KATE!!!!

My mark of a wonderful friend is when you don't see them for ages and when you do... it seems like it was just yesterday that you did! That sums up my college roommate, Kate. We have lots of fun and incriminating memories... and was great to reminisce! She was down with her sister and a few of their kids for a couple of Disneyland/Beach days and made some time to come visit!

Grand Cayman

Josh had a conference in the Cayman Islands and his mom was willing and able to fly out to stay with the kids so we could go for a few days together! She is a saint... the kids had way more fun than they ever would have had if we were home... but she didn't leave any proof in photos... so here are some of ours!They have a sandbar off the island a few miles where stingrays gather. We went out and swam with them, held them... and kissed them (for 7 years good luck of course!) Josh wasn't so sure of them at first. We haven't developed our underwater camera yet... so maybe more photos will follow.
Isn't this what you're supposed to do on a beach holiday?
Mrs. Large and In Charge... notice the sign says: No Frowning Allowed HERE!! Even if you're chubby!The only picture of us together! Thanks Barbara... it was a nice week away!

Z is three!


Good Morning Birthday Boy!!
Not sure what this one was about... but it's Zack and Brooklyn driving in Autopia at Disneyland.
Now it's his turn to drive?
Zack's birthday cake
We did a combined car birthday party with two other boys from church... they were all born the same week.Doesn't look like much of a party huh? All the other kids were across the grass playing Red Light Green Light... and Zack stayed behind with his empty pinata bag... from the pinata he didn't take a swing at. Josh's take... at least Zack isn't a follower!
Some of the kids racing along the greenbelt!
Zack's top three at three:
1. Cars & Trains
2. Candy
3. Helping Mom & Dad with jobs

Mary, Mary... How does your garden grow?

So we haven't officially killed anything yet!! Here are some pictures of the garden's status... We planted about 12 days ago. Tomatoes and peppers from plants... all others from seed... The girls decided to do it in their swimsuits and play in the water.
Zack decided to stay in clothes... and spray the girls with water.
If you look closely... there are lots of sprouts!!

Happy Easter

Zack wasn't feeling the whole "family pictures before church" thing... so here he is eating his chocolate with his buddy Jack the day before at our little Easter egg hunt. And the girls... Brooklyn's hiding her cast.
