Family, Friends, Fun, and Food!

This past week we headed on board a Royal Caribbean cruise ship to celebrate Jeremiah's aunt's birthday. It was our first time on a cruise ship and what an adventure it was! We had a wonderful chance to catch up with family and just be together on this magnificent boat. Some of Aunt's friends came along to celebrate as well, so it was also fun to catch up with them. Owen and Elizabeth enjoyed many rounds of mini golf at the top of the ship, as well as a couple ice skating shows on an ice rink right on the ship. I would say their highlights were hanging out with their cousins and sleeping on bunk beds for 7 nights. Owen told us he would not be sleeping any more unless he was back on the ship in his bunk bed. Jeremiah and I actually had an evening out to celebrate our 11th anniversary! Thanks family for watching our kiddos that night. What a treat! Thank you Papa and Grammy for making this trip possible for us and Aunt for getting all of us on board for the cruise! We love you all very much!The Heath Clan

A Quick Visit with the Cuzzies:)

Owen and Elizabeth's cousins were down for a visit in Oceanside this week to visit their other grandma and grandpa so we got a chance to have a quick visit with them as well.:) While they were here, the twins (Josh and Sarah) celebrated their 3rd birthdays! Happy Birthday Kiddos!The cousins hanging out on the beach!

Visiting with a dear friend and saying good-bye

Jessica and Baby Ella came for a visit over memorial weekend. Jeremiah has his annual guys weekend and Jess and I try to make an effort to see each other. Well, my dear, sweet friend is moving away with her family to Georgia! I will miss her dearly and we know its not a forever good-bye. We've never lived in the same town except in college so hopefully it won't be too different for us in different states. We love you Fransz Family and we will be praying for a good transition for you all. Here's pics from our last visits together.

While mommy is away, daddy and kiddos play...

Here is some dance footage of O, E, and daddy rockin' out while mommy is gone running an errand. Its pretty obvious that daddy pointed the view finder out so that the kids could see themselves dancing. Hang in there with us and enjoy.:)

A Visit from Grammy

One of our sitters went out of town this week so we called up Grammy to see if she was available to hang out with kiddos while mom and dad went to work. She was! O and E were able to relax and spend time with Grammy. We were also able to squeeze in a SD trolley ride to Petco Park to watch the Padres play last Friday night! Thank you Grammy for coming down and spending time with us. We love you!Owen in the stands calling Papa to tell him we were at the game!

Visiting with Babcia and JaJa Again:)

We feel so blessed because we got to visit with Babcia, Jaja and some of our Polish cousins twice in April! This time we met everyone at the happiest place on earth. And we thought our last visit was in February! Jaja had discount tickets through his work and took all of us there that day. Of course mommy and daddy decided to use those tickets towards season passes again! (what can we say, we are suckers for Disneyland) O and E get to enjoy another fun season at this special place. What a treat! Thank you Babica and Jaja for a great time!The Crew with Mickey and Minnie

Investigating Starfish

The kids and I took a trip to Sea World (Thank you Babcia!) last week on one of those really hot days. We found ourselves investigating starfish for a quite a while. Owen and Elizabeth asked to have a picture taken every time they picked up a new starfish. I had a lot of deleting to do on my camera when we got home.:) Here are just a couple pics from our fun adventure.
