Friday, September 20, 2013. Playing in the rain. This afternoon it started raining so my mom suggested that Austin go play in the rain (she knew he would love it! Well, it's only so much fun to play alone. so mommy joined in! 5 1/2- so big! Catching rain in a bucket as it comes off the roof. The mouth works too. Who can make a bigger splash? Playing in the super clean water that collected in the cul-de-sac. This is right before the water fight started. Saturday, September 14, 2013. Way to go Austin!

Saturday, May 17, 2014. What an amazing season for the Red Raiders! They came in 2nd place for the regular season- having only one loss to a GREAT team (the Troopers.) Seriously they are hard core. So this week we've been in the 6U tournament! Going into the last inning, we had to hold them at no runs- which we have never done. But guess what? WE DID- sending us into an extra inning…. and then another! Seriously you would have thought we had just won the world series with all that screaming! Another toot...

Wednesday, July 31, 2013. We took Austin (and some of this friends) bowling for the first time granted he plays bowling on the wii, but the real thing is very different! He had so much fun with Sydney, Addy, Ava, and Thomas! Kids can bowl one free game (including shoe rental) per week during the summer- so we will be going again soon! Cute little bowling shoes. One of my favorite pictures- she was so proud of herself, if you couldn't tell! How many pins will fall. Passing out the bowling balls. So a few ...

Treats: Meyer Lemon Bars
http://www.treats-sf.com/2011/02/meyer-lemon-bars_13.html
February 13, 2011. Being a Californian means you get really spoiled when it comes to the abundance of amazing fruits offered here year round. When I'm hankering for something citrus-y I love to make meyer lemon bars. Lucky for me both of my brothers and my parents have meyer lemon trees on their property that are never in want of fruit. Buttery, crisp shortbread topped with refreshing and subtly-sweet curd filling.absolutely delicious! If you like citrus you can't go wrong with these meyer lemon bars.

Sunday, May 4, 2014. Big Bugs Year End Program. This was a very special weekend! Gigi was able to visit for a few days on her way to spend time with her sisters- so she was able to go to one of Austin's tball games AND his end of the year program at preschool! Eating some BBQ after his game. Lunch after church on Sunday- a rare pic of the 3 of us! A few pics before the program. The program was great- and Austin did such a good job! He sang the songs and knew all the movements! View my complete profile.

Monday, May 19, 2014. Tonight the Red Raiders got together one last time to celebrate the end of a GREAT season! We all met at a local park and had pizza with cookies and ice cream! The boys played, the parents talked- it was a lot of fun! I loved seeing the expression on his face as he held his trophies, and the faces of the boys when they saw Truman! It was a sweet moment for all of us! Praise the Lord for his mighty healing powers! He was so worried- sweet boy! Truman getting his trophies. After a sem...
