Santa Barbara - Zoo

What are they looking at? He is waving at something. In water?Very happy about this water something! A penguin!! And he really liked Jadon and our shadows. We must be like really kind people. The Doctor Doolittle type. Animals just flock to us. OK, I think he thought we were food. But, good food, nonetheless!

Santa Barbara - Beach

Our sun kissed beauty! After our trip to Southern California we took a detour on the way home and went to Santa Barbara for a few days. After SO much work we did to our house, the work that was still staring us in the face, the not feeling good and soooo tiredness... we decided we needed a vacation. A vacation from our renovation! I needed to escape the undoneness for a while. So we spent a few more days away in Santa Barbara. The weather was BEAUTIFUL! I'm pretty sure Santa Barbara is one of the top places to live in Ca, I know why! We had a great time, having fun and relaxing! And, came home with new enthusiasm to finish the work! Success!

Congratulations Andrew!!!

After much much much much much etc. blog frustration and many many many many many etc. attempts. This blog post is finished. I have been having mucho problems with blogger. My blogging section usually ends something like this... ahhhhhhhh.

But that aside, he are some pictures from our trip to Southern California we took in June. We got to go to David's brother Andrew's graduation party and graduation. YEAH Andrew! Andrew graduated with his BA degree in Mass Communications and this fall will be at work on his Masters. What a lot of hard work!

And of course we took pictures of the cutest children alive. I don't even believe I am being biased ;) Jadon had a great time visiting with his grandparents, uncles, etc. It is always a blessing to see our family!

You know your a hillbilly when...

I asked David if we looked like hillbillies when we were sitting on our front lawn in lawn chairs watching Jadon in the Sprinkler.  He said no.  Then later Jadon had been out in the sun a long time, and had sunscreen on, but I still didn't want him in the sun that long.  I asked David to go get the umbrella so Jadon could still play, but out of the sun.  So now we are sitting in the front yard, in lawn chairs, with a sprinkler, and umbrella.  David told me, we were now hillbillies. 
UPDATE:
What is going on?  Well we get the keys to our new house on Thursday or Friday.  Then we have full plans to paint the entire house, tear out a full house of carpet and lay about 1500 square feet of laminate flooring, baseboards, & door trim.  (We will post pictures.)  Have we ever done this before?  No, why would that stop us! One thing about us is we never lack ambition :) 
One more thing... we found out that Jadon will be a big brother come January!  We are very excited and thankful!!

Any water he can find

Jadon is in any water he can find.  He doesn't even mind getting his face completely wet.

Jadon loves strawberries

Hello!

What's wrong with this picture?

Sprinkler Time

Daddy, Jadon, and Mommy all went to the park this morning where they had this kind of fun water section.  (It only worked like 4 times though, water conservation?)  Anyways Jadon was having to much fun in the water we came home and put on his sprinkler.
