fun in california

sorry i have been so bad about posting... I have been very busy, but we have been having fun. Until this week we have pretty much stayed arounf the farm. The kids have been so dirty. We have been swimming a few times and went to a civil war reinactment which was interesting. We miss everyone at home but are spending this week at the fair with the animals so we will be busy.

We rescued 2 kittens from the barn and janae named them Ariel and Cinderella. She really wants a cat.

Golden Gate Park

Well, we are officially in California and we are having a great time! The first few days we spent hanging around recuperating from the lack of sleep. Today we went to Golden Gate Park in San Francisco with my friend Ryan and her 3 boys. It was really nice of her to invite us and we had lots of fun. Although I lived in Northerb California all of my life I have never been there so it was fun to see something new.

Here are the girls on a pelican- they had lots of fun things to climb on!

Jazzy loved the carousel- she cried when i took her off.

Janae had lots of fun- it was pretty cold so I had to make her wear pants.

Jaydon really liked going down the concrete slides on cardboard...
and climbing on the huge spider web!
The kids especially liked the "cups" that spinned around.
Dawson is so cute (Ryan's littlest)

busy week

This week i got to watch my friend Lyndsee's girls for her while she was in California! We have had a great time but I know that they were tired today because this is what happened! They ALL took naps today. I must say I feel like I have a talent- haha! Here they are all sleeping like angels.

cousins, schlitterbahn and the 4th of july!

We have had a busy couple of days: On Wednesday my cousin Cathi came down from Fort Worth with her kids Nicholas and Alyssa. On Thursday we went to Schilitterbahn and on Friday we went to Jared's parents house for a BBQ and then went to the local fireworks. The kids had a blast but they were pretty tired by Saturday. Saturday morning my cousin left but we had a great time with them and the kids got along so well.

Jazzy liked to dance to the music at the fireworks.

my cousin Cathi- I love that she lives so close!
