Cali Trip


Over Labor day weekend we decided to take the kids to the beach and play. We stayed with Curt's cousin John and his wife Tori in Oxnard California, a very pretty place. The first day we went to the beach we saw wild dolphins, the kids thought that was great! The water was cold but that didn't keep the kids from jumping in! The next day we drove up the coast and went to another beach, where the kids got to play in the tide pools and find lots of little creatures. We also rented a little boat and took it through this neighborhood on water, very nice and I'm sure pricey houses. We were lucky enough to see some sea lions playing around and we got within 5 feet of one, very cool, the kids wanted to pet it! It was such a great vacation and it was so nice to see John and Tori, they are great!

Happy Birthday Luke
















I can't believe that my first born is 12 years old! He is such a joy in my life, we feel extremely blessed to have such a great kid! He is very considerate, full of life, loves to make us laugh and is so responsible. He teaches us to be better by his example, and what an example he is! We just love our Luke, Happy Birthday buddy!

A day at the bowling alley


We finally decided to use our gift card from last Christmas, thanks Anderson family. The kids loved it, although they are a lot better at the Wii bowling. All in all it was a great day!

Sammy's Birthday











The kids really wanted to celebrate Sammy's B-Day this year, so being the good parents that we are we did just that:) The kids wanted to take her to Petsmart and buy her a treat and get her a name tag for her collar. They all had a blast doing that with her and when we got home we sang to her and had cake, yes all of this for a DOG! We did it for the kids, right?

First day of school











The kids were ready to go back to school, they couldn't wait to see who was in their class. They really like their teachers and they have met some good friends. Luke is in the 6th grade, Madi is in 3rd grade and Max started kindergarten. I am so glad that they all like school(maybe not the homework)!
