Calling All Angels

This has been a month filled with baseball. A few weeks ago Chris took Keaton and Andrew to an LA Dodgers-Philadelphia Phillies game with their Uncle Blaine - their first trip to Dodger Stadium. Then a week later Chris was able to get some tickets to the Angels-Padres game on Friday night. We decided to take the whole family and make it a surprise. Surprises are supposed to be fun right? Our boys were dying to know where we were going. Is it an amusment park? etc, etc. They could hardly stand it. They didn't want to go unless they had all of the details. They're not so good with surprises.

Matt ready to take his hat off as soon as we put it on.

Our seats were amazing! We were four rows up from the dugout in front of home plate. The boys have really been into baseball. They've become Angels fans and have watched almost every game since we went.

Looking out on the Stadium

Every Friday night they have a fireworks show after the game. It was awesome and a great way to end the night.

Moonlight Beach

Everything is more fun when done with cousins.

Ready for a road trip.

Easily entertained.

Moonlight beach was great. It had a playground, snack shack, bathrooms, volleyball net and lots of sand.

Keaton and Jesse playing in the sand.

The kids had lots of fun jumping the waves, discovering sand crabs and playing in the sand.

Andrew isn't in any of these pictures since he opted to go to school and participate in field day. He had lots of fun as did we.

It might just be time to go home when your baby looks like this. We had a great time at the beach and then headed over to see the tide pools near La Jolla that my sister's family discovered on a previous trip. We had lots of fun and I think I was the only one to get sunburned. The boys missed their cousins as soon as they left. They would reminisce about how much more fun it had been to go on a walk or play a game with their cousins. Won't you all move out to Cali? Or at least visit often.

Memorial Day Weekend Part 2 - Golf

Andrew, Chris and Grandpa Jensen went golfing over Memorial Day weekend at Menifee Lakes. They all had a blast and Andrew proved to be quite the little golfer - looks like golf lessons might be paying off.

Andrew looking sharp!Nice form.

Andrew actually hit his first tee shot on the green on a little par 3 hole. He was very excited and ended up bogeying the hole. Great job Andrew!

Racing

Grandpa Jensen came to visit over Memorial Day weekend. We spent Memorial Day at Mulligan's with all the go-kart racing, mini golf, bumper boat and laser tag we wanted. It was alot of fun! I mostly watched with Matt as the boys had a good time, though I did get in on the mini golf and bumper boat action. The bumper boats were the hit of the day. We loved chasing and squirting each other. The boys also played their first games of laser tag - also a hit. It was a fun-filled day.

They call me Trouble

For awhile there, Matt was walking along the walls, cupboards and pushing chairs to get around. He is now enjoying the freedom to walk where he chooses unless he wants to play in the toilet, climb the stairs, touch the tv cords or bang on the fireplace.

Looks a little bit like Trouble

Making his way around the kitchen, under the table and through the chairs.

Taking some of his first steps. He's now a pro and thinks he can walk around with things in his hands and mouth. Not so! Needless to say he's got lots of bruises, scratches and cup marks on his face...nice.
