SURF'S UP!

Noah attended Cola's Surf Camp while we were in San Clemente

First Day. Noah was soooo excited to start surf camp! Can ya tell?

During the camp they had a dress up day and Noah went as a tiger.

Look at him go!!! WOW!

Ride it all the way in!

Noah loved every minute of surf camp and can't wait

to go next summer! Especially if he can do it with

Uncle Dave!

Build-A-Bear Fun!

For Amy's birthday she wanted to go to Build-A-Bear.

She was treated like a queen with her brother Noah

and cousin Jason.

Each of the kids, after rubbing a heart in the air, on their arms,

on their hearts ect..., put a heart into Amy's bear so that

she was filled with love from everyone that was there

on her special day.

Washing the bears after they got stuffed. 

Cooling Off at California Disney

Bethany, Papa Mike, Dad, & Violet

Violet was not sure what to think about all the

different water sprinklers in the "Bugs Life" area.

Of course, Noah and Amy jumped right in and

got completely soaked!

Play Time with Mommy and Violet

Fun moments with Violet

Drum dum diddy drum diddy dum dum

Whose got the beat? Violet LOVED playing

the drums while visiting Papa and Nana.

I think she has found her calling:)

Eric also liked having the excuse to play.

Can you find the one thing that is out of place in this picture?

Here's a clue...Can you find the red ball?

Running with Dad

Dad and I went on several runs while we 

were there. Thanks Dad for helping me keep up

my miles while on vacation!

Trip to Cali-THE HUMMING BIRDS

When we got to Nana's, she had a  surprise

for us...baby humming birds! They were so cute.

Look how little they are!!! Noah accidentally hit the nest 

as he was trying to get a closer look so we had to carefully 

put them back up and hope that their mama would come

back and feed them....She did!

Trip to Cali-THE BEACH

THE BEACH

Noah loved to boogie board and body surf.

The waves were breaking really close

to the shore and the kids thought that

was AWESOME!

Violet did not really find the enjoyment of

sand between her toes.

Nana kept us all entertained with her Uke!

Eric and I at Laguna Beach! A date by ourselves. What a treat. Thank you Nana

"Legends" Dance Recital

"When I Grow Up"

Amy loves to Tap! She had a great time this year and did a wonderful job in her performance.

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful:)

Our little girl is growing up way too fast!

Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen that is me and I did dance in this recital as well.

I participated in an Adult Tap class and performed to a Van Halen mix.

I was very nervous but made it to the end. I think I even remembered to smile:)

PIcnic at the Park

We spent our lunch at the park during our

day downtown. The sun was shining and there

was a nice breeze. The kids had a great time.

Violet loves to be outside and on the go 

any time she can get away with it.

Chasing Seagulls

Again...

and again!

Violet LOVES all the attention she gets from her friends!

Father's Day 2008

I hadn't realized when I made Eric's Card that

Amy and Noah didn't know the song. (oopps:)

So I sang it to him and the kids read the words

and tried to follow along!

Doesn't that roll taste good. Yummy!

My wife treats me so well.

Papa Ron joined us for Father's Day.

It was great to have him there!

Last Day of School

Why are these kids smiling??? 

It's the last day of school and then Summer Vacation.

Both Noah and Amy had GREAT teachers and did really

well this year in their expeditions.

Spring has finally SRUNG!!!

I love when our flowers begin to bloom in our yard!

This is Eric's Favorite plant. It's called Lupine.

We planted strawberry plants last year and the kids love to eat them up!

The poor plants can't keep up with our kids:)
