Summer Luv'n

Baseball season wen until mid June so this is also part of our summer too. Tanner AA padres team won our division then went on to play city series . Scott received coach good sportsmanship award , Tanner got his trophy for winning division & Mr Logan received his T-ball award. We all won. Mom & Paige got 3 happy Boys.

Tanner waiting for his swim lessons from Kirsty Ferrell by reading his book Steinbeck's Ghost for his summer reading book club . One of the 4 gr teachers did 2 books this summer for the incoming 4&5 gr. Tanner really enjoyed it and is learning.

Having fun in the hot pool. Only 21 mo apart. 2lbs and 2 in...

Logan just finishing up his lesson...love their pool

Paige doing her starfish..the first day she cried and screamed the

whole 1/2 hr and some the second day by day three Logan took this role on for some strange reason. It also DIDNT help that we choose the week with no sun my kids were shivering ...something wrong with swim lessons and no sun. We got thru it and now they want to swim all the time. Thanks to the Wolfe's across the street from us who opened their pool for us. We r their almost everyday. It 's better than having our own pool. Just pick up and go.

Scott & I splurged and bought ourselves field seat dodger for

our Bday presents this yr. So fun so different!! We had a blast. We are Happy :-D

4th July sooo patriotic ...it was on Sunday this yr

that night are block blocked off our culdesak and had a big BBQ and dessert then set off some fireworks. ooops shhh dont tell

Logan saw this dodgers at wal-mart in size 4t. it fits

Tanner was able to go to the APU new baseball

camp this summer. He loved it & learned so much.

All dolled up

I think she already lost her glass slipper.

Paige has a princess party the note on the front door said "are you a real princess"?

After reading the book the princess and the pea the card should have said are you a true princess. I just found out about this book the day before and thought it would tie right into the party. Nobody told me about this OLD book. I blame my mom. JK

Anyways we had an activity that associated with each princess.The girls all came home with painted nails face painted eye shadow. Red rose gems stones a princess tumbler and lots of princess stuff...We had fun and mom loved planning for it.Yes my husband says you wanted a little girl just do do all the girly stuff..One of the reasons...I love it..Thanks Paige for being my Sweet little girl. We love you and hope all you dreams come true.Happy 4 Bday Paige.

Best friends

Logan loves to play catcher doesn't quit get the whole idea but just loves being out on the fields and playin ball it s a darn good thing Mom & dad love baseball and are coaching and practicing with them almost daily... they love correction we love it. baseball season we live at the ball park if its not the little league then we are at the DODGERS.. Some parents cant stand baseball or go for the kids and support. Some complain .. I don't mind it a bit. I don't think i have missed a game yet...plus when we are at the fields I don't have to cook... shhhh that the real reason. don't tell. We usually dont get home till 7:30 no time to cook and we have to be there @ 4:40 so not much time before either. JK

Very cute perfect for this age too. $6.00 matinee tickets some popcorn we are set. Then back home for some pizza and cake. and a good game of baseball. Tanner has been saving up for a DS.Almost there. Tanner has been doing much better in school, his grades improved, he's graduated to bobcat in scouts and is a great baseball player.

Spring Break

Easter morning

This Easter vacation it used to be called now its spring break. It really bothers me. Any how we had no church this Easter because it was conference so it was nice not to rush off and spend quality time as a family. Conference was great. Kids loves hunting for eggs, every year they get harder and harder to find and less candy. I like that part.We then headed over to in-laws for dinner at 1 :( I don't get it either... Scott then surprised us with an overnight trip to San Diego and went to the Zoo. We loved the walking and looking... Beautiful day to. Not hot not cool. Wed we already had plans to go to Disneyland actually ca Adventure with the Jordan's. It was relaxing and sunny perfect weather, a little breeze. Too many people so we left after Californian screaming. Paige went on Soaring and tower of terror and Tanner has to work his way through the emotions. He's gonna be 9 you know. Thursday we went and got haircuts and let the kids play. Sure wish we had a pool. O well.Sat tanners bday so we will be busy. That's another post. I actually enjoyed the break of NO baseball/school/scouts... its nice to break from the rut..Hope you all enjoyed it too.

Spring has Sprung

My neighbor asked me if I wanted her old
swing set, without hesitation I said yes. My kids love
go on it ALL the time. Paige practically lives in the swing.
It actually keeps them in the back yard. WOW never
thought id see that coming. Thanks Diane or should I say
Taylor & Cameron for giving it up for a new one.
I found these three monkeys chillin....I like these kind

This is probably my favorite season yes I know CA doesn't really have them but when the time changes and the weather is 70 and the sun is shinning bright and birds are chirping. All sounds of nature. The bright bold colors of the green grass ,bushes, flowers , trees, gardens..I love the comfortable weather NOT the 10010 degree weather that we will probably get this HOT summer. Thanks to our HF I do and can appreciate the beauties of the earth. We are blessed.. OH so blessed.
Beautiful gardens

Beautiful colors

Scott told me about these topsy turvey things

one sat me and the kids went to home Depot and picked up

one strawberry one tomato. Them Scott came home the other day bought 2 more, Im hoping to have many yummy strawberries and tomato.

My beautiful roses

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Scott chopping up 8 heads of cabbage
The Leprechauns came this yr and left
a rainbow with gold coins & shamrock chocolate
and green necklaces. Every yr is different but the gold $1 coins is a must have ....

I took one home with me from school

I think I can take this one,,he's cute

I was feelin happy go lucky :)

This is our 4th year and now a tradition in the Hughes home.. We invite 5-6 families to join in on the fun.. I found out a lot of them have never had corned beef and cabbage with red potatoes, or they just don't want to cook it, or would rather some one else do it. Sc ott and I don't mind it at all and it's one fun holiday where it's not a huge $$$ making day. We have fun everyone has been given something to bring that is green of course ie,,,rice krispies treats,jello, green ice cream drinks, paper goods. Yes th I am cooking all day but worth it. This yr I decided to cook brisket in my crock pot...mmm yummy best one yet. I had 6 briskets cooking at once. No I do not have a big kitchen or a big stove.. Somehow I manage to work it all out... Thanks to those families who joined in and shared the lucky day with us. Martinez,Hyer, Barron, Willett, Jordans, and the Vergos. See ya next year....................
