Basketball Mania

Jared started playing basketball a few weeks ago and loves it. He had his second game on Saturday and they won 14-4. I don't know much about basketball but this boy and his team had me cheering like crazy......but not enough to watch the Lakers.

Amazing...it's finally straight!

Most of you know that I was blessed (more like cursed) with this curly hair. I've been straightening it out since 1995. I had been reading about a new treatment called a Brazilian Blowout and decided to try it. I had it done last week and I want to kiss every Brazilian on earth! My hair is so straight and smooth. I hate taking pictures so this obviously tells you how much I love the results.

My boys look so handsome!

Que cute

It's been a long time since all us Sanchez women were together and luckily I had my camera to capture it.

Disneyland!!

I had to get a picture of Jared in the A hole.....lol.

Silly boy!

We were riding behind Tim so Jared can bump him.

I think everyone has a picture at this spot but I still couldn't resist.

Getting Ready For New Years!!

Boys Will Be Boys

Tim's brother David came to visit us for the holidays and when these boys get together, you never know what to expect. They decided to jump in the 42 degree pool.

Roughing it at Sequoia

We decided to go camping in Sequoia this Memorial Day weekend. We took my nephew Alex with us and we had such an awesome time. The weather was perfect and the scenery was breath taking. Despite contrary belief, I survived without my blow dryer.

This was our view from the camp site

Mother's Day

Our build a bears

This Mother's Day was so beautiful and memorable.  I got to sleep in!!!  We had lunch at one of my favorite hole in the wall places.  After lunch we headed to Downtown Disney and did a little shopping.  The best part of my day was when we came across the build a bear store.  Both Jared and I went in and built our own bears.  It was so much fun.  I made a pirate hello kitty and Jared made a Charger's dog.

Grandpa Time

Three generations of Phillips'

This year we have all had the opportunity to spend some quality time with Tim's dad Dave.  We are truly thankful that Dave has become a part of our lives again.  Jared loves going to grandpa Dave's house to play with his chihuahuas.

Jared's Birthday!!

This year Tim and I decided to surprise Jared by taking him out of school early and head over to Disneyland.  He had no idea where we were taking him until he saw the Matterhorn mountain off the freeway.  He was so excited and said he had the "coolest parents ever".  We had such an amazing time.

Is he a ham or what?

They're too cute!

Time to call it a night.
