Growing Up Too Fast

Kendyll decided she wanted a short haircut. I took her in and she told Miss Sara exactly what she wanted. I think she aged by 4 years in a matter of minutes. I wish there was a way to keep them at a stage for a longer time.

I Love my bed!

Elway got a new bed and it is so cute to see him sleep in it. He changes positions and each one look more comfy than the one before. Here are a few.

Splish Splash Elway's Takin a Bath

This is not one of his favorite activities.

It's a Boy!

We have a new member of our family! His name is Elway and he is a yellow lab. We got him from a lady in Ventura and he is one of 7 lab puppies. His mom and dad are chocolate labs. He has the most beautiful eyes. They are a blue-green color. We hope they will stay that color but were told by a breeder that they will turn brown. Over all he is a great puppy. We are working on the appropriate areas to pee and trying to have him chew on toys not our hands and ears. Some days, or shall I say nights, I feel like I have an infant again. He is going to be so great for the kids. I'm looking forward to taking him to the park, but have to wait for 3 months so he is safe from parvo. If anyone has any great puppy tips please let me know.

Back to Universal Studios

Ken's 2nd cousin was visiting from Oklahoma and we took her to visit Universal Studios. It was a gorgeous day.
Kasey and Justin getting busted!

VROOOOOOMMMMM!

Kendyll and Marilyn

Kolby was a bit tired after walking all day.

A Day in the Life of Daddy

We went out to the Camarillo Airport to watch Ken and about 15 other motors practice cone pattern skills. It was neat to see all of them together manuvering 500 pound motorcycles in tight figure 8s, stopping in a fraction of a second from 60 mph and weaving through cones no farther than 2 feet apart. I took Kolby and Hunter to watch. Another added bonus was the planes passing closely overhead on approach. I'm very proud of Ken. He did a great job.

We LOVE the Train!

Waiting patiently for our train.

Lisa, Kolby, Alexa, Peyton, Kasey, Sharon, Kendyll and Caleb after our very fun day on the train. Thanks Grandma Barbara!

We took a train from Anaheim to San Juan Capistrano a few weekends ago. We ate luch at Ruby's and 1/2 of us went to the mission and the other 1/2 went to the petting zoo. Then we hopped on the train back to Anaheim. This trip was very special to Kasey as it was the very one he and Grandma took often. We went with Grandma Barbara (my Mom's best friend) and her daughter Lisa and her 3 kids who are the same ages as mine.

Mission San Juan Capistrano

The kids and I went down to San Juan Capistrano 2 weeks ago to visit the mission. Kasey is in 4th grade and is studying missions. I was so excited that he picked this one because it is the one I visited and reported on when I was in 4th grade. I didn't remember how beautiful it was, most 4th graders wouldn't. Here are a few pix to show you the beauty and my 2 cute sons.

Sweethearts Ball

Kendyll and Daddy went to a Father-Daughter Sweethearts Ball tonight. They both looked fantastic. They had a great time. Kendyll said they had great moves on the dance floor.

This is Kendyll and her best friend Alissa.

The daper couple! I'm so happy to see Daddy and Kendyll making such great memories. Nothin' like a Daddy and his daughter dressed up and going on a date.

Ahoy Mateys

While we were in the OC we visited the Pirates Adventure Dinner. The kids had a good time. Kasey was chosen to ride in a boat around the ship. It was a good time but I think once is enough. It was a bit pricey. Been there done that!
