1st ANGEL GAME

We were anxious to take the kids to their first Angels game so I felt very thankful when the opportunity presented itself shortly after I returned to work and I was talking with a co-worker that has season tickets. We invited my parents to join us for an evening of first experiences and the night lived up to everything we thought it would be and more! The kids LOVED the fact that they each got a gift when they entered the park-- a very schnazzy Angels over-the-shoulder backpack. Then, they were enamored with baseball players that talked with fans during batting practice. Kaydes and JRob joined in some of the activities for families/kids. And, despite the heat, we found a section of seats in the family section that we chose to sat in over our assigned seats and it worked out magically. The kids loved all the entertainment and FOOD that was a constant throughout the night. It was night well spent and to finish the night off we ran into my cousin who was in town for a short time from NY and her day (my uncle) that I havent seen in 20 years+ . It was an awesome night and there will be many more where that came from!




































New Pair of Rain Boots

Grammie came to visit recently from Northern California and took her two little ones shopping at Target. Both JRob and Kaydes fell in love with these rain boots and although we dont get quite as much rain as Grammie does in Nor Cal, she couldnt say no to those two cute faces! So, for the next week or so, JRob and Kaydes pranced around the house in their rain boots. I came out to the garage one day to find JRob stripped down to his bare hiney and low and behold, what is the only thing he is wearing????.....those darn Rain Boots!
Perfect photo op, right??? Gotta love it!!!

Girls Getaway 2009


GIRLS GETAWAY - 2009

So, Mommy's are allowed to have some fun every once in awhile, right??? Well, my high school buddies and I started a tradition last summer of getting together for a short getaway since we work our booties off all year long being mommies and wives, having careers, and just plain getting things done on a day to day basis! Last summer only Lauren and I ended up making it and we enjoyed some fun in the sun in Palm Springs. This year, Becky came out from Colorado and Jenn joined us as well. So there were four total, but next year we are hoping to get all 7 of us to meet in Vegas!
We traveled to Temecula for a day of wine touring, enjoyed a delicious dinner and woke up to head to Glen Ivy Hot Springs for a day of relaxation! We had MANY laughs but most importantly enjoyed one anothers company and continued to learn more about each other. It is crazy to think we have known each other for almost 20 years!!!
Thanks girls for fun, laughter and love!!!
Looking forward to next year!!!!
