Gary's Century

So Gary has been training for a few months and finally did it! He rode his bike 100 miles. In training, he would ride to the beach (did you know that we are a bike ride from the beach?) We would drive to the beach and pick him up, usually near Ventura. For the century ride, he rode up to Ventura and down Pac Coast to Santa Monica. So we went to Santa Monica. Sorry no pics of him..I'm sure you wanted to see him in his spandex bike shorts!...here are some from the beach.

Grandpa

It seems that I can't get around to updating my blog as much as I would like, so I am going to try and give you highlights for now. At the beginning of May, Jessica went to Utah for my grandpa's funeral. Funerals are always sad, but I am happy that my grandparents have been reunited in Heaven and will have their health. My grandparents always put family and the gospel first and taught us so much. They have 5 children, 19 grand children and somewhere around 53 great- grand children...I lost count. We love you.

No training wheels

I think we've taken the training wheels off about 10 times, but she finally did it! Thanks to the neighbor for running after her so I could take the vid.

Pinewood Derby

Jake placed 4th out of 32 kids...He had a great time and was in the running most of the night.

Huntington Library/Easter

So for Easter, we headed to Huntington Library to see the flowers. The roses were beautiful, they were all in bloom. We decided upon leaving to become members so we can go back again a few times this summer and in the fall.

Spring Break and Fun

My sis and her fam and my mom and dad came out to spend spring break. Since the plan was to do the beach and the weather wasn't as cooperative (or at least that's what we thought), we headed to Disneyland of course. It was beautiful. A little crowded, but we had a great time. Grandpa was the designated "fastpass runner" and grandma was the babysitter, so we got things done pretty quickly. We spent Sun at Cal. Adventure, Mon at Disney, Tues at the Zoo, Wed at Sky City and Thursday at Santa Monica Beach. We had a great time.

Jessica turns 6!

I can't believe that my "baby" is 6. It's been a great year for her. She loves kindergarten. She has learned so much, reading, writing and numbers. She is truly a joy and blessing in our family. She had a great birthday week. She had grandma and grandpa from OK here for a few days, where we watched baseball, played, shopped, went to the Beach and of course Disneyland. Then her grandma from Tehachapi came up one afternoon and took her power shopping...that girl can do alot of damage in little time! She got some great dresses, a swimsuit and some cover ups for our upcoming beach trip this summer and a few other cute outfits. On Sat, she celebrated with a few friends with a Littlest Pet Shop party- we played games, read stories, did crafts and had a fun time.
