A Few Things We've done lately.....

We have been busy and not busy the past two weeks. And here are a few pictures! We went over to our friends Jeremy and Talli's for Sunday Dinner and we all had a good laugh watching these two in the backyard. At first Josh was not wearing girl clothes and was just walking next to Megan, he then fell onto the slip'n slide that had not dried out yet and we had to change him into this lovely ensemble. Tyler hated him in the girl clothes and kept telling us that it was freaking him out! HaHa, regardless Josh and Megs had a great time riding around the back yard, that is until they hit this wall.This picture is my favorite, I just think it is so funny!

Shaver Lake

Steve decided that we needed a trip up to the mountains to a place near by called Shaver Lake. He went up to 'check it out' and then we all went up the next day. The kids helped daddy build a fire, we cooked some hotdogs for lunch, went for a dip in the lake and then headed home. The kids thought it was fantastic and everyone had a great time. Despite what Daddy thinks, this mommy had fun! Steve was so intense on his fire that it put a big smile on my face!!!

This is while the kids were waiting and helping Daddy find some kindling.

The fire maker.

Josh thought this ride back to the car was pretty fun.

NEWPORT BEACH

This past week Steve had to head down to So. Cal for work, luckily because the kids aren't in school yet, we were able to go with him. While he was working during the day the kids and I went over to Ryan and Nicole's to play. I hope Nicole took some pictures because I totally didn't. The kids went swimming and played, we went to Castle Park and even walked to the Frozen Yogurt place. It was fun to see them because it has been a few months and baby Grace is cute and growing way to fast.

After Steve would be done work we would play, we went swimming at the Hotel one night and then of course would watch the Olympics - we are sooo fun! The next evening Steve took us to a really cool beach in Laguna, it was right down from the most beautiful hotel called the Montage Resort and Spa - I would love to stay at this place it was incredible! Anyway, the beach was really fun, my only complaint was that there were some strong rip tides. We even saw the life guard go in after a girl. Brooklynn and Josh were very timid of the water and just played in the sand. Steve and Tyler had a great time in the water and exploring the beach and the rocks nearby. It was a fun couple days and a good way to finish up our summer adventures and get ready for school next week!

Only a few more play dates and swim days and then Tyler starts 2nd grade, with turn 8, start cub scouts and then get Baptised at the end of September. Brooklynn will start Kindergarten, soccer, and I think I am going to put her in a dance class. Bring on a schedule baby I am ready for it!This is us on the walkway in front of the cool hotel and above the beach. Steve was mad and said I didn't take enough pictures of us 'making memories' Haha.

Tyler would totally be a beach bum if we live in the OC
