Amma's Birthday Lunch

We celebrated amma's birthday yesterday at Johnny Carinos. Here are some pics from our birthday lunch....

Happy Valentine's Day

I had Valentine's day off this year so I got to spend the whole day with my little monkey's. I left their Valentine goody bags on the table the night before so they could see them when they woke up

 opening a DVD from gramma

 I had to snap a picture of the adorable Valentine outfits from amma. Shortly after, they played outside and got dirt all over themselves, it was bath time and outfit change after that

 after dinner the kids had a movie night with popcorn and their new movie from gramma

Ryan was gone most of the afternoon/evening getting us a new car. We wanted something that was good on gas with all the driving that we do. We took advantage of the Presidents Day sales. Goodbye Toyota, we wont miss you!!

First Day of T Ball Practice

Yesterday was a pretty hectic day. Ryan started going back to school to get his masters. He has been putting in longer hours which means longer days for me and the kids. Yesterday was Holden's first t ball practice. He was pretty nervous but he warmed up really quick. He had lots of fun and is really looking forward to his first game

 Sadie had fun watching her brother hit the ball

 after practice we grabbed a quick bite to eat then headed to Redlands for gymnastics 

Knott's Fun

Our family headed out to Knott's Berry Farm yesterday along with my parents to use our passes. It started out as a cloudy cooler day but by the time we got out there it cleared up and  ended up being a really nice day. The park was not busy at all and we walked on almost every ride. Ryan and I even got to go on a few fast rides

Super Bowl Weekend

We spent last weekend up in Arrowhead. It has become a tradition to watch the Super Bowl up there. We headed up with the kids on Saturday and my parents, Mike, DJ and Nay joined us on Sunday. The kids LOVE staying at the cabin
