School Hike

Two weeks ago Eric, two other teachers, one parent, 78 middle school kids & Ty went on a hike for a field trip.  They did the Palm Springs Museum trail.  The kids really seemed to enjoy it and Ty had so much fun with them.  

Indian Canyons

On Sunday morning Julie & I took the boys to Indian Canyons to go hiking.  It was a beautiful morning, lots of runoff from the mountains to feed the streams and the boys loved that we saw a lizard about every 2 minutes!!!  They did great on the nearly 4 mile hike, I got a bit freaked since a couple we ran into said they had seen 2 rattlesnakes & finally turned around but we were lucky enough not to see any!It was so pretty with all of the wildflowers.  We live in a beautiful place. 

A Perfect Date

On Sunday Mark competed in the 10th Date cooking competition.  Julie & Beka joined me and we throughly enjoyed the food & champagne!!

Box Canyon, Mecca

On Saturday we went out to Mecca to do a hike called the Ladders.  It was a little scary at times with all of the rope climbs and ladders with the little ones but Eric brought some harnesses so I wasn't freaking out so much.  Ty was like a little billy goat scrambling up ropes, rocks & leading the pack.  It was such a pretty hike and a beautiful day.  Made me remember why I love hiking so much.Luke & Mason did a great job, so excited they are at the age we can do stuff like this!!

A Very Posa Party

Saturday night Tash & Zolt celebrated their 10 year anniversary party with tons of their closest friends.  I have to say we have been to many Posa parties but this was the best!!Eric's mom Karen was there to celebrate along with Emily & Iven.

Easter Fun & Stuff

We had a wonderful Easter full of family and friends.  Emily & Iven (newly married) were down to make the weekend complete with Grandma Karen and my parents. We had some friends over as well & played a little bag in the box and the boys even braved the chilly pool. Grandma colored eggs with the boys.Eric & Robb took on the boys in some games.  On Saturday we did a hike with the amazing wildflowers, it was so pretty!!  The boys had fun catching & letting ladybugs fly.  Did I mention Luke's favorite person in the world was visiting????  IVEN!!! (or WA or YAI-Ven)  Heart you!!

Party Weekend!

We had our annual Easter party this weekend, full of games and all!!  The kids had races with sacks, eggs & three legs, it was so much fun watching them compete & laugh and be goofy. Grandma did an excellent job of putting together the eggs & organizing the hunt, I think this was the best  Easter party yet!!Vern & I taking pictures of ourselves as usual.The kids checking out their loot.David, Zolt & MeFriday night we met up with our friends at Las Casuelas for Beka's birthday.
