Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! We had a wonderful Easter Break. I read New Moon, we watched Bedtime Stories and Bolt. We visited Quail Botanical Gardens, had sleep overs with the grandparents, ate pizza, played outside, and snuck in for the last hour at Legoland.

We ate a big lunch today with Grandpa Wally, Grandma Heather, Grandma GG, Grandpa Paul, and Grandma Wendy. Everyone pitched in to make an amazing meal. We had honey and brown sugar glazed ham, homemade applesauce, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans with French onions, strawberry shortcake.... mmmmm. It will hard to get back into the swing of things. I teach 4 classes this week which is a ton for me. I am also taking classes. This week I start a 4 week class on writing and publishing. Weds. I have a one night workshop on internet marketing. I hope I learn a lot!

Baseball Pictures!

Check out pictures of the kids. There are some pictures of Tyler pitching. Cole's in the orange so he's easy to spot. Addy is on the Blue Diamonds. Baseball is in full swing! Want a hot dog and soda?

Disney's CA Adventure

It was great to run away just before my birthday to Disney's CA Adventure. We looked interesting in our Bug's Life 3D glasses. We checked out our family bricks- our family's version of remembering those we love. Want to run away with us to Disneyland?

Erin's Wedding

Just putting a few pictures up from Erin's beautiful wedding for those of you far away. The wedding was at Quail Botanical Gardens in Encinitas. Cole is checking out a cactus. Weird.

We love Grandpa Bobby!

Grandpa Bobby passed away this morning. We love him so much! I am grateful our children have had such a great relationship with their Great Grandpa. Tyler has sat by Grandpa's chair weekly and listened to his stories. The kids recently bought Grandpa a magnifying glass. They hadn't given it to him yet and were concerned about that when they heard he had passed away.

What a reunion Grandpa must be having with his son Kelly, his parents, brother, and sister. Love you Grandpa Bobby!

Yo Ho Yo Ho

We headed to the Happiest Place on Earth with the Nickels and Grandpa and Grandma Z. Grandma Wendy suggested we try RideMaxx. So the night before the magical day we downloaded the software and entered the rides we wanted to go on and times we wanted to eat. RideMaxx spit out a schedule for our adventure. It was great, we didn't have to ask "Where do you want to go?" We just all checked our schedule and mostly stayed together which made for a fabulous cousin day! Addy loved Dumbo and the Rockets, Cole and Tyler are rollercoaster guys, and I love my chocolate banana on a stick. We love Disneyland!
