Today was a day for John, it was his day. We remembered John today, John at his best, on the baseball fields before he was taken from us. Today we watched the gray skies part to let in the sun right at the moment when his mother Donna began to talk about her beloved son. We know John was with us, watching us celebrate the life he had and the life that his family must continue
to live even in if he is not here. I remember all the fun we had when we were kids, jumping out of the tree to be a part of John and Lezlie's club, playing on the swing set in the back yard, Disneyland, hot springs and
San Clemente beach. Sleepovers, Crystal Palace,
Greenbriar Pond and swimming. John was the ring leader, Lezlie was the sidekick and Nick and I were lucky to be included. John will always be in my heart and I will always remember the fun we had when we were kids.
Today was not a sad day, it was filled with laughter and fun. After Johns ceremony Nick, announced that he would be getting married right then and there. Nick and Megan were married in front of Johns tree, the most perfect spot.
We all had a good time, it was so nice to watch Donna be so happy, it has been a long time coming. I am proud of Nick and the man he has become and I am sure John is looking down from heaven watching his family and being glad that they can experience life in memory of him. We all love you John!
Oops, I didn't realize just how warm it was going to be yesterday and after 3 hours at the park I found out. All three of my girls had red faces and
arms. I feel bad but we really had fun.
Lezlie and I found the coolest park, we could have played all day!! We had a picnic lunch (that was fun with four toddlers) and then just played and played. The swings were really the biggest hit, they were big chairs and the kids loved them!! 
I want one for my house they were so relaxing! I really am glad the weather is warming up, all winter long we have been cooped up in the house and I
was getting pretty board. Also I didn't realize just how adventurous Lexi and Becca really are since they never had too much freedom out side the house. I was impressed at their climbing skills but scared too, Becca wanted to climb on things she is just too small for! She thinks the is bigger than she really is! Anyhow we had a really great day with Lezlie and Leila it makes me happy my kids love their Aunt and cousin soo much. We can't wait to go back to that park it was the best we have been too yet!
