Hincha Family: July 2009

Sew Fun!

Here is a cute little bag that I made recently. I made it for my sister for her birthday in August. However, I could resist and I already gave it to her. It was so easy to make. I got this fabric in Corona, California too. I hope my sister likes it. I made her another bag for Christmas and the bag was so not practical to use. I had to redeem myself. We will see.

Welcome Home, Degen!

My brother Degen, got home from his mission on May 14, 2009. He was in the Billings, Montana mission. The boys ditched school to go to the airport to see Degen. Ryan didn't get to go though, he missed too much school for golf. It was so good to see him. He looked about the same. I couldn't wait to see his smile. He has the happiest smile ever. After he got off the airplane and we said our hellos. We left to go eat at Casa Reynoso's in Tempe. Degen wanted to drive when we left the airport, so I let him drive my car. When we paid for the parking, Degen gave the worker a pass a long card. He was nice to see him be a missionary.

Baseball Anyone?

Tevin, Parker, and Caeson played baseball this Spring. They sure had a great time. Parker and Caeson were on the same baseball team. Rich was their coach. Their team had a great season and won lots of games. Tevin played on at 12 year old team. Their team wasn't as fortunate with the wins. But Tevin still had a great season.

Here is Caeson. Caeson was the youngest player on his team, however he was one of the best players on the team.

Parker had a great season too. He is always ready to play. However, he likes to be social too.

Caeson and the team.

Too cute!

Here is the fabric that I got at a Quilt Shop in Corona, California. Isn't it cute? The fabric is from the Thimble Blossom's line. I love Thimble Blossom everything. Anyway, My Mom got this super cute pillow case pattern at the quilt shop. So I got my pillow case made and I love it. I know my boys wont be steeling my pillow case any time soon.

California or Bust!

On, Friday May 8, we were on our way to California. My Mom, Maddux and I. We went to California to go to my Aunt Leola's 80th birthday party. However, because we were going out, we wanted to be able to stay a couple of days so that we could do some stuff. We stayed at a hotel in Anaheim, California. We traveled out about the same time as my Aunt Karen, Uncle Lon, Mela and Jayden. They met my Aunt Helen in Palm Springs and she followed them to Anaheim too. It was fun to spend time with them for the weekend. Just before we got to Anaheim we stopped in Corona, California at a super cute quilt shop. My Mom and I got fabric to make some pillow cases.

I tried really hard to make sure all of my pictures were turned the right way. Dang I missed one. Here is Maddux and I on the Balboa Pier.

Of course, when you go to Balboa, California you have to get a Balboa Bar. Here is a picture of Maddux watching the guy make his Balboa Bar. The guy was funny, He acted like he was going to eat Muddux's Balboa Bar. Maddux didn't really like that..

Here is Maddux eating his Balboa Bar. Yum! In case you don't know what a Balboa Bar is... it is a square of ice cream on a stick. Then dipped into chocolate and then you can pick the topping that you want. Maddux chose sprinkles.

Maddux and I on the ferry boat going over to Balboa Island. This a tradition that we do every time we go to Newport Beach.

We drove past the Newport Temple real fast we didn't even get out. I really wanted to see it. It was a beautiful temple. I glad we were able to see it.

My Mom's brother and sisters. Her oldest brother was not there. His name is LaVar and he lives in Oregon. In the picture from left to right is Helen, Bryce, Leola, Lynne (my Mom), and Karen.

Pedro Maddux

This is my Aunt Leola (my Mom's sister). We came to California to go to her 80th Birthday party. It was lots of fun. It was a Mexican Fiesta Theme. The food was good, the entertainment was good, and the company was great.

After the party we went back to the beach. Mela and Jayden met us there. It was good to spend time with Mela. I haven't got to spend that much time with her since I have been married. Jayden and Maddux has lots of fun together.

Sunday was Mother's Day. We were not sure what we were going to do this day. However, with Disneyland just down the street from our hotel, how could we resist. When I first asked my Mom what she wanted to do when we went to California. She said "anything but go to Disneyland." I asked her "why not?" I told her we would only have 1 little guy and it might be fun. She said "maybe, but that she would like to go to a quilt store." So Sunday morning, we woke up and decided "What the heck!". We had so much fun. It was all about Maddux. First we went of Pirates of the Caribbean. Maddux said that we a scary ride, so the rest of the day was rides that he would like. We did leave just after lunch and went to our hotel and took a nap. Which was nice, because we stayed for the fireworks that night. The fireworks were really good. Maddux was so excited to go back to Disneyland the second time.

Here is a picture of Maddux and my Mom watching the boats and eating a curro. It was so fun just to focus on one person. Maddux was so good.
