Jack's 8th Birthday

Zach and Jack are two weeks apart in age and truly the best of buds!! We went up to spend Jack's birthday with him and had a sleep over. The kids had a blast and loved being together. We celebrated with a little Round Table pizza, birthday cake at home, and pool time the next day.

Happy Birthday Boy!

In addition to an Itunes gift card, Zach made Jack a present that included a letter with a coin holder including coins in it.

Jilly and her painted face, too bad it washed off when she went swimming!

Saying Goodbye to Great Papa's Ranch

My grandparents bought land out in Campo many years ago and built their house on 55 acres of land. My grandma passed away a few years ago and now my grandfather had to sell the house as it was too much for him to maintain. I grew up going out to the ranch helping my grandparents with all the animals they used to have. There are so many wonderful memories there. Zach remembers coming there but Luke and Jillian really had no memory of the ranch since we didn't frequent it often over the past few years. We had the opportunity before the sale was final to go out there and get some stuff and take a few pictures. The kids had a blast exploring!

Opening Day of T-Ball for Luke

Opening day this year was kicked off with a pancake breakfast and then team pictures. This is Luke's first year with T-Ball. His is on the Bats and has two friends from church on his team. His best friend, Miles, is on the Bulls. He plays 2 games a week, a week day game and a Saturday game. It is so cute to see these little guys out there trying to learn the ropes all the while trying not to let their attention span get the best of them. Luke is one of the littlest guys on the team.

Being silly!

Johnson Family Visit!!!!

Where do I even begin with pictures??? We were soo fortunate to spend 5 days with the best family! My best friend Kira brought her family for their first visit to San Diego. As you can see we had an absolute blast and were very very busy showing them some of the sights of San Diego. The trip went way too fast and the kids had a ton of fun. They all cried when Will and Kate had to go home. I hear that Will wants to live in San Diego now...maybe one of these days??!! Auntie Cole can only hope! Will and Kate loved our green dune buggy so much that Kira and Cody bought them one when they got home. We are all definitely looking forward to the next trip whether it be to SD or us going to Utah!
