Family

Here is a pic from our last family reunion, December 05.

I am so happy to be visiting with my family. I have an Auntie, Uncle and 2 boy cousins from Orlando, FL. here. My Uncle, Auntie and 2 girl cousins from Kuna, ID. And I have my dad's cousin from Nashville coming this week. They are all here for my dad's wedding this weekend. Yeah!

I have been talked into doing a hula dance with my Philippino extended family for my dad's wedding. My family loves Hawaii. It will be a surprise for my dad. He wanted me to have the girls dance on his 50th birthday, but I was sick with my last pregnancy. I know that this will make him so happy. My cousins dance at most all of there get togethers and I have always admired from a distance. Well they said that my dad would be so happy and proud and so on, that now I feel obligated to join in the dance. I am nervous because if I learn this dance I will be expected to perform at other family functions as well. Oh well, the price of being in such a loving family. I will put of pics of our performance next week. My cousins from Idaho will be doing there Irish Folk dancing as well, with my uncle playing the flute. My dad's wife's son (mary's son, would have been easier) will be doing an acustic gutiar solo. Its a total family event.

Spring Break

We went to South Carlsbad State Beach Park for spring break. It was our first time camping at the beach. My wonderful father let us barrow 'bambi" his airstream trailer. We had so much fun. The picture is of part of the staircase we had go up and down a few times a day to get from the campsites to the beach. There is two more flights of stairs you don't see. My calves were killing me the first day. Defiantly got my exercise in for the week. My kids love the water. It didn't matter that we had some cold weather. They also love digging in the sand with there dad. Auston found a lot of shells and even taught his little brother to throw rocks in the waves. It was kind of hard explaining to a 2 year old that he couldn't throw rocks when other people were around. THAT WAS FUN! We even had some friends join us for dinner one night, Auston and his friend Nick rode bikes and played catch with the football. There were a lot of other kids there too. Kolby can make friends with anyone. He would just walk up to strangers and say "what's up" and want to play. We didn't want to come home, I just wanted my bed. LOL!

I am going up to orange county this weekend to watch our color guard perform in the championships. I also have some family coming in on saturday from out of state. Florida and Idaho. I am so excited to see them. A little nervous that they all want to come and watch me play softball. They will haggle me, I just know it. And my dad's wedding is just around the corner.

Until next time......
