Living the good life

We scored tickets to go to the Padres Opening Night
They played the Dodgers & won.

We started in these seats

Then we were able to move to the COX box

Beautiful

And then we headed to the VIP section

So close to the action...2nd row

What an amazing night!

Our growth group

Can you tell we are parents of preschool age children?

Photo shoot

Our extrovert daughter occasionally loves to work the camera.

"Check out these karate moves, Mama"

She thinks it is hilarious to lean over (exhibit A) and fall over on the floor like she is crashing (exhibit B).  It is not a very good move, but it has come to make us laugh out loud A LOT.

"What?!?"

"You've gotta be kidding me?  

My sister thinks I need all these pink friends around me in the swing.  

She's really cramping my style!"

A few old pics

Shopping for Christmas presents...

When you have kids, you enter the world of birthday parties.  We haven't had tons of them, but here are pics from a couple.  It is always nice to let the kids run & play while you catch up with friends.

The Pescar house

(Check out B & A driving in the car.  This was before they almost crashed full speed into the house, another car, and a wall.  B also ran over another kid's bare foot. In his defense, she jumped in front of the car. I guess we have to work on the driving skills!)

Mikaela (one of B's AWANA friends)

Living out here we occasionally have some weird creatures appear.  

This spider was outside...don't worry.

Loving on Coleman

It amazes me how much Bennett & Autumn love Coleman.

Coleman is so much more aware these days & really loves interacting with his siblings.

Autumn shares "baby" with Coleman

Coleman listening to Autumn "read"

Then listening to Bennett read

Bennett thinks it is hilarious to make Coleman smile

We love our time with these silly kiddos!

FINALLY!!!

As you know, we love the rain! To say that it's been a bit dry this season would be an understatement!

We were quite thankful for a good rain!

Splashing in the puddles

With all the wind, avocados fell (along with some major branches), so the kids had a blast hunting for avos.

Stopping to show off his Hulk umbrella

Can't slow her down!

The BUMBO

If you have ever had one, you know that the Bumbo seat is awesome.

Coleman can now "sit" in it!

And Autumn still fits in it!

As does Bennett!
