Parades, Swimming and field trips!!

Friday Madelyn had a field trip with her school to a park near our house. The kids had a great time even though it was a little chilly. Madelyn loved playing with her friends and eating lunch at the park. Saturday morning we went to the Cherry Festival Parade, as Madelyn would say, "to watch Hailey on the girl scout float". We had a good time with our friends. Madelyn has been taking swim lessons, she completed her 3rd session today and is doing awesome. She is holding her breath, swimming and diving for sticks. She loves it and can't get enough. We are so proud of our little water baby. Here are some pictures and even a little video. More to come.... Tomorrow is Gabe's birthday and we are having some family visiting this weekend so I should have more pics soon.

My Baby turned 2!!!

It has been awhile since I last blogged, thought it was time. Last Wednesday we celbrated Owen's 2nd Birthday with his friends and cousins. We had a big bounce house, water sprinklers, and lots of fun. He was exhausted by the end of the whole thing. The weekend before that Grandma and Grandpa Hare flew into San Diego to go to the zoo with us. It was a fun weekend. We went swimming, shopping, to the beach, on a boat ride, to the zoo, and to Belmont Park to let the kids ride some rides. A short weekend but lots of fun. Here are some pictures of the birthday celebrations.

Baseball Game

I decided the other day to get a wild hare idea and plan an eventful date for Gabe and I. I called my friend, Kai, asked if she could babysit and bought the tickets for the Seattle Mariners vs. the Anaheim Angels. Not just tickets, they had to be the best available. We were in for a great surprise, we sat on the third base line, straight up from home plate. We could almost touch the players. It was awesome. The Angels lost but played a great game (final score 8-9). I lost Gabe the Griffey foul ball though. I was in the way when it came our direction and he was bummed out about it. Gabe and I had a great time and definately needed the time away. Here are a few pics from our date. Have a great week.

Arlee's Visit

Gabe's sister and her son Bragen came to visit this last week and we had so much fun. Bragen is such a little doll. Owen and Bragen had a lot of fun playing together even though Owen can be a little awnry sometimes and push Bragen down. We were able to go to Huntington beach, Palm Springs, t-ball games, a birthday party, the park, and the San Diego Zoo while they were here. It was a fun filled week. Little Madelyn loved sharing her room to Aunt Arlee and her cousin Bragen. She still asks when they are coming back. She really enjoyed them being here. Gabe's step sister, Jessica also came to visit for a night. We had a nice time going to dinner and lunch in Palm Springs. Here are some pictures from our week...

T-Ball

My baby girl, Madelyn had her first T-ball game today. It was so cute. She did awesome. She grounded the balls that came to her and made some base hits. Audrey her cousin is also on her team and was fun to watch. Here's a video and some pictures...

Wild Animal Park

I forgot to post some pics from our trip to the Wild Animal Park for Kailey, my niece's birthday. So here are some to enjoy!

Birthday!

So I celebrated my 26th birthday on Saturday and I had such a great day. First I woke up and started my day at the gym with Kelly and Tammy. When I came home my wonderful husband and kids had my presents waiting, which was some things for my car and some weights for the gym. After I showered I went to lunch with Jodie at Casino Morongo where she handed me $30 bucks and told me to play. I won $110!! I was so excited. Then I came home to Tammy picking me up to go shopping for an outfit for my night out. We then went and picked everyone (Rhianon, Tobi, and Kelly) up and went to see "He's just not that into you" at the movies. After which we finished up the night at Marla's for dinner and some drinks, where Tanya and Diana joined us. It was such a great day. Thanks to my husband for watching the kids all day, I was able to have a day out with my friends. I also recieved many cards in the mail, phone calls all day, and well wishes on facebook, myspace, and meetup. Thanks to everyone for making my day so wonderful. Here are some pictures to see our night out!
