Mom and Dad visit

While we were in Maui, grandma and grandpa had so much fun filling in for us and running the kids all over for their activities.  I think they want us to go for longer next time!  These are the things that keep grandparents young :o).  They did a great job...the kids made it where they needed to be, were well fed and no one got sick....that is truly a success!
St. Patrick's Day parade:

 Reggie's friend David came to the parade with his mom who was a great help to mom:


Mom and dad also spend A LOT of time working in the yard, weeding, planting, etc.  Dad repaired the driveway again and found a paving project to do as well!  The weather was absolutely terrible when we were gone, but the last few days the sun came out and mom and dad took full advantage!
My new satsuma tree!


We also celebrated my birthday and had the best flank steak we've ever had.  Ryan was out of town and there were only a couple pieces as leftover...the kids kept asking for more!
Here's Grandma and Ainsley playing Happy Birthday....
Reggie is dangerous with a selfie stick!
Reggie and grandpa also played a lot of checkers.  Reggie is getting much better, but still can't beat grandpa...
I drug mom on a hike up the back-side of Del Valle and it was such a clear, beautiful day and the lake was the fullest I have ever seen it.  That was from all the rain while we were gone!  The cows were out and very close, but unusually friendly, so that was good we didn't get charged!
 This was a very long, steep hill!

Our school hosted a multi-cultural night and that was lots of fun.  The kids tasted food from other places and we saw some amazing dancers from other cultures.



Reggie's favorite place when grandma and grandpa are here.....he visits them every morning at 7 (we had to put a time on it or he would be out there at 5:30!)
There was one small mishap during there visit and that was that some person with very poor judgement decided it would be fun to bash their car window :o(.
