March Fun

William had Spring Break the week of March 14, so I decided we

needed to take advantage of his time off and make one last trip
to California before little brother arrives. We were away for 2 weeks
and had a packed schedule and STILL did not see everyone
and do everything I had hoped for.
(Sorry for those of you we missed.)

The kids seated and enjoying their Starbucks water.
(a treat in their minds- shh)

Somehow I was unaware that we had 3 stops with a change of planes!
It was a long day but the kids did great with no naps!
We all slept great that night!

Playdate- @ Hap McGee park

Park playdate with Miss Janet, Enzo and Gianna

Girl Time

How cute is this place?!
I was able to have a few hours to myself for a coffee,
pedicure and catching up with my dear friend Amanda.
Amanda and I were children FREE!
Thanks to our parents for playing the kids so we could catch up.

Pink and blue toes
Amanda just had a baby girl 9 weeks prior

Enjoying the BEAUTIFUL colorful hills of the Bay

With all the rain the Bay Area hills were GORGEOUS!
Daffodils, yellow mustard and bright green grasses covered the hills.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Made me miss home all the more.

I had to grab a picture of the kids on this hill.
Good thing I did because the rest of the week it rained.

Bowling with the Cousins

Annabel LOVED bowling!

Kira, Beka, William, Timothy, and Caelyn

ever.

slowly!

GO Kira!

It was IMPOSSIBLE to get a group shot with everyone
looking at the camera. Here is the best one and
we only have 5 out of the 6!

After naps: storytime with Auntie Amber

Thrilling Thursday
We headed up to Truckee so we could join our playgroup friends for a
St. Patty's celebration.
I was a little worried we would not make it due to weather,
but we had safe travels and made it!
It was so much fun to see how mature all the kids are now!

Lunchtime

They even threw Dani and I a baby shower.

The kids enjoying the beautiful day on St. Paddy's Day

Traditional couch picture
There are currently NO babies- just tots and preschoolers.
We miss our Thrilling Thursday's!!!

Mom's Night Out!
It was wonderful to enjoy dinner with dear friends,
great conversations and YUMMY food!

Snowy Day

We stayed inside most of the day due to the crazy snowfall.
Annabel was found parked in the hall most of the morning creating!
It is fun to draw with water and watch it disappear!

William enjoyed playing "fire station" and rescue

Look at all the snow-
at this point of the morning we had 2 feet of snow and it was still falling
There is SO much snow. Out some of the windows all you see is snow!
It was beautiful!

The snow finally let up so we bundled up and went to enjoy it!

Not too sure of being left in the snow!

Snow Angels

A quick pause for a picture

If Papa and Grammy wanted a picture
they had to join in the snowfall fight

Trip to see Nonie

Our Final Night

Uncle D, Auntie Jackie and girls came over for one last dinner.
These cousins are WILD when they are together.
It is so fun (and exhausting) watching them play and be so silly!

Back at home
We left the rain, snow and cold weather behind,
only to be warmly greeted by 80 degree weather.
It was a shock to our systems!

Cooling off

Annabel is learning to "pump" her own legs
so I do not have to stand there and push her for hours!

We had a BLAST visiting family and friends.
Thanks to all of those who played with us!
