San Fransisco Weekend Getaway!

We took a day trip down to San Fransisco to try and see Jeff's niece who was swimming across the Bay. We weren't able to meet up but we still had a lovely day exploring! Some crabs the kids found!
The Golden Gate Bridge!


Exploring with Dad!


The Boat Harbor at dusk!

Trying to keep my hair from blowing away!










A very cool flower looking plant!

Our favorite boat we saw! The Red Snapper!




The Steps Rowan decided to scare the rest of us on by falling down them! He managed to stop before falling into the ocean!





One Gi-normous Leaf!
To prove we were there too!
Grounds next to the Exploritorium!
Reminded me of Full House! I don't get how people can live like this! So on top of each other!



Ian picked a flower for me!


Apartment Building! I'd hate to live on the top floor! Talk about a long way up to carry groceries!

Heck Yeah!!


China Town!


A distant view of Lombard Street!


Visiting Coit Tower!
This is the Statue Rowan thought was Jesus, but Ian set him straight by telling him it wasn't because Jesus has a whip not a sword!

Trying to keep warm with Dad!
There are stairs we can play on???!!!!


Not sure how people who live on Lombard Street ever get out of their garage! This street was sooo backed up! Very cool but I thought it'd be a longer street..

Good Bye San Fransisco!


~Easter Surprise~

We left a little surprise for the Easter Bunny this year! When we asked the kids what they thought the Easter Bunny would like, of course they said CARROTS! But, we decided to try and catch the sneaky Bunny too! The Easter Bunny left us surprise for us too!

The Sneaky Bunny got away! But he was nice enought to leave us a note and some bunny chocolates! The kids loved the jelly bean poops too! :)

This year the Easter Bunny left color coded eggs for the kids! Ian= Blue, Rowan=Green, and Hannah=Pink (of course)! So it was much easier for the kids to find "their own" eggs! Smart Bunny!!

My little Easter Bunny in Training!


A little family Tennis!

I've been training a friend and his wife and so Alex has been teaching the kids how to play tennis! Ian seems to be a natural! Hannah is very anxious to get learning more and more! Rowan was a bit young but still had fun! Mom and Dad even got out and played a little! Thanks Alex it's been so much fun!! Caught in the net or behind bars??



Jeff did really well! Me, I tried! Lol!



Rowan didn't feel the need for instruction! His philosphy is just get out there and do it!!

He even managed to hit a few!

So Determined!






Hannah the Ball Girl!



She thought this was almost as fun as hitting the ball!

Get it Ian!!



















Updating! March through April!

We had an Easter Party at my work for the kids! It was lots of fun! The kids really enjoyed seeing the Eater Bunny and being able to hold little baby chick's!

Happy Easter!!!




Painting Easter Eggs! Face Painting! Playing in the sand! YAY!!

I'm pretty sure these little guys were the highlight of the party though! Sorry Easter Bunny!





Happy St. Patrick's Day!!


The kids all loved getting a green shirt to celebrate the day with!




We have a number of parks around where we live so taking a bike ride and playing at the park is almost a daily occurance!


Rowan and his cowboy boots! They go where ever he goes!!

Two Little Monkeys!!


I am so loving having a daughter I can play with and dress up! Hannah is so wonderful about letting me play with her hair and experiment different hairstyles!!
