Misc July

It's been one of our best summers yet, and we're only half-way done! We've had so much fun. The party train has been rolling non-stop. We've been to the beach and pool a LOT!
Different beaches all the time and even a bonfire with family.
Taking the people mover from the parking lot down to the beach. This was fun. We hadn't done this before and the kids thought it was cool.
1st time Kyle wore a Hawaiin shirt. 4 months old! He's getting so big!
I taught a little sewing camp for a few days with some girls. They loved it and so did I!
Playing at the spectrum mall.

July: Petting Zoo

I had a great groupon to Zoomar's petting zoo. We waited till Jason could go with us. It was small but the kids had fun.
Jayne was in heaven feeding and holding the rabbits and hamsters.
The train only went 10 ft. in a circle but Ryan loved it.
Fun summer days!

July: Nordstrom Sale

Like tradition, we hit the Nordstrom Sale again for some school clothes. The kids did pretty well since it was just me with the 3 of them. :-)

July : Lake Mohave

The kids and I took an adventure out to Lake Mohave with my parents and siblings for a water skiing trip (Jason had to work). It was a lot of work for me to do solo and a long drive, but we had so much fun! It was worth it just to see how excited they both got to go on the tube, teaching Ryan what a life vest was (That was hilarious. He kept thinking he had to really swim. So he'd be working so hard and I had to show him he could just float with the jacket!), and how excited they got to stay in a hotel. I did get to ski too but the water was just ok and I realize I'm still out of shape from having a baby only 4 months ago! But it was fun!
My mom with her grandbabies!
My little boat girl. She loved every minute!
Me, Jayne, and Ryan on the tube. Ryan puts his hands in the air like a roller coaster and tells me, "look mom, no hands!" and then "don't hold on to me, mom, I can do it by myself!" He loved it!
I think he's gonna want to wake board next summer. He thinks he's a big kid. Pretty funny.
Kyle's first boat trip! He did so great! He stayed cool, took naps, and was as happy as could be. He never cried and really went with the flow of things all trip.
And he loved the water!
Ryan so happy swimming with Grandpa!
Jayne even got brave enough to go with Uncle Trenton on his jet ski! She was smiling the entire time.
Kyle and my mom. We had so much fun, the kids are asking when they get to go again :-)

4th of July

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend. We spent a day in Pasadena at my bro/sis-in-law's pool club. And on Monday, the 4th, we hosted a party for Jason's family. We did the pool, then dinner at our house and fireworks we could see from our front yard. It was a wonderful day! Sadly, I was too busy hosting to take pictures at the party.
The morning of 4th of July, we took the kids for a walk on the beach. It was the most beautiful day!
Kyle even fell asleep for his morning nap before we could make it back to the car :-)

July: Dance Recital

Jayne had her second Dance Recital. It was adorable. And of course she did amazing. She loves it so much. It's so fun to see her in her element.
