Spring Break 2011

This spring break Eric took the entire week off to be home with us too! It was so nice for all of us to be home and not have a hundred things to do. We started the weekend off by going to Tucson to visit family. We went to Tommy and Becky's and met with my Tia Cristina and cousin Sabrina and her little ones. Bella had a great time playing with Giovanni. Becky made the yummiest dinner. It was a great visit.
Sunday, we went to the Cox family's house for an outdoor fish and chips fry. It was sooo yummy!
Monday, I saw a private kiddo and came home to hang out with the family. Tuesday, Bella and I went to the library to get some Children's museum tickets,and to go to story time. She LOVED it! The teacher does music, dancing, and reads a few stories. It was very cute and reassured my thoughts of getting her in to a preschool setting ASAP. Later that afternoon we went with Nino to the park we are thinking about having Bella's birthday party at. It was so beautiful out and a perfect day to go to the park. I sat with Julian in the grass and got some sun, while Bella ran around with Nino and Daddy.
Wednesday morning the 4 of us went hiking. It was so fun! Eric carried Julian in the baby Bjorn so he got quite the workout. We then came home and got dressed for the museum. The museum is downtown and has many awesome things for the kids to do. There is a giant play area, a pretend grocery store, a pretend kitchen complete with a woodfire pizza oven, many different hands on activities, an art room that has many art projects and painting, etc. Bella was in rare form that day. She was very moody and so we had to cut the trip shorter than we would've liked, but she still had fun. We definitely want to go again very soon.
Thursday, we spent the day at home which was nice. Eric was kind enough to take Isabella to the park for 2 hours while Julian slept so I could relax.
Friday, we watched the u of a game and then went to Grandpa and Grandma Hoover's house. We had dinner with them and just hung out. It was a lot of fun. The kids were wiped by the end of the day.
Saturday, Eric went to a spring training game w/ Steve and our future brother in law Gabe. I took the kids to meet some of my favorite girls for lunch. We then went shopping for Julian's baptism suit.
Sunday, we had breakfast at Uncle Chris's, who is in the navy and visiting home.We went to his house with the Tortora family. Bella and Guiliana played and had a great time.
We had a great week and am so thankful to get time to spend with the 3 people who I love most.
