Happy Birthday America!

The 4th of July...a great day to celebrate our freedoms, BBQ with family and catch a Grizzly game!! And what celebration isnt complete with out silly hats?!?

Oh yeah, bring on the hot dogs and fireworks....we got the hat!!

Family camp in Moro Bay

Ok, truth be told we took the easy way out of family camp this year. We stayed with nana/papa in the coast house...in thier nice warm comfy beds. But we came for breakfeast, that counts for something, right?

Happy campers

Just because shes soo cute

climbing trees is part of the whole camping thing..

Ehtan just relaxin around the camp fire...

Boys getting the fire started...

Apollos first camping trip...he has about 20 layers on, a hat AND sunglasses! Too cute!! We loved seeing everyone..and especailly loved going home to our warm beds (hehehe). Now thats camping!!

Santa Cruz

Nothing says summer like a trip to the boardwalk...you can almost taste those corndogs and soft serve icecream..So fun! The boys LOVED the rollercoaster!! Yes, even Noah had big smiles after riding it! They must have gone on it 4 times!! Crazy thing was we had to fluff Logans hair to get him to meet the height requirement..no problem. But even with the fluff, he was too small for the bumper cars!! Ha Ha!!

Then off to our 'Kamp' site...we love the KOA...all the fun without the hassle!! They have these great bikes you can rent and the kids love ridding around the camp site!

Getting our toes in the sand..

and what summer trip wouldn't be complete without SMORES!??! Oh yeah, bring them on...

Our cozy airstream...now this is camping in style!!!

We LOVE summer!!

say cheese!

With the boys birthdays in april/may it was time to have their pictures taken. Not that I really need an excuse...I really just love picutres. I love the way it captures a moment in time in a way my memory can't. I am fortunate to have a friend that takes amazing pictures. I love how these turned out!

Beutiful Boys! I am soo blessed!!!

summer visits

We were lucky to have some visits from aunts and uncles this summer! We got some one on one time with aunt Becky and and cutie Apollo.

Then came a trip to the zoo with grandma di, papa marc aand unle mike (from missouri)

love the new dino dig!

our fav spots are the reptile house and sting ray bay

picnic time!

Ethan getting a lift on the cooler! Tired after runing through the zoo!

BIg Brother

Noah has taken on the job of mowing this past year, and actually loves it. He has always been an outside guy and hard worker. I love how he has taken his job as mower and big brother and combined them. He makes sure Ethan has plenty of bubbles in his mower before they start and makes sure keeps a pace his little brother can keep up with.

Its enough to melt any moms heart:)

Our Garden

After we got rid of the dog, it was my dream to plant a garden. The boys worked hard to get my garden back in shape..and we have since reaped the rewards!! We have fresh herbs, raddish, cucumbers, tomatos, zuccini, peppers and MORE! I even got a Kumquat tree! YUM!

The Prophet said to plant a garden so that is what will do....

Memorial Day 2010

Memorial day...a day to remember those who have served our country to gave us the freedoms we enjoy, a day to remember those who have passed on and a day to BBQ and picinic with friends and family.

Perfect day!! Great burgers and lots of smiles!!

Noahs 11th bday

For Noahs 11th bday we rented a giant slide and had lots of friends over to play and eat pizza. For his present he wanted to have two friends spend the nite-graydon and dylan. Dad even set up a tent for the boys! It was an awesome day for an awesome boy!!

WATERBALLON FIGHT!!

You cant run from the terrible twos, so you might as well welcome them with a party at the park! We went to my new fav park-dry creek park and played and had a big BBQ for all our friends and family. Hello two's here we come!
