Keeping busy & Boxing


THe aftermath of Ty's first experience boxing. 





Ty had been bugging Eric for weeks about boxing, so they finally went to check it out.  Ty loved it but it's a big time commitment, we'll see if he still wants to do it after baseball season. 


Our (Ty's) science project.  We tested the rate that a goldfish breathes in different temperatures of water.  We called it 'One fish two fish hot fish cold fish' although we should have called it 'One fish two fish three fish dead fish'.  We picked up some replacements the night before the presentation.  

And we (Ty) got 2nd place!!!!

Another typical night at Fisherman's Market.

On Sunday Julie and I took the boys out to the Empire Polo grounds for some wine tasting, croquet and bocce ball.  It was a beautiful day and so much fun, can't wait to go back to see some actual polo!

What's up....

Ty's team over all tied for 2nd for the year and then went undefeated for the first two weeks of tournament on Saturday morning lost 2 games in a row, 3rd place for the year and they go to area on Fed 4th, still more soccer for us!!

Saturday night my good friend Courtney had a housewarming/40th birthday party with her boyfriend Ryan.  I have to say, one of the best parties I have been too....taco truck, beer truck and tons of fun people.  The theme was fuzzy and buzzy.

D, me & Court

My bookends, D & Sanya,

And the next day Tash and I took the kids to the streetfair in Palm Desert, the park and then on to Court's to pick up my car. 

We decided to stay for a few hours and help finish the party supplies.  Lucky that I brought a bottle of clamato with me....kinda like lunch.

The kids had a blast, played foosball and Ryan broke out the bobcat, first giving Ty an awesome lesson, letting him drive & dig.  Then on to Zach and all the little one wanted a try too.  He was so patient and they loved every minute of it.


Mason's turn.

The awesome chainsaw from one of the cakes, Ryan let Ty take it home, nice. 

Luke and a bobcat.  An awesome weekend with fantastic people.  Have to say Court and Ryan are two of the most fun and sweetest people ever, great to have great friends like them.

Sunny California

Over break we did lots of outdoors activities, enjoying all the sunshine and warm weather we could.  Eric and I took Luke and Mace to the Indian Canyons the day after Christmas for a hike while Ty was enjoying Carlsbad with Roman.




My little billy goats.

The day before Christmas Eric, Jon, Ty and Julie went to Thermal to hike the Ladder Canyons.  One of my favorite hikes.



Ty loves the ropes and ladders that connect the canyons.


Along the way they found some geocaches, this one was called 'Duck under'. 

New Years day Eric and I took the boys to The Living Desert.  Another beautiful day.

Safari Park and some riding

I took the day off of work on Wednesday and took the boys to the San Diego Safari Park for the day.  Julie joined us and it was a beautiful day.  





Eric's buddy Jon visited from Minnesota the week before Christmas and they got to spend an afternoon riding.
