Happy 4th of July!























We had a fun Independence Day!!! We started out doing the Baldwin Park bike parade followed by a pancake breakfast. At around 6 we headed over to Osborne's for some swimming, fishing, lots of eating- smoked salmon, steak, hot dogs, lots of salad, watermellon, brownies... lots of food. Then a night of fire works, a bonfire- quickly followed by a firetruck showing up with 4 firemen. What's more American than a firetruck on the 4th of July?!

Go Seminoles!









Tyson played softball this year. He had fun but I don't know that he'll want to sign up again. He liked playing once we got there but he would rather just stay home and ride bikes and scooters. We had fun watching him- he was a good hitter and would hit right handed even though he's a lefty. He was the most fun in the out field though, where he would spin in circles marking his spot where the coach told him to stand!

Easter Weekend



















We had an action packed Easter weekend that started off with the annual Baldwin Park Easter celebration. Our neighborhood does such a great job and my kids love the egg hunt, bounce houses, and booths. That afternoon we FINALLY bought trees for our back yards (post to come later). That night we had date night with AJ and Tessa at stake conference followed by dinner and dessert at Wingers. The next day we went to Easter dinner at Aj and Tessa's and had amazing food and company. All of the Osbornes except Taylor was there. I love this family and it seems like we don't get to see them near enough- I miss the good old days when we saw them daily.To finish off the weekend we colored eggs- 18 of them and me and Bart might eat two in a salad!!We had such a fun weekend- beautiful spring weather and soooo much food -I'm so sad it is over!
