Missing Arizona

It was kinda tough to come home from Arizona, we sure miss... All the beautiful flowers

Golfing in the warm sun

Playing canasta(and getting in a good nap every time it was Blaine's turn)

Grown up movies in the middle of the day with no kids!

Sitting in the sun by the fountains at Westpoint

Beating the boys in darts! It's amazing Henry did get one in the head from Chachy! Words of wisdom- NEVER PISS OFF A SPANISH WOMAN.

And.. "The Unit." Nothing better than watching baseball games, eating peanuts and getting a tan!

BUT... theres still nothing better than to come home and see all these guys!!

Take me out to the ballgame!

Henry and I decided we really needed a break and some good quality time together. We decided to go see my good friend Chachy in Arizona and catch some spring training games. It has been so much fun! Yesterday we saw the Rangers/Dodgers game and today we got to see Henry's favorite team The Giants. Unfortunatly the giants lost, but I was so much fun to see Randy Johnson and Lincecum pitch sitting right there behind home plate.

The weather has been great and I already have a real tan(I attempted a instant spray on tan before I left with some slightly embarrassing result, but its all blended in now.)

I must be getting old

My baby boy Wesley turned 10 years old this month!! Wow, it didn't think I would be one of those old lady reminising on how fast the years pass, but holy crap!?! Wasn't he just starting kindergarten last week? Wesley is such a sweet boy, if anyone is down or upset he is the first to notice and there trying to make them feel better. He is such a grea writter and is hilarious. If you haven't seen it yet check out his blog "Wesley's world", he cracks me up. Love you Wesley!For Wesley's birthday we went to good old Laser Assault, which is just how I remembered it from high school! The kids had fun and lots of pizza cake and ice cream.

Another big day!!! Little miss Karsyn turned 8 and was baptized by her Papa the end of February. She was so excited and got lots of words of wisdom from her older siblings Isabel and Wesley. Isabel said the prayer at her baptizm and Wesley gave a talk. Both prepared them on their own and did a great job. Karsyn looked just like a princess in her little white dress from her Grandma and Grandpa Erickson.

Karsyn is such a sweet, caring girl. She loves to help with Maysen and Hinckley, cooking, and always does whatever is needed without ever complaining. She is the first to jump up when you ask for help and always has a smile on her face. What more could you ask for!

The Maysen man

Maysen is improving a little everyday. He is still a sad little baby, still having to suction a lot and coughing. But hes got his color back and bit more of his spunk. Overall he is doing better.

Being a parents STINKS!

Literally. Yesterday was a rough day in the Blanco household. Hinckley has been such a trouble maker lately. You can't let her out of your sight for a second or she'll do something like spread an entire cube of butter all over the stove. Henry and I were in the front room and realized it was a little too quiet. We found Hinckley in the bathroom fingerpainting, but not with paint.

As many of you know Henry has an extremely sensitive gag reflex. So he went off to get his mask that he uses for those especially smelly situations and proceeded to wash walls while I cleaned Hinckley. As soon as he was done with that Maysen made sure he got more good use of that mask. Freakin kids! Thank goodness for Henry!

It does stink being a baby at times too. Poor little Maysen has RSV and has been miserable the last few days. He's so stuffy and has the saddest hoarse little cry. And his mean mom won't stop suctioning his nose all the time. He sure is tough though, hes almost jumped off my lap a few times when I've tried to clean his nose. It's so sad, but he still smiles and has been so good considering. I hope my little guy gets better soon!
