Megan Maertz's Baby Shower

Jordan and Megan are expecting...woohoo!
7 weeks til we get to meet Masie Ann Maertz

CONGRATULATIONS!!

We are thrilled for you both and can't wait to meet her....

On Saturday we celebrated Grand-baby girl #3

I had a blast visiting with the girls...

We certainly didn't waste any time and went straight for the Mimosa's

Megs, Auntie Tegs, Anna and Donna...we missed you, Jackie and Abryana

When the Mimosa's started to run low...they took matters in their own hands and went for the champagne straight out of the bottle.
Some things don't change...

CONGRATULATIONS BROTHER

I'd like to take this time to CONGRATULATE my brother on finding a "REAL" job in this very tough economy. Not only did he manage to find a great job, with lots of potential, but he did so in Portland Oregon.

He is taking a big jump and moving to the Pacific Northwest. He will be moving into my cousin Todd and Jessy's guest house, until Estelle moves up there and they figure out what their next step is. Its a little bit bitter sweet seeing as how it is the same house that I lived in during my short stint in Washington State. I hope it goes much more smoothly for him, then it did me.
And yes, I am a little jealous.

My cute little red Jetta did NOT love the snow/ice, neither did I

I know you like the snow...but I hope the majority of your winter is over and spring brings you good things.
And don't be jealous if Grandma forgets to make you a potted plant, I'll share this one!

CONGRATS AND GOOD LUCK!!!
Enjoy your time at 7606 1/2 SE Maple Ave.
And PLEASE talk to Advertising at Nationwide to get rid of that damn jingle.

An Afternoon at the Ballpark

While in Phoenix Jackie and I were trying to figure out how to spend our Saturday. We realized that there were MLB Spring Training games going on all over the Phoenix area. We tried hard to find LA Angels tickets, but were unsuccessful. Jackie remembered that they had friends that were going to the Chicago Cubs vs Chicago White Sox game, so we decided to just head to the ball park and see if we could get tickets. It was a great way to spend the afternoon and of course make my brother very jealous.

Good Seats...

Ty and I

The Maertz's at Abry's first Baseball Game

A fun day at the Ballpark.
The game on the other hand was 13-0 Cubs...including a grand slam!!
Go Angels??!?

A quick trip to Phoenix

I finally made it to Arizona to visit Tyler, Jackie and Abry. It was a quick trip, but super fun and so worth it. The weather was perfect. Abry has learned how to walk and is always on the go. She is soooo cute! I cant wait to hear her talk...

Seriously, have you seen a cuter face?

Eating people food and so proud of it...she had to show me!

On our way to the park

Making funny faces with the "to-go" box at lunch and cracking herself and us up.

I tried to bring her home to Cali, but was unsuccessful...
