Lisa got us tickets to go to the Los Angeles Angels versus Los Angeles Dodgers pre-season game!!! We are total Angels fans and Carson & Jason were Dodgers fans. So, this was a fun game. Well, the Angels did lose and the Dodger fans were a little out of control (but hey, it was at Dodger stadium). ;)
Thanks cuz!!!! We had a blast!
Oh, btw to anyone going to a Dodger game...they now let you bring in food and drink. So, no need to stuff your pants and pockets full like we did. LOL

Grant's Open House
After a day at Disneyland with Grandpa and dad...Grant was due to go to his Open House. Aunt Lisa and I went with Grant to his Open House while Grandpa and dad went to our Bowling league plays.
Grant's class had a theme of fishing and water. So, Mrs. Anjie made a theme of "Fisher of Men." She is very creative as you will see in the pictures below. I was very impressed with the many books and projects Grant has completed. He had an ABC book that was on letter S at the time...he has a few more to go, then we can keep it. He made a book of shapes. Another book on the five senses. He made several different types of fish (ones with his handprint, one with gluing tissue paper down, one out of 2-liter bottle, etc.). I loved how Mrs. Anjie created a boat full of disciples with Jesus. She took a large picture of our children and made fishermen out of it. It is too cute! Here, see for yourself....

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!
Although Grandma and Auntie Diney were in Ireland on Grandpa Gary's bday, they still made sure he would have fun. Grandma signed Gary up for the new Disneyland gift on your birthday...free entrance on your bday. So, Grandpa Gary, Scott and Grant had a day at Disneyland. I know that they had a fun time.
Scott actually bought a pass because I won a contest recently and said I would buy him one with my winnings!!! Grant and I are excited that he has a pass and can go with us now. He has already proclaimed that he will not be pulling an "all-dayer" like my crew normally does.
Grandpa Gary, Scott and Grant had a fun time and rode several rides. They went on Matterhorn, Autopia, Mr. Toad's, Toontown, Pirates of the Caribbean and formally Tom Sawyer's Island (now called Pirates' Lair) and ate at Pizza Port.
They came back in time for us to go to Grant's Open House. Then, off to bowling where we all sang to Gary and wished him a very happy birthday. I would have to say that Gary had a smile on his face the entire day. :)

Orchestra
Well, we went to the LA orchestra on Sunday. We met up with our camping crew and went to the orchestra. There were activities and crafts for the kids. We only got to go into the Kidspace tent with the spiders and color painting.
The kids seemed to enjoy it. Kara said Matthew was a little "wiggly" and I agree that Grant was the same way.
It was fun and this 14 year old came and played so well. Grant was so impressed, he asked if we could buy him a violin. We will if he sitll shows interest by the time he starts kinder.

Sportsman!!!
Okay, so ever since Grant was a little tike, I have been into "registering" him for any class that he is interested in at that time. I know that the swimming at six months was my own doing but other than that, we always have the same conversation...
Mom or Dad ask, "Grant soccer starts in a few weeks, do you want to play soccer?" Then he responds, "Yes, oh yes!" Well, he has successfully completed t-ball, soccer, an indoor sports with all kinds of games...even football, swimming, and most recently; basketball. He wanted to play basketball so badly because cousin Lisa convinced him that he needed to play this sport. Lisa said it was her favorite and then Grant decided it was his favorite too.
Anyway, here are three pictures. One is of Grant, William (his friend) and Coach Brianna (Grant's fave coach). The next one is of Grant accepting his soccer trophy and "high-fiving" his coaches! The other one is of the boys playing at the park after their trophy ceremony!

Camping with our Friends and Club
So we went camping this past weekend. We have made it a regular thing to go camping with our camping group. We belong to a camping group, but really mostly hang out with our friends. So, we had a blast with this particular place because we had good weather, great heated pools and fun with friends.
Anywho, we enjoyed heated mineral pools and a great kiddie pool. The kiddie pool had a level of about 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 feet. This was perfect for all of the kids to walk around and swim.
The spas and sauna on the premise was super nice. Kara and I were able to get away for a bit and enjoy the specialty pools. Then, the guys took a turn. We fed the ducks, fish and geese at the pond.
We had some crafts, games, and the club potlucks to keep us busy. Plus, we were able to see the Space Station fly over us at night.
Okay, here are the pictures...

CA with the Grandparents and Dad??
When I was out for my surgery, we had some luck happen where our friend Brian had two extra tickets to Disneyland. Scott didn't want to leave me to go to Disneyland because he felt I might need him. Well, I convinced him that he and his parents taking Grant to Disneyland for the day was what I really needed. It was hard for Grant to understand the "surgery." He would come home from preschool and ask me, "Do you still have surgery today?" I would ask him why he needed to know and he would tell me about not being able to sit on my lap. Awe, how cute.
Anyway, Grant, Grandpa, Grandma, and Dad went to California Adventure and had a blast. Gary had never even been to Cali Adventure. Scott hadn't been since it first opened. So, needless to say Grant and Carol were busy "showing them around." They had a blast...check it out....Thanks Brian!
