Emmy's 2024 Summer

 This girl lived her best life this summer! She biked to the beach with friends, ate her favorite fast food (Chipotle, Main Chic, and Chic Fil A) multiple times a week, tanned in the backyard, made slime, Looked after Owen, went to the water park, went to gymnastics camp at UCLA, and slept in! She also was a trooper at multiple baseball games throughout the whole summer. Hopefully she built some amazing memories of this past summer before she has to get a job. Ha! 

Kids pulled out the glue to make slime for the first time in years! 



The first of MANY all star baseball tournaments Emmy watched. 


Both boys had practice so we got a dinner date alone with Emmy!



Gymnastics banquet! 




She received the MVP award! 


Meeting sweet Walter :)





Training at UCLA! 












End of 1st, 6th and 9th grade

 The kiddos had an amazing school year! Emmy adjusted to high school quickly, Ryan survived his first year of middle school and Owen adjusted to not having his brother at school with him. Emmy and Ryan ended with 4.0s, which is incredible because they did all their work on their own and juggled sports along the way. I am so proud of them all! Bring on summer! 










After school celebrations!

What we've been up to - Spring 2024

 Spring is a busy season with baseball and gymnastics! Between all kids, we have a practice, game or meet pretty much every day of the week - it keeps us busy but we love it! School is flying by with only 4 weeks to go, and after 4+ years of planning, we have started our remodel! Never a dull moment around here :) 

Ryan's Tec team this season is the Reds. He's got a great coach and have made some good friends. After all his cutternation training, his pitching has greatly improved so much year! It is super impressive to watch 



Ryan was headed up to Temecula for a tournament


It was cold and raining! 


Game was postponed and then canceled :( But he still has fun with his buddies who has hasn't played with together since they were Owen's age! 



Owen is on the White Sox and has a SUPER fun team! His coach is full of energy and Owen is having a blast 


His position has been pitcher most of the season




Got got the swag chain after he hit a walk off run to win the game!





We went to a Padres game over Spring break. Owen got a foul ball after Josh almost caught it and it rolled under Ryan's seat - team effort. So fun! 



Emmy rounded out her season with her competition at States and then to regionals in Arizona where she placed FIRST ON BEAM!!! She also took her first solo flight there and back. Josh was out there for work so was able to watch :)




Emmy is in a biomed program at school, learning everything about the body, medicine and different fields of work. She went to the brain observatory and loved it!



I went with Owen and his class on a field trip to the zoo!



We moved out of our house over spring break to start the remodel! Who knew we were such hoarders. Haha. Emmy was always trying to find a quiet place to hang out




Even though we moved all of our stuff to the new house, Sadie has been out of sorts. She sure does know how to get comfortable and has found a new place to sleep - Owen's bed! 







We squeezed in dinner to celebrate our 18 year anniversary! 



The UC highschool varsity team played at Petco Park! We went to support them and they won!


Such a cool kid with his own style 




Nana and Papa came into town to watch some games! 




Handsome dude

Emmy and Emmy got a little crazy one day and hit up a piercing place in PB. She got her Helix(cartilage) and me my nose! One of the craziest decisions I've ever made! 


Little guy players hookie last week, some time we just need a day home....


Mother's Day forced family fun! A hike around the hood
