Bunny's and such...

We had a lazy dazy Easter this year but some how the Easter bunny paid us a visit.
The kids had fun finding their own chocolate bunnies and decorating eggs. haha most of them were brown eggs and we didn't have red food coloring?? So it was creative time! It was uncle Hunter's birthday too so the fam came over for a mini bbq and cherry cheese cake! Happy Easter!

yurt camping with our pal Jacque!

We snagged a yurt at our fav, cape look out, for one whole night! Since the coolness of yurts has caught on it is a rarity to find yourself in one! Poor daddy had to stay and be a coach so I snuck off with the kids, Jimmy, and our good friend Jacque Laura!. We got to spend the first gorgeous day at the beach building sand castles and beach combing. The second day we hiked the cape and showed Jacque our favorite eagle's nest spot.

Jackson turns 5!!

We had the best time at Jack's Star Wars birthday party! Originally he wanted to have a star wars tea party but we got the good fortune of 70 degree weather all weekend so tea was out! He was surrounded by great friends and family and Aunt Kath and Uncle Bri even brought over their bounce house! Nana made the most incredible star wars cake that was the talk of the party. Daddy bbq up burgers and dogs! The pinata was a hit! haha... and Jack got a bevy of wonderful star wars gifts and a new... Bike from grandpa Dan! Great birthday big boy!

Baseball Season!

The kids have had a blast so far for their first season of baseball. They just got their uniforms and attended opening ceremonies last weekend. Mommy Chela even got to come up and see Bijou's first game. Daddy co-coaches Jack's team with Uncle Brian and sometime umpires for the games! Everyone has had a super time!

mama's beach birthday

This year, for my birthday, we spend the day as Oswald West beach! After a warm hike through old growth we emerged on a winter cold cove. Being that it was Jimmy's first beach trip, we were all excited to watch him run around smelling and tasting everything! After a good half hour it started to sleet/snow!?!

Jimmy Dean Bean

Jack-l-doo finally got his wiener dog! haha! We had been scoping out the humane society for the last couple of months looking to rescue a dog and we end up finding one at Trader Joes! Jack spotted a puppy clear across the store while we were shopping and was frantic to meet it.... he tugged on my sleeve the whole time and was worried the pup had gone. When we were done the man and pup were sitting out front! When I took Jack out to pet him the man said the 12 week old wiener dog was looking for a home and his name is Jimmy! He ploped him in Jack's arms and I knew we were in trouble! I would like to think that Jimmy is kind of like a rescue? haha but am happy he came to us just the same.
The kids opted to keep his name Jimmy while Tim and I debated a middle name... Tim is in favor of Dean... like the sausage! haha! Some how bean went on there too??
The kids have been incredible with Jimmy, caring for him and taking on more responibilitys. We had our first puppy training class with Jimmy on Sunday and had a great time as a family learning the basics. Jimmy is a super pup and is a wonderful new addition to the family..... Daisy is still on the fence.
