Oh the yester years...

Our Vacation to Mount Hermon in Santa Cruz

Mount Hermon is beautiful. The entire place is landscaped amazingly. Beautiful Ben... I am trying to take a picture of Ben in the front pack, while wearing the front pack. Fairly unsucessfully :) What would you say if I told you these were the best ones... hmmm. Mount Hermon also has a nice park that we went to at least once a day. Going...Going...GONE.

PILLOW FIGHT:

Now tell me what is more fun than a pillow fight, especially if you are a boy, and especially if you are 2. But mostly because you are a boy.

A pillow fight with thirty, yes 30, or more Pillows!

Benjamin's first time at the beach!!! It was pretty cold and windy!

Isn't the beach here just beautiful. David cycled by this beach eariler in the week and took us all here. We pretty much were the only ones there.

Sleeping Beauties

Don't worry, I didn't leave them like this... I sure Benjamin wouldn't have survived... but it made a cute picture!

When life... I mean Grandma, gives you lemons

But whatever you do don't google a recipe for Myer Lemonade and find an interesting one for vanilla myer lemonade and decide to try it out... bad choice.

Sweet!

That's all I have to say about that.

Giving "bumps"

Too sweet!

So excited!

Andrew, Susan, and Kenra's visit

Maybe I was distracted... they are actually sitting on this crazy huge turtle... somehow that didn't make it in the picture? I have shared previously about Jadon's extreme infatuation with cake. His Uncle, Aunt, and cousin brought him a birthday cake and sang him Happy Birthday. Ever since then he wants us to sing "Happy you, Happy you"!! Then he'll choose someone to sing it to and then say they need cake... hmm.

Kendra LOVED Ben!!!

Sacrameto Zoo

You know I had to try... That's about how it went!

David had been so busy for weeks in a row, he took a day off a couple Mondays ago and we went to the Sacramento Zoo.

Marine World

We took Jadon to Marine World for his birthday. We all had a great time! Jadon loved it, except the whale and dolphin shows completly freaked him out, now to mention it, so does the car wash... hmmm. But other than that it was great! He rode the elephant, saw all his favorite animals. Rode every little kid ride in the park.

Side note: it took us an hour and a half to get out of the parking lot. They had one exit and we left before the gates closed. Is that a little extreme to anyone else?

Is that not a sweet picture? If you can't beat 'em, join 'em We seriously had the best time riding the rides with Jadon. He was having the Time of His Life. He even loved the roller coaster. We just look forward to next year when Ben will be bigger and we won't have to share the little riding partner!
