Beach Days

The beach is by far one of our favorite places to go. We were supposed to go today but alas, things didn't go as planned. Here are some pictures from our last trip on Monday. All three boys do really great there now. They are afraid of the water just enough to not go too far. Judah loves to sit and dig in the sand and his brother join him in between trips to the water's edge.

Judah's Birthday

Our little "baby" Judah turned two last Friday. We celebrated with our small group at our house. You can see more photos from the birthday party here.

School's Out!

Jason and Silas are now both out of school for the summer. I don't think I've looked forward to summer time since I was in school. It's going to be nice to not have to be at so many places at specific times and for the kids to have a little freedom in their schedules. Jason had a great year in Kindgergarten at Taper and Silas couldn't get enough of preschool. We are really thankful that our kids go to great schools. We've started swim lessons and look forward to beach days with the George's. What's on your agenda this summer?

Camp Pendleton Mud Run 2007

Last weekend, some of us from our Life group particpated in the world famous Camp Pendleton Mud Run. I of course did not run, but Steve ran and did awesome. He completed the 10K (6.2 miles) in 1 hour 17 minutes and 1 second. The boys and I had fun playing in the sand and cheering them on as they crossed the finish line.

Jason Turns 6

Jason turned the big 6 last week. We went to A Pirate's Dinner Adventure in Buena Park to celebrate along with Ava, Papa and Gigi and JJ's buddies, Ethan and Elijah. We had a blast, even Judah was clapping and cheering for the scallywags! At the end of the show, the kids dressed up like Red Coats and battled the Pirates to save the princess.

Happy Easter

We had a great Easter this year. It was super busy as always, packed with two Easter egg hunts, an egg decorating party, a Tim Matson concert at Awakenings Coffee House, Easter Sunrise Service, Steve taught Sunday School and a gathering with friends at our house. Needless to say, it was full but very fun. Here are some pictures of our boys and from our Easter dinner.
