Memorial Day

We had a really good time over Memorial Day weekend. We did smore's in the back yard and went to the beach. We weren't sure what Allison was going to think of the beach. She did not want to put her feet in the sand. Towards the end of the day she finally would put her toes in the sand at the edge of the blanket.

Dozer Days

We took Nick and Allison to Dozer Days which is a really cool event where they let kids drive the diggers and bulldozers. We even got to ride in the back of an earth mover. Nick had a lot of fun. Allison didn't get to drive anything but enjoyed watching it and waited in line very patiently. It was a great event for kids and not as hot as last year but it was more crowded.

Summer 2009

Well it has been a while since I updated the blog. I am hoping this summer I will be able to keep up with it a little bit more. Scott Graduated from Warner Pacific Collage in May. We are very happy to have him around the house more.
Nick will be graduating from Kindergarten in June. He has grown up so much this last year. He still loves to play with his hot wheels and his reading and writing have improved so much this year Scott says his writing is better than his. He is taking piano lessons and will soon be getting his yellow belt in Akido. We are both really proud of him.
Allison has changed so much this last year. She has quite the personalty and has broughten so much joy to our family. She is definatly a 2 year old. She is speaking so many words and can communicate what she wants very well. Her favorite things to do our to sing and dance and Barney. She will have been home for a year in July. This last year has flown by.

Here are some recent pictures of the kids.
