B is for...

Ashton did great in his basketball game. He scored 6 baskets. He even cheered for the other team when they made a couple of shots. He was a team player and a good sport. That's all part of playing a sport and I'm so proud of him. We had a great crowd cheering for him too, Uncle Norris and Aunt Brenna and Tate. Papa came too.
Sierra babysat for the first time last night on her own for my sister Sophi. She did such a great job. Lucy gave her a hard time at bedtime but she figured it out. She came home so happy. She is so capable and responsible. I thought about her but I never worried. So proud of my baby girl growing into a beautiful young woman.

Hiking

Today is Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday and last night Brenna texted me to say her and Norris had been talking...how about hiking in the morning. We were thrilled. Ashton was going to get to use his new camelbak. :)
I drove my mom to the airport at 5:45am, she was flying to Hawaii to be with her friend Cheri who has a place on Kauai, lucky momma!!
At about 10:00 we gathered up in our awesome rental car, 2012 Toyota Sequoia, we have had many rental cars cause they keep switching them out...we had an awesome Yukon too! Blessings of getting your car crashed on Christmas day! :) We met Norris, Brenna and baby Tate at Placerita Natural Area. Quickly walked through the museum and took a snapshot, how cute they are! We had a great hike. It was such a beautiful day. There were so many people on the trail, Norris and Brenna weren't the only ones with such a great idea.

After hiking Jake and I went and picked up El Pollo Loco. Then we babysat Tate so Norris and Brenna could go and pick out their new carpet for their new house.
Tonight we went to dad's for dinner to celebrate Trina. She and Kai are in town and today is her birthday. We had a great evening!
Last Thursday evening was another Pack Meeting. Ashton got 4 belt loops. So blessed to have great leaders and so blessed to have a boy enthusiastic about scouting.

Ashton had a great bball game on Saturday. I would say he is obsessed with this sport. He lives and breathes basketball. He plays every minute that the sun is shining. He watches the Lakers every chance he gets. He wears his Lakers jersey, Kobe Bryant's jersey to be exact, while he plays in the backyard. He takes my ipad out with him so he can time his quarters. 

At his game he made 4 baskets and they were great shots. He was also a great team player and happy when   his teammates made shots too. He had a great pass, Jake called it a great assist. He was a great defender too. 

Can you guess what Ashton wants to be when he grows up?

We went to baby Jane's 1st birthday party too. She is a doll and it was fun to be with family!

Together

Today was a perfect day! This morning I went on a run/walk with my mom, walked cuz her leg kept hurting her. Still great to be out on a morning when it felt like we live at the beach. :)

Made pancakes, YUM! I ate mine with banana slices, peanut butter and honey! :)

Dusted and decorated for Easter!

Gathered paperwork to give to our accountant for our taxes. :P At least it's done! :)

Went as a little family and we all got slurpies, even ME! :)

Then we went to the pet store and fell in love with the Blue Nosed puppies. (NO, we are not getting a dog.) We just like to adore them at the pet store.

Went to the mall and showed daddy Dig It, cuz he's never been. Then got Si some glasses w/out prescription at Claire's for a presentation she is giving next week. She looks so cute in them. Ashton got some Sticky Stinkie's (or something like that.)

Went to Grandma and Grandpa's and played baseball at the park.

Home and watched Good Luck Charlie with the kids.

Daddy and kids played basketball in the backyard.

Went to Jimmy Dean's for dinner.

Watched "The Muppets" All Together!
