Saturday fun with friends

Today was busy! I had soccer tryouts in the morning for the girls which turned out a bust because they changed the location, so we headed to Dicks sporting goods and got them their soccer gear for the season. Then we headed to Valencia to get baby Jake from my mom.
When I called Jake to see where he was he was done with works so we decided to take the kids and take them to the driving range at the golf course to hit some golf balls. It was fun, the kids were enjoying it and baby Jake was happy to hit something other than his sisters. During our adventure, Laurel sent me a text to go hiking to the Hollywood sign with with Andersons so we got our sneakers and gym gear and headed to LA for an adventure. It ended up being a bust and we couldn't find the trail but Rachel said there was a good Italian restaurant near by they tried or heard about (can't remember). It was soooooooo good and the entertainment was perfect. They had an accordion guy walking around singing and apparently my birthday came early and he sang the "Francesca song." The kids were cracking up along with the adults. During dinner I got a text from the Shaughnessy family to come over and do a backyard movie night featuring the Goonies (favorite movie ever). So we headed home, got our warm clothes on and hung out. It was a perfect day, filled with laughs, memories and good people. Grateful for the bonds my family has made with friends and happy to have them in our lives.

Happy fathers day 2015

There is always a ton going on for Father's day. Church was our first stop and the men in the ward got to have come really good food and hang out. After church we headed to my parents and ran around a bit. Jake fell asleep and I decided to get the kids hair cut by my sister. Since its summer time I like the kids hair short. After that we went to my inlaws and ate a yummy dinner and hung out. The kids ran around some more and had a great time. It was really nice to spend time with everyone without having flash cards in my hands or worrying about getting home.
I have to say that I think my husband is an amazing man and deserves so much. Since being in school I haven't been able to spoil him or do much so now that I have my life back I plan on doing more with him. With 4 kids and Jake working so much its hard but you make it work.
