June part 1

This has not been my favorite summer ever, but we have tried to get the kids out to do some fun stuff. One weekend we met up with some of our friends from Carl's work and went boating and camping at Don Pedro. I get very sad and jealous that I can't wakeboard this year:(.

Graduation

She did it! Our baby Syd graduated from Pre-school. She thought it was pretty great to wear a cap and gown and she got to keep her tassel.

Boating in June

Still catching up! Here are a few pictures from boating back in June. Caleb is really getting good at wakeboarding and miss Ashlee has become very brave on the knee board. Syd is still happy
just riding the tube.

Caleb

I am blogging way out of order now but today is my sweet Caleb's 12th birthday. Happy Birthday bud, we love you so much. I wasn't due until September 3 but this little guy decided to become my favorite birthday present ever. (One of my besties JoJo was due 2 days before me so I actually felt a little guilty having Caleb first.) He has been such an amazing kid. He is super smart and has the most generous heart. He is a fantastic big brother and loves his sisters. He has a hilarious sense of humor and is pretty sarcastic in a funny way. Caleb, I am so proud of the young man you have become. You are such a good example to me and the rest of our family. You have such amazing faith and a strong testimony. I know that you are going to be a great leader in life. Love you!!!

Kitchen Update

When we moved in over 6 years ago Cam and Darcie painted my kitchen red for me. But I was ready for a little change. I wanted something a little lighter because my kitchen is kind of dark anyway. So I got the paint and my amazing hubby painted and added a new back splash for me behind the stove. I was a little nervous when he just started routering away at the corian. But as usual it turned out amazing. Thanks babe.

14 Years

I am really behind and a little out of order but in April when nan was here for Ashlee's baptism Carl and I celebrated our 14 year anniversary. He was really sweet and planned a getaway to San Francisco for a couple of days. We went to a GIANTS game and ate yummy hotdogs ( they just taste better at the ball park) and the next night he took me to see WICKED. It was amazing and if you get the chance to see it, I highly recommend it.
