Happy Birthday Shawn!

Shawn turned 36 today. We took him out to dinner where he learned that we would be taking him up to Mendocino for a family getaway weekend. We love when birthday gifts can be shared with the whole family! The kids are excited and so is Shawn. He loves to drive up the coast! Happy Birthday Babe-I love you with all of my heart.

Summer!

This is what you get when you cross a family who likes High School musical with a room full of scrapbook supplies. You wake up to a decorated hallway to welcome you to summer vacation! This is what greeted me on our first day of summer. Love it!

Camp S'More Than Four!

We had a camping theme for Mason's birthday party this year. The rain didn't stop us from playing games in the tent and making s'mores on the bbq. Jaxon and Katelyn were the activity directors and all campers had a great time!

My Grandma

I am so sad to post that my Grandma Huff passed away this week. We all know that she is in a better place, but it has been hard to say goodbye. She lived with my mom for over 4 years and we spent so much time with her. The boys got to know her so well. She just loved when they would burst into her room and giver her hugs. She loved to sit and chat, telling stories of her childhood. She also loved to listen to your day, down to the smallest detail. Thank you Gram, for the love of reading and learning that you passed onto me. You will always be in my heart and I will think of you every day.

A Day at the Zoo

On Mother's Day we went to the SF Zoo. It was a beautiful day, but I think the animals were all still in hibernation mode. Most of them were asleep and the ones that were awake were not very active. One of the highlights of the day was when it was feeding time for the bears. The zoo keeper was above the bears tossing down the food. One bear was so excited to eat, he would stand in front of him and reach up as if to grab the food. It was funny! But, hey, I did find these adorable meerkats! I think I'll take them home.

Messy Boy

One hot day a few weeks ago, the boys were running in the sprinklers out back. When they were done, there were puddles that were screaming "come get messy with me". Well, leave it to Mason to find a hammer and go to town pounding away in the mud. I peaked outside and found this messy little man. Of course, I ran to get my camera, and a towel, and quickly got him into the bath. I love my little guys!

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Jaxon and Corey are on the same baseball team this year. We are all having a great time watching the games as one big family. Jaxon is really enjoying this time. He is getting good at hitting and throwing the ball. He's played all the positions and he seems to be most comfortable on the infield next to the pitcher (the coach pitches). It's been a busy season and I can't believe there are only 3 weeks left. Go Bees! Bzzzzzz!
