Another baseball game. It's been almost a year since

I've been to one, so it was time. = ) This year, Julie

opted to baby-sit Sam so Anna could go. That was nice

since her Dad was in town, and that meant they could enjoy

going to the game together. Our tickets were for the very

top row. Woo Hoo. When we walk in, and you see the club

level, THAT is the level I want to sit on. Anyway, it was

nice to be able to go with Grace and the gang.

Another memory made.

Easter Break visitors

So, usually Julie and I like to take a little road trip for

Easter break, but this year, Michelle said that she and

Clark would like to come visit us, since Clark will be

in school, and won't get many chances to come to

California. So much to Julie's chagrin, they came to visit

us, instead of us going to visit them. We talked my Mom

and sister Denise, into coming down with them, so that

way we got to see them either way. We HAD to go

to the beach while they were here. The weather warmed

up just in time for them to leave, but one day was warm

enough to enjoy the nice ocean breeze and get a little sun

tan (burn). That first time out always seems to fool ya.

Clark was the only one daring enough to go in the

water. Anyway, it was fun to get together with

everyone, and for my Mom and Denise to see the progress

Tyler has made on his house. Somehow, I'll have to make

it up to Julie, for taking away her "road trip".

Easter Visit

Sam working on his walking. He's pretty steady now.

We had Tyler, Anna, Grace and Sam over for Easter. We had Ham and

lots of other good stuff. It's so fun having Tyler and family so close. I'll

probably mention that over and over again. It's just SO FUN!

What did he say??

Can't come to our house without some trampoline time.

We had Tyler and family over during the conference week-end, so you

can imagine that we didn't catch everything that was said. But we DVR'd

it, so we can refer back. YAY. Anyway, we enjoyed spending time together,

and I wished we could have everyone here. But here are some pictures

that we took.

Banquets and Dances

Last night was Julie's end of the year Cheer banquet. They make it

very nice and give out lots of awards. It was held at a Country Club

here in the city. I liked the video that was made. I wonder if I can

figure out how to put it on youtube.

Today Mel went to Tyler's to help out with the sprinklers, or maybe

it was the lawn. Anyway, it was the first time ever that he's brought

over Grace, all by herself. It was such a fun thing for Mel and I having

Grace here. I took her to Costco and got her a little ice cream. Her

parents came about an hour later, but still, we loved having her here.

Tonight is Sadies at the high school. The theme was Pirates, with a

touch of Rave. At least that's what was rumored. So the kids didn't

quite know how to dress. We got a mixture with Julie's friends. The

girls met at Jenna's house (black blouse) and brought finger foods,

then took off for the dance. Tonight they are going to Samantha's to

sit in the Jacuzzi and sleep. Sounds fun.
