Flavor of the Month

This is Steven. He's Shannon's newest toy. Hehehe. Ask and you shall receive Steven ;)

~Quick Catch Up~

Becca and I hosted a baby shower for our friend Kari. Her cake below is a Mario Bro. Mushroom. She loves anything Nintendo! Even better than the way it looked was the way it tasted. Like a freaking Twinkie!!! Yum.Our dog Coy loves the water at the Lake

We found a spot on Lake Travis that is only 17 miles from our house. Woo hoo!

Bobby trying to catch a fish with leftover hamburger with a hook and a string.

Degan thinks he can swim. Thank goodness it's only a foot and a half deep. Believe it or not, he can hold his breath for quite a while, and does kick while he's under.

Jumping to Daddy Ready, set, Cheer!

We are trying to keep as cool as we can. That means a lot of time at the lake, splash park, and pool. Hope everyone else is keeping cool this summer too.

Feeling Home Sick

Wish I was in California. I'm missing everything it has to offer. Mostly my newest niece. Paisley. I'm so bummed that we are not there to meet her. "Sigh".

Congrats Shannon!

Shannon did it. She Graduated this May from CSUF with her Bachelors Degree in Business with a focus on Accounting. Now, all of that schooling has paid off. She is the newest employee at Voluspa Candles. ( www.voluspacandles.com ) Starting on the 20th of this month she will be a working Accountant! Way to go little sis! We are so proud of you!

Fav. Foto Friday

Here are some of this summers favorite pictures. (so far)

I just love her toes in this picture. She really wants to be in dance this summer... As soon as Soccer is over I will find a good beginner class. This picture turned out cool. She started jumping as soon as I clicked the shutter. Click to enlarge it. It looks so pretty with the bubbles. After our morning bath Kodi Lynn usually gets herself dressed... And usually it is dress-up (it's all she can really reach). When I checked on her, she was in all white. I thought she looked so cute I had take some pictures. I LOVE having a Girly Girl!

Hawaiian Shaved Ice

The kids and I had to return some books to the library today, and right next store is this cute little Shaved Ice store. "Kawaii". I thought that it would be a nice treat on such a warm day. It was our first visit, and it was such a cool little place. We will definitely be adding it to our library trips.

That bald kid is Degan. Hahaha

The kids got Melon Blast, and I got the Bahama Momma. YUM!!!

If you look close to the board, you can see how many different flavors they have to offer.

They did such a great job sharing! Nan... Kodi wanted to order you a Banana.

Happy 4th of July!!!

Good Bye June, Hello July...

I feel like I say this every month... "Where did the time go?" Things have been so busy, that instead of it being only yesterday, June feels like months ago. What can I do to just have time stand still for a while. So much has happened... And silly me, I've been to "busy" to blog about it. Well here is what I've neglected to share.

• Degan is fully potty trained! Yippee.
• Kodi Lynn is not afraid of sprinklers anymore, and will eat spaghetti. (Thanks Nan)
• Bobby's cousin Casey will be coming to live with us in Aug.
• Degan is in a big boy bed, and stays there all night!
• Kodi Lynn can write her name, and is bargaining with me about going to school a yr. early.

I can't be sure if that's all the news. If I left anything out, fill free to post for me! ;)
