Camping in the Sierras!

We recenlty went up to the High Sierras to join all of Craig's family for 10 days of camping! Craig's parents came as well as his brother and family from Oregon. It was so much fun to see them because we don't get to see them often. Craig's sister Heather and her family came too! Here is a family picture that Craig took.

Things I have been thinking about

This past week I have enjoyed a few quotes. These have helped me to get through some stuff. It's always good to slow down in life and really look at the big picture. I always say to Craig life is just to short!!!



the glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him



An average man is too concerned with liking people or with being liked himself. A warrior likes, that's all. He likes whatever or whomever he wants, for the heck of it.



Have learned not to sweat the small stuff and just enjoy life...Life is way too short!



You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will become too late.



I especially like the last quote!!!

Mat and Melanie

Mat and Melanie came over last night for dinner! We had so much fun with the four of them. The girls played so well too. Baby Amber slept alot too! I always say it is always so much fun to be around couples who are in the same stage of life. Again we had so much fun!!!

Pizza Night

Last night we went to dinner with our good friends Megan and Dan. We had so much fun!!! Thanks guys:)

Tori and Brooke


Notice Brooke is not in this picture. She was currently throwing a temper tantrum:)

The Burke's

Saturday night we went into Orange County to see our bestest frineds. Colby and Shelly. We went swimming and then had the most yummy BBQ ever! We also had ice cream sundays for dessert. They have two boys, Mtichel and Logan. Baby Keaton will be making his arrival very soon. LOL!!!

Friday Nights!!!

So Friday nights we always end up out front with our neighbors. The kids always have a blast! Here are some pictures of this Friday Night. We always meet with four of the familys and between all of us there are about 8 kids all around the same ages. It is so much fun for everyone.

Play Date

Friday we went to meet my friend Melanie at the park with her two girls. She has a 31/2 year old and a 6 month old. We all had so much fun!!!

The Beach House

This week my parents came down and we went to The Beach House. It was so awesome. The views were spectacular!

Fun Times!!!

I thought I would just post some pics of the kids. Brooke is having such a fun summer. She is in camp twice a week and is loving it. She has been so great with Graham. They play so nice together.

Graham is 11 months and is all over the place:) He is such a good baby. He is also sooooooooo happy(almost too happy) He loves Brooke too. I could not have asked for anything more. I am loving being home with the two of them. It has been pretty easy too. I was expecting being overwhelmed but not at all. I told someone once that I love being a taxi cab:) I'll take that anyday!!!

Spectrum

Last week I took the kids to the Spectrum to meet Grandma:) They loved the Carousal. It was Graham's first time. He would just giggle every time he would go up and down. It was really cute!

Shopaholic Takes Manhattan

Okay so this is my latest hobby...which besides traveling is my only hobby. Heather told me about this series of books and after reading my first one...I'm absoultey hooked. I would recommend this fun reading to anyone who enjoys a good book!

Cousin Molly

Molly came to stay with us for a few days! We went to Misson Bay one day and enjoyed the beach!!! Notice Graham's new girlfriend. The girls played so well together. Laslty they put on a little show for us. Everyone had fun!
