She Hits!

Princess Party

Logan had a very special birthday to go to this past weekend for one of her classmates from preschool. She talked about going to the party every day last week. It was a princess themed party, so Logan decided to dress up as Snow White. The party was at a cute little frozen yogurt shop that had a huge room you could reserve for parties. Princess Ariel showed up for some songs and face painting. Logan was so happy to see her classmates and she had such a great time.

Sweet Girls

Came across these pictures of my sweet girls. Love them so much!!

St. Patrick's Day at School

The girls are celebrating St. Patrick's Day at school today.  They headed to school wearing their finest Irish gear. At Logan's school, they are making shamrock shakes. I'm sure she'll just love those. Peyton's school is having a Jello eating contest. Two of Peyton's friends will be competing, so I know she'll be excited to tell me who won. In other news... Peyton lost her second tooth yesterday! The permanent tooth was already coming in so it doesn't look like she just lost a tooth, but she did. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Softball Game

Peyton played in her first softball game of the season this past weekend. The good news is… Peyton got a hit off of the pitcher and not the coach. Which, apparently is pretty rare. She even scored a run! The bad news is… her team lost 4 - 2. We were so proud of her because she was the only one on her team to get a hit off of the pitcher. She only had one at bat during the game. In this league, the games last 70 minutes, period. Unfortunately, most of the girls only get to bat once during the game. Below are some of the pictures I took during the game.

Fabulous 40

Last night, I celebrated my friend Julie's 40th birthday. We danced, we boogied, we laughed and just had a great time spending the evening with friends. I think I danced for about 3 hours straight. (No wonder my knees and feet are killing today.)  Happy birthday to one of the sweetest and most caring persons I know!!

Softball Time

Peyton started softball this past month. This will be her second year of softball.  She recently had opening ceremonies and picture day. Here are a few pictures I took...

 



Spring Training

This past weekend, we went to visit Geoff at spring training. My niece Shea flew in from Oregon to join us. We got there Friday afternoon and headed straight to the stadium. The girls were so excited to see daddy! Logan said she wanted to hang on to his leg forever and never let him go. Friday night we stayed in and got take out from PF Changs. We were all pretty tired from the drive.

Saturday we went to visit Geoff at the stadium. Shea was so excited because she finally got to meet Mike Trout. We all got to meet Josh Hamilton and he was super nice. My nephew Dillon goes to ASU so he joined us with his girlfriend Lauren. We ended up at Scottsdale Mall for lunch and a little shopping. LOVE that mall.

Sunday the Angels played the Cubs at home. We headed to the stadium super early so we could watch batting practice. The girls were on a mission for some autographs (with a little help from dad). The girls Geoff managed to get autographs from Mike Trout, Vernon Wells, Jered Weaver and Mark Trumbo. The girls were being so shy! My niece got an opportunity to take a picture with Mike Trout… best day ever for her! So we watched the game and ended up in some great seats by the 9th inning… right next to dad. After the game, we got to hang out in the dugout. Boys are really dirty and messy during the games! The girls said hi to Mike Scioscia, but they were too shy to ask him for an autograph.

Sunday night, we went to one of our favorite restaurants, Rustler’s Rooste. It’s known as “the restaurant with the slide” to my girls. Dillon and Lauren joined us too. Dillon really got a chance to see how silly and crazy his little cousins are. I was so sad because I left my camera at home so I have no pictures from dinner. 

Monday morning, we drove home. We were so sad to say bye to daddy. Those 4 days went by way too quickly!
