavender infused lemonade and scones. It was way out there in VC but a fun side trip.

First Grade Field Trip

I love going on the kids' class field trips! The first and second grade trips are my favorites! We had a wonderful time at Sea World with Addy's class. With both boys, we stayed late and rode the Atlantis roller coaster. Addy is a roller coaster girl so we stayed and rode the Elmo Fish Ride a bizillion times. Rosie stayed with us and it was lots of fun. A bit different than being with the boys. Addy and Rosie are huge animal fans and loved the Pets Rule show too.

Arrow of Light

Tyler earned the highest Cub Scout award called the Arrow of Light. He had been looking forward to it for awhile and has done over and above the necessary requirements. We love scouting and appreciate Kendra who makes the pack meetings like Norman Rockwell paintings that are alive. Now Tyler will be an 11 year old Scout!!
