Our Spring...

What's says spring more than baseball!?

Ryan had to dress up like an American Hero!  

He chose Jackie Robinson!

We of course had to borrow a jersey!  

No Dodger gear in the Sanchez House!  Ha ha!

After the Presentation, 

he showed us the Powerpoint he created!

Great job Jackie!

For Spring Break we took a trip to Vegas!

Auntie Sarah came too!

 

That way we could have some kid time...

And some kid free time! 

We saw the Terry Fator Show... he was amazing!

We also saw the Blue Man Group!

Evan was gifted a painting during the show!

On my birthday, I went to the spa and Freddy golfed!

It was a fun trip!

The Lakers came into town to play the Suns, 

so we went to the game!

It just happened to be Kobe's last game in Phoenix!

Ryan calls him a "Ball Hog",

and we were gifted the seats by Suns personnel,  

so we wore our Suns gear to the game!

The boys were even caught on the Dance Cam...

and the Suns won!

Evan's Grade went to Sky Harbor for a Field Trip!

We love Southwest Airlines!

A few days before Easter, we visited the Bunny...

Our silly boys even made the photographer laugh!

Easter Sunday we painted eggs...

And hung out together!

It was a beautiful day!

Unfortunately, Ryan sprained his ankle 

playing soccer at school.  

Because there was ligament damage, 

he was out for 11 weeks!

He is doing so much better now!  Thankfully!

Our pool was in need of some repair, 

so while it was drained, 

Ryan used it as a skate park!

Our Evan...Funny AND Talented! ;)

My Lucky Charms on St Patty's Day!

One of Ryan's field trips this year was to a factory...

It was really neat to see how things are made!

Evan turned 11 on April 19th!

He got to bring donuts to class...

And I brought him his favorite lunch...

Then he opened gifts...

And finally got a PHONE!

For dinner he chose a local Peruvian Restaurant!

They let us bring in our own cake to round out the celebration!

Evan's birthday party was a few days later.

It started with a limo ride with friends...

To an Escape Room!
The boys did really well and had a great time!

Then it was off to Dave & Busters for dinner and games...

With prizes in hand it was time to drop everyone off at home.

The balloons made the limo a party in itself!

Evan had a great birthday!!!

One day when the Pirates were in town,

we went to Chase Field for BP!

It was quite the reunion!

Freddy hadn't seen the guys for 7 years!

It was also our first time to a ballpark since Freddy retired!

Evan's biggest field trip of the school year was to Prescott, Arizona!

The kids stayed at Friendly Pines Camp for 2 nights!

Evan takes after me!  These were pictures he took!

Or pics he had someone take of him!

He had a great time...

But we were SO EXCITED to have him home!

We can't believe spring is over and summer is almost upon us!  Enjoy yours!  We will!  

Ready for 2016!

Instead of our Annual New Year's Eve Party,

we went to Missouri to visit my family and attend a family wedding!

I got to spend time with my sis!

And the boys got to spend time with their cousins!

It was a nice way to ring in the New Year!

Here are my handsome young men!

We managed to get a family photo!

And I even got one with Nell!

The kiddos were really enjoying being together!

Can you tell!?

I wonder where Ryan gets these dance abilities!?  ;) 

It was a great trip!

At school each year, classrooms take turns presenting Morning Meeting.

Evan played the role of Anchorman...introducing the Revolutionary War.

Ryan and his class were of course in attendance!

Great job Big Boy!

If it is your birthday month, you are allowed to go up front to be announced.

Good job Ryguy!

Football season began with a bunch of baseball boys!

Ryan got to attend his first professional hockey game!

He even got a sweatshirt to cheer on the Coyotes!

For Ryan's Party, we rented out suites at the Suns Game!

Evan was my big helper!

Another first for Ryan!  His first NBA Game!

He was so excited!

We just can't believe he is 8!

Our pride and joy...these 2!

The Suns had a special surprise for Ryan!

An Autographed Bledsoe Jersey!

The Gorilla came to visit also!

Ryan got a noogie!

The boys all got a kick out of him!

Happy Birthday Ryguy!

Before the end of the game, Ryan got a special message displayed on the board!

Then, to top it all off, the Suns won at the buzzer!

It was a great game to celebrate an amazing boy!

On the 26th, Ryan's actual birthday,

he brought Krispy Kreme donuts to his class for morning snack!

Ryan said it was DELICIOUS!

Mrs Anderson's birthday was the following Saturday!

So, she said they were birthday buddies!

On his birthday evening, he chose to go to Chili's for dinner,

then come home for cake and presents!  

Thank you to everyone who thought of Ryan for his big day!

One random day at the beginning of January,

Evan decided he could lead a Green Man Group!  Lol!

So that would mean Ryan could start a pickle group!  Ha ha!

One Friday night we went to a local High School Basketball game.

Reminded me of when we first started dating!

Our first kiss was after one of those games back in 1996!

On Thursday's and Friday's during lunch recess, 

Evan goes into the Kindergarten Spanish Class

to help Señora Conti!  The little kids LOVE him!

May the Force Be with You as we roll into February!
