Back to the Beach, May 2014

Derek's first vacation as a baby was a trip to the beach and we try to make it back every year. This was our third trip to Carlsbad State Beach!

Waterfall Hike

Derek made the 2 mile hike in the white tanks regional park. This is the first time we all had went even though it is literally right in our backyard. Arizona is beautiful in the Spring!!

Go Wildcats-Elite 8

Derek really enjoyed painting a banner and watching the wildcats in the tournament. They did an amazing job even though they got beat by UConn in the elite 8.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Bonzo and Derek are all smiles even though they are too young to drink! Derek has his shamrock Cubs hat on and Bonzo his spring break t-shirt!

Spring Baseball and Spring Training

Derek was finally old enough to start baseball (5) and he loved that too!! He is the one hitting and out in the field in ready position! They got to play on the the practice fields of the KC Royals and Texas Rangers (Surprise is their Spring Training Home)!! We got to go the first Spring Training game on an outing with our neighborhood. The field is absolutely gorgeous and kid friendly too!!

Bonzo During the Holidays

Couldn't resist posting this of our dog Bonzo during the holidays. He did not want to miss any of the action so he decided to take in the view from our "best zebra chair."

Christmas Baking with the Neighbors

The neighbors invited Derek over to bake and he came home with these mice and homemade dog treats!!
