Mexico Mission Trip

We were very sad and worried to leave you both for 10 days June 2012. We had a calling to go to our first missions trip together to Mexico with the Heisers and the Childers. During the 10 days we were apart, you had the royal treatment. The following occured:
- multiple trips to Ono's and frozen yogurt.
- trip to John's Incredible
- swimming with Uncle Jojo
- shopping spree with Auntie Loi to Target and Build A Bear ( a personal favorite of yours Pi)
- trips to the library to see shows.
Even with the new addition to our family (Spider Cat and Hops- from Build A Bear), you both were very sad. It was reported to us that any down time Pi, you cried. Your grammy went into even more detail in telling us that you would sit on the couch, stare off to space and just cry. So sad!
Your daddy and I couldn't wait to get out of the car and ring the doorbell and hug you guys. At first you just stared at us confused, but when we told you our flight arrived earlier than expected, it clicked, and you both were hysterically happy. You even showed us the poster board welcome sign you made for us.

 First day in Puebla, in front of an Oxxo

 Church we slept in. Pastor Flavio's church.

 Kids from Chilixtitlan, Huajuapan

 The ladies in Huajuapan wanted to give you guys all of these goodies. It's amazing how much they give for having so little.

We were so blessed to share testimonies and the gospel in Oaxaca. We are equally blessed to have your grandparents, Uncle Jonart, and Auntie Loi help us out while we were gone and for God to have us arrive safely back to kiss you guys. We made it through 10 days guys!

Phoenix's Graduation (Pre-K LAUP)

 Never a serious moment with you Phoenix.

 Phoenix and Evan, besties for life.

 Thank you Ms. Cornita, Ms. Kristen, and Ms. Laura for turning my baby into a young boy.

Uhhh... Daddy and Pi, those aren't angry faces. You and I rocked it Feen.

 Here are more of your friend Luis and Junior.

 The era has ended but what came out was a confident, talkative, funny charming young man. Yes, I'm talking about you Phoenix. When you started with lovely Ms. Laura, you hardly raised your hand during carpet time and was afraid to make new friends. It didn't take you long to find your best bud Evan.Your daddy and I are so proud of you for all of the growth you have shown this year. Kindergarten, here we come! I'm excited to have you with me at Sunnyslope.

Padres Closing Ceremonies 2012

Both you were pleasantly surprised, or should I say, jumping up and down for joy when you found out that you were all getting trophies rather than medals. These were your first trophies.You were simply elated. We don't need to tell anyone that every player in the league got them.

 Look at you in action little man.

 It's only right to have some cupcakes that match your baseball jerseys. Piper, you were number 1 and Phoenix, you were number 3.

Great season Padres!
