CALIFORNIA!!!

The kids and I went to WestLake California this past week with My sister Tara and My Mom. The Purpose of our trip was to go see My Great Grandpa Just which yes my childrens great great Grandpa. He is so with it and does so well for his age I was so amazed. We have not seen him since my wedding almost 5 years ago. We had a short stay but were able to do fun things. We went to zuma beach in Malibu. This is always a fun experience for me. There is something about the ocean that leaves me in aahhh. I do not care if it is freezing cold I still enjoy the experience. The kids were also able to experience it for the first time. They were both a little scared of the big waves but they enjoyed playing in the sand. Micah asked Payton how she liked the beach and she said she got sand in her eye and the water was cold. We also were just able to do a lot of visiting with my Grandpa and meet a lot of his neat friends. I do however have to say that I was sooo glad to be home and have Treyson back in his own eniviroment where it is baby proof and he can get some good sleep. He had a really hard time but hopefully he can get back to his normal self. He is always crazy but not quite so bratty. Anyway here are some pictures they go backwords so enjoy.

The Fourth of July and Other Activities

We had a really fun fourth of July this year. We started out by going to the Stadium of Fire this year and seeing Carrie Underwood and watching the fireworks. It was great. Rick and Jana bought us all tickets. Treyson didn't go but he watched the fireworks at home with Jesse and Dustin Which was really nice because he would have been a mad man there thanks for all that everyone. The on Sunday which was actually the fourth we had a nice dinner at The Scotts house and did fireworks. Payton really enjoyed it this year as you can tell in the Pictures. she was right there in the mix of everything. Last year she was scared.
On Monday Was the Freedom Run and the Parade. Micah, Rick and I ran the 5K again this year it was good then we watched the Parade. It was a really good weekend.
The other Pictures our of The Baby Ducks at the duck pond and the swimming pool we love that place.
