Finally! A day at the lake!

The boat has been sadly under-used this summer, but we were so glad that Cory had a day off and we got to use it. Yay! We thought we would try Lake Piru since have never been there and Castaic is usually busy on Sat. and it was great! Cody and Lauren brought their boat also, along with some friends. The water was a little cold but the weather was great and we had a good time exploring the lake and getting to be with Dad (our kids just can't get enough of Cory, they always want to be with him). It was so nice to be able to have a day to do something that we enjoy doing as a family with our extended family as well. Hopefully we can get a few more in before the summer really ends!

Three Months Later!

Not only is today our cute dog, Maximus', birthday, but our Baby Gage is three months old. How time flies! It seems like yesterday we brought him home. We could not ask for a better baby. He is so content all the time, even when he is being attacked by his big brother. He is such a patient baby, too; I'm still trying to figure out how to please everyone at the same time, and Gage is always so mellow. We just love him so much!

Gage's Blessing Day

Yesterday Gage was blessed by his dad along with his grandpas, and uncles, and friends. Besides Gunner not feeling so well, it was a wonderful day. We are so lucky to have sweet. little Gage in our family!

Santa Cruz Boardwalk

A few weeks ago we went to visit some of our family in Northern California. One of the days we went with my cousins and their kids to the Boardwalk. What a great time all the kids had! They have so many little rides that are perfect for little kids. Gunner was so excited that he was able to ride in the airplanes and helicopters. All the kids loved the "mini" Double Shot. They would run back in line as soon as they got off, so we were at that ride a lot. It was so much fun and so nice to get together with our family that we don't get to see very often.

Shade/ Bow Party

This WEDNESDAY, September 3, Amber and I are going to have a combined Shade Clothing/ Hair bow Party at 6:30 at my house. Shade has a great new line out with a lot of cute, new styles and I have a bunch of already-made hair bows to take that night and I will take custom orders as well. Anyone who wants to come and take a look at the bows and try on the Shade shirts or just get and visit is welcome to come. Invite your friends! See ya there!

End of summer fun

Cory has been working NONSTOP for the past couple weeks and he finally got a day off so we decided to go to the beach. The kids had a blast and perfect little Gage just sat in he seat content as could be!

My mom and I took the kids to Sea World. Makenna loved it, Gunner didn't have the patience to wait for the shows to start and listen to the trainers talk, he only wanted action. Kenna's highlight was feeding the dolphins, and we even Gunner got to pet one as well, even though after he did his nervous habit kicked in and he instantly put his hand in his mouth. So far I don't think he has got salmonella or what ever disease dolphins carry. Overall it was tons of fun!

First day of School August 14!

Here are a few pictures of Makenna's first day of kindergarten. She has been ready to go for months now. She loves her teacher, Mrs. Evans, and was making new friends from the second she got in line. When I picked her up she told me that she loved it! We are so proud of our big girl, but she is growing up too fast!
