Baseball is here! We welcomed it by attending Rawhide's opening night against the Stockton Ports. It was a fun night with the girls and Gpa & Gma "E". The girls rushed down the stairs everytime they saw mascot "Tipper" the cow come by.
Mascot "Tipper"...Sawyer kept asking "Where'd the horse go?"
Always entertained!
Although they lost we had a great time eating the food, taking countless trips to the ladies room and being entertained by our two energized little girls!
Can't wait to do it again.
Another great tradition was all the young grand-daughters and great grand-daughters opening their pajamas from Grandpa. 
Which brings me to Frank Albert, my grandpa. He passed away and left us December 31st. We're deeply saddened. I know though that God has a plan. He gave us Christmas with him. He was surrounded by all of his family. For those of you that don't know, this is my mom's dad. He lived in town. I'll miss my occassional stops when I'd bring the girls by to visit him. He'd always make sure they got cookies from his cookie jar. I'll even miss him getting uptight over the fact that the girls would play with his 50 cent stuffed cat doll he got at a garage sale. I'll miss talking politics with him, when we'd agree to disagree. I'll miss asking to borrow his furniture dollies and telling him I'd get them out of the shed and then showing up and they'd be all ready for me on his porch. I'll miss watching him fall asleep on the couch and then him waking and saying he wasn't falling asleep. I'll miss taking the girls over to swim while he'd sit and watch from the patio and then bring them out popsicles. I'll miss when he's grumpy and getting him to laugh or smile. All these things I will miss! But I know he is in a better place. Thank you to all our friends and family for your love and support!
