Jake & Dad went to see the Dodgers vs. the Diamondbacks! Yes, we live in Arizona but we will always be true Dodger fans! Jake was so excited.

Fun Run

Jake's school did a fundraiser called, The Apex Fun Run. Every student runs laps and gets pledges and the proceeds go to the school for different things; supplies, field trips, etc. Each class gets so much and they decide how to spend it. They wore shirts with numbers on the back and each time they completed a lap, there was an adult there to mark off the lap...that's how they kept track. Jake finished with 27 laps! He has been battling really bad allergies and we told him to walk if he needed to...but he said, no way...this is a race! It was a lot of fun! The whole school was really involved! Good Job Cambridge Academy! Thanks to all who made pledges on Jake's behalf.

Easter Blessings


We had a very low key Easter Sunday...Jake got a bad case of pink eye. But, the Easter Bunny stopped by, we colored our eggs, we had an easter egg hunt and enjoyed a delicious Turkey dinner. Sophie & I made it to church too. Thanks be to God! 
My little cuties...I love how close they are
Dad got in on the action too
Our Bunny cake...it was good 
Sophie's Easter outfit...It is rare that Sophie will wear what I want her to...so before she changed her mind I got a picture. 
Look Mom, I found an egg!  
Jake is too good at this
Counting our eggs!

Easter Picnic


Jake had a field trip to the park for a picnic and Easter egg hunt. Sophie and I tagged along. It was so much fun. We packed our lunches and headed to the park. After lunch, we played games, had a scavenger hunt and played at the playground. After a long and fun filled morning we headed back to school.
Getting ready to head to the park...Sophie loves going to see Jake at school.
Always makes herself right at home
Easter egg hunt time

Look at all those eggs!

4 YEARS OLD!

 And the celebration continues...Sophie really 'celebrated all month'. She got a visit fron Nana Pat & Grandpa Bob. Then a couple days later Coco & Pa came to town and if that wasn't enough...Her Ninos & Natalie too! This girl really felt the love on her Birthday! We really appreciate the love and support of our family!!! We are so blessed. And, as a parent it means the world to me that my kids are a priority in other people's lives...not just mine. : )

Yea! Nana & Bob are here
We said, make a wish...and she said, "I wish to be a Dentist"
She got an ooooey gooey warm chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream on it. 
We made a birthday cake and she decorated it all by herself...
Happy Birthday to an AMAZING girl
Took a picture by our newly planted orange tree.  The tree and the kids are almost the same size. We'll see how they all grow! 
HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY TO SOPHIE!
