COUSINS!!!!!!!!!

We had our annual San Diego Cousin night. Maggie wore her cheerleading outfit there, she wanted to show them her routine. The kids ended up doing performances for us...including a cutie eating contest between Henry and Jack. It was HILARIOUS.

Runs in San Diego = Bliss

This year I got to get in a lot of fun runs...the waterfront....balboa park. I was listening to Maya Angelou's book about her mom for most of my runs. Gotta say sun + running + maya = heaven.

These are just some of the sights from my runs.

Padre Home Opener

The Padres had a home opener when we were there at 1PM. We thought it would be a fun experience for the kids given we have never been to a baseball game together....what.... a sporting event we don't normally go to...what is that?!?!?!?!

It was SUPER fun and the seats were very cool....although they scared henry. That said..holy drunk people....you catching a theme here?

Cardiff by The Sea

We had to make our annual trek to the kids FAVORITE beach -- Cardiff by the sea. This year we had our soccer tennis, football and all sorts of fun. I had to work while there, but it was fun as I was reading super interesting work material and I mean....what a great view......

Zoo and Golfing...not Together

Henry is currently obsessed with golfing. So two days, Mark and Henry went golfing while the girls and I played.

One day we went to the Zoo. A-MAZ-ING. The animals were incredible and the girls had such stamina -- we walked the entire thing!!!!!!!!!!! They LOVED the gondola...which when we took henry has a kid he was so scared that he almost puked.So different than the last time we were there with strollers, snacks, and naptimes to consider.

Pacific Beach

After a fun day of swimming in the pool and watching basketball, we decided to take the kids to the Pacific beach boardwalk for sunset and the dinner. We though it would be a fun thing on a Sunday night.

HOLY MOLY.

My version of a Sunday Funday is games, ccd, grocery shopping, and usually working at night.

Apparently some people do a different Sunday Funday that starts with Bloody Mary's at brunch.

HOLY DRUNK people.

Thankfully, the kids were focused on the  beach and the family game of beach volleyball....which we are all really, really bad at.

We decided to vacate drunk-land and go to Old Town for Mexican food.

Henry ate his first taco.

It was a big deal.

Cowles Mountain

We were lucky enough to head back to San Diego for Spring Break. The first day was a Saturday...with March Madness games...so Mark did a great job and picked out a cool hike we could do in the am before the games. We did Cowles Mountain, the highest peak in San Diego County. There was SOME whining....but it was worth it....even the carrying the 70 lb Maggie up the last part that was very steep. 

Best Reset

I had a VERY rough day at work and came home a bit defeated and beating myself up......

And then I unpacked Maggie's backpack.

Immediate Reset.
