A Full Weekend!!!

Weekends seem to go by so fast and this weekend was no different! We have had a very busy two and a half days! Friday night we had our end of the season soccer party! We met at a park at Miramar Friday afternoon for pizza, cake and lots of playing. The kids had a great time!!!

Here is our cake............isn't it great!!

I had it done at the commissary at Miramar! If you look closely it may look like a sheet cake but really it was done all with cupcakes!!!The kids enjoyed their pizza!!

The Stingers!



Saturday morning was our final game of the season!!!
And of course our favorite player #16 was back in the box!!!
After the game we had our trophy ceremony!!!
#16 Jack Anderson!!!

The Stingers with their wonderful coaches and trophies!!!

Great Season Stingers!!! My friend Heather and I were "Team Moms" for our team!! We got trophies too so we had to have a picture taken with us and our kids!! Don't Jack and Megan look thrilled to be doing this with us?

After soccer we came home to check on our chicks and change clothes, then we headed out for some fun!!! We went up to Carlsbad to the strawberry fields to pick our own strawberries!!! The boys were so excited and had a great time!!!

Nick kept asking if he could eat them the minute he picked it from the plant!!
The strawberry's were so big, beautiful, sweet, juicy and in full season!! Jack loved picking them and now doesn't want to buy them at the store any more. He asked if we could go pick strawberries every week!!!

The first thing we did when we got home was wash our strawberries up and put them in a bowl!!

Don't they look beautiful?

It was hard to keep the boys out of the berries -- they are so good!!!

After our tummies were full of berries we all headed to the garage!! It was time to check on the chicks and let them have a little fun out of their blue house!!!

The boys had a great time letting the chicks "explore" our backyard!!!

I was a little worried about Nick with the chicks but he was so gentle with them and really listened to Jack and it was sweet to watch!!!

Jack absolutely loved having these three little guys here with us this weekend!!!

I just loved the smile that was on his face when he was playing with the chicks!!!

I think the chicks love (as much as chickens can love) Jack too!!!

They would follow him all over the yard!!!

Saturday night Jack and I went with Aunt Elizabeth down to the beach (at 10:45 pm) here in PB to greet the grunions!!! However, there was not one fish to greet but we had a nice walk on the beach!

That brings us to Sunday and Mother's Day!!! We had a nice day at home! Aunt Elizabeth came down to spend the day with us!! We just hung out at home, played outside with the dogs and chicks (but not at the same time!) and grilled out for dinner!!!

Jack enjoying his time with the chicks before their return to school!

The boys really loved playing with them!!!

Before Aunt Elizabeth left last night we tried to take a picture of the "mom's with the kids"! Let me tell you, this might be the hardest picture to get ever.....try getting three dogs and two kids (ages 6 1/2 and 2 1/2) all to look at the camera at the same time!!! Its not easy and this is the best we could do..............

Wow, what a weekend!!! Filled with lots of firsts, lasts and love!! Perfect!!!

And to all the mom's out there..........Happy Mother's Day!!!

To my mom, I thank you for being the mom, wife and woman you are!! Because of you I know how to be a great mom to my boys!!! Your the best mom any girl could ever want and I'm luck to call you mine!!! I love you Mom!!!

And to all my girlfriends.......you are all amazing moms and you inspire me every day!! I love you!!!
