Matt's 33rd Birthday

A quiet celebration at home, friend over for cake and ice cream oh and cobbler. Happy Birthday Matt.

Underwood Farms

Okay I finally did it, we took the family to Underwood Farms to pick veggies and strawberries. The weather was nice, the kids had fun. We had good company with Christine and Baylor. A rather successful day, a must to do again. Though next time I don't think Matt is going to pick the squash!

The Delta

For as long as I have been with Matt we have gone camping/water skiing every summer so minus the times I missed after having babies I have been to the Delta umm 12 times. This year was an adventure with 3 kids for 7 days, but the kids were champs, can't say so much for Mommy and Daddy. There was a large number of us this year do to the celebration of Jack and Sandy's 50th Wedding Anniv. A good time was had by all but I was ready for a vacation when we got home. Note to self 6 hours in a truck with 3 in cars seats is not so much fun.

Bracken's First Official Sleep Over

Bracken is definitely growing up, tonight he is at his first sleep over at a friends house. Mind you it is just a few houses down, but still a sleep over. I think I was more nervous then he was. All I got was come on it is just like when we stay at the Cabin with Pop and Grammie, but you are right there, and don't worry I will fall asleep so fast I am super tired. That was until he found out they were watching a movie, then he wasn't so tired but thinking about popcorn. Camden was not to sure with the thought of Bracken not being there at bedtime, but we didn't tell him he wasn't coming home just that he went to watch a show. To make it a bit easier he got to have water before bed which to him and Bracken is a big deal, got to watch a show down stairs and got a story read by mommy while we all cuddled. Now we are just taking bets to see if Bracken stays all night.

4th of July

Mommy is getting Crafty!

Can you believe it, I know it is hard for some of you, but I actually sewed Ainsley a dress for the 4th of July, and better yet I made myself a matching skirt. That picture is still so come. So now I have actually made drapes for my dinning room, super hero capes for many little boys, and a dress for Ainsley and a skirt for myself. One of these days maybe I will get good enough to make Halloween costumes like my mom used to.

Happy Anniversary!

Matt and I celebrated our 10 year Anniversary on June 19th. The weekend before we celebrated do to Father's day and all the College graduations that go on it is hard to book things for the actual weekend of. Matt planned the entire thing with a little pointing in the right direction but did most of it on is own and I was so proud of him. We stayed in Paso at the Justin Winery. They have the cutest B&B there and the wine is pretty good too. We had a driver on Saturday take us wine tasting, what a great idea that was because lets just say we know know why they do not recommend going to 8 wineries in an afternoon. We sure loved our wine though and come home with lots of bottles to stock our wine fridge. Sunday we got an early start and spent the afternoon in Santa Barbara. Our good and dear friends Randy and Christine came up and met us for lunch and some shopping. It was a great weekend. On our actually anniversary day Matt and I, Randy and Christine, and Becky and Eric went out to Opening Night at the Hollywood Bowl. We had a picnic and had lots of fun, a must to do again. Oh and did I mention that Matt got me beautiful Sapphire and diamond earrings to match my grandmothers ring. Love you Matt and Thanks Christine for all the help.

Swimming Again

The Boys had there last week of swim lessons finally! Camden has had a total 5 weeks every day so far ,and Bracken just 2. This mommy is ready for them to be over and very happy with the results. I have 2 little fish, that I can't keep out of the water. Definitely a Success!

Teeth

It is a known fact that our children do not get teeth until really late. Bracken was 15 months Camden was 14 months and Ainsley is no different almost 14 months still no teeth. Camden's teeth have been an issue all of there own. Until just this past October Camden was still missing 4 teeth on the bottom, and slowly but surely they came in all but 1. Mind you the 4 teeth he was missing were the 2 on ether side of his middle bottom teeth, so when he smiled you saw 2 teeth a big space and then molars. Well to all of our surprise the last tooth is coming in. Almost 3 1/2 years old and finally getting a tooth that many babies already have. Who would have ever guessed.

Swim Lessons Take 2

This week both boys are taking swim lessons again. A refresher for Bracken and drilling it into Camden. Both boys love swimming and are regular little fish. Bracken is working on his freestyle right now and Camden well Camden is being cute and flirting with the teacher most of the time.
