Last Week

The kids got a hold of the camera.

My first product of my garden, a radish and I have lots more now.

From Michael's field trip at BAlboa Park Botanical Gardens.

An Upset Drew

Her love, Nibbles

So last week was pretty busy, starting with a crazy Monday after school. Thinking Michael's baseball practice was at 4 pm, ran to the elementary school that is about 15 minutes away, to find nobody there, so run back to the baseball field just to make sure it's not there (which happens to be about 5 minutes from our house) nope nobody there either. Run home, check email, Practice is at 4:30 I check the clock it's 4:25, yeap he is going to be later. And he reminds me as we head there, reminds me when we are 10 minutes late and than when we are 15 minutes late. I was nervous because I didn't recognize any cars, but he waved letting me know that someone was there. So I headed off to Lowes, to pick up the Pete pots I left there earlier, so annoying, but on the plus side I found potatoes to plant yeah!

Than off I went to the girls dance class, they did great it was tap day. I chased Drew all over the place of course the playground isn't enough for him he wants to run up the 100 stairs that are there.

Head back to get Michael from practice to only find out, there was NO PRACTICE!!!!! What!!!! It was another kid and his dad who also didn't know there was no practice. So frustrating. All that running around for absolutely no reason. What a great way to start the week.

Tuesday Off we go....I went with Michael's class on a field trip that was actually pretty fun, we went to balboa park the Gem and Mineral Society he loves rocks, so that was a huge hit. And they got a great little gift bag from there which Savannah confiscated and gave the rocks away, not just any of the rocks Michael's favorite. I didn't know that until Friday. Anyway back to the field trip it was fun I talked with 10 year olds about cell phones and why Michael can't have one and how he will survive without one, and also why he can't watch the Batman movie.

Came home Michael actually had practice that day, and I promised the kids if they cleaned or something they would get Slurpee. Well guess what Taylor didn't clean, surprise surprise. She broke down and I'm a sucker, but I told her she can have one if she promises to clean up when she gets home and if she does she will get the Slurpee it worked.

Wednesday I don't remember at all, probably trying to get Michael work on his report. That's a whole other story.

Thursday My sister came into town with her in-laws they have a sisters weekend every year and it happened to be here this time. So I picked her up from the airport and she spent the afternoon with us. She, Michael and I all came to Old town with us he is doing a report on there so went to take some pictures. Than on Friday we took her up to The temple to meet her family.

Friday not too bad, Michael had an awesome baseball game he hit a double and gave them the lead which they kept and added to, to beat the #1 team. They where pretty excited. Unfortunately they lost on Saturday and today (monday)

Saturday was good, I got to go to lunch with friends from church to celebrate a friends upcoming baby. It was great. It was even funnier when she opened her $250 gift card (people are really generous here). She has a hard time taking things it was fun.

Oh Sunday I taught relief Society it went well, and now I can relax a little more, it will be even better when Michael's report is done.

I really should talk about my crazy dreams, but that would take too long it was a long week. Here's some pictures.

Too HOT 100 degrees

It's only April but my thermastate reads 100 degrees right now. Yesterday was the same. I'm melting here. Who knew I lived in San diego? It should be in the 70's not 100's.

Easter Outfits

So last week Mark had the camera so I couldn't take picture plus Michael wasn't here.  So We walked out the door today and I believe it had to be 100 degrees (no lie).  Savannah was not happy to take pictures But I promised right after they could take off their sweaters.  the sweaters where perfect for last week but not this week.

Drew's outfit was Michael's when he was 3.  I'm glad I saved it.  It was in perfect condition.  

Talking business

"Yes lets transfer those funds from there...." Isn't he cute. He's talking to Grandma on the phone and he walks over and leans on this lightpost. So funny.

Taylor Big Hair Cut.

Taylor has been dying to get her hair cut since before Christmas. Well I told her she needed to grow it long enough so she could donate it, she was done and it was long enough. Here's her hair before:

Good-bye Hair.

She loves it and I think it's so cute! It turned out so cute. The lady took like an hour to cut it just right. We just walked into to Super Cuts and this lady did a wonderful job, she happens to be the same person who cut Michael's hair about 2 months ago. What are the chances?

Garden Update

So here is my Garden so far this year, We have corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkin, radishes, zucchini, snow peas, green and yellow peppers, cilantro and basil.

Robin Egg Fun

There girls got a kick out our blue lips. Taylor was having fun too she just wasn't ready for the picture.

Mmmmm....Sugar

Notice the candy Jar next to him? He climbe up there. He has chocolate in one hand and a sucker in the other life couldn't be better.

A Great Book

I think everyone should read this book. It's a great book on family relationships especially with in-laws. It's called Meeting Amazing Grace My mom had it and let me borrow it. WE are reading this for our book group. It's true stories set in a novel format. So it's fun and interesting yet helpful. It's a really easy read too.

Easter Morning.

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Coloring Eggs

After Coloring eggs we had Mark's speciality Shakes (strawberry and banana) and then everyone danced. It was cute. Not everyone would dance for the camear (Mark). But this is what I got.

Savannah Jumping Rope

Early Easter Presents

Grandma and Grandpa sent some sweet easter gifts. They all got new swimsuits and some other fun stuff, here they are showing them off.

Wild Animal Park

We were very lucky 3 of the Lions Cubs where sitting in front of the windows, these are are all males and will double in Size. Which is so crazy they are already so big.
This was the kids favorite place the butterfly jungle which is open for a short time. They all were determined to get a butterfly and they did. At one point all three were on the ground trying to get one. Only Drew didn't have to try he had a couple land on him, but not long enough for a picture. Should I mention we breifly lost Drew while waiting in line to go in here? Or maybe not. We'll we were in line the kids where looking at the weird bugs in wall when we noticed Drew was gone he had walked out of the cave about 30 feet back to the stroller and was looking for some food in our bag. I about died.

This is a baby cheetah is he not so cute. He saw a baby rhino, elephant, giraffee too. The elephant is less than a month old but too far away to get a good picture. He was so tiny, just up to his mom's knee.
