Cleaning the golf clubs

Every dads dream.....to have his girls outside with him cleaning the golf clubs before you go play 9 holes. The girls were actually thrilled to be out there with Silas. I believe I heard Silas say "NO NO NO, Kenna" and I am pretty sure she was trying to put the toothbrush she was cleaning with in her mouth. YUCK! I must say I love standing back and watching Silas with our girls, they are very lucky to have such a patient, loving, hands-on dad.

Preschool Graduation 2009

Miss Navey has graduated preschool! What a fun year it has been. She has learned so many things such as, writing, reading, sharing, listening, singing, and just having a great time. Her teacher Mrs. Takou will be greatly missed this summer. Navey is very excited for her 5 year old school (kindergarten) and can't wait to meet her new teacher. What a joy to have your child love school, I can only hope it will last another 13 years!

Navey's 5 year Birthday

My beautiful, darling little Navey has just turned 5. How in the heck do I have a 5 year old, time flies! We had a great turn out for Navey's party, I believe we had 14 kids, 12 adults, and lots of WIND! No joke the wind was horrible, but it didn't stop our fun.

We played pin the nose on the Clown.

A fun silly game, roll the ball and keep it in the hoop, it's harder than it sounds; just ask the kids. :)

Navey had lots of fun presents to open.

Chocolate cake to eat.

The theme of the party was Mickey Mouse because we were heading to Disneyland the next day and one of the days was Navey's birthday.

More presents!!


One of the presents was a kite, how perfect with the weather conditions......lots of wind!

And the cutest thing ever, Navey got some GLITTER makeup from Grandma Lou and she had the best time putting it on herself and her cousin Tayli.

Sea World

Sea world was very HOT but a lot of fun. We got to see Shamu, the dolphins, seals, and many more animals. The kids had a really great time, even though we were all dying of HEAT. The raft ride opened after 12:00 so we all went on that to cool off. I got DRENCHED! Yes my hair was a mess, and yes I was trying my hardest to be ok with it all. Yea for ponytails!



This picture is to remind me of how pitiful McKenna was. She got heat exhaustion, and severly dehydrated in Sea world. The temp was 91 degrees plus, and she became very lathargic and wouldn't eat, drink or walk. That night we constantly gave her liquids, and tylenol she was much better by the next morning.

Sea Port Village

On the second day of our vacation we went to Seaport Village in San diego. It has shops, shops, shops, you could spend all day there. We window shopped, made a few fun purchases (sea shells) had lunch and just relaxed for a few hours before we headed to Anaheim.

Disneyland April 2009

Once again we made it to Disneyland. We had a magical time with Cam, Mike, Trees, Marc and families. I could stay at Diseyland for ever. We went on all the rides big and small, saw lots of characters, ate, laughed, and had a care free time.

The Beach

On our way home we made a quick stop at the beach to walk in the sand....BAD IDEA for my kids, and Camille's as well. The water was only 57 degrees and the outside temp wasn't too much warmer so we thought we could just hang out on the beach. McKenna had a whole different idea, it was all we could do to keep her from running into the water. Navey also couldn't grasp the idea of staying dry, she got her shorts a little wet. And 2 of Cam's kids fell flat on their face running away from the waves. Making memories is all I can say!



Guess who fell in? :( Brett and Raef were running from the waves with all the other kids, but the tide was coming in and they got hit by a HUGE wave.
