We went over to the Central Coast for Easter to see all my Mom's side of the family. We spent Friday at Avila Beach where it was a gorgeous 76 degrees!! Saturday we spent at my Grandparents doing some odds and ends arounds the house trying to help them get ready for bringing Grandpa home from the hospital after he has his heart surgery next month. Sunday we met cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents at Madonna Inn for an Easter brunch buffet. Anyone who has ever been to Madonna Inn knows how pink it is so it definitely lent itself to the Easter decorations they had put up everywhere. I felt wierd snapping about snapping pictures inside so sorry you don't get to share in all the festivities!! They had a yummy buffet with tons of fresh fruit that we gorged on!! We went back to my Aunt Robyn's after brunch and went for a walk around the neighborhood. Later we met up with more relatives in Morro Bay for an afternoon picnic , birthday cake for my cousin Brendan, and an Easter Egg Hunt for the lil ones. We also played some frisbee, red rover, and softball, believe me red rover was definitely an experience with adults and children ranging in age from about 55 to 2.... We spent Monday at Pismo Beach before coming home. Definitely a lovely holiday!!! Hope you all had fun too!!!

Siblings...





































I'm loving being home with Loren, my parents and Anya, but it seems like someone's missing all the time...oh wait..there is...Cody! I miss my lil bro lots!! He doesn't get to come home very often because of his busy swim schedule but we get to see him next week!! yay!! So, i was going through my old pictures reminiscing about good times with both my sis and bro, and thought I'd reshare a few!

Bike Ride

Yes that speck at the top of the hill is Loren!
Guess the ride was ok





California poppies-our state flower







Its a long way down....also overlooks the river, so it was pretty but you definitely
wouldn't want to get distracted by the view while on your bike!





This trail is sheer on either side so if he went off he'd be falling
for quite awhile (add wifely advice and feminine eeks as needed)















My lonely and riderless bike, i think it had the best view overlooking
the river and the lake.







Peek-a-boo!










Wildflowers are in bloom and oh so pretty!!!
