Uncle Marc!

Owen was finally able to meet Uncle Marc last week! Him and Kristen flew out for work/visit/wedding. Despite the cold/rainy/wintery weather, we had a blast. Kristen had a YBB (Yoga booty ballet) retreat she was leading in La Jolla for the weekend so I actually snuck away to take a class. The first time away from Owen. Everyone survived and I had a blast! Josh left for Vegas for the week on Monday so it was nice to have some extra hands - perfect timing! The kids, especially Ryan, were so excited for Marc to be here. He got to experience our crazy house everything from trips to swim, gymnastics and tee ball, crazy Sadie, hectic mornings and even Emmy stepping in poop (for the second time that week. ugh). Hope they had fun, we can't wait to have them back! :)

Playing that damn Vons monopoly game is so frustrating but killed like 2 hours ;) 

It was FREEZING! Which is crazy since we were at the beach the weekend before.

Emmy caught onto chess really quickly. I think she even beat Marc!

Emmy's favorite jammies. She calls them his bro-ther PJs.

this face cracks me up

Marc read Owen a lot of books and he really loved them. Crazy to watch him looking at all the pages.

We were spoiled, Marc even cooked us dinner one night. Aunt Debbie's curry chicken. It was a hit!

Sadie and Owen looking equally uncomfortable with this situation...

Me, Marc and Owen went to western BBQ lunch at Emmy's school. 

Until next time...

 

LOVE YOU UNCLE MARC!

 

Friday Night Lights!

Ryan had his first night tee ball game on Friday. SO FUN! I am really loving his games. There is nothing cuter than 4 and 5 year olds dressed in full uniforms playing baseball. Ryan is very serious about it. He gets very focused. And loves playing pitcher! He was pitcher the first inning, when his name was called he just "YES!" with a fist pump. They also had an announcer who called out the nicknames we gave them in advance. SO CUTE!

They were all so excited to play on the dirt field. Big time!

GO BUDDY BAROO!

Ryan played Audrey's brother William's team (who came over last weekend) so this time they knew each other. So funny to see them chatting on first base. Love it.

 

 

Only two more games left this season. He is going to be so bummed when its over!

First Week of May

The weeks are flying by these days! I wish they would slow down. We had another busy but good week. Owen and I ventured out for a hike, had another cardiology appointment (which went great!), got a little crafty, went to lunch with Daddy, went to family Friday at Emmy's school and went to Ryan's night tee ball game (see next post).

He's starting to chill out a little more in the stroller but would much rather be in the carrier

Walked a cloudy Torrey Pines on Tuesday. He screamed the whole way. Ugh.

Nothing like feeding a newborn on a rock along the path. Nature at its best ;) 

 Bath time!

 Emmy is convinced he is talking to her. It is so cute. It really sounds like they are having conversations.

 

I painted some letters for Owen's room. It was fun to get a little creative! 

Ta Da!

Boys room

Crazy Monkey

Crazy Sadie

It was teacher appreciation week. The kids are given a list of what to bring in each day (which I think is ridiculous - 5 days, really?!). Friday was bring a fruit I thought a pineapple would be cool. Emmy immediately thought of making a spongebob because he lives in a pineapple. I mean who wouldn't think of that?! Haha. She drew this by memory (she LOVES spongebob) so rad.

They made bird feeders in class on Friday.

It's beginning to look a lot like SUMMER!

It was 80 degrees and sunny all weekend long and now we all have summer fever :) We took advantage of every minute of it!

Friday

I took a successful grocery shop with this little guy staring at meet. Melts my heart

Then we took a trip over to the office. My friend Michelle got extra snuggles :)

Friday night we met a bunch of friends and neighbors at the park and had SO MUCH FUN! It just happens to be one of the only parks left in San Diego that you can still drink at. SCORE. It was so much fun to catch up with friends and meet new ones. Looking forward to this new summer tradition.

A big baseball game.

This little guy has me up all night and then soundly sleeps from 6:30a onward...

Saturday

Starts off with tee-ball! I can't believe there are only 3 more games left. We've had so much fun this season.

She was just chilling holding his hand. So sweet. Then off to gymnastics!

Saturday afternoon Audrey and her brother William came over. We pulled out the slip and slide and they brought water balloons.

We also set-up a lemonade stand

They sure weren't working too hard ;) 

A little sibling game of b-ball. I was impressed, they were all really good!

Sunday

BEACH DAY!

This little guy slept for like 5 hours. Maybe I should start camping at the beach at night so he'll sleep!

Emmy likes to call our afternoon family parties aka happy hour :)

Even little O parties!
