The Curran Theatre

So while we were out sightseeing we found the Curran theatre (if you do not know this is my maiden name). This is the play that was currently showing. The two guys dressed as women fit perfectly in our family. Those Curran's, I always knew they were a little fruity. We did not get to see it but wanted to, it looked funny.

Golden Gate Bridge Bike Ride

This is the bike trip that we took from Fisherman's Warf down to the Golden Gate Bridge and over to Salsolito. It was really windy so it made the ride challenging. We found out as we are riding to the bridge that my mom has a fear of bridges and did not think she would make it. Well she did great and it was a great ride. We stopped at the Farmer's Market and ate the best fruit. We rode the ferry back to where we started.

Happy Birthday Ellie! Big #7!!

Today is Ellie's 7th birthday. She woke up in a pile of balloons. She thought it was so cool. They had water day at school and the girls and I brought in Krispy Kreme doughnuts, juice, and candy necklaces. The class sang happy birthday to her in spanish. She loved wearing the birthday hat and being the center of attention. She will have her birthday party this year with her brother at Bounce U later this month. We are going for dinner at Uncle Bear's where they have a magician and peanuts to throw on the floor. Right now she is on a date with her Grandma Ellie shopping for birthday presents.

Ellie's BIG Dance Recital

Last weekend Ellie had her dance recital. They practice all year for this day. She performed two dances one in tap and one in jazz. The tap was to a mix of songs like "YMCA, Do you love me, Ride the train". Then the jazz was to"We got the beat". She did a great job and had a lot of fun. We are so proud of her.

Summer is Back

We are officially in summer. I know the calendar says June 20th but in AZ it comes much earlier. We start counting it when the temp. is 100 or over. Thank goodness for swimming pools. This year Jaren and Ellie will be taking diving lessons, Liv will be in her own class, and I will be in a mommy and me class with Tae.

Poor Tyler

Poor little Tyler got a little sick and ended up in the hospital. In the middle of May Ty woke up with a chest pain that felt like indegestion. The problem was it would not go away. All day he was hurting. He decided to go to Urgent Care at 7 that night. They ran some tests and thought it was pretty serious and sent him to the ER. Meanwhile I keep telling him it is not a big deal and he can go to the doc. tomorrow. I know big jerk trying to save a little money. Well he insisted it was a big deal and went to the ER. They ran tests and admitted him. He had pancritious, and gall stones. They waited for the stone that was stuck to pass and finally did surgery to remove the gall bladder 2 days later. He was in for 4 days and then came home. He had to be on light duty because of the nature of his job for 3 weeks. He is back on regular duty now and feeling fine. I need to be a little more sensitive to him I have learned. Sorry Ty=(

3-Day update

I have started my training for the three day. When you sign up they give you a virtual trainer that tells you how to train. This is a hard for me because it is so boring to walk and walk. I walked the three miles the first day and decided I was bored and had to go back to my spin, step, and lift classes. I still walk on some days but it is so hard to not want to freak out it gets so BORING. I can't wait for the training days with other 3 day walkers. I enjoy the social part of walking. I have raised $1,075.00 so far. I am 49% there. I am so excited. I can't wait to get the fund raising out of the way. It stresses me out a little. I will keep you posted.

So Sad Baseball is over!

Actually is was a great day when Jaren's team lost the second game in the tournament. This meant baseball was over and it was right when the weather was getting ridiculous to sit in. All in all the Padres had a great year and Jaren really improved. It was a transition from coach pitch to kid pitch. He should be ready next year.

Livi's new do!

Yesterday Liv got her summer cut. She wanted it short like Tae's but I couldn't go that short. She has great hair that just dries so nicely. I am jealous. It is a perfect sassy cut for her sassy personality.

I need your help.

Hello family and friends. I have just commited to raising $2,200.00 by November. I will be walking in the 60 mile 3 day walk. I am so excited about doing this. I need your help in contributing to the cause in my name. I will accept whatever you can afford. I am so pumped about this journey and the experience I will have. We all have boobs whether you are a man or a woman and we all know someone with boobs so it affects us all. I thank you in advance for helping support me. Now make a donation at the3day.org.

Future Rock Star

Tae was rockin the keyboard with a Minnie Mouse hat on. She was so serious about it. We captured the moment for when she is on VH1 sharing her life on how she got started. That would be hillarious huh!

Batters Up!

The baseball season has offically begun. Jaren is on the Padres and is playing in the minors. This has been a whole new experience for us. Jaren is playing on a actual field with dug outs and stuff. I am used to seeing and being able to talk to him. Now he is with the boys and on his own. I am sure he loves it but it is different for me. This is definately a learning year since he is skipping over rookie year. They did not have enough players so they gave us a choice. Jaren wanted Minors instead of coach pitch. So this year is a real challenge which he is up for. He is number 2 (second smallest on the team) and plays outfield and second base.

Girls washing their daddy's ride.

This is my flower garden that we made since the front was all rocks. It adds some color and I taught the younger girls about plants and flowers and how they live.

Easter Sunday

The kids looked so cute all ready for church. Tae is not in the pic. because she was sleeping. My intentions were good but I needed to be sane at church so she went down for a nap. I meant to get one at church but yada yada I forgot and so this is the pic. I got of her eating her chocolate marshmellow bunny. Her favorite treat. Just like her mom loving the chocolate.

Easter morning

Here is where the kids Easter baskets were hiding. I had a trail of jelly beans for the kids to follow. The hard part was finding which basket and trail was theirs. The kids had fun helping each other and finding all the silly places their baskets were hiding. Jaren's was in the oven. Ellie's was on top of the entertainment center. Olivia's was in the bath tub. Finally Tae's was in the hall. They each got a toy and some treats. We went to my parents for dinner while Ty went to work. It was a nice day.
