Lovely Weekend

Had such a fun time at Sonia's this weekend.  She is a great hostess.  Everyone made memories watching the Superbowl, eating great food, playing at the park, playing football, swimming, and attending a concert! So very fun...we all made memories.  I was watching the kids play at the park with their cousins. We are lucky to be back here in Southern California with them.  The kids were playing pirates and everyone had an important role.  Izzy was delegating jobs to them all...she told me to be the protector and I had to carried the big sword.  Scotty impressed me with his attention to details when it came to design of the playground equipment.  He noticed that the slide and the climbing wall were really the same piece just flipped over...impressive!  And of course our Luke seems to ALWAYS make a new friend where ever we go.  He and his buddy dug some elaborate tunnels that all interconnected.  I loved watching all the adult cousins playing football and remembering when they were young.

The boys and I spent the night and in the morning we headed over to the Y so the kids could swim and we could drink in the sunshine.  I count every second together with Sonia as priceless.  She is my bestie and I thank God for her friendship.  I can talk to her about ANYTHING and I love her as much as my sister.  Got back to the house just in time to have lunch with Esther and Barbara Coffman (an absolute pioneer in the homeschooling world and a wealth of information on parenting and marriage). It was a treat to be able to visit with her!

We met Nancy and Tia, Veronica and her kiddos at the Mariners Church in Irvine for the taping of Jana Alayra's newest DVD and it was awesome.  We were in the front and I'm certain our kids will be on the DVD....as close as we get to being famous! :)  Luke of course made another new friend there and talked with her they whole ride home in the car! So much for homeschooling kids being antisocial!! HA!

After the concert we met at the Irvine Spectrum for supper before heading home..not much traffic and we could use the carpool lane....

We are blessed!
