O.C Barbecues PLUS!!

My Stepdad Maris has just opened his own BBQ store in Laguna Niguel (30212 Crown Valley Parkway, to be exact!) called OC BBQ's Plus, and it is by far, the best BBQ place in ALL THE LAND!! They have everything you would ever need to fulfill your grilling needs and desires;) So check em' out when your in the area!!!

Mia and Vanner

Just a cute pic taken with Roy's i-phone that I thought was blog worthy:) These are the moments when I look at my life and think I am the luckiest Mom in the world!

Slugger!

Max received the game ball on Saturday for being the best hitter of the game! He nailed it all three times he was at bat (the last at bat was when the coach threw it to him and he nailed it on the first pitch!) So proud of the Max man!

Because it's Friday!

Yes. I am posting another picture of my little man because this is my blog and I can do whatever I want. So there!

The Van Man

My baby is 10 weeks old tomorrow! He is getting SO BIG! I thought I should post some pics so you all can see how freaking CUTE he is! lol!
LOVES!!

Max's first T-ball game!

(Notice Mia's BRIGHT yellow finger nails?! She went to a birthday party where they took the girls to get their nails done. All the girls picked out pink...except for Mia. I was informed by the mother that Mia's first choice was neon green, but when asked, "Mia, are you sure you want that color?", Mia quickly changed her mind...to YELLOW! lol! That's my girl:) )


Go Mariners! Max has started his first season of T-ball and surprisingly the kid has skillz! He actually can hit the ball, even when the coach lobs it to him! I do, however, have to yell at him while he's out playing to put the mitt on 'THE OTHER HAND'!! He will get the hang of it I'm sure! It's kinda fun too, since he has some of his buddies that he played soccer with! I just love being in the stands cheering him on! PLAY BALL!!

Balboa

~Mia and the Rainbow Cow?!

~Max waves to his fans
~Ryan and Mia
~I looked out the window and what did I see??...

~WW and I soakin' up the rays (and in my case, FRYING my chest! Good times!)


So, again, I apologize to all of you who have to experience "Winter" (am I pronouncing that correctly??) It was yet another GLORIOUS day in southern California and we took full advantage! It has been SO long since I have been to Balboa, and Roy's cousins live just up the road, so we decided to meet for a couple hours and let the kids run wild! It's on days like these that I feel SO grateful to live where I live, and the mortgage almost seems worth it:)

Darcy's Baby Shower

~February 28, 2009~

Babies! Babies! Everyone is having babies! It seems like I have been doing nothing but going to baby showers lately...and it has been so great! All my BFF's are spawning and it has been one of the neatest things to experience that with them! This shower was in honor of Darcy and baby Gabriella. That baby is not only going to have two great parents, but the girl is going to be the best dressed kid in town! Can't wait to meet her!

Two down...two to go! Good Luck Ali and Darc:)

Farewell Jen!

It was bittersweet getting to enjoy the delectable desserts at 'Extraordinary Desserts' and having to say good-bye to our good friend Jen:( We will miss you Jen! Good Luck in Vegas!!

Max's Open House

~Max with his teacher, Mrs. Jensen
~Max is learning to tell time!

~The kid can READ! SOOO AMAZING!


So we got the chance to go to Max's Open House at his school the other night. It was really great getting to see Max's classroom and what he does all day! He was SOOOO excited to show us (and especially Van) his class and around the school. It was so great to see how many people knew Max and how many of the teachers pulled me aside to tell me how much they love my son! It was really fun to meet Max's 'girlfriend' Andrea. At first I was worried that he had a girlfriend, but come to find out she is a mom of one of the other students who Max has a HUGE crush on and talks about incessantly! What can I say? The kid has a thing for older women! LOL! I still can't believe I have a first grader! Where does the time go????
