Squeezin' in a few trips before Baby Heath arrives!

So we packed our car a couple times these last few weeks to squeeze in some family time before our new little addition arrives. Boy, Mama didn't realize how challenging it would be to go camping and walk D-land this far along in pregnancy. But we did it and a fun time was had by all. Family times we will always remember. And really, our passes for D-land expired this past weekend so we are taking a break from D-land for now.:) We will keep everyone posted on Baby Heath's arrival. I (Joanna) am 35 weeks as I am writing this so our little guy could be ready to arrive anytime.

A Super Spring Break Visit With Other Auntie

Jeremiah's Aunt makes an annual visit with her friends, Bob and Terri Harper to Mission Beach to spend time with another dear friend named Ray. Ray owns this fun home right on Mission Beach where they get to relax all week long. We always try to make a few visits with them while they down here during the week. The last couple years, Owen and Elizabeth get pumped to have a one night sleep-over on their last night there. Thank you for a fun visit Other Auntie, Harpers and Mr. Ray! Always so fun to hang out with you all.;)

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.
