The City By The Bay

Tex, Tristan and I went to see Steve, Gail and the kids for the weekend. Colin and Carrie were sick so we hung out in the city until after Gail took Carrie to the doctor. Our first stop was the Hard Rock Cafe for lunch. Tex is a big pin collector and he wanted to go there for lunch. Sheree, you would be proud I had hot wings, the hot ones too! I have this new found facination with them?

After we had lunch we walked down the Pier to do a little shopping and check out the sea lions!




It was a beatiful day in the city condidering it has been raining here.



We saw this funny show going on at the end of the pier. This girl was performing and had two guys from the audiance hold her up while she was juggling knives. She was so funny!



This is a picture we took as we headed back to Steve and Gails up Highway 1. Amazing!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Mom turned 21 today. We took her to McGrath's for her first beer. Then we went back to her house to open presents and have strawberry shortcake.

Nice hat mom!

Happy Birthday Mom!
We love you!

Built Unlimited

Today is the first day of softball season and this is the first year since I have lived in Boise that I have not played in the Polar Bear tournament. It seems I have more important things in my life these days, boy I never thought I would say that! Since we were not playing we decided to go down to the fields and watch Cam play. It was like a Hall family reunion. We saw, Tevie, Brittles, and Johnnie.

Tristan found some friend to play with. It was the cutest thing! The two kids would run past Tristan and he would just laugh! The little girl that he was playing with says "he is just crazy" they had so much fun!


Well, we won't talk about the score of this game but I can say that Cam hit well. Needles to say unlimited homeruns in this tournament and his team got run ruled.

Nice form...

Brittles

Nice photo Mac!

It was such a beautiful day out! It was nice to be at the fields with our friends and no stress!

Happy Birthday G

Well, today is Garrett's birthday. I stole this picture from his Myspace. page. Garrett is now 16. This is the first year Garrett has not been with us on his birthday since Tex and I have been together. We usually have have him over his spring break which encompasses his birthday. This visit is actually court ordered and I am not sure why he did not make it this year but I could only imagine. We tried to call him but only got his voice mail. We sang him the traditional happy birthday! I hope he had a good day! We love you and miss you G!

My friend Dano

For weeks now Dani and I have been trying to get together to go shopping. It seems like if it is not one thing it is another. Finally Dani and I planned on today, first lunch, then shopping. I headed out to Nampa and met Dano at her house. Then it was off to lunch at Wingers. Sheree would be so proud, I am up to the hot wings, I don't know what got into me? I think those wings are the best I have had. After lunch and a lot of catching up it was off to Layne Bryant. We were laughing all afternoon. We were so busy catching up that I forgot to take photo's. While we were in Layne Bryant we laughed from beginning to end. It was so funny when we left that I heard the clerk say "they laughed the entire time they were in here".

I had so much fun with Dano today! It was nice to catch up! It reminded me of when we were in school! I love you Dano!

Thank you Aunt Nita

My mom's sister sent Tristan the cutest present. We thought it would be fun to record him opening it so that Nita could watch on the blog. I loved how he tried to pack the gift back up, it was so cute! The gift is a bunny that has a pack in it that you can either heat up of freeze. This will be great in the summer when we are at the ball park! He snuggles with it already!

Thanks Aunt Nita!

Facebook & long lost friends...

I am really just getting started in Facebook and I have found my best friend from when I was growing up in Saratoga, her name is Michelle. I tracked her down once before when I lived in St. Anthony and we actually got together in West Yellowstone. Well, once Facebook was started is was pretty easy to find her and keep in touch.

Michelle is pregnant and she made a comment in Facebook that "she just had a little foot show up", I commented that those are some of the things that you miss when you adopt. Michelle wrote the nicest comment back and I hope she does not mind if I share it with all of you because it was one of the sweetest things I have ever heard...

"You do miss out on some moments when you adopt, but that
is just 9 mos. out of your child's life.  A parent is the
person who dries the tears, gives the hugs and high
fives, and teaches the child to be the great person they
are meant to be- "you didn't grow under my heart,
but in it!"

Thank you for such sweet words Michelle!
