dbacks with the fam

while my family was in AZ we had to go to a

dbacks game!

my family is a little obsessed with baseball. So they loved it!
now you know where Gavin gets it from!

The kids loved the all the All Star Game statues!

And my kids were very excited to see the Bobble Head guys—cause every game we've been to we always miss them.
I guess it's easy to see them when you're an hour early to the game!

"THE UNIT"

So during one of the innings we were walking around and right behind the jumbo tron/score board in the the outfield there is a little baseball field for kids to play on. Gavin loves it. So as he was playing one of the camera guys started filming him—Gavin made the jumbo screen the whole time in between the inning.
We didn't see it on the jumbo tron, cause we were behind it (but we saw it on a little tv). My grandparents stayed in their seats and they saw it.
I also got a picture of the TV screen that was by us.
and they kept replaying little clips of him the rest of the night.

While the camera guy was following him he was laughing the whole time. Gavin can run drills all day. They filmed him running the bases and sliding at home. Throwing the ball to Ryan and hitting it.

my family LOVED it.
They were in heaven. We even had to stay for the whole game (we never can) at least it was a close game and the dbacks ended of winning in the last inning!
Good times!
We had a lot of fun! We're so excited my family got to come visit us!

my family came to AZ

So right after school got out,
my family came to AZ to visit!
We were so excited to see them and to show them our AZ stomping grounds!
When they came the weather was great. Hot enough to go swimming during the day, but cool enough to go on bike rides to the park in the evening.

Cheetos BOY!
He loves Cheetos but hates the mess afterwards!

of course we had to go to Sonic (everyday) while my mom was in town!

Ava Preschool Graduation!

I can't believe our
AVA MAY
Graduated from Preschool!
I can't believe how old she is getting... and I can't believe I'm gonna have a kid in Elementary School!

So at the little Graduation they sang some songs, they each got to come up and say some of there favorite things to do in school. And one of Ava's was "Working"... wow, I'm so proud!
Anyways, it was a very cute little program.

Thanks Mrs. Irene for making Ava's last year of Preschool So Amazing

KINDERGARTEN here we come!

Spring Singing Performance

So this spring Ava has been going to
That's Entertainment
singing and dance class.
She loves it, its right down her alley!
And in May they did there Performance. This spring was a Disney theme. And all the songs they performed were So cute!

(here are a few little clips)

And yes, when the performance was over, Gavin and Savvy couldn't wait to get up there and do their thing!

So cute! Love those two girls! So glad those two girls are so close!

dback game

Ever sense we took Gavin to the
dbacks game
for the first time, that's all he talks about...
"mom mom, daddy, go real baseball game"
So any chance we get, we go.

So we did have good seats, but we don't get to stay in them cause the whole time Gavin is trying to get down to the field to play "real baseball"

This time we even got to meet Baxter! That was Ava's favorite part.

Gavin went and stood by that and said "mom mom, cheese"

Love it when they open the roof!

Warrior Dash 2011

Warrior Dash 2011
lets just say... Crazy!
Crazy people, Crazy obstacles, Crazy Dirty but Crazy Fun!
it was a 5k run filled with lots of obstacles — tires, jumping over hay stacks, junk cars, jumping over fire, climbing cargo nets, crawling in mud under barbwire... and much much more!

the mud... oh that gross, sick mud filled with rocks, straw and who knows what else!

Next we were off to the fire hoses to get some of the mud off of us...so cold and it hurt like a beast!
but was definitely a must!

Get some!

so much fun! we'll definitely do it again!

Easter 2011

Easter 2011
This year was a little low key, That same weekend we were moving. So we had a lot going on between the move, Easter Stuff and Both me and Ryan had to Teach in Church, but we still wanted to make sure the kids got to do all the Fun Easter activities.

School Party
That week Ava's had her School Easter Party. And of course Mrs. Irene went all out on the way cute Decorations!

Gavin was so excited there was an extra Chair! He loved feeling like a big kid.

Easter Morning
We were very Lucky that the Easter Bunny knew that we moved. Cause he left lots of good stuff!
Hoola hoop... Ava is amazing at it! She could do it all day!
A Tea Party Party barbie, Gavin got the Sandlot. I think he's seen it at least 50 times already!
And lots and lots of Candy!

(I love this picture, As we were walking to the park he was just walking with his head down and dragging his bucket!)
Easter Egg Hunt
We were very lucky to have Eric's Family invite us over for dinner, cause there was no way I was going to be making dinner after moving in the day before.

Just needed a little rest after the Easter Egg Hunt.

Happy Easter
