pinewood derby

 Yes, very scary!  I helped with the HS last day of school Luau, which was a little cool weather wise, but a lot of fun.  They had great food, dancers and dancing, games and as you see face painting.  This is our Tiki Tiki Warrior Grantathonalon.  I think he enjoyed it as much as I did.

 Troy took the kids to Strawberry Res. and while he did some fishing they kids caught some crawdads...  this one was running away.

 The boy of the hour!  Ethan made his shark pine wood derby car.  He did awesome, came in 2nd a few times and then was passed up by some pretty intense cars.  Awesome job buddy!  And a special thanks to Victor who helped him paint his car.

Love that we finally could have a summer bbq, glad Becca and fam could join us!

girls trip

I have returned from the not very sunny, but nice and warm, beaches of southern california. Sigh. I think I could have used another week, oh well, onward we go. My baby sister turned 30 on Monday so last week we headed off for a girls long weekend to sit/walk on the beach, shop and eat out. We had a grand time and I was finally unwinding and relaxing and it was time to go. Our first day, yes we were a bit chilly, but we soon aclimated to the breezy ocean front childless lifestyle : )

Walked every morning on the beach, something I could easily get used to.

Tricia left us early, but suggested we spend the day on Coronado Island, so we did and had a wonderful, next time you'll have to enjoy it with us babe!

swimming

The grandparents opened the pool last week so we went swimming after school on Monday, even though it looked like rain and was only 56 degrees outside. The pool was 90, so I had to drag kids out of the pool when it was time to go.
