T.A.H.O.E.

In early August I took the boys by myself to Tahoe to visit my family... we had fun times and beautiful warm weather which we were grateful for! Being with my mom and sister and Swimming in Tahoe makes me feel anew:)

My old Pal, Mitch is a fireman up in Tahoe so he invited me and my boys and Alec over to the fire house they had a lot of fun holding the big hose and spraying into the forrest with it! he let them run around the garage and check out all the gear it was a nice thing to get those boys energy out! Thanks Mitch!!

 

And of course we couldn't miss any beach time.. we were there almost everyday with my mom and sister and the boys!

One day we met up with my buddy Dustin Evans and his gorgeous daughter Elle! I was of course ready to steal her when Dustin looked away but chicken out at the last min:)

Happy 4th!

We had a lovely 4th- My pal Tori and her son Aeson came over  and my bro and his family stayed for the weekend- we had  a fun afternoon of slip n slides and a night full of sno cones and fireworks! 

Santa Cruzy

Geez its been a while! We have been super busy! The summer has come and gone but wanted to share our trip to Santa Cruz at the end of June...


We hit the beach as much as we could! A Bunch of our friends met us there...thanks to Adrienne,Uncle Scott Burke, Jack, The Hurleys, The Longs, and The Martins for soakin up the sun with us!

 We went to San Francisco (without the kids thanks to PAPA and TUTU!!)  for a reception of our friends Niles and Merissa.  It was an unnaturally hot day in SF but beautiful all the same- I didn't get one pic of jeremy and my night out... but we had a great time getting dressed up and spending the night with our friends! Congrats Niles and Merissa!! 


After our wonderful trip to santa cruz we headed down the coast on Hwy 1 ... we wanted to find a camping spot somewhere by the beach but we ended up in the mountains near Big Sur.

It worked out perfect we found this amazing lil camp site by this river it was so loud at night it sounded like a freeway! As I got into the tent with my five guys (the 5th being Serg.) I was feeling so lucky ... mostly cuz their hot boy heat kept me warm but also cuz camping with your family is the best!!

There were a few biting flys in the morning and a bit of poison oak so we made it just a one nighter... which was fine:)

 It didn't take us long to pack up and head out... inside of going back down to the ocean , we headed thru the mountains to go to Santa Barbara. We drove thru this Army training base ... I didn't get any pics but the kids loves seeing all the big tanks driving around and all the training buildings and thousands of tents set up. We made our way to Santa Barbara and it was a beautful day!  we spend the afternoon beaching at this really cool dog beach and watched the sunset .

We had such a fun filled time seeing all our friends !! come visit us down here!!

Treyton is 9!

Ahh my little boy turned 9 on June 3rd! We asked him what he wanted this year and he said his own room... (he was sharing a room with Vance) So thats what he got- since we were doing that and also going to go on a big trip to Santa Cruz right after school ended we decided to just do a small bbq with our friends The Fudge Family! oh how we love The Fudges! we had such a nice evening playing on the homemade slip n slide;) (thanks Jeremy) I cant believe my lil guy is 9! so crazy!! on top of all of it He made honor roll again with a 4.0! such a smarty pants, and also got his acceptance letter to the GATE PROGRAM! we are sooo proud of him!
