Angels Last Game

Jaden had his last game with the Angels last night. They lost, but it was a great season! Jaden is getting to be quite the little baseball player, I love to watch his games! He had a ton of people there to cheer him on too, thanks to all his fans:-)

Family Picnic at Sunset View

I met Jaden for lunch at his school today, it was family picnic day and it was beautiful out. We sat by his best buddy Caden and his family. We had PF Changs and Samuari Sams, quite the picnic. I love you Jaden - 2nd Grade is almost over:-( Stop growing up so fast.

Mother's Day Tea At School Today

To Daddy - Joelie's Love Note All by Herself

Panties Overnight - Day 1

Joelie wore panties last night to bed for the first time...she has been ready but I have not! I guess she can do it...they were DRY! This was my last tie to babyness, well except for all the crying she has been doing! Good job baby girl, we love you. No more buying those expensive pullups now! I didn't take any pics...I thought you could probably get the picture without a picture:-)

2nd Best Day of Jaden's Life Thanks to Blake

Jaden has had the second best day of his life...It started out Friday afternoon when he got to go to a camp cookout with the Egli's--he had a blast. Then on Saturday morning we started off with the yard sale, then off to baseball pictures, baseball game against Chacers (in which we WON this time), then off to his last soccer game. He came home and we told him we had a surprise for him. See video below:-) The first game Blake gave him tickets to, he told him it was the best day of his life!! Well then after he knew where he was going we told him we had one more surprise...he was going with his daddy and his best friend for life and his daddy (Chacers and Dave), he just fell on the ground in surprise! Can you tell we love this kid?

And I almost forgot, he got a game ball to top the night off, thanks again Kluse's!!

Faces

Baseball and Legos

Today was beautiful! We had a HOT baseball game today and they won - it was a really good game. After Jaden's game we headed over to Chacer's game to watch the end of his. I had to get a picture of the best buddies for life. Jaden also finished the lego boeing plane papa dave gave him for Christmas...it is an awesome piece of work!

April 19 - 33 years old

I had an awesome day today the day began with sleeping in, then we got ready to go to the farm. We went to McD's for breakfast burritos, then headed out! We checked a few circles, did a little exploring, went fishing, went on a hike, saw a turtle, caught a fish, rode the 4-wheeler, did some batting practice and took a little nap on the way home. When we got home Granny made dinner and my family was there to celebrate, we hung out in the back yard and played with the kids even my brother and his family were in town. Thanks for all the calls, emails and cards:-) Oh and we did a little red neck boating, see video below. What to expect for 34! I had better rest up!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all!

I love you Abba!

My kids are at school right now and it is just me and Abba. Everytime I think of her leaving me it brings tears to my eyes and she will be taking my best friend with her. What will I do??? But I am going to visit and they promise to come home to see me. I love you guys!

and...NO I didn't bribe her to say that, come on now!

The Angels

Today was Jaden's first baseball game vs. the Mariners. They got beat, but had a great time in the awesome weather. Jo and Abs were the cheerleaders, can you tell?

Best Friends Forever

Farm Day

Today was farm day. We spent the day 4-wheeling, planting peas and hitting baseballs in the batting cage. It was a great day!
