Our passes are expiring next month so we had to get a day at Disney over Spring Break. Our dear friends the Chesebros met us there! What fun.

Owen's First T-Ball Game

Baseball season is here and our daddy is a sucker when it comes to coaching a team when Owen is involved. He is coaching 9 other little guys, all mostly in their first year of playing ball. Their team is called the Greensboro Grasshoppers. It was so fun and hilarious to watch their first game last weekend. They all love to run after the ball to see who can grab it first to throw it to one of the basemen. Owen just loved hanging out in the outfield kicking the dirt a bit. His favorite position that day was being the catcher. The gear really made him feel important even though he wasn't always sure when to look out for the ball coming his way. I think he just enjoyed spending time with Coach Daddy and having his mama and sissy watch. Way to go Owen! More great games to come this season!

Annual Girls' Weekend Rocks Once Again!

Another fun and relaxing girls weekend has passed again. This year we met up in Newport Beach at the Townsend's residence (Ali's parents. Alison is one of the sweet friends that is always willing to host us) . Unfortunately I'm not the greatest picture taker during these weekends. We didn't get a chance to get a group photo(all 10 of us were there this year!), and I only took a few shots that were on the last day of our time together.
We just relaxed, played a few games, watched a movie and just caught up on everyone's parenthood life. Yes, we are all moms now! Crazy. It is always so refreshing to to meet with these women and see how the Lord is molding us. Thanks for such a great weekend gals. Love you all!

Fun Times Spent with Papa and Grammy

Papa and Grammy met up with us for 3 days at Disneyland last week. We shared a hotel room that had an upstairs loft and kitchen so everyone had plenty of room and rest. Mommy and Daddy actually got a brief date night out in Anaheim as well. We were a bit tired from a busy day at D-land that night, but went out for a date anyway because we had the chance. We really were exhausted at the end of everyday but still enjoyed our time together. It was such a treat to be with Grammy and Papa. Thanks for coming down and spending time with us! We love you! The pictures above illustrate some of our adventures.

Enjoying the Snow with Friends

We headed up to Running Springs to visit the Kitzman Family. The Kitzmans are dear friends who lived in Chula Vista for a while and felt called to be missionaries in Peru. They are back in the states for now and will be heading back to Peru in the fall. We drove up with Dann and Wendy Sherman who are another set of precious friends that still live in the neighborhood. O and E just loved sledding while we were there. Elizabeth has quite the adventurous spirit! Thanks so much Kitzmans for hosting all of us! We love you guys.

Can't Get Enough of Disney

Our dear Babcia bought us tickets to see Disney on Ice this morning! We have ventured to Disneyland this past year quite a bit due to our passes, but our kids just can't get enough of Disney. The show did have our kids' fav characters from Cars and Little Mermaid so my mom could not resist. Disney just puts on such fun and magical performances every time. I enjoyed the performance myself. Here's a pic of the kids and the backdrop before the show. Thank you Babcia!

Its a.......!

Its kind of hard to read the little sign O and E are holding up, but it does say: Its a boy! We are adding another little boy to our family and we are so excited to welcome him in! When Jeremiah and I walked in the door and shared the news with the kiddos, Owen was sooo excited that he was going to have a brother. Sweet Elizabeth asked: "But where's the girl?" I knew one of them would be a little disappointed because each wanted their own gender, but as we talked about our little brother more, Elizabeth had a change of heart.:)The little guy is doing great in mama's belly and continues to grow. We are half way to his arrival which is around June 2nd!
