Babes in Legoland

Last Wednesday my lucky little boys got picked up from school early and my parents took them to San Diego for a beach/legoland vacation.  They have been talking about Legoland for a while, never had been there but Ty had been and raved about it.  They had so much fun on all of the rides, especially the 'twisty' one and loved every minute. The got to go to the beach and have dinner at Anthony's on the water, a fave of my parents.  They had their fill of clams and calamari.  I'm so thankful my parents live close by and are able to take my kids to do such fun things.  They are at such a great age to do this stuff and are amazed at the littlest things.  They stayed at a beautiful hotel in PB, Tower 23.  This is the sunset from their room.  Luke and Dad are enjoying the couches in the distance...a beautiful life....thanks mom & dad, for loving my kids and all and making every minute they spend with you extra special!!!  

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!!
