1st baseball game-- Jada!!

Jada had her first baseball game today!! She is on the dodgers. It's machine pitch/tball. They give them 5 machine pitches, then if not hit they get to hit off the tee. She did fantastic!! She hit off the machine a few times, made an awesome out playing 3rd, and had quite the precise arm playing pitcher and 1st!! It will be a crazy 2 months with both kids with games/practice (Ranan is an tball practice once a week to learn)-- but they are loving it!!

Zoo!!

The kids didn't have school today- so I got a wild hair to take them all to the zoo with some friends!! They were perfect angels and we had a blast!! (even got to ride Cassie the horse --no pun intended)

Happy Birthday 32nd Drew!

Today was great!! This morning the kids gave daddy their presents they got him (we went to target and I let them pick out gifts for him).

Jada-- snow cone maker
Ranan-- slinky
Taya-- Velcro paddle ball game
Mom-- emergency flashlight/radio and 2 pairs of shoes
Dad-- he picked a camping stove (has yet to go buy it)

Jada had her first game- so that kept our morning busy- then it was homemade enchiladas for dinner/cinco de mayo and 7 dozen Choco chip cookies later (for primary) we had snow cones for Drews bday treat/candle! The kids are in bed and Drews off studying for finals!

We love you daddy!!

Jada-- first time applying makeup.

Ummmm....yikes?

Goodbyes... Sniff sniff.

The pictures say it all... It was a sad day. We were SOOO happy to see papa and grandma for 2 hours, but then moods quickly changed when it was time for everyone to leave. Lots of tears in our house that day. We love you ness and TJ and will miss you guys a ton!! (Vanessa's kids look happy here, but quickly emotions ran high loading in the van).

Pizza party/slumber party!

After the day of packing and cleaning the house-- we jumped at the chance to have a swim/pizza party!! All the kids also had their last slumber party that night! We miss them already!!
