Good Times!!

Grandma again!

My daughter Katrina is expecting her 2nd baby. Big brother Ewan just turned two. I am re-posting (blog-stealing) her announcement because it is too cute!

All Star Baseball

The All Star Game came to our home stadium this year. Angel Stadium in Anaheim, CA.

The events started on Sunday with the Fan-Fest and the Celebrity softball game. On Monday there was the Home Run Derby, and on Tuesday the All Star Game! These are some photos from game day Tuesday. Great memories for G and Jare!

This reminds me of family.

Photos on my Fridge

My refigerator doors quickly become a collage of collected photos, kids artwork and cute magnets. Things seem to stay on there for months, if not years. I took a quick pic before cleaning it off.

July 4th - Food, Family, Baseball & Fireworks

Happy 4th! We started the day with a family BBQ lunch prepared by G the grill-master.

Some outdoor fun in the backyard, and of course all the girls needed patriotic toes for the day.

Then dessert in the red, white and blue theme, delicious!

On to a 6pm baseball game. Our local minor league team The Storm has a beautiful stadium nearby.

And Fireworks at the stadium to finish out the day!

Wonderland

Audra just finished 9 months in her first lyrical dance class, her first dance class ever. Here is a short video from their end of the year recital. She is the tall blonde in the front.
