BIGGER

Rocky is still getting bigger. He is now about 16lbs.

Adventure City and Doll Museum

Jeff and I took the kids to adventure city (this is a horrible, low budget theme park). They had fun but the place was a dump. I was sick the whole day with a cold so that made it even worse. Right next to the park is a really old doll museum with lots of Shirley Temple one of a kind, and many more really neat old dolls. The boys stayed outside while Baylee and I looked around.

Disneyland Pics

Here are some more pics from Disneyland. Rebecca is the only one I could get to go up and pose with the characters while my mom took Emily on splash mountain.

Disneyland

My mom and I took the kids to Disneyland. We had lots of fun on all the rides and stayed until 11:00 pm.

Hermosa Beach

The kids and I went to Hemosa beach with Becky to see Qiana and Steve. We had lots of fun going to lunch, riding bikes, and getting ice cream.

Having Fun

The kids have been having lots of fun. Rami, Francesca and their kids were visiting CA. We went to the zoo one day and the next they came over to go swimming. They all had lots of fun together. (I forgot my camera). Here are some pics of the kids playing dress up with their cousins.

Rocky is getting bigger by the day!!!

Here is Rocky, he is now 13 pounds. He has now learned to sit and is getting a little better on the leash. The kids love him so much. They love to go out and play with him.

BEACH DAYS

Sunset Beach

Yesterday we went to Sunset Beach. We had lots of fun playing in the sand and water. There were lots of jelly fish so we couldn't swim much but it was still lots of fun to get out in the sunshine and fresh ocean air.

Bowling

Here we are bowling with our good friends Kelly and Christofer. We had lots of fun.

Jeff's Birthday

August 8 was Jeff's birthday. Poor Daddy had to go to work at 4am, but that night we had a nice dinner and an ice cream cake.

Swim Lessons

Baylee and Riley have started taking swim lessons again. They will be going for the next two weeks. They both cried the first two days, but now thanks to snow cone bribery Baylee is now enjoying her lessons and sales are up on snow cones at the snack bar. As for Riley it still takes him about 5 min to start enjoying his lesson.

Here is a picture of our new dog "Rocky". He is a six week old Boxer. We love playing with him and taking care of him.

DIGITAL DRAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last week my parents took the kids and I to Donner Lake to spend a week in a cabin with my brother and my two neices. Bad news first. Day two my camera was stolen from the beach at the lake. It was taken right behind us when nobody was looking. I was so upset because I had all of my memory cards in the bag and lots of great pictures stored on them. That night my brother drove me 1 1/2 hours to the nearest best buy and I bought another camera and memory card. I took some really great pictures throughout that week, about 100 and three really great videos of Baylee dancing. Today I tried to load them on the computer and there was an error and it caused my disk to need reformating, which erases all of the pictures. I took it to a camera store to make sure but that is all I could do. I am so upset about all this digital drama, I just want my pictures. Anyways we had a good trip up to Donner. All accept for poor Rebecca was sick the whole time with horrible pink eye and high fever. We all felt so bad for her. While we were there we went to the beach on the lake, swam and took a paddle boat ride. My dad and I took the kids to Squaw Valley one day. We rode the gondola to the top which they call high camp, there they have a resort with a pool, jacuzzi and ice skating rink. We all swam and later went on a beautiful hike to big patches of snow which had not melted yet in the hot 88 degrees. The kids had lots of fun walking through the big fields of flowers, having snowball fights and building a snowman. On Sunday we watched my brother as he competed in a triathalon of about 500 people. I believe he came in 6th in his age division. He is an amazing athelete. So we are all just going to have to use are imaginations to visualize all of this, as I did at one time have a picture of just about everything that we did. The kids even made me take pics of all the cool bugs that they found. Well it is good that we all made it home safetly. Although Baylee seems to have caught the virus from Rebecca. She has had a 104 fever and pukes all day. She says she is very sick and horrible and she doesn't want to feel like this any more. Hopefully she will feel better soon.

BBQ

Here are some of the cool boxes that we made at the BBQ. These are Baylee's two best friends Kelly and portia.

SPARKLER FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

Hope you all had a great 4th of July. The kids had lots of fun at our BBQ, watching fireworks and playing with sparklers and all their friends.
