Our fishing adventure







The boys have been begging to go fishing. We went up the canyon a few Saturday's ago.
Blake didn't really care about the fishing. He just wanted to play in the freezing water.

Jackson is in Kindergarten

Jackson started Kindergarten the end of July. He loves it so much. He has an awesome teacher and his school is also awesome. I am Secretary for the PTA so I get an inside look at what is happening there. All I can say is "WOW". I could not have asked for a better school experience.


Summer in a nutshell

I know that I am so behind on blogging for the summer. I didn't have a computer for part of the summer and then I just got so busy with school starting and PTA projects. It doesn't look like life will be slowing down anytime soon so I guess I am just going to have to find time to blog.

Here is our summer in a very small nutshell:

My aunt Terri always paints characters for the kids to get their pictures taken with for the 24th of July.

Chris' parents gave us a trip to Newport beach for Christmas. We had lots of fun at a beach house for a week. Hayden did not like the ocean. He loves swimming but the waves freaked him out. He is upset that Chris is holding him in the water.


We thought that this starfish was dead. A teenage girl was carrying around the beach. Blake wanted to look at it. After he flashed his smile at her, she told him he could keep it. We later found out that it was alive. We took a picture and put it back in the water.



Hayden had lots of fun in the sand.


Jackson had a blast swimming in the waves and looking for seashells.

Taking the ferry to Balboa Island.
Grandpa Larry and Hayden doing what they do best together.....napping!

Jackson is so proud of his boogie boarding skills.




Blake hated the ocean. He had a few too many uncles telling him their were sharks in the water. He would only play in the sand.




Jackson would sit in the water and wait for the waves to pull him out. We had to stand nearby or else we were afraid he would get pulled too far in.

I have more pictures from the start of our trip. My camera was dead so they are on my MIL's camera. I will have to add them later.
