Keep Your Old Friends

Old friends are sometimes some of the most special friends, and we're always so thankful when we get to see Tatum and spend some time catching up with her.

Do You Know the Way to San Jose?

You don't need to go far to have a wonderful adventure.  Sometimes the very best experiences are right around the corner from you.  We decided to take a spontaneous trip to visit our old friends and take in some of our favorite museums that we don't get to go to very often anymore.  We had an absolute blast!  We met up with the Heinz's in San Jose and had a fabulous time at the Discovery Museum.  We got to see some of Trevor's baseball game, and have a super fun BBQ with the Nelsons, Heinzes, and Vanises.  We went to a fantastic water park and the kids had the best time playing with Trevor, Connor, and Reagan.  We got to finish out our fabulous world wind tour with Lauren's adorable party.  If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times.  When you get the chance to go on an adventure, do it!  Go!  Have fun!  You'll never regret it!

Neigh, Lizzy!

Lizzy is the little equestrian of the family.  She loves to go to horse camp every summer and spend time learning about all the horses and getting to groom and ride them.  We love getting to watch her show off her skills at the show at the end of the week.  Go, Lizzy!

Big Girl Camper

Catherine is such a big girl now, she even got to go to camp all by herself!  She loved it, and felt very big and special.  Catherine will be going to preschool at this church in the fall, so it was a wonderful way to introduce her the school.  

Fun on the Fourth

Our Fourth of July was awesome!  We began it in the most All-American way possible by heading to the baseball diamond and watching Peter be awesome in his all-star game.  Then we zipped downtown to catch the darling bike parade.  We had lunch at our favorite deli, and then, because it was so hot, we got ice cream and watched the amazing bike race zipping through the streets downtown in the cool comfort of the ice cream shop.  We had a delicious BBQ with our cousin and went swimming in the afternoon, then caught the fireworks from the lawn of St. James.  We all had a full, but wonderful day.

Zoo Day!

Who doesn't love a trip to the zoo?  We always have fun when we get to play and see all the animals, and it's made even better with special friends like Portia and Xavier.

You Can't Please 'Em All

Sometimes, it's so awesome when you're walking through Target and you just happen to see a Coke with your name on it!  Sometimes, it's just such a bummer when you're walking through Target and out of all the Cokes on display, not one has your name on it!
