Opening Day

Can I just say the Webb's Rock!  How great was opening day?.... Really, really!  We had so much fun!  Naturally it was all about the food.  This is a cotton candy beard.  That was preceeded by a D-bac  Dog  and somewhere in there was popcorn and a cookie that is bigger than Ethan's head!

 

We scored when we ran into Baxter at Baxter's Den and Ethan got his hat autographed!   So he could be "Hang!

ng w/ his homies"  Isn't that such a fresh prince of Bel Air homie pose?   Come on, I'm not the only one old enough to know what I'm talking about, right?

Massive cookie attack!  Holy Sugar OVER LOAD   Now, that is a great day!  You know!  We do love our baseball.  I'm not sure Ethan even looked at the field once!  But it was great!

Last T-Ball game!!

The last T-ball game!  Great day, great game... everybody won (only when you are 5 and under, right? )  We had a blast and will miss our Saturday morning games... thank you to all who organized our little "league"   I do have a short video clip to come... so, if you are just so addicted to this mindboggling fabulous blog of mine, try back soon.... I know all 3 people who look once a month, will just be counting down the seconds, right?  Hee-hee!  But, really, that and I've got Disneyland photos and ANOTHER surprise visit from the Bradshaws... they're everywhere these days!  Yeah!   Still no video of Peter actually flying, but the trips are getting longer and the stories are getting better... someday I promise, so look, there are three reasons right there to tune back in soon!   Come on, you know you want to! HAH!

Surprise Visit from The Bradshaw

Bradshaw's Surprise Visit!

On Monday my sister Michelle called and said they decided to take a family vacation to get out of the bad weather, either Hawii or Phoenix,  Chance of rain in Hawii, so 3 hours later they were here!   Funny!  Tuesday we hit the zoo.  And then met Peter for lunch at Joe's Farm and Grill.... one of our favorite lunch/dinner places with loads of kids.  But, the real news of the day is Peter had just come from his first solo flight!  I have NO photos, so in my blog world it is almost like it really didn't happen, right? But, stay tuned for some amazing video someday... he now has his student license and is over half way finished.  Before this spring he will be moving on to his instrument rating and all sorts of plans for a lifetime of adventure in the air.   (really all this means, is we need to prepare now, when Ethan turns 16 he won't ask for a car, no, now he will ask for a plane to match...or beat...his dads)  But, check back in from time to time... I'll get some pics you won't want to miss! 

Flamingo Dance......

Don't get tooo dizzy...... this is the only clip of the day to share!   

Failure to launch.... haha!

Hey, u-tube disabled the audio on the sky dive clip... so, give me time to figure this out.... I'll re-post it again ..... in its full glory!   HaHA!  Any techno-super gurus out there have any ideas I'm open.  I just added any song I could think of to replace the origional... which is much better... oh well.. I'm open!  Actually, its still funny to watch even w/out any sound...  just maybe skip around in it... play count the times she sticks her tongue out or something?  I don't know have fun!  I know I did!  hee-hee

What is up with the tongue?

So, don't judge me.... just laugh.... this is even halarious to me....  It was my 2nd skydive... AND NOT MY LAST!  It is the most amazing fun... soooooo great!   I have no idea what my tongue is doing.  Apparently I'm 1/2 giraffe, and I never knew it.   Yes, I know, my tongue is out of control....   I would sooooooo DOOOO THIS AGAIN!!!!!   Any takers?   Lets talk.... AT 2 miles up!    On a side note, sorry this is soooo long, I couldn't edit it, they copyrighted it, so you've got to watch the whole thing, the good, the bad, and the ugly!    And, the skydive guys face totally cracks me up!   What a funny job, you know?   Strap yourself to a bunch of adrenaline junkies and throw them out of a plane?   What a life!

Spring concert/ and a mohawk baby

so here is a clip from the concert.  These kids are so cute and so funny.
Monday Mohawk Madness!  So, Ethan's dream come true!  He always wants to wear his hair in a mohawk, (not our idea) but, Monday was mix-up Monday at school.... notice the shirt is inside out and the shoes are different.  But, the BEST part he talked me into a mohawk for mix-up day. I helped in his class that day and found out Wednesday is Weird Hair-day.  Bet you can't guess what he'll pick.... hmmmm?

Tonight was Ethan's class spring concert.  Here he is just before we left... and even better, ice cream after its over!  It was sooo darling, I bawled the whole time, however, I'm a big softie, so that doesn't mean much.  But, all of those kids, they just filled that room with JOY!  I love helping in his class and just being around all of those sweet innocent faces... it just puts me in such a good place.  You know?  And, a special thank you to Grandma, Grandpa, Debbie, Paige, Tana, and Laynee for coming with us and making the night just that much more fun!!!!

Puppies 1st day at school!

Here is Ethan's chance for sharing.  Most kids bring in cars, books, pictures, even maybe a large toy.   But, a Spanganberg.... well, we bring in 2  (NOT ONE)  but 2 hyper puppies.  Just thought I'd share a little bit of our world before these puppies become "those dogs"  that ruin and destroy everything and everyone in their way (and that time is sooo close) you know? 

daisies, tulips...we eat them all

So, we are now down daisies, tulips, and as of today gerbera daisies and THE POT they were in... LAME.   Watch out in your backyards, you might find 2 dogs, hyper, hungry and looking for new homes someday.  I will sweeten the deal by putting matching bows around their necks, and a $20 too get you started on the puppy chow!   Don't think I'm kidding.   The Church's will be 1st because they are the closest but, you, all of you, you could be next.

Biking at the Zoo

Yesterday was full of fun firsts.

1st we took our puppies 

to Tball with us.  (not a 1st)

Someone else brought their rotweiller

puppy w/ them (a 1st).... can we say territory issues

at such a young tender puppy age.  good grief!

Then in the afternoon Ethan and I headed to the ZOO.

And we took our bikes for the 1st time!  It was fantastic.

If you have bikes and Zoo passes... it is so great!   However, I would NOT go  on a Saturday if you can possibly avoid it.  Lots of people.   Crowded.
We were riding by the elephants when they were handing out carrots to feed to "Indie" the elephant.   Lucky timing!    After throwing in his carrot to the elephant, Ethan thought that was pretty cool... so, being the generous guy he is, he decided if carrots are ok to throw in, well, SpongeBob Fruit Snacks would probably be amazingly delicious for an elephant to eat.  That, or just the idea that he was allowed to throw something as hard as he wanted into the enclosure, was just too fun to not try one more time.  Funny kid!
   So, seriously taking your bikes to the Zoo would be a great weekday activity.  If anyone out there wants to come with us, give me a call.  We will be going again while the weather is gorgeous.  Even better, we have season passes that will get another adult and 2 children in free.... call me!  Lets go!
Hanging out in the treehouse.

Stand by for more...

Last weekend was incredible!  In the morning ran

a 10K w/ some great friends.   Found out last night I

actually took 1st place in my age group.  (I am so entering more SMALL races..... huge ego boost!).... then later that afternoon.... well....

check out the photos and stay tuned for a video clip later

this week... Free falling?  Enjoy the ride!

Dogs for sale, CHEAP, plants optional

So, this was my day, how was yours?

This week Ethan was the "Star Student" in his preschool.... he has been waiting the WHOLE year for this!  This is his class reading his "book from home"  He chose "Dinosaur Roar"  He memorized the whole book and wanted to read it to the class, until the moment of truth, he asked his teacher to do it instead.... funny!

Who let the dogs out

The newest Spanganberg's.... Charlie(on the left) and Gus (right)

Ethan has always wanted a puppy, for, forever....

so..... for his 5th b-day Peter and I went to go get him a puppy, they were all so cute... so, if you can't pick one, why not two??? Right.... This is Peter and Ethan the morning Ethan got his SRUPRIZE...(and we did too.... piles of puppy doo-doo all over our bathroom)  so, it begins!
