Some science and some Polo

In early Feb Ty got 1st place in his school's science fair and last week went on to the district fair with all the other 1st place kids (and there were lots of 1st place, 25 from Ty's school alone!)  

He ended up getting 2nd place and was quite pleased with himself, and I am so proud!!!

We got home quite late and they all had to shower and finish homework.  They all crawled in my bed and Ty read them a book.  Sweet boys.

Saturday Luke and Mason went to Tristen's birthday party at Boomers. The climbing wall was a huge hit.

And on Sunday, Polo!!!

Tash, Julie, Zolt and I loaded up the kids and headed out to the El Dorado Polo Grounds in Indio for some tailgating and polo. It was a beautiful day and super fun.  We even got to stomp the divots at halftime!

Luke wanted a picture in front of this corvette.

The jumpy was a huge hit!!

Tour de Palm Springs 2013

Saturday the boys and I loaded the bikes up and headed downtown with 1000's of others for the 2013 Tour de Palm Springs.  They have races from 1-100 miles.  We decided on the 10 mile and the boys were CHAMPS!  They did so great and had a blast.  I was glad that we did it with the Posa's and Julie as well.

All 9 of us before the start.

The crowd at the start.  The 100 mile had started at 7am and then progressed to the 1 mile at 10:30.  Lots and lots of bikes!!! We could not have asked for a prettier day, not a cloud in the sky and 60.

Our one hill, Ty and Julie were the only ones who didn't have to get off their bikes and walk!

Eric was out the door early for the 100 and the group he went with pooped out so he ended up doing 82 miles, he was bummed but he'll try again next year!!!

Life lately.

All 3 boys are playing basketball this winter and are on 3 different teams.  It was really cute this past week when Mason played Luke!

The kids, Tash and I enjoyed a Sunday Funday at Julie's last weekend.  80 degrees in January is pretty hard to beat.

Luke and Mason can always entertain themselves.  Practicing massage while waiting at the doctors office.

We had a dinner party with fresh Alaskan salmon and halibut brought down by Robb's mom.  It was Yummy!

We took a walk downtown with Grandma on her last day here.  

Sweet Drew came over after school one Friday and helped me make brownies.....and lick the spoon.

Our science project (by saying 'our' I really mean Ty's) got 1st place!!!!!  We go to the district fair in the end of February.

My little basketballers.

Saturday I sarcastically mentioned to the boys that we should go check out the national cheerleading competition at the convention center, I was met with an enthusiastic YES!!! from all of them, they are boys!!!!  It was pretty cool to watch them practice.

Last Saturday Eric got asked to go to La Jolla to Torrey Pines to see Tiger Woods play.  He was so excited....but due to the fog they ended up canceling for the day and only saw a few starts that ended up being called back.  They made up for the day by visiting Green Flash brewery and meeting up with Kerri and Niko for lunch in Carlsbad.
