July 4th

We spent the 4th in Boulder City where mom and Vic live. They have a great veteran's memorial park with an awesome splash pad!!


Big D got up early and saved us all spots to put up our shades and cook some yummy food. He has a huge XXXL camping chair that the kids can all sit in together and that VyVy uses as a crib.

They had a cool opening ceremony with 6 skydivers doing tricks with colored smoke and one carried an American flag.




























Te kids had a blast and loved the fireworks and live music, can't wait for the next one!!

SUMMER!!!

Baseball season is finally over and there is one more day until summer break starts and our vacation season starts!! Chaiz starts kindergarten this year so we are packing extra fun into this summer!! Starting this weekend with our annual trip to Big Bear, CA with the whole fam (mom, vic and Mess's oldest daughter) We all have cabins right next door to each other and we hike, fish, kayak, bbq and go to our favorite Alpine Slide and mini golf! First week of July it's back to Tracy, CA and a Giants game or two! We always stay a night or two at the Golden Nugget in July cause the boys LOVE the pool there ( it has a slide that goes through a shark tank). August is off to Laughlin for our anniversary and some fun jet skiing and water taxi, that for some odd reason the boys think is the coolest thing ever!! Not to mention probably more camping and Lake Meade trips then I can count! Man I'm tired just typing all the things we will be doing!!! At 10 last night a late August getaway to Mesquite was planned!

They finally meet!!

Counting down the 17 days until we go to Londonderry to spend spring break with Sasha!! but until then there is baseball 5 days a week and a teething baby!! In the past 4 days I haven't slept for more then 2 hours at a time and it is starting to catch up with me. The exhaustion is making me even more clumsy than usual and now I am saying words and sentences that don't make sense. Luckily Shawn is off tomorrow and I plan on spending the day sleeping!!

Baseball season has begun and it it a whole lot harder having two boys in little league!!!! Now I know why mom had us girls so close together, so we were close enough in age to play on the same team! Luckily the boys dont have games at the same time. But 5 practices and 6 games a week is going to wear me and VyVy out!!!
I love baseball season can't wait to watch the 51's!!!

Counting down the days until our week vacation back east to visit Nina Sashy and Paul!! It's been two years since we have taken the boys back there so they are sooooooo excited to go again. I'm more excited for the girls to meet and take lots and lots of pictures together!! Oh and also for all the yummy seafood, I couldn't eat all of the stuff I wanted to last time because I was pregnant. Croix is crossing his fingers that there is still snow so he can snowboard. 41 more days!!!

BFF's

Lexi and VyVy

Lexi and VyVy send pictures back and forth everyday to say HI! They can't wait to meet in April and hopefully live in the same town soon!

Do they look alike?

So Sasha's little girl Alexis was born exactly 4 weeks and 1 hour before VyVyana. The funny thing for everyone who knows us is that Sasha's little girl was taller and mine was shorter. They are evening out and we can't wait for them to meet in April. And hopefully be as best of friends as we were growing up.
