California Trip

We just took a family trip to the OC. It was loads of fun an loads of work with the kids. Here are a few pics.

Easter and Christy

This is my best friend Christy. We met 17 years ago at a mutual activity when some snotty older girl wanted to "beat me up" do to a mis-understanding and Christy stepped in and showed this girl who was boss. We have been through pretty much about everything-highschool, college, dating, heartaches, missions, family reunions,vacations,jobs,roomates. I seriously dont have a single memory without her in it.She is an amazing, funny, talented person and I am lucky to know her. She visited me last week during my widow days while my accountant husband is tied up till the 15th.We had a blast. Thanks for everything girl.
Jack got really excited to pick up the candy and put it in his basket. The only problem was once he got one piece in his hand he would stop hunting and start opening.

Jack and his Heideman cousins after the candy hunt was over.
Jack was having an afternoon snack after we got back from the grocery store and he would not let go of his balloon.

Typical Jack Day

We have a field behind our house where somebody keeps their horses. The past few months Jack has been quite obsessed with going and feeding them. When he wakes up in the morning he says..Horsie! When he wakes up from a nap he says..horsie! As soon as Eric gets home from work he says..horsie! At first it was really cute but it has really been driving us crazy. It doesn't matter if its a nice day or not we go and see the horses at least 5 times a day. We usually cut an apple in half and as we are waiting for them to come over he eats part of the apple. When they finally come to the fence Jack willingly shares what is left. If they dont come over he likes to set his apple down and try again later.Also, I have been letting Jack take a book in his crib when I lay him down for his afternoon nap. After he stops talking I go and get the book out and this is usually what I find.

Look whos sitting up and lovin it!
