Easter Sunday

teamespy — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 22:32:05 +0000

Happy Easter!
The kids and I went to church this morning, picked Eric up and drove out to Sun City West to our grandparents house. We hung out at their house for a little bit then went out to eat. The first restaurant we went to was a COMPLETE NO! The place was packed and so the second choice was WAY better! It was quiet, you could actually hear what one another had to say and we really enjoyed our time together. We stayed there for a couple hours! Ivan was getting pretty fussy, hence he had no nap. Well, I took Elle to the restroom and he did not like me leaving him with the rest of the family. Soon after we were gone, Lee came into the restroom with Ivan. Ivan, Elle and I get back to our table and their was a huge Easter basket at Ivan’s place. So the kids fight over the basket for a while, and then appears a basket for Elle! Two happy tired kids ready to get in the car and sleep.

We had a great day and ended it off with a couple pieces of candy! Hope you had a great Easter too!

My friend Jodi had her family, Nicole’s family and mine over to celebrate Easter. The food was fantastic, the kids had an amazing Easter egg hunt, we swam and played volleyball. It was a blast.

First day of school

Ivan started school today! YES! The day after his 2nd birthday! Ivan did not cry, he was nervous; he had his fingers in his mouth like Elle does when she gets nervous. Too cute. I wish I had my camera to video his reaction when we went to pick him up. He was so excited, talking up a storm, jumping, laughing and just did not want to leave. School is going to be so good for him!

Ivan turned 2 today! He is getting so big. I love him so much and he is so proud to be two. Elle and I sang him happy birthday, he blew his candle out and opened his presents then went to bed. He had a great day! Happy Birthday to my little man! I love you so much!

Glamma’s in town

teamespy — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 13:38:02 +0000

Glamma and grandpa Lee came to AZ this weekend and stayed at The Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort. Its a great time there, we hang out and swim all day, take a boat ride, eat and just relax. The kids were so excited to go swimming, but it took them a LONG time to get into the water if they did at all. If we took them under the water you would have thought we were trying to kill them, they were screaming so loud. I took them each down the water slide a couple times and I enjoyed it, don’t think they did. They will be fish here in no time, they have to refresh their skills from Infant Swimming Resources starting the end of May!

Anyways, we had a great short visit with Glamma and Grandpa Lee. We celebrated the kids birthdays and Easter. They got to see Elle’s first soccer game. We can’t wait to see them again!

Elle and Soccer

teamespy — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 13:42:31 +0000

Well, a couple of Elle’s friends play soccer and last year we went to many games. She always told me she wanted to play, so when I signed her up for this spring soccer I thought she would be good to go. Well, it has definitely been a challenge getting her excited to play. She is really good at kicking the ball back and forth with me and some of her friends. However, when it comes to practicing/playing with her team its another story. She freezes, runs funny, walks, twirls her hair and looks like she is in lala land! Its pretty comical.

Today was her first game, and her coach was great. When she was in to play, she did a lot of wandering around. He got her into the game and let her kick the ball in from off the field and assisted in our first goal. So that was exciting and comical.
