Owen O. Asay was born March 25th at 12:29 pm.  We are extremely excited for Joe and Britt.  Thank you for letting us participate in this wonderful miracle of child birth. Joe kept me informed all morning of Britt's status, I rushed down from Huntington to be there when little Owen was making his way into this life. Unfortunately, I do not do well in the hospital due to psychological issues in my head from some serious accidents of friends, especially at Mission, it just brings back such horrible sad thoughts. So yesterday while being in the room with Britt as she was pushing (which only took about 35 minutes!) I was on the verge of fainting and had to go lay in the hallway.  I missed the birth but ran in once I knew Owen was out. I am amazed at our bodies and the entire miracle of life itself.  Britt looked great after giving birth, this is the first time I have been around anyone giving birth but she made it look so easy and smooth. I must say  I am absolutely terrified of giving birth I do not know how I am ever going to get through it. I guess we have no need to worry about it any time soon.  But I am very excited to be prego and have a babe sometime soon. Congrats Britt and Joe, we are excited to spend time with Owen!

The weather could not have been more beautiful this weekend.  I can not get enough of the 80 degree weather at the beach with clear skies and good waves. The weekend started with an amazing two hour hike in the hills of sc/sjc with Chelsea and Mu along with all the wild flowers and bugs.  I loved sweating as we climbed up and down thru the tall weeds and wild flowers. Such a great day for a hike!  We followed the hike up with yummy sandwiches and a nice relaxing afternoon at the bay chilling n reading while the hotties surfed. I love these kind of Saturdays, I can hardly wait for summer!
Easter was a fun day with family. We headed to church first thing in the morning followed by brunch at the Johnson's and an egg hunt for Maleana.  The entire afternoon was spent with my parents and a few family and friends. This year Easter at my parents was the smallest group of people in years, but it was still fun. I always love spending time with my family, it is so great to be back in town.  The weather was so warm into the night we sat outside enjoying our Easter feast and chatting till late. 
I am absolutely loving this fresh spring weather, I sure hope it lasts into summer!

Volleyball BYU v CSULB

I have enjoyed seeing Jules so much over the past few weeks! Friday we headed up to the Volleyball game to cheer Russ and the team on. Unfortunately the game did not go as well as we had hoped but it was still fun. The girls cheered loudly from the stand while the boys got embarrassed. After the game we ate Rosco's chicken and waffles which was a hit by all who enjoyed the yummy greasy fatty foods!

We spent most nights this week celebrating Tim's birthday! We enjoyed Takao with Katri and Matt eating Hummingbirds and the yummy rolls we love. We celebrated his birthday night at Albertacos followed by Cherry on Top with a few good friends. I can not express enough how ecstatic we are to be back with our friends and family especially for special occasions!  Tim enjoyed his week working, surfing, golfing, and swimming along with spending time with our friends and my fam. Happy Birthday Bubuu.

It was great having Jules and Sadie here from Ptown, Bones from Arizona, and Crissy and Ella from Arizona all in town on Sunday!! So fun, we miss all of you and your spouses move back soon!  The week has been filled with lots of birthday celebrations!

Birthday Girl Ella

Chrissy and Ella came down from Arizona to celebrate Ella's 2nd birthday.  The party was held at Chuck E Cheese, it had been years since I had stepped into Chuck E Cheese.  I was reminded of my birthday party (i think it was my 6th birthday) that was held at Chuck E Cheese, I remember getting 2 Cabbage Patch Kids and I was thrilled. The place sure was a ton more fun back then. Although us girls did have a fun time today eating pizza, chasing down the mouse, and playing tons of games.  The  favorite of the day was the character photo drawing booth. I always enjoy seeing the girls from high school and their little ones. Weird how fast we have all grown up! Chrissy announced they are expecting their second baby! Happy Birthday little miss Ella, we miss you girls.

Lunch with the girls

Girls and Babes

Chrissy and Naomi with Julie and Sophia

Nic, Jules, Sadie

Julie is in town for a visit which was a great excuse to get a group of girls together for some fun. We wondered the Spectrum, ate Javiers, and enjoyed each others company. It is so fun that most of my friends all know each other in some random way and we all get along. I can not even believe how grown up we are and so many of the girls have babies now! The babies are so adorable and very well behaved. It was such a crack up watching them interact with each other and babble to one another. Jules and Sadie we miss you and can hardly wait for May to come!
