saturday fun!

Daddy had to work today so the boys and I headed down to Ventura to go to the Parade with our friend Micah and his DD:) Caleb wasn't in the best mood but Jack and Micah had a great time!Jack even decided to ditch us and go sit with a whole nother group. Then we got to go watch our friend Miss Stephanie coach a soccer game and play with our friend Kailee. It was a nice morning just the three of us but we really missed daddy!

DD

So I think it has officially become a family tradition. We took the boys to the Demolition Derby at the fair again...and they had a great time! It was a nice time with friends and family even though some didnt get a chance to stay very long:( sorry Chels We missed you:(
I think next time we aren't gonna show up till later...it was a 4 hour event and the demo derby is at the very end! too long for momma!
Our time last year!!


this year!

VBS Performances!

I have been waiting for my child's first musical performance since before I was married! I love watching kids...so awkward and shy, so confident and loud, and then others just in their own world picking their nose. And then there is Caleb who I had to bribe with a lollipop to get up there and shake it! He has been doing it all week and I would've been so bummed if he just stood there (like he did at the rehearsal)!
But he did it! I am such a proud MAMA! I love this boy and I love watching him learn and grow! For some of you this may feel monotonous watching these videos but for family I know you'll appreciate it:)
Sunday Morning Performance!




The week of VBS!

Where you can download a free copy of the Cray Love on audio!!! I have already listened to the first three chapters just from one trip to Ventura and back and it is awesome! I can't wait to drive to Ventura tonight:) I hope you all get the chance to listen/read this book! This "free" deal ends August 1st!!

On the way home we took the highway 1 and stopped at the beach to watch the amazing waves!! Unbelievable..."God is Powerful"...."FEAR NOT" (vbs) A really fun day
