Metemorphis

This summer we got a butterfly kit. Our larva came in the mail and we watched them eat and grow into Caterpillars then create a Chrysalis and finally hatch as Butterflies!

IT WAS WONDERFUL! 

The kids enjoyed watching and waiting for the whole process.

They even enjoyed letting them go int he end.

HORSE CAMP!

Lacey on Big Red! She loved her week long horse camp.

She learned a ton and enjoyed the trail rides.

Giant Cookies with Dad!

While I worked at the studio the kids made GIANT SUGAR COOKIES with Dad.

When sugar is involved the more the better!

Lacey's Fashion Project

Lacey sewed her patriotic skirt all by herself! She is so proud.

Rustin is 15!

All Rutt wanted for his birthday this year was a Ukulele!

Here it is...It's a beaut!

He spent an hour or so on Ukulele Underground and now he jams away on it.

The best part is it is electric so his next plan is to buy the amp. and cord to go with it.

We had a Yard Party for his Birthday.

Outdoor games and Hot dogs.

Of course it turned into a huge water fight!

Rustin we are so proud of you and the smart choices you are making.

You have a lot of big things coming up in the next few years ahead and we know you will continue to learn a lot. Your fun loving ways are a blast to be around.

Your fun sense of humor cheers up our home and we thank you for that.

You are loyal and trustworthy and your a hard worker, very manly qualities indeed!

Happy Birthday Rustin!

Jaxon is 6!

I love you Jaxon!

You are the sweetest boy. You have a tender heart and you love all creatures(especially soft cuddly ones). You love having fun and prefer to take life at your own pace.

We admire your desire to show kindness to everyone and to be a loyal friend.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Hilarious!

My boys called me in to this surprise...

Look Mom, don't we look pretty?

They were laughing so hard they could hardly pose for the picture.

Crazy Boyz!

Summer Vacation: Imperial Beach CA

The day after school was out we took off...We took our vacation early this summer.

We went with two other families and stayed at a beach house right on the beach!

It was so warm and nice we had a great time just taken it easy.

Frisbee fun

 the pier we walked on an watched the fisherman.

Also had a restaurant with the best fish tacos.

The sand was so fine and there were tons of shells and sand dollars. 

One of our favorite things was walking to the rocks and catching creatures that made homes there in the tide pools.

ballet on the beach

some of our coolest finds!

Boogie Boarding

There is no record of it but I actually played too.

Boogie boarded, built sandcastles and dug for sand crabs.

This was the best trip ever we can't wait to go back.
