"Don't stress the could haves--if it should have, it would have..."

"Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be."

I am sitting in the backyard watching Caiti and Avril play on the trampoline. There is such a nice breeze out right now. It's gorgeous outside!!

"Having a rough morning? Place your hand over your heart. Feel that? That's called purpose. You're alive for a reason. Don't give up."

"Don't PRAY for an easy life, PRAY for the strength to endure a hard one..."

Birthday Ballgame

 Jay loves going to ballgames! So of course when I asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday, he said "I'd like to go to a Padres game". Even though they have a terrible record this year, I went and got some tickets. Lucky for him they had a home game on his birthday. We picked him up from work, got the kids some Padres shirts and headed over to the game (after a little tour around San Diego).  The game was a lot of fun and the Padres even WON! I told Jay it was because of his presence there! HA HA! This was the first time we had been to Petco Park. It is a very nice ballfield. I was really impressed with what San Diego did.

Day at the Beach

 One of the things the kids were so excited about when they heard we were moving back to California was the fact that we would be so close to the beach! This was the first trip we've taken out to the beach since we moved here and the kids loved it! They could have stayed out there all day. Jason even got to come have lunch with us. His office is literally within walking distance to the beach. It's too bad he doesn't have any windows to be able to have a spectacular view everyday...I'm sure that would make work a little more enjoyable! HA! My friend, Krystle and her daughter Baylee, joined us at the beach. It was a lot of fun!
