Cienna - 16 Years 3 Months Old! ... Kaylee - 13 Years 10 Months Old!

Mom's Bday started early at 6:30 heading to San Diego with the family for the girls USAG State meet. The meet was supposed to be in Long Beach, unfortunately changed to San Diego. Made for a long but fun day, four gymnastics sessions. We got an open session during lunch where we met up with the Sklenicka's at Coronado Brewery. We even got some cool rain before heading back to the gym. We got home about midnight. Both girls qualified for Regionals. Mom got made some ice cream to celebrate before everyone hit the sack!

The next week Dad got to meet up with the Payne's at Downtown Disney for dinner and then go with Larry, Roman, and Mike for an Angel/Dodger game celebrating Larry's Birthday! Mom Got to chaperone Kaylee's Music field trip to Knott's that week also. Was a very fun day for all. That evening the gym celebrated Coach George's Birthday.

Then it was Peta's Sweet 16 that Cienna went to at her house before we all dyed some eggs getting ready for Easter morning. And what a great Easter it was getting to share with so many friends! We started at home with a morning egg hunt and baskets. We didn't need a breakfast knowing all the delicious food ahead. Next went to the Ferrario's for our first feast of the day. Also we got to meet all the new animals at Cobi and Bri's home, as well of a tour from Sierra and Robbie's new home! It's amazing to be invited into such an amazing family!

For an early dinner we headed back home since Auntie Kimmie went back to dinner foods this year and she never ceases to amaze with all the yummy dishes. There was another egg hunt with all the kids. They all came to play on the trampoline while the eggs were hidden. Cienna found the Big Bunny Egg this year! Many games were played and we got to go home with leftovers for the week.

Spring Break! We had a little time to get stuff done around the house before all the friend hang out planning began. After gym on Monday the girls headed to the Water's house for a sleepover and while Mom and Dad worked they got to go to the snow for some Spring Sledding thanks to Rocky making it happen. They ended up coming back just in time for gym that day!

Straight after Practice Cienna went for another sleepover with Julia. They went to Marshall to watch the sunset, do some baking, and enjoyed the time they had together. We then finally got around to getting some plants for the garden. We succeeded in spending time together planting all the fruits and vegetables. We ventured out with the berries this year!

Spring Break ended with a 6 girl sleepover consisting of the 3 Musketeers, Cienna, Lexie, and Julia. Was just the 3 then they enlisted Lexie and Julia! Lot's of food, fun, and laundry!

Last weekend this month was the Regional's gymnastics meet. It was in Ontario (Southern Ca. hosted this year) Both girls did Amazing. We spent a lot of time in Ontario. Kaylee was the first of her team to compete. She nailed it. Placed in everything and got Second All Around in the Region that includes 4 States. Cienna had her best bar routine of the season and also medaled! They had a great time competing and supporting all their other teammates in their individual age group sessions In between Mom and the girls had some time together for an amazing lunch and adventuring at the Ontario Mills Outlets. Meanwhile, after dad supported both Kaylee and Cienna for their competitions, he represented for all of us at Roman's 55th Decades party at their home with music, fun, and crazy!

Cienna then left at 5:45am with her sophomore Quest pathway group on an adventure to tour San Diego Colleges, be with friends, and make memories that last forever.

Love all the times! Look forward to every day having each other, and seeing what comes next!
