dinosaur Grandma

All it takes is a dinosaur ride to get to Tres heart

Just tested the water a little today. We are all looking forward to swimming this summer.

Today was just one of those good sibling love days. I love it soooo much when my kids play well and actually seem to love each other. I hope they continue to happen as they get older

fishy

I actually caught a fish.....how exciting. :)

Fun in the SUN

When my mom asked what we wanted to do while visiting CA i told her about Collettes great desire to go to the beach again. So,...... Our family just had an awesome 3 day weekend at Fort Bragg.

My mom rented a 3 bed 3 bath cute little house really close to the beach and we all loved it. Collette and Tre had their 3 cousins Ryan Jacob, and baby Sophi to play with and we even had Nala and Kida (dogs) to run around with. Tre loved playing in the sand, finding glass and rocks at glass beach and climbing on the rocks.

Uncle Steven made sure Collettes request to see starfish was fulfilled. She was a mermaid in the sand and pretended she was Nim on her very own island.

I had such a great time just hanging out with the family with no other worries. We some how had the perfect weather, though it caused us to get sun burnt. We just wish Daddy was there too :(

Toliet paper fun

I think this is Tres first time getting hid sneaky hands on an entire roll of toilet paper. He thought it was pretty funny and Collette thought she should join in. Then there is the cat. Collette has been scratched 3 times now. I think most of the time they are provoked.

You can see what I mean with the picture. I didn't realize the she had put the seat down when I took it. She did get in trouble for that. Kids have all kids of weird fun.

corning car show

I think this is Tre's type of city event. They had a burn out contest where people took turns shredding there back tires. Tre got a kick out of it. then they had a cruse down the main street. All of the kids took turns cruising in the MG. Tre got a couple of extra rounds since Collette wasn't all too excited about it. We had a barbecue at the car lot with the whole family. Ryan and Jacob brought their bikes and they took turns riding around or chasing each other. Kind of tiring for the adults I would stay with 5 active kids, but we all had a good time. :)

Looks like we have a new vehicle! How much I don’t want a van I am not willing to pay more for gas and what not for something that is not. So Guess I’m the typical mormon van mom…….all well. It is not as nice as we were thinking we would get but it will be really good to keep the extra we thought we would spend for some savings. It’s a lovely 2000, just under 100,000 miles windstar (ha). But my dad has been checking everything out and if he finds anything we still can take it back. Should fill our needs nicely. And we are excited.
