redlands

Jae, JC and I went to Redlands on Monday to visit Krista and Maddy and Jen and Cammy. It was so good to see all of them...I wish that we lived closer to each other! Jae had a ton of fun playing with Maddy. I think that she was excited to have someone follow her around and listen to her be bossy :) My kids are troopers. We have done a lot of driving to visit friends lately. Maddy, Krista and JC...they look so thrilled :)

cute boy

Look at JC's face.

Maddy and Jae

Jae had so much fun pushing Maddy around the house on her horse.

JC kissing Cammy. She is so cute and I am bummed that I didn't get more pics of her...I can't believe how much she has changed already.

a fun visit with old friends :)

on sunday evening we went up to the joseph's house for dinner, and its funny how some things just don't change. even though we don't see their family all the time it seems like we just saw them yesterday. i love how close our families are :) here are some pictures from our night...ash, jae and meg

a day at the beach

today we went to the beach and it was beautiful! we had so much fun :) it was the first time that we have been this summer and we decided that we definitely need to go more often. both of the kids love the water and the sand (jc only tried to eat it once). jae loved jumping over the waves and trying to build a sand caslte before the water knocked it down. jc had no fear...big surprise. after we got his sunscreen on he went right for the water. he pretty much stayed there until we left. he wouldn't even eat lunch and we all know the boy loves to eat.jae building a castle

Night Time Zoo

i love the night time zoo. it is the only time that the zoo doesn't seem to be blazing hot during the summer. the animals are always more active too.

jae and mommy on the skyfari

chels and lance

jae thinks the skyfari is too loud so she covers her ears when we go over the "bumpy things"

this is what jc did when we told him to look through the hole

we couldn't get both of them to look at the same time

triple piggy back ride

after a churro

yummy...i think that this is jae's favorite part of the zoo

goofy girls!

jc finally figured out how to say cheese :)

Happy Anniversary and 4th of July

on the fourth of july we went to my grandparents house. not only did we celebrate america's birthday, but my grandparent's 65th wedding anniversary. what an awesome example of unconditional love! we had a ton of fun watching fireworks and hanging out with family.
