A Day at the Beach

We took a day trip to the beach today. The whole extended family went for the weekend and we met them there. It was fun.


This is my wonderful grandpa. He still teaches snowboarding all winter!!

Mommy and Jordan

"Hey Grandpa! How fast can you run?"

Skylar and her great grandma

Jordan and Uncle Billy

Jordan and my cousin Chelsea. Chelsea was adopted from Korea 20 years ago. What a blessing to our family!

Daddy, Jordan, Matt, and Seth

Skylar loved digging in the sand

Driving to SLO. Avila Beach was too cold.

"Mommy, can I have a pony? Pleeeeeaaaasse!!!!"

Jordan loved his cookies

Okay I know everyone will probably be thinking, "How horrible that she is filming that!" But this is after 90 minutes of screaming. I tried toys, drinks, promises of french fries, and everything else I could think of but they weren't having it.

Funny Man

Daddy is at his fighting practice so we are at home learning to make funny noises.

Gilroy-Round 2

Me and my mom took the kids back to Gilroy Gardens today. It was fun, but very hot!
Jordan wasn't too sure if he liked the fishies
"Look mom, I'm in the strawberry"

Best friends

Yea!"Someone needs to hold my hat!"

"Can I get my license now?"

Jordan loved playing in the water

Skylar's very first Icee. She refused to put it down.

This is a video of Skylar on the miniature horses. I can't figure out how to turn it around so you will have to turn your head sideways if you want to see LOL :)

What's a Mom to Do?

My kids have developed an obsession with banging on the television and fireplace! They do it together and make a wonderful team. I on the other hand am about to rip my hair out! I used to put them in their rooms for time out. But today Skylar was able to open her bedroom door for the first time. She just walked out and laughed at me. So after numerous attempts at time out, several lectures, and a little bribery (none of which seemed to make a dent in their plans), I finally did what any self-respecting supermom would do....I gave up and started filming them.

It's hard to get mad at them when they are so cute. They are always hugging and kissing eachother now. Here's a video to show you just how much they love eachother.

Skylar has become really attached to dolls and stuffed animals lately. She got a new doll today that has a bottle so she was holding and feeding it all day. She wouldn't go to bed until she put the baby to sleep in her stroller. She is also refusing to sleep without a thousand stuffed animals around her so I have to sneak back into her room and take some out so she can breathe a little! Here's a picture of her right before she fell asleep last night.

Happy 4th of July!

We always go to my grandparents' house on the 4th of July. The whole family goes and it is so much fun. We spend the day swimming and having our traditional ping pong tournament (which I always manage to lose). Oh most importantly, there is always homemade ice cream. At night we do fireworks. I had no idea how the kids would react this year. Skylar did great. We actually had trouble keeping her away from the fire. She is not afraid of anything....Except my scary pink vacuum. Jordan was afraid, but he didn't cry. He just held on really tight and gave me super good hugs, which was absolutely fine by me.
