My baby is 2

It was a quiet birthday for Dane. We just had grandpa out and had a fun day playing in the water with Jayce and Brandt.

And of course, a birthday just isn't a birthday without some cake.

It was actually a really fun day with just the family. Dane brings so much laughter and screaming into our home all at the same time :) There's never a dull moment. We love you Daners!

The Good Ole Days

A couple of weeks ago Stacy was in town so I got the original HB roomies together out at my place for dinner. When I first moved out to Huntington Beach, 10+ years ago, these were my roommates. Kay is now on baby #6, Kim has 3 and Stacy has finally found Mr. Right and is getting married in November. It was so much fun to get together and just chat. Thanks for coming out girls.

Turtles and not candy turtles . . .

We went down to Cerritos to visit Grandma Janice & Papa David and they have pet turtles. Seriously. who really has turtles for pets? They must be at least 40 years old and going strong. Jayce and Dane enjoyed feeding them, Brandt wanted nothing to do with them.

Run Jayce Run

Jayce had his first Jog-A-Thon at school today. He did great. I thought for sure after lap three he'd be over it but he kept going to finish nine laps.

Easter at Grandma's & Grandpa's

Since Dane & I flew in late Saturday night from Utah we decided to just stay at my parents and then Jerry & the boys would join us after church for dinner and Easter activities. We do an "Easter Egg Bashing" contest and due to lack of participants, Brandt took home the trophy. Brandt was excited, Jayce . . . not so much. He won last year but has a hard time losing. And then of course an Easter egg hunt. Always a good time at Grandma & Grandpa's.

Trip to Utah

Dane and I enjoyed a nice little vacation to Utah. Holly, my old roommate, was getting married so since Dane still flies free I thought sure I'll take him with me. We had a great time. It was so much fun to see Holly & Trisha . . . it had been a long time. We stayed will Jill and that's always a blast. We were also able to visit Nate & Bri in there new home in Eagle Mountain (we miss you in Cali).

Vacation in Arizona

We just got back from a fun weekend in Arizona. We've always wanted to go up for Spring Training and this year we finally did it. It was great! Since we had never been before, there were a few things we learned the hard way. We learned not to wait till the last minute to buy tickets because you'll end up with none and buying them off the street. Which is what we had to do to see a game. Yeah, we got ripped but it was worth every penny. The boys loved it!!


Brandt was all decked out in his Angels gear and loved wearing the back pack. He was one of their biggest cheer leaders. He would just keep yelling, "Go Angles", "Come on Vladi hit a home run over da fence." It was hilarious.


Ok, so maybe Dane couldn't verbally be the best cheer leader but he was right in there clapping everytime someone else was clapping. It was so fun to watch.


Since we missed the game on Friday we were able to walk around the Angels stadium and check everything out. We think the boys might have enjoyed that better than the actual game.




We were also able to spend time with my sister and her family and as you can see, Jayce and Brandt could not get enough of uncle Greg.
