Camden's 3rd Birthday Party


March is a busy month for us so trying to figure out what to do for Camden's birthday had been quite a struggle. Between Bracken's baseball schedule and other birthdays and events, trying to find a weekend in march was impossible. So a few days before Camden's Birthday, we had a party at the Santa Barbara Zoo for all those that wanted to make the trip. Camden loves animals especially elephants so we rented the elephant deck for our party. I would recommend a zoo party for anyone, talk about built in entertainment plus the will bring a little animal by and tell the kids all about it and they get to touch it or not. So a good time was had by all, it was a beautiful day and we even got a picture or 2 or 3 of Grammie, talk about a eventful day. Special thanks to the all the grandparents, T and Eric, The Gee, Geris, Yumbar and Holly families for making Camden's day so special.

Special note can't get better than the cake, got a deal got to love that $10!

First Game


This afternoon Bracken had his first Hart Baseball game. He looked really cute in the whole uniform, and he had a great time. First at bat, Bracken hit the ball on the first swing, and from a coach pitch, but was tagged out at first. I was so impressed, I guess practicing everyday is paying off. Second and third at bats were hit off a tee and he got hits and on base to score 2 times, that is if they keep score. All in all, Bracken had a ball, even ran fast, and has already asked when he gets to do it again. Sounds like a win to me.

Happy Birthday Daddy/Pop!


Since we tortured mom with old photos on her birthday it is only fair that we do it for dad too, though I know he will not kill me. Happy Birthday Dad! We love you and appreciate you. You are a great Dad, and a wonderful Pop. The kids all love you and it is no nice to see you enjoying and spending time with them. Thank you for all that you do, all the meals and babysitting, and the random calls to check in. Have a great day

I think she was tired.





Tonight after Ainsley finished her dinner, she sat in her highchair and had a snack while the rest of the family ate dinner. She was playing in laughing then suddenly there was a thud and snoring. She fell asleep in her chair. Poor thing must have been super sleepy, maybe next time she is that tired she will learn it is better to take a nap during the day.

Valentine's Day/Pismo Beach


For the extended Presidents Weekend/Valentines Day, we headed out to Pismo Coast Village camping with our friend and neighbors the Gee's. We had a blast and surprisingly nice weather for what could and should have been a very rainy weekend. I have not been to Pismo Coast village since I was Ainsley's age, so it was pretty cool. We had a nice Valentines day dinner too, Fillet, twice baked potatoes, Marsala carrots, and ice cream and cobbler for dinner. Not to shabby for camping I must say. We say many cool things while we were there, pirate ships, butterflies, dead seals, live seals, dead birds, live birds, dead coyotes. The boys saw everything and told us all about it.

A Night Out Just the Adults



Matt and I had our second night away from all the kids this past weekend, and what a weekend it was. Saturday we went out to a Country Bar for Becky's 35th Birthday with a bunch of friends. I got new boots for the occasion that I was really excited about too. We all met at our house and then took a limo so no driving for us. Lets just say we had lots of fun, and were hurting a bit the next day Super Bowl Sunday and of course party again at our house but this time kids are home.
