Our little monkey

Soccer!

First soccer game! Matthew is on the Kung Fu Panda team. Matthew is number 8. It was so fun to watch the kids play--at one point we had one girl crying cause the other team scored, and a little boy crying cause it was his turn to sit out! Ahh, gotta love the under 5 teams. It was a fun game--and most importantly Matthew had so much fun. Oh, great coaching by the way Jim and Dyana!

1st day of school

Our 8 weeks of summer went by in the blink of an eye--now we're back to school! Lauren is in 7th grade, Sydney 4th, Kaycee 2nd and Matthew kindergarten!

Bike riding

We've had a really nice summer weather wise. Almost every night we'd take a walk to a development that never quite got finished. The roads are paved, and plots for homes are done, but all the building has stopped. It makes for a great place to ride bikes, walk dogs, and jump from one plot to the next!

Girls camp

Lauren took a lot of pictures at girls camp this year! She went to Alpine Meadows camp--up in Big Bear. She had a GREAT time!

Summer of "09

I was HORRIBLE at taking pictures this summer! We swam--a LOT, went to the free movies at the mall, had lots and lots and lots of friends over, got all our prizes from the library, spent time with cousins, camped at Doheny beach and Pismo beach, jumped on the trampoline with a sprinkler hooked to the pole--then added bubbles, (hey no baths required!) had more friends over, made it to the beach a few times and did a lot of relaxing!











Pismo beach was COLD and CROWDED--but we still had fun!
