Becky's Day Out...sorta...

It's Easter break, no school...ahhh! That's what I had hoped for, but...my afternoon out with Dina turned out differently. We did to eat lunch together, however it was down the street from the DMV. The DMV that I HAD to go to because they had the shortest wait time, yeah right! I wasn't even planning to go the DMV that day because I was going on Friday to renew my license which was about to expire. Rich says, it's furlough Friday...they're closed tomorrow. They were closed yesterday, too because it was Caesar Chavez day, do these people ever work??!!
So...after standing in line to get a number we sat for a short while and quickly realized this would be a forever wait. We went to lunch and came back, then sat.

I went back to the truck and got our coupon books since we had time to organize while we were sitting! Three and a half hours later...unbelievable. Just to take a picture and pay my money. Sheesh...

At least Dina was a good sport about it.

Me, my number, and my stinking form that you can't download from the internet...

After the DMV we drove to drop off our Disney blankets at the coordinators house for the Binky Patrol...Disneyland, here we come!

Really Aaron...you want me to blog this?

I can't believe I'm even typing words to go with these pictures. Aaron has had this wart bothering him for awhile so I made a Dr. appointment so he could be seen. We've been trying OTC meds to get rid of it, but nothings working and he really needs to get rid of it before he runs his upcoming race. The first pic wasn't good enough, "Get closer to it," he said. Sheesh! Aaron was all fine and dandy till the Dr. said that he would freeze the other one off (not this big one)...with dry ice...aka...liquid nitrogen! Aaron is a chemistry fan so he immediately started freaking out and spouting out all kinds of chemistry terms and facts about liquid nitrogen. His Dr. agreed and said that Aaron was right, but still said he needed to freeze the smaller wart. My son calmed down and had his baby wart frozen. Then he was able to do some fun stuff in the hospital hallway with the leftover dry ice, ask him about it!

Meeting Claire in San Francisco on Mom's Birthday

During Easter break Kim and I took a quick trip to San Francisco with my Mom and Dad. Kimmie (Josh's girlfriend) and Claire flew up to visit Kimmie's brother with her mom. We couldn't pass up an opportunity to visit them, even if just for a few hours!
We took the windy drive down Lombard Street to show Kim...

Waiting in front of Boudin's Bakery for Kimmie's cab.

Claire and Kim...cutest cousins ever!

Claire shows Grandma Jill the Elmo sweatshirt she wants!

Claire and Papa Doug

...playing with his new "Life is Good" golf hat.

Isn't she just the cutest girl ever? Her personality matches her smile, too!

It's Grandma Jill's birthday today. We ate dinner upstairs at the Bakery, super yummy but slow horrible service. Maybe because we were there so late, oh well!

Aaron and baseball, again!

It's that time of year again, already! The team has been conditioning together since December and officially practicing every day they can when it's not raining. The first official game was February 20th and then 25 more games will take us to the end of the season on May 13th...baseball season lasts forever!
Ruth took some great pics of Aaron pitching, thank you! I love to see every move and how much Aaron puts into each pitch!

He chose to be 10, because well...it's a nice "even" number, according to Mr. Monk.

Check out that stretch!

No pinching here!

Outiside...

...and inside!

It's March 17th and the leprechauns visited our house...again! It's a bonus to having a preschool in your home. The other bonus is always being able to find something green to wear....Kim didn't fail in finding something to wear to school.

Just Kim...

The wildflowers have been beautiful around here...spring is here. I thought it would be fun to go out and take pictures in the flowers, but the day became crazy. Kim was still wanting to take some pictures so we ventured into our back yard instead.
She sure is growing up...way too fast!

Kim is always fun to be around, serious and silly! She took the picture below to email to Grandpa Sperry. He grows the best peas around, but we're learning!

Grace and Noah stop by for a visit

It was a beautiful Saturday morning when Scott, Tiffany, Grace and Noah stopped by.

We were outside cleaning the yard because there was finally sunshine. This is my nanking cherry bush...I know it just looks like a stick in the ground, but really it is a plant, and it made it through the winter. Thank goodness because this little plant has put on some miles already. He started in Idaho where Grandpa Sperry cut a start from his big bush. Grandma Jill brought him to California where he spent a winter in a pot (right after we moved). Finally he was put in the ground last summer and so far...he is still alive!

Here is our pea plants...lots of blossoms, can't wait for peas!

Just a few of our carrots, yahoo!

Noah thinks they are pretty good!

Grace washes hers off.

Kim and Noah looking for worms, and they found some!

Grandma Weaver was weeding the area around our small little SMUD trees...the stakes holding them up are larger in diameter than our poor little trees!

Noah shows off his worm!

Grace on top of our new teeter-totter.
