Catching Up

Life has sure been busy over here in our family over the last month. Life has a way of increasing in speed as we grow older and our family grows bigger. Therefore it is up to each of us to choose to slow it down. So tonight I am slowing down to post some of our latest adventures. In chronological order.... First we had Brayden and Logan's baseball party at the end of the season. They had a baseball pinata that the kids smashed and afterward Brayden ended up wearing it as a hat. It was a great year of baseball.

Next we went to Brayden's end of the year party at Chuck E' Cheese with his kindergarten class. Both Logan and Brayden were able to do the ticket crazy swirling machine and Connor was able to meet Chuck E' Cheese himself. Pretty exciting stuff all the way around.

Camille had an idea that we would take a walk one late afternoon and all the trash / stuff we would find we would make robots out of it. I was a little skeptical, especially seeing some of the stuff we were finding. But after the boys worked hard on their robots by spray painting them and gluing them together, they turned out GREAT!! Very creative idea and the kids had a lot of fun with it.

Memorial Weekend we decided to stick around San Diego and have a "stay-cation". We went to the Hyatt Mission Bay resort because we had heard some great reviews about it. It was a blast! Our room overlooked the bay and the swimming pools. Our kids loved looking at the view when we were in our room and when we were down in the pool they took advantage of the water slides, jacuzzi, and games they had every day. I participated in a watermelon eating contest and lost. And got sick from so much watermelon so fast. This was a great weekend together as a family.
