More good friends

We met up with Kirsten while she was in town to give a speech at USD. Together with the Zwickiltons we had dinner at Old Town Cafe. It was a great visit.

Caden's first friends

Almost every Monday since October, Caden and I get together with a group of moms and babies. We all met in a Mommy and me yoga class and continued getting together since then. We started just walking together, since the babies weren't mobile yet, but now that they are more active, we spread out a blanket after out walk and let them pal around. Luke and Jake are the 2 buddies in these pics.

Miss Willet

Last Friday was Miss Willets last day, she has been the student teacher in Logan's kindergarten class for the past 8 weeks...he was so sad to see her go... but very fortunate to have had the chance to be part of her first classroom experience.

Ross Family Fun

It's been a fun filled week with the Ross Family in town. Our first get together was at Kit Carson Park to give the kids some good running around space.
Saturday Night we hosted a party. Several friends from high school were over along with the Delaney's, Ron's parents and my parents. (Who would have thought the day would come when we would WANT our parents at a party?)
Emerson and Logan really liked hanging out together. I found them partner reading in Logan's room, helping each other sound out big words...too adorable!
Here's the gang...to think we all went to elementary school together...CRAZY...
Kevin racing Caden down the hall...I think Caden won!
Ron...up close and personal
Proof that Greg was there
ahhhh
Why is Kevin touching Shawn? For more fun and adventure, we got together on Sunday again. Here the kids pretended not to see me try and take their picture.
When the rain let up, some orange picking had to happen...and then some squeezing... As our last hurrah, we hit the beach. Those Oregonians lack Vitamin D, so they need to stock up when they can.
A good time was had by all. We are so glad the Ross family spent their spring break in San Diego. We look forward to seeing them again soon!

Hoodwinked

It was an action packed St. Patricks day that actually started yesterday when Logan got home from school. They had read a few books about leprechauns and he was convinced he could catch one. So for the next 3 hours he built traps. He told me that HE wouldn't be hoodwinked by any leprechaun.
While building he also discovered a mysterious trail of pennies that lead him around the backyard until it eventually stopped at the fence, near a patch of clover. He immediately set off next door to ask the neighbors if the trail continued on their side. (thank goodness they we're not home. That would have been tough to explain)
To kick off our St. Pattys Day we ate green waffles with green apple juice.Logan checked his traps immediately only to find the leprechaun made off with his 'gold' but left him a present...a set of funny looking teeth (that leprechaun needs to restock the prize cabinet).
I also taught a science lesson in Logan's class today. They are learning about matter and how it can chance from one phase to another. We made GREEN ICE CREAM!!!
We ended our day with some yummy corned beef and cabbage.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Been Busy

Our little man is creeping along the furniture, quickly grabbing everything he isn't suppose to get into. Lo and Shawn hit Disneyland (Cade and I stayed home and organized the pantry, huh...that isn't right!)
Logan's soccer skills are improving, as long as the wind isn't blowing or the sun is too hot, or...
Caden's eating more and more big boy food
Logan earned his Jr. Orange Belt!
We celebrated with some yummy Golden Spoon
