Oooh How I Love California..

So I agree, California has it's issues...a Govenor who speaks broken english, immigrations problem, high cost of living, oh and let's not forget we are BANKRUPT. But on a beautiful 94 degree day in the middle of April all of that seems to be forgotten! We truely are blessed with some of the nicest, mildest season in the world. Can't hate California for that!

Soccer Saturday's

So our Saturday's are pretty typical this time of year...soccer, soccer, and more soccer. Today was was no exception, however we only had one game today instead of two. Amber is playing her first season of soccer in the U8 division. It has been so fun to see her play...the coach has her playing midfield, I think that's because it allows her to pretty much go EVERYWHERE. And that's ok since she is still figuring out the whole position thing. After working with U10 girls its very fun to watch these little girls play. Who knows, maybe she will follow in her big sister and cousin's footsteps in playing soccer...as long as she can control the need to cartwheel...I guess you can't ask for everything!

This month Abigail recieved Student of The Month. We are so proud of her and all of her accomplishments. She always tries hard and is always well behaved in class....we were lucky to have all three be chosen Student of The Month for this school year.

Student Of The Month

Quakes Performance

Wednesday night Abby performed at the Quakes Baseball Stadium. This was the second time she was able to perform. They sang the National Anthem while we all looked on. We had a great time watching and hanging with all of the Solorio families...I can't say I saw much of the game, but it was fun to gab!

Abby and Choir Friends

A Face Only A Mother Could Love...

So last night Amber informs me she has a loose tooth. I feel it, it's loose, but not really...She proceeds to spend the next 15 minutes trying to wiggle that tooth looser...then Daddy enters the picture. Within seconds the tooth was out! She has been so proud of herself to FINALLY loose a tooth. This morning she promptly got up and went down stairs to share the news with Kitty the cat..thank goodness for Daddys.

It was AWESOME!

OK, can you say AWESOME!! What an absolutely incredible show. We had so much fun. They sounded so good and oh my gosh, JON IS HOT! What a babe. Sorry the Pic isn't great. Hope you all enjoy the video. I snuck it with my camera. Oh, and Chris Daughtery opened...VERY GOOD. He came out later and performed Blaze of Glory with Jon Bon Jovi. Way cool....Wish you all could of enjoyed like I did...literally, I lost my voice!

BON JOVI!!!

Three Days To Go!

Ok, I promise...it's almost time for Bon Jovi to leave the blog! Three days to go, can't wait! But of course, wouldn't you know it, tickets were lost in the mail and we will have to pick up new tickets at will call....I'll do it though, anything to see my Johnny...What a Hottie!

Me and Dave

Me and my Grizzly Adams! Dave was given a new assignment with the department and has been working on changing his looks. Lucky for me it's like having two men in my life! He is excited and looking forward to the change. He wanted to go a little scruffy...mission accomplished!

Meteor Crater in Arizona

On the way to ABQ we stopped in Winslow, Arizona and saw the crater that was left after a meteor fell 50,000 years ago. The girls had fun seeing it. It was amazing how big the crater was! This was a place Dave's Grandmother took him many years ago. As he says..."once in a lifetime opportunity to see it," twice for him now!

Messing Around with Jeff and Charlotte

Of Course the girls couldn't resist trying on hats
in Santa Fe. Looks like Jeff and Charlotte had fun
trying on hats too!

The Albuquerque Zoo

The zoo was a lot of fun.
They love seeing the animals.
Their favorites, the elephant,
polar bear and monkey..
Daddy's favorites?
His girls....

Albuquerque or BUST!

Finally after a lot of talk, we made the journey to ABQ, New Mexico to see Jeff and Charlotte over Spring Break. I say "journey" because it truely was..after 11 hours in the car we finally arrived at their home. We had a fun time with them and they definately were great hosts! We traveled to the top of a mountain to stand in 37 degree weather, drove to Santa Fe to eat at the Cowgirl, saw the ABQ temple, played a little poker and roulette, and took our little animals to see other animals at the ABQ zoo! The girls love their Uncle Jeff and Aunt Charlotte, but I know after 4 days...they were ready to have their home back. All and all it was a great time, but I will leave that for you to discover for yourself! Jeff and Charlotte....move back here, we miss you!

Easter

So this year Easter was actually VERY relaxing! We had planned on having company, but when that fell through we ended up celebrating just as a family. Of course if I had my choice, I would of rather been with all of my extended family, but in the end, it was a wonderful day. The day started with the girls waking up to their Easter baskets and more webkins! Then a nice breakfast and off to church. We came home to 83 degree weather and had a quick Easter egg hunt in the back yard...we had to hurry before those chocolates melted. Then on the dinner. Can you say leftovers? Yes I had enough funeral...oh, excuse me, "holiday potatoes" to last me a lifetime and of course I had chosen the BIGGEST ham possible from Costco..oh well. It was good..compliments of Chef Dave..Then on to a movie and a walk in the dark. Couldn't have asked for more...ok, I could of, but I didn't!

WorldVenture Friends

WorldVentures National Convention

WOW! I can't believe it has been almost two months since I have blogged! I am so sorry to those of you who are sick of seeing Jon Bonjovi! This last month has been crazy busy for us! Dave and I had the opportunity to attend WorldVentures National Convention in Las Vegas. It was AWESOME! There were almost 5,000 attendees. It was held at the RIO which is slightly off the strip. It was great! We had almost 50 people from our team attend. This company is really doing some great stuff in the short time it's been around! I truely hope we can get our financial freedom, our time back and make lots of memories traveling the world with our family! I hope you will all consider getting on board! Wouldn't it be fun to go places together? Ok, not ALL the time...here are a few of our friends! Happy traveling!
