Julia's braces

Julia's big news is that on February 16th she got braces. She looks really good with them.

Of course she got the pink bands.  

Club Volleyball

Julia has been playing on a Club Volleyball team since November.  They have played in 4 tournaments so far and they all have improved so much.  Julia loves volleyball and has really enjoyed being on the team. 

One of the other moms on the team took these pictures.

Zach is 9!

I can't believe our baby is 9!  With Cubs and baseball making for a very busy night, we didn't get a picture of our late night eating of the birthday cake.  His main present was an electric guitar and an amp.  We picked it up at the music store the weekend before his birthday so he got to enjoy it a little early.  He sounds great!

Happy Birthday Zach!

Basketball 2011-2012 season

Basketball season came and went and I don't have any good pictures to show for it.  Both Josh and Zach had a great year.  One day before their games I took some action shots of the boys in the backyard. 

Disneyland 2012

We had a great time at Disneyland last week.  The weather was great and we had 3 days of fun!  Saturday morning the park was on lockdown due to a suspicious package left by the entrance gate.  No one was let in or out of Disneyland for about 3 hours.  We were already in the park and so we enjoyed the whole morning of no lines at any ride!  There was hardly anyone there and we went on about 2 days worth of rides in those 3 hours.  Fortunately the package turned out to be nothing.

 

The new Star Wars ride was awesome.  We went on at least 3 times a day. 

Finding Nemo 

Indiana Jones is another favorite we did multiple times every day
