Bowling

Every Sunday we have "family dinner" with my in-laws. This particular Sunday we all decided to go bowling. We all really enjoyed ourselves, but I have to say I had the most fun watching the kids. The last time we all went bowling, none of the kids could pick up a ball, let alone try to "bowl" with it. This time was a different story! They had their own lane and they were having the best time! It was fun watching their expressions and being so excited about it. It was a great time!

Shaver Cabin with the Oaxaca's

In the middle of March we went up to the cabin in Shaver. We invited our friends Kim, Al and Olivia to come with us. Kim and I met at the begining of the school year. Both our daughters are in Mrs. Prewitts class and we have become fast friends. This was the first time our families had gotten away together and it was a blast! The snow was perfect right next to the cabin and the kids played in it most of the day. It was a great way to relax and enjoy the company of our great friends. We can't wait to do it again!

Lets go campin'

After last years pouring rain at our annual camping trip to Dinky, Joe and I have been talking about tent trailers. We had been looking for several months on craigslist and we finally found the "perfect" one this weekend. It is a 1999 made by coleman, the people who sold it to us kept it in great condition, they even still had the plastic on the mattresses! The kids and I are very excited to use it! We brought it home yesterday and I got to work packing it up! To my surprise, all the things we keep in tupperwares for camping fit into our new trailer. Now if we can just hang on until Memorial day to use it!


This end has a king size bed for us! It also has a sink, full hook ups for power and water, a 50 gal holding tank, 3 burner stove inside and a 2 burner stove that hooks to the outside.
And this end is a full for the kids. Also this other "bed" down below, folds up into a dining table and benches! Keep scrolling down, there are more pictures to enjoy!

Late last week, Brooklynn and I planted our vegetable garden. We planted 3 kinds of tomatos, red bell peppers, hot pepppers for Joe and strawberries. I think i'm going to add some herbs also. The kids are very excited and can't wait to harvest their first veggie!

Brooklynn's first Book

Brooklynn's teacher gave select students in her class an opportunity to participate in the Fresno County Young Authors' Faire. Brooklynn was required to do a rough draft, final draft and illustrate. I'm so proud of what she came up with. She did a wonderful job and she is so proud of her work and is excited to turn it in tomorrow. She keeps telling me that she hopes it wins her some money. That girl is too funny!
