Skillet concert
Nathan drove....
Friends!
It's already May? And I know...I have sorely neglected our blog once again. People are probably sick of checking it to see why there's no update and have given up.
Here are some recent pictures:
Kenny and I went to Modesto to go to the Third Day concert...it was so much fun and a great concert!
Third Day...Brandon Heath and Revive opened for them.
Mac Powell of Third Day
Dan and his friend Katya took a science class together, and they had a little presentation night recently. They both did a great job in class...and had a great teacher too! Thank you Mrs. Trummel!
Some of Dan's work...great job!
Last night we went to the A's game with a bunch of our friends. It was fun, and the A's actually won! They haven't done very well this season, but it's still a blast to go to the games. After the games, they had a great fireworks show! Enjoy the pictures!
I am so loving this cooler weather. Makes me anxious for fall to come. I love autumn. It's my favorite season of all! I'm looking forward to candles lit, fires in the fireplace and chilly nights!
In two weeks, we'll be heading to Capitola for our annual family vacation there, and we can't wait! The kids and I have been busy getting our list together of stuff to take, they have their favorite foods that we always have while we are there. S'mores, jiffy pop (the popcorn in the little pan that you cook on the stove), morning pancakes and of course for dinner..a big pizza from "Pizza My Heart!"
Nothing much else is new, this is basically a post about nothing in particular. :)
1. Visiting with my friends Jacque, Pam and Mary...Stacey had already left. Fun night!
2. The incredible view from our balcony in Dana Point, where we celebrated our anniversary (early...it's not until the 12th!)
3. Having a great time in Dana Point!
4. This is the Blue Lantern Inn, where we stayed. It's on a bluff overlooking the marina. Our room was on the third floor.
5. We celebrated my Mom's birthday on Monday!
Yep, it's hot. Yesterday on our van thermometer we actually saw 114 degrees!!! I heard that it's supposed to be even hotter today, but I can't imagine how that could be!
Nothing much is new...Dan and Lizzy are taking swimming lessons; they are enjoying that. Dan is in one of the more advanced classes and is learning how to actually swim laps! Yesterday I watched him 'dolphin kick' all the way across the pool! Lizzy is finally comfortable enough in the water to do whatever is asked of her. I think having our own little pool has helped them both. And they spent several hours in our pool yesterday afternoon to stay cool!
Monday night we went to the A's game. Started out rather pathetic, but ended well...they won 4-3! It was cooler in Oakland too, although when we were driving home at 10pm it was still 90 degrees outside! In the pictures above, you can see how excited Lizzy was at the end of the game. She almost fell asleep!
Today is another busy day, with Bible study, swimming lessons, gymnastics and prayer meeting! Hope everyone stays cool!!
We've had a couple of busy weeks! First we had a great visit with some old friends, the Webb family! Kenny and James were in the Navy together, stationed on the same submarine back in the early 90's. We hadn't seen them for 15 years! It was fun to catch up and meet their kids. We had a wonderful time with them!
Kenny went with his Mom to Boston for a wedding. This picture is of Kenny's sister Marilyn, her husband John and Mom Eleanor. The wedding was for Kenny's niece (Marilyn's daughter). A nice time was had by all!
On the same weekend Kenny was gone, Nathan and Tim were also gone to a Youth Conference in Riverside. They had a good time, despite the 110 degree heat! Dan, Lizzy and I stayed home together, and spent lots of time in the pool!
Last week, Dan and Lizzy also went to VBS and enjoyed that very much!
Lastly, Friday night was our annual A's vs. Giants baseball game. We go with a huge group every year. The A's won!
This week may be a little quieter; not so many activities! Next week, we'll start swimming lessons for Dan and Lizzy, and Nathan is starting his job search too.
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!
We had a fun weekend! The pictures here are from Father's Day when Kenny was opening his presents. We got him a new blender with a big powerful motor and a grinder for his flax seed. That's what he asked for! :) We had a nice day yesterday, and Kenny got to take his honorary Father's Day nap. :) And don't you like his apron? He wanted to BBQ for Father's day! :)
