Our life and stuff

Spring Break (week 1)

 

Wednesday I went to the doctor.

I said 'so long' to 4 moles from my back.  I got a call already that they were healthy (phew).

 

 

 

Thursday we went out to lunch

The kids picked Tuttu Fresco... it was delicious!

 

 

Friday was track practice during the day + Family Fun at Night!!

We took the kids to '300' for dinner & bowling...

 

 

Saturday & Sunday was baseball

He had a practice and double header on Saturday... so exhausted

Then a game with Tustin Thunder on Sunday

 

I'm so glad we have two weeks at Spring Break.  We've got more fun things planned...

I love having the kids home. 

 

 

A New Year

 

A New Year of Memories & Stuff

ready to begin...

 

Farkel

 

Today we went to Barnes & Noble for Sydney's school book fair.

I wanted to share this little gem that we found (and purchased)...

 

 

It's a simple dice game that we can all play.

Sure, we have the regular size game from Target but the 'Pocket' version is just so cute!

Pick one up and have a Game Night!

 

Be Prepared

 

I love getting ready for a trip - making lists - packing - planning...

We leave this weekend and I'm just about time to fill the suitcases.

 

 

Kids are all packed with outfits already to go.

This makes it soooo much easier to get ready and be on time while on vacation.

 

 

 

Also by doing this way ahead of time I can make a list while packing to figure out if there is anything else we need. I realized that Luke has no flip flops that fit him anymore etc.

 

So with my list I went shopping this week.

Bikini's are on the list - sweater for Sydney - Luke needs a new belt...

 

Just a few more days until we leave!!

So excited.

   

Crazy Girl

 

I can't believe how many YEARS we have had this trampoline!

Worth

Every

Penny...

 

   

Endeavor

 

 

What a sight!

The ENDEAVOR space shuttle flew right over our house this morning.

It was so close... and loud... and amazing

 

 

 

 

The private school across the street were all out on the balconies taking it in.

I hope my kids are outside at school too. 

Not sure when you will ever get the chance to see something like this in person.

 

 

And then it just flew off...

 

The Rental

 

A week ago we got rear-ended at a light - we were all fine. 

My suburban bumper absorbed most it and the other car was totally jacked up... good to know. 

 

Anyhow, my car has been at the dealer and we've been rollin' around in the rental.

 

 

We were chillin at Santiago waiting for Luke to get out of school so I took a pic. 

Luke loved having a new car.  Sydney wanted our suburban back ASAP. 

Silly kids.

 

I miss my car. 

 

It's gettin hot in here

 

There is never a good time for the AC to breakdown. 

But AUG/SEPT when it's 100* has got to be up there on the list for 'the worst time ever'.

 

 

We actually thought about toughing it through the summer and saving up the thousands it costs $$.

That lasted like 3 days.

It is being replaced TODAY.

Hallelujah

 

Date Night

 

It's been a long summer...

We deserved a NIGHT out.

 

So, we hit up the Comedy Club and took this terrible selfie:

Cheers!

 

In the news...

 

After yesterday's win over Upland Foothill

we were sent a pic of their local paper...

 

Our own local paper printed a similar heading about us a few years when we lost in sub-division.

Can't they keep it positive and celebrate how far they made it!?
